I am in chesterfield, VA. I just got my first nursing job. I have zero experience. I was hired 3pm to 11pm shift. I will be making $ 16.50 an hour plus benefits.

I attend rsht. I passed my boards on the first try. I think it is all about how much you are willing to teach yourself as well. No it is the best school but it gave me what I needed. on the floor is where you truly learn the most. I am now working as an lpn and I am also attending community college working on my RN.

okay I went to John tyler today to get all of my enrollment paper work done. I did'nt know tha, they did'nt have the LPN to RN track anymore. So I will be going the old regular route, starting spring 2011. I'm excited though, I am taking the steps to become an RN!

Yes, I have applied for LTC jobs. I am going to do some follow up calls to some of the places. how is the search going for an LTC jobs for you?

I know how you feel ladies. I had one phone call from a lady just to tell me that i did not have enough experience. I need six months of experience in peds but she would keep my resume on file. just in case something were to change. I did a follow up call to two places today and I have not heard anything back yet.

what kind of jobs do you get by going to a temp place?

Does giving flu shot pay pretty good? I have saw some posting for that job in my area.

I know how you feel. There are a lot of posting online for nurses but there are a lot of us out there. I know some of them don't want new grads. How am i supposed to get that experience under my belt? I know childern cost, and xmas is coming up really soon, that is why I am starting to feel the stress even more.

:dancgrp:congrads! I did the pvt trick as well. I passed! I got my lincese in the mail before the paper stating that I Indeed passed.

LOL my friend said the same thing. stop stressing and everything will fall into place. Thank you!

omg congrads!!!!! let me tel you the trick worked for me!!!!!:clpty:

Thank you so much vwde!!!! I applied for a few more postions today. I am planning on going to a few place tomorrow and apply in person. some place do not take applications in person in more. I am trying to stay postive but it is very hard I have a two and half year old son to care for.

I am in richmond , va and you?

hola, I used the saunders book and the cd. The cd really help because I was able to understand why I answered the question wrong.

Thank you, I will! is the cost of living higher in northern, virginia?

not really at the moment, I have been out of work for a while. My husband's job is here as well. I have a little one as well so it makes it extra hard to relocate right now.

I am in richmond. I wish I were closer to northen, VA

I passed my nclex oct 15th, 2010. I have applying like crazy for all nursing jobs. still no replies, where are all the jobs? I'm driving myself crazy trying to find a job. I don't want to go to a nursing temp place because I am fresh out of school. wow I needed to get that off my chest!

that's a good question! I am thinking about attending there as well. mhmm have you tired calling the admissions office?

good Luck !!!!!

you wiill be fine, just relax and do your best! good luck to you!

yes!!! this trick worked!!! I found out this morning that I passed, and this was after i did the PVT trick.

Congrads!!!!! :cheers: I just found out that i passed this morning as well!

I really hope you pass! what state are you in? I am in virginia so i can offically check in the morning.

I took the nclex-pn test today, the computer cut off at 85 questions. I Came home to log on to the person website, I saw the good pop-up. I hope this really means I past! I really need a job now.
