2. How to get hired without any experience??

   ProudMomof2,now RN! replied to mack8985's topic in New Nurse

   You can get a job in the hospital but it really does take time and patience. Apply to them anyway. I applied for jobs that specifically said "new grads encouraged to apply" but I didn't get called for them. However, I kept applying. It really h...

   Yes, there is an orientation. Thank you so much for responding everyone! I can't even sleep because I am so nervous/anxious.

4. Job offer....advice please!

   ProudMomof2,now RN! posted a topic in New Nurse

   I need some advice. I interviewed for a position as an RN with a restorative care unit at an acute care hospital. After the interview with HR came the interview with the nurse manager. She seemed to really like me and set up a job shadow and 2 pee...

   Thank you rnsrg8t. Maybe I will invest in a nice portfolio myself. :)

   Thank you ladies. I feel better about jotting down a few questions that I want to ask them now. Such a relief! More than anything I just want to make sure I ask questions and that they are intelligent ones.

9. Advice for those who want to make a good study schedule for the Nclex

   ProudMomof2,now RN! replied to neww's topic in NCLEX

   School seemed so hurried to me that I was pretty sure there were concepts and content I didn't fully understand. So, I set up a plan and gave myself 3? (not completely sure) weeks to go through Saunders Comp Review. I had to do 3-4 chapters per day...

10. Failed NCLEX

    ProudMomof2,now RN! replied to blynn9173's topic in NCLEX

    I'm sorry to hear that. I bought Hurst book but it seemed like I was having a playful conversation with someone I hadn't seen in a long time. I guess her teaching style just didn't work for me. I found the questions to be way to easy. I used LaCh...

    ProudMomof2,now RN! replied to ProudMomof2,now RN!'s topic in NCLEX

    I agree with KGH, it is a crap shoot. Some of them I knew, some I had no clue. I didn't study a whole lot on meds just because I knew there was no way to know them all. I studied the med groups and their common suffixes. If I knew it, great, if I...

    You're welcome. I hope I can do this right....here's the link to the mnemonic that I got from this board. Credit goes to someone else. I found it very helpful. https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/infection-control-mnemonics-299890.html

14. What I did and fail & my new plan

    ProudMomof2,now RN! replied to suns's topic in NCLEX

    Good luck to you! Are you understanding the rationales? If not, do you consult your other sources to find out why the answer is? I loved Kaplan! I wasn't scoring 90's, 60's in fact. I used Saunders for content and when that was covered, I did qu...

    ProudMomof2,now RN! posted a topic in NCLEX

    I took the NCLEX on 8/4/10. I am a long time stalker of this board but did not want to join while I was in nursing school and studying to take the NCLEX. I tend to get distracted easily. I was so nervous about scheduling my appointment that I deba...
