I know also exactly what youre talking about. I am also a new grad with no job yet ::fingers crossed:: Im terrified to start working ...I hope they have good training wherever i am hired. I learned a lot in school but I did not get to actually perform some things on my own...such as a foley for example. I just remember that I know the procedures and after a while they will become second nature to me. Good luck to you in your journey and on your NCLEX!!

im sure if i understand exactly what youre saying....if i leave the college network out...how do i test out of my pre reqs? does isu still allow me to do that? and if so how much is it going to cost me to buy all the books or study materials to test out of my pre reqs?

I just had a meeting with a representative from The College Network. The program seemed great...I dont know why everyone would have a problem with it....yes it was very expensive. I want to go for my BSN through Indiana State. I live in Southern California...is there anyone that has completed the program for BSN and passed the NCLEX? I dont know what my other options are that are in the same price range that I could do online. I was going to go through the junior college but its going to take so long with all the pre reqs I have to do!! If anyone has any advice I would sure appreciate it!!

so after 2 months of applying everywhere around me...i finally got an interview for an lpn position!! i really want to nail this ..i really want this job!! i have not been to a nursing interview yet so i was wondering if anyone had some pointers or advice they could offer. what kind of questions should i be prepared to answer? i would appreciate any advice..thanks in advance!! :heartbeat

Wow Congrats on your job that sounds great! I just recieved my license in August also, and have applied a few places with no luck yet Im not bilingual but I do live in LA county...if anyone knows of any opening please let me know! Im willing to do anything to get the experience..pay doesnt matter! Thanks!

Thanks I will definately apply at the long term care facilities! and Its not that Im turning my nose up at home health I just was told it was dangerous for your first job because youre on your own and you dont have the other nursing staff around you to train you and help you out...thats just what Ive been told!

Its been a month since Ive passed my NCLEX and got my license! I worked so hard and was soooo excited to get my first job.....only problem is I cant find one!! There are tons of job listings ..but they all want experience...how do they expect us to get experience if they wont give us a chance?! I dont really want to do home health, Id rather work in a clinical or acute setting and really get some good experience in so I can reach my goal of BSN and working in L&D or postpartum! any suggestions???
