4. Looking for an RN job in Cleveland?

   CindyOhio replied to wantccu's topic in Ohio

   I was at the stadium @0830am on 3-28-12 (1st day) & left after 6pm. Many people walked in vs. preregistering and this delayed the interview wait times - along with a glitch in the messaging process. During this time, plenty of food and beverages ...

   CindyOhio replied to LatinaRN978's topic in New Nurse

   I feel your pain! I worked for Kaiser Ohio for the last fifteen years as an LPN, obtained RN licensure Sept 2011. I was also not given any opportunity for even an interview as I was considered a New Grad & experience is necessary. I had great per...

11. Pearson Vue Trick Works!!!

    CindyOhio replied to Dawn Vylet's topic in NCLEX

    Took NCLEX @8am on Monday 8-29-11, test shut off @75 questions. Walked out of testing center absolutely convinced I did not pass. Was extremely discouraged and down in the dumps. At about 2 pm, I got the "good pop up". Also rechecked it about a milli...

    CindyOhio replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

    Took NCLEX @8am this morning-test stopped @75 questions--as I was taking test, some of the questions became too easy & I was expecting the worst. Walked out of there like someone had kicked me in stomach. Now 5 hrs later, the Pearson Vue "trick" ...

    CindyOhio replied to murphyal555's topic in NCLEX

    Just took NCLEX this am (8 am appt) & probably slept about 4 hours last night. Very discouraged as test cut off @75 questions and since the questions were getting easier, I felt discouraged early on. Don't even feel it's necessary to look for "po...
