I'm a new grad to L&D also. It's been about 3 months! There is lots to love, but with being a NEW nurse, it can be challenging. Be open to learning the different ways people do stuff, stay tough because some nurses/OBs do talk down to you, and take lots of notes! Good luck.

Las Vegas new grad salary for L&D is $32.52/hour + $2.10 night differential.

I got an 1039 on HESI Exit Exam that I took in Dec 2013. I did practice questions daily, about 100, the week leading up to the exam from various sources (Saunders mostly). It also helped that I had finals the same week, so studying for those helped me to study for the exit exam. I did not use the Hesi Comprehensive Review for NCLEX-RN book, but I did use the questions on Evolve from this book. Additionally, my school gave us a 3-day live review course the days leading up to our exit HESI in which the teacher was very helpful.

Currently, the school I attended requires we pass with a 900. Last semester, the requirement was 850. No one failed the NCLEX and my school has an NCLEX first attempt pass rate of 98% for the year of 2013.
