    sourapril replied to krissyr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Remember, all nurses feel stupid and inadequate when they first start. Just think about what if someone takes your job and you are now unemployed. Trust me, it's much better to have a job than not....

    sourapril replied to sourapril's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's so sad. Some of my friends are the smartest people I've ever met (they aced their SATs, and got all kinds of scholarship while in school). They have jobs, but it pays way less than what they...

    sourapril replied to mhy12784's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You mean like being promoted to a charge nurse or something? That depends on where you are. For some units, after a year or two you will be doing charge, and for others, you can't be a permanent...

    sourapril posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just want to see what everyone's plan is besides studying for NCLEX.:) Also, if you don't have a CNA job or other jobs already, what else can you do for a few months during the gap? I plan to...

  8. What do (did) you do during the gap between graduation and your first job

    sourapril replied to sourapril's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, looks like most of you found or had a job lined up soon after graduation. I applied to 20+ jobs and no interviews yet. I babysit occasionally, apply for jobs (of course!), and have depressing...

    sourapril replied to UCAFblue's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. Took my nclex for the second time

    sourapril replied to kyliez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is what happened to me. I knew I did well in the beginning of the test because after 2-3 questions, I got a SATA. But after about 7 more questions, I would get a really easy one (not easy in the...

    sourapril replied to itsbekah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do not despair and do not give up. You work so hard in nursing school so that YOU can become a nurse. Did you do Kaplan? I found it's really helpful. Try to relax on the day of the exam. Anxiety is...

    sourapril replied to NewbyLPN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do the Kaplan Q trainer and Q bank. Take at least 75 questions a day. I found Saunders was going too much in detail and was not helpful in terms of taking NCLEX. Remember, passing NCLEX doesn't make...
