Johnston CC in Smithfield does not use a waiting list, it is always merit based. Great NCLEX pass rate but you do have to be CNA 1 to be accepted.

Cardiac/tele, 1:5 days and 1:6 nights guaranteed!

I passed with 75 and about 20 of them were peds or womens health. Lucky for me as those are my areas.

I didn't find that, do I have to scroll through all the pages?

Why do you "have" to get half the NCLEX questions wrong? Some could pass with 24% wrong even.

Call your bon, they may have a problem completing your background check or paperwork. 2 nclex passees (?) in my residency have been waiting a few weeks for theirs to be sorted out.

Depends on your area, my school takes some LPN's in Spring of the first year but it depends on available seats. Only about 75% make it to RN. Unfortunately the LPN is being phased out in the major med centers so there are not as many jobs anymore.

Don't let Suzanne see your screen name. Apparently you can only use nurse/RN/LPN if you have a license.

Yea, you are probably ready. I bet you'll be surprised when you see it and think that you even over-studied.

Almost as hard as getting into RN school.

Start checking the hospital employment openings as many of these internships will be filled long before you graduate and you may miss out.

Psych was my favorite clinical even though it was not what I wanted to do. We did our rotation at a womens prison and had the best time. My favorite experience was a peds preceptorship which showed me what I wanted to do when I graduated.

Did you think the docs ran the hospitals??? Anyway, there is a diff between medical diagnosis and nursing diagnosis. Hang in there, the clouds will lift.

When we were in school we had a lot of recruiters come and buy us lunch. I ended up working a residency for one of those that was not initially on my job radar. Thankfully jobs are so plentiful here that pretty much all my class had jobs before gradu...

I was another who felt great when I left, actually pumped up and talking a mile a minute. There were a few in my class who felt the same so don't let anyone take that feeling from you!

I'm not hung up on it, I passed with 75 as did my class.

well our whole class was misinformed then!

I got a bunch of OB questions (a lot of drugs) and about 6 all that apply which I have heard is a good sign. Good luck.

I think that the Saunders questions are much different and easier than the NCLEX while Kaplans are closer. Try Mosbys book too, I saw one NCLEX question almost identical in their book.

The issue here is more running out of time than getting 265, I know those who passed with the max but how about the pass rate for running out of time?

Try the NCLEX board under student nurse forum. I think there have been a few that ran out of time, most failed but not all. It ain't over til you hear that fat lady singing though.

I just started my first hospital job, RN residency!! I am orienting with 3 weeks of classroom with alternative clinicals then we do 3 rotations to different units before going to our home unit. Anyone else doing a residents program?

I have seen so many of those on my campus!!

In NC they just asked for a drivers license and the ATT. Double check your appt time especially if you did it online as there was a guy turned away when I was there. Apparently he said up the time but did not click confirm, he was sick about it but h...

My test was very straightford "Your patient has just been diagnosed with X, which of these would you expect to assess" Nothing weird or tricky at all, basically what I was used to in school.
