  1. Going Backwards

    HarStarr posted a topic in General Nursing

  2. Going Backwards

    HarStarr replied to HarStarr's topic in General Nursing

    If I can respond for Amarilla in my reply, I'd say it's harder in NJ because facilities ask so much of new grads. Hospitals want 3-5 yrs experience in North NJ (near NYC); agencies don't have the...

  3. Going Backwards

    HarStarr replied to HarStarr's topic in General Nursing

    This has always been my downfall. I lack confidence & I'm scared to ask for help. The whole "dealing with humans" aspect of nursing terrifies me even more. People expect you to have all the...

    HarStarr replied to HarStarr's topic in General Nursing

  15. For new grads looking for their first job

    HarStarr replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's what you know or how much experience you have anymore. It's WHO you know. Many of my classmates have found jobs thru the connections they made during nursing school. Stupid me was...

  16. Cane walking on a level surface, what is the CORRECT order?

    HarStarr replied to studykittycleo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hold the cane on your unaffected side. Advance cane with your affected LE. So, let's say bad left hip. With cane in RIGHT hand, LEFT foot & cane advance, then RIGHT

  17. How long between graduation and NCLEX?

    HarStarr replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I finished school in Dec. 2009, got my ATT in Apr. 2010 (long story), took the NCLEX-RN in May 2010. Failed first try & reapplied & got my new ATT in June 2010. Retook the NCLEX in July 2010...

    HarStarr replied to Ivanabanonymous's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This sounds similar to my story... I graduated in May but couldn't take the NCLEX until I passed the HESI in January. After passing the HESI, I applied to the state for my license & waited to get...

  19. did i fail the nclex today?

    HarStarr replied to runner20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is my 2nd go-around. I did the trick immediately after the 1st one & it went straight to the CC page. I can't figure out how to find a list of licensed nurses on the NJBON site. So, I think...

    HarStarr posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  23. Re-registering for NCLEX-RN

    HarStarr replied to HarStarr's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks, WEST1014. But the NJBON doesn't require another fee for reapplication. That's why I thought I could use my old ATT. I sent everything out, so I've just gotta wait...again.
