how do you change username?

I tried not to but it was an hour drive to and from so I really feel that 1) they wasted my time and 2) I'm curious and want to know what I did wrong so I won't make the same mistake with another interview.

I had an interview a few days ago and at the end of the interview I was told there was no opening currently but will keep my name on file. Maybe I'm over thinking it but is it a subtle hint that I'm not hired? I was bummed after that and didn't even bother to keep my phone nearby.

Hi Everyone, I got a couple of interviews after I changed my resume and cover letter. I got hired at a LTC facility; however, the day I accepted the position, a hospital called me for an interview. I really want that hospital position but after the interview, the interviewer told me they don't have any positions open at the moment but will keep my name on file. Is that a way to let me know that they don't want to hire me or is that normal? I'm very curious and feel bummed that I did not get the position. Now I wondered what I did wrong during the interview.

Thank you so much guys! I will revised it ASAP!

Hi everyone, I never really had to write cover letter or resume for my jobs and found it is very hard for me to write a good one. I had a couple people take a look at my resume but because they are from different field, they really can't give me great pointers. So I am hoping the good folks at allnurses can help me with it. Any critique is appreciated. Thank you so much.

congrats paratroopa! Hi catroberts, I wasn't a great student either and had to repeat 3rd semester:(. So I hope that will help with your confident. I passed NCLEX first time. :)

Well according to this forum, MBON do the odd year and even year birth date. Since they are making it a two year renewal, they implement the odd and even year. Since 12 was the odd year that people have to renew on their birthdate regardless when they got their license, now it is the even year birthdate so that explain why mine is expiring in 6 months. Sheesh, you'd think the people at MBON would know the answer since they're the ones implementing the rules!

congrats!

Okay guys, I got my MD license but it expired in August of 2014, which means it will expire in 6 months. I called MBON because my girlfriend has the same birthday month as me and we took it the same day. Hers expired in 2015 of August but the representative can't give me a correct answer and I've been getting the runabout. Does anyone knows how MBON works because I'm getting very fustrated.

congrats! Now you can breathe! lol

Thanks guys! So Christinaxxcheer did you find out yet?

I just found out I passed! PVT really did work but I paid for quick result so that I can breathe finally.

Congrats! I'll know by 1:00 tomorrow…wish me luck!

I tried that, nothing came up but there was a disclaimer that the BON of that state has to participate in nursys.com in order to work. So crossing my fingers. I'll know by tomorrow.

Talk about being on pins and needles. I can't even imagine waiting that long......thank god, time have changed.

The problem I'm having right now is I don't know what to believe. Some members here stated that Maryland BON put all student names on their board with the word pending until they passed the NCLEX then changed it to active with the license number, and some members said they only put the name of the students that passed NCLEX on the BON, so I still have no clue if I truly passed or not. I can't celebrate, I can't tell my family I passed, I can't sit still because I'm a nervous wreck. Couldn't eat or sleep last night due to nerve. If anyone that knows how Maryland BON works please let me know so I can finally sleep well at night.

If it give me confirmation I truly passed, why not? It's much better than wait until they send you the letter. However I check today on BON and my name appeared but there no license # issued yet

Yes but I have to wait 48 hours. It's an eternity right

I so wanted to celebrate but I'm so afraid. I need confirmation so thanks you guys. Will update when I get the actual result.

Hi everyone, I just took my finished my NCLES four hours ago and logged into PEARSON VUE and got this pop up: "our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time." Does this mean I passed? Just want a confirmation from those that tried it. My heart is pounding so hard right now I don't know how I can get through the night!

This coming wednesday. I'm meeting with my instructor after the exam to talk about the paper. I'm so afraid right now because if I don't pass the icu paper, I'm out of the nursing program. I have one last chance to resubmit it.

My instructor emailed me that basically all my points deducted were in the care planning section. I'm trying to study for my second exam but basically my mind is on this paper now and can't seem to concentrate

Since I have failed my ICU paper, I realized I am not going to be a nurse. If I cannot even pass a care plan or know how to properly diagnosed my patient, how can I be a good nurse? I thank you for helping me out but I guess I just don't get it. Thank you very much.
