I have a few friends that couldn't pass the NCLEX and went on to new careers.

I failed the nclex 2 times. I don't feel I will ever pass. The test is extremely hard...

Hospitals and nursing homes now want experienced nurses. It is difficult to get experience if they don't want to hire new nurses. A few people did not pass the nclex.

Wow darien!!!! That is really really really great and very surprising. Unfortunately everyone I know were not as fortunate. It has been a couple of years since we graduated and 3 of my friends are waitresses now. One of my friends just got a job at the casino. One of my friends is a realtor. I am currently working in car sales.

We graduated in dec. 2010 from wcccd nursing program and we still do not have nursing jobs. Make sure you are financially stable too. Thank god our husbands have jobs. Good luck everyone.

Basically all the hospitals want you to have your bsn and 2 years experience or a minimum of 1 year.

May not get a job after school. Good luck

How do or did you like working for tendercare?

I asked my nursing instructors they agreed you are to old. Good luck.

toooo old

To old!!!

I have two male neighbors that graduated from nursing school in the past year. They are 45 and 47 years old. They have had no job offers as of yet.

Thank you so much everyone for your replys.... Good luck!!!!

Thank you so much for your reply. How many weeks are the semesters? How many classes can you take at once?
