Hi everybody. I just passed NCLEX and now I am thinking what is the best way for getting the first job. Also , I am in California. Does somebody know if it's possible to get a job, having license from another state...

Thanks a lot for this information. Talking about LPN - I have had some experience in caregiving after my ariving to this contry so I new what to expect and I liked that. After computer programming crashed I decided to change an occupation. Talking about my computer experience Mainly I am Oracle/SQL server developer. PLus some experience in web/graphic design. I've been a long time with computers and have classic computer education (Master's in computer science and applyed mathematics).

Thanks guys for your information. And really painfull question - what is about demand for the specialists in this area?

Iwould love to do both, but don't know how do do it :-) Where to start and whom to talk

Hi, if you need help - feel free to write me.

But How and what am I suppouse to do?

Hi everybody. Looks like it was discussed a lot before but I still can't understand: Is it possible to use my previous computer bacground in nursing???? I have Master's in Computer science and math. Currently I am being prepared for NCLEX-PN (I graduated from LPN school this year), but anybody who ever worked with computer will understand me -- this is addiction. So please give me an advice : are there any ways to mix nursing and computer programming experience. Thanks in advance.

I would love to pay less, but they told me by phone about 200. Can you give me the exat page address about this price?

First af all it doesn't matter where do you take the test and for wich state. NCLEX is nationwide company and the price is the same around the states 200$. If you failed - 200$ again - this is the price for your exam.

You are right. I just bought this book - it's amazing

I agree with you and this is great that you have this ideas. Just don't dissapear - I think it would be interesting to exchange any information about nursing. :-) I hope to see you in Illinois. What city do you live? If you mind you can send me the private message :)

Hi blondiii. I am from Belarus - this is very western country from former Soviet Union. Thanks for your good words. What is interesting I am going to get Illinois license. So probably we will work together sometimes. And here is my advice: It's not bad to join to the studying groop, but sometimes it can become the waste of time. (At least it was in my case). You never know the level of understanding the subject of everybody. Try to understand everything at first. Try to get deep into the ideas, physiology and ethiology of disease, then try to imagine the possible ways of trating the patient and idea of getting risk from adverse effects of meds or condition.... Try to play a doctor (even on our level) with your abstract patient. It was my big mistake when I studied this stupid questions for the school tests and didn't use my own imagination about every disease. Plus meds... I have an idea about making something like helping system for the students about how to study. So feel free to ask me any questions.

Guys. It's hard to finf enough words (maybe because of my english :) ) for explaining my feelings about your support and atmosphere on this forum at all. But thanks for everybody. Anything I know I will happy to share with everybody. I am sure nursing is much more different with any ocupation in the world and we need places like this one, the places where we can find our own big professional family.

I will defenetely pass this exam. Thak you for the support. I must be fave to be sorry a bit about my emotions, but i guess it's much better to talk between people who can understand you

You can check your unoficiall results online or by the phone after 2 business days for the most states.

Well, That's funny, but i failed. Computer stopped on 85 questions, 85-95 grades in school, tones of studying before exam... I can tell the thing - there is something strong in ourself. Actually I am from another country and I have got there my master's in Math and computer programming (don't be scared :rotfl: ) but what I got from my experience - the only way to get your knowledge - study by youself. I was always studying by myself even skipping the lectures - so finaly I knew even more then some of my professors... Don't pay too much attention on your school grades - I am sure it's just fake for making money. Being a good student in school and licensed person after graduation are two different things. So for everybody who failed - don't give up; for everybody who is still student - pass your test but please read a lot by youself. I wouldn't like everybody to repeat my mistake. So good luck.

Belive me I know probably more than many how bad it is. I have had it 4 years ago absolutely not because I am alchogolic. In this concrete question I just want to understand the system, where at first school takes your money (private school is serious) and then nobody knows what is going to happen after. And what I am looking for - just probably somebody has the had same experience. Actually as I has been told it's not going to be a problem - I am clean with court, any stupit thinks like rehab programs. But the doubts are always the doubts.

That's true, but I couldn't find anything concrete. I believe there are many people with the same problem, so let's share the experience. Please.
