Thank you so much! I did find a job in Indiana. It is alittle "ghetto", but I like the experience.

where are you working now?

I have 7 years experience as a cna but everyone tells me I need a year of nursing experience for home health, hospice, etc. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I can't get a year experience if I can't get hired. I'm trying to stay optimistic.

First, I would like to start off by saying that I have worked my way through nursing school like any other nursing student. I have my ADN with many years of CNA experience. I'm currently working towards my BSN I lived in the Chicago area all of my life, but I have never felt so let down in all my life. I can't land a job!! I have 2 kids to take care of and bills to pay. My husband has been a blessing to support the familythrough it all but enough is enough. I must have sent out hundreds upon hundreds of applications and resumes. I can't afford to have my resume rewritten professionally. Most of my classmates have jobs. Any advice???

What is the pay for Advocate Trinity for new grads?

Hi, I was curious if anyone had any experience in drug rehabs? What is it like? How is the pay?

@PatrickRN..can you email me the info for who is hiring new RN's..

Nope..I'm not a LPN...I hope I get my license this week..if not that okay..I'm just happy to be there.

Which State? if you don't mind me asking.:)

live 20 minutes from Chicago..this is my first time hearing about such a opportunity. Can someone tell me if I would be able to volunteer as a RN? I registered online already as a general volunteer because I haven't received my license yet. (passed the Nclex on 7/28). Any info would be great!!!!

Wow..weird..I applied to a company yesturday..Now, i'm really going to do some research..

I did all the Qtrainers..my score ranged from 61-69%..and 30 percent of the Qbank with 64% I also did nclex 4000 and prentice hall review cd for content based material..Kaplan questions were alittle harder..the nclex has straight forward questions in my opinion..I have about 7-8 SATA, meds, and priority. It prepared me by helping me keep track of my progress.

I took my NClex-RN yesturday and I went home and tried the pearsonvue trick..I got good pop up!! :lol2:this is my first time taking it..I did Kaplan and reviewed with Prentice Hall Comprehensive Review (very wordy but good).I thought the questions on the test were easier than Kaplan. Yay!!

Congrats..but what did you mean by the content wasn't like Kaplan?
