Hi all! I graduated from an NP Program about 4 years ago. There were delays from my school at graduation due to COVID and a cyber attack. I then had personal tragedy which caused me to be unable to afford to test. When I finally could afford to test,...

Is there any place where I can find help with getting an NNP clinical placement? When I applied to my program, the website said it helps with placement. However, they only help with placement within the state. My home facility has a new grad NNP and ...

Can a student nurse be called for deposition?

Thank you everyone for your responses.

Summerlin hospital had just posted SEVERAL new grad positions for their med surg floors maybe 2 weeks ago. Last I checked however, they were already taken down. Set up job agents for the hospital job boards to email you when a job with the term "new ...

I'll spare the exact details because its a long and very specific story that would probably get recognized on this site. I am a new grad nurse working in a hospital as ancillary staff. I have done 3+ years on the unit I work. Since receiving my RN li...

It does not matter what state you physically take the NCLEX in. It is where you have your results sent to (for your RN license) is what matters. If I wanted to take my NCLEX in Alaska, I can do that but my license would be for nevada since that is th...

Never assume that because you work in a unit that you will be able to move into an RN position in that unit! I had a few classmates that worked ICU as CNAs but were told they had to work 2-3 yrs in med-surg first. Granted, they had a guaranteed job w...

Today, I had a phone interview for a new grad position in a very respected hospital. I've been very excited for this interview because it is in a specialty that I love. However, now I am not feeling so good about it. They were running late in callin...

Thank you all for your replies. I am trying to stay positive since its a position I really want. But, I am aware that my chances of being one in hundreds is slim. I truly hope that they weren't serious in saying that they were interviewing hundreds, ...

I have a dilemma. Through nursing school, I have worked in a hospital setting as a tech. My manager assured me through school that I would start as an RN when I passed boards. I graduated in May and passed my boards in June. Now, I'm being told that...

I went through the program 4 years ago, so it may not be as relevant as someone who went through more recently. I didn't feel it was very hard for someone who had finished almost all the prerequisites for the nursing program. They are very strict on...

Thank you for your replies. It's been a rough week for me. The frustration with my job at the hospital is growing now that I've gotten a taste of RN work. I can't scale back my hours, but I'll hang in there.

Thank you all for your replies! I waited it out to see how things would play. Apparently, the person I followed isn't on the "team" that I will be on, but she was supposed to show me the basics of the visits. My manager has been very supportive this...

I am not sure I am posting this in the right place. I am a new grad nurse and I had an interview for a nursery/pp position within the hospital system that I work for. During the interview, the charge nurse made it clear that the position required me ...

Thanks for the responses. I was freaking out because of that. I wasn't able to find any open classes in my city when I posted this, but I found someone who will do a skills check-off for me if they do offer me the position :-)

Ok, so I just received my RN license. As I'm looking for jobs to apply to, almost all (99%) of the job postings specifically require experience and/or state "no new grads." Do you still apply for those positions? Also, I would appreciate some non-ho...

It works on iphone! I checked in my car after my test ?

Thanks for the replies. I am trying to stay optimistic. I currently work I'm a hospital on the floor of my dreams. Unfortunately, there is NO positions available and only a hint of possibility in the fall. My area is apparently not very new grad fr...

I work on an inpatient pediatric floor as a CNA and unit secretary. Most of the parents of complex medical kids are very hands-on in the care of their children. Usually the trach kids stay at IMC level or higher during their admission. As the CNA, we...

I feel the exact same way! I scheduled my nclex last week and now I have 7 days left. With each passing day, my anxiety creeps up more.

I would tell you to wait! It is so hard. My daughter was 16 months old when I found out I was pregnant (during my winter break after first semester). Second semester went okay. I took my mental health class over the summer, which was VERY stressful. ...

I concur. Everest & Kaplan are high tuition for

I'm a cna & I chose to go straight to ADN. Here, the entrance requirements for the LPN program & ADN are pretty much the same (save for a few gen eds). I had already done those gen eds while deciding what I wanted to do. The LPN program is 1 ...

I worked up until the day I delivered my daughter as a CNA in LTC. I am now 8 months pregnant with my second as a CNA in a hospital. Very doable. Not easy but doable.
