Good morning guys!! I got an email from multicare from Multicare that they are considering me for an RN residency program in Tacoma General Hospital. I have 8 years of experience and I applied for critical care Residency program. It will start on October 31,2016. I'm a foreign graduate so I really don't know what will happen but I'm hoping they will accept me.

Hi guys! I just need some enlightment. I passed NCLEX 2 weeks ago. From then, I already applied to multiple online openings but since I'm a foreign graduate with years of hospital experience so I really don't know what to choose. Last week I was interviewed in a nursing, they give me 32/hour working for 40 hours. Yesterday, I was interviewed in a Vascular clinic 35/hour for 40 hours Monday to Friday. Tomorrow, I will go to an interview again for a nursing home. But this morning I received an email from one of the hospitals that they are considering me for RN residency program(which I really like but I heard they might fire me after 14 weeks of residency and my question is. Is there any salary for a residency program? If you were trained are they really going to absorb you? I always want to work in the hospital. On monday, I'll be for an interview on psychiatric hospital for RN 3 with sign in bonus.

Proud of you girl :)

I took my exam by Saturday and since its weekend the result was already at BON 1100H. It all depends actually with the state.

Thank you :)

I took my exam Saturday which is not a good idea. I didn't try PVT tricks and Quick results. I just called the BON. :)

Girl, I can't thank you enough for being there on my most difficult times of my life. You know what I mean. Because of your good soul, you will have a good USRN at the end of your name. God Luck and God Bless on your exam.

Just focus and give the rest to God. :)

Salamat :)

Thanks Saldridge. Im counting on you like you counted on me... Im praying for you too. You can make it.

Mabuhay! Thanks girl :)

nope. I used Saunders, La Charity,Uworld and Kaplan.

I thought I really failed Thanks God.

Good day fellas! This is to inspire foreign graduate, graduated many years ago and those who lose their hope. I'm a Philippine graduate 10 years ago. I graduated June 2006 and passed the same year. I worked for 2 years as a company nurse until I decided to work abroad for 6 years. Then, I migrated here in US September last year, after CGFNS CES report and passed NCLEX after 6 months of processing I finally got my ATT last May. I'm studying for 10-12 hours/ day(not-therapeutic for some). Here are some of the materials I used: 1. Saunders 3rd edition- yes you read it right. My husband just bought it in 2nd hand bookstore because I don't want to waste a lot of money on books. I read it cover to cover. 2. NCSBN 3-week course. Brush up of content and I felt so depressed when I got 40% on pre-test when I finished Qbanks of 1350 questions I got only 63% 90th percentile. I have read here in allnurses about Uworld. 3. Uworld-this is a very helpful question banks with a very good rationale. I got only 52.7% 64th percentile and I felt very frustrated but please its a lesson learned. DONT RELY ON THE SCORES. LEARN FROM EVERY CORRECT AND WRONG QUESTIONS! 4.Kaplan Qtrainers 1-7-this was given by my good friend and I felt that Kaplan Qbank is easier because I got 63% 98.3 percentile. I felt relieved. :) 5. Saunders-my good friend shares her 6th edition of Qbanks and Im getting 68% to 85% which is really satisfying. 6. Uworld again- I'm not satisfied with my Uworld scores so I subscribe qbank again using my other email to measure my knowledge. Fortunately, I got 76.3% 97th percentile because some of the questions are already familiar to me so that is expected. I took the exam last Saturday, and by 1100H my name is already at BON site. LESSON:THERE'S NO EXACT REVIEW MATERIAL WHO WILL SPOONFEED YOU WITH ANSWERS. YOU NEED TO WORK HARD AND ASNWER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND THINGS WILL ALWAYS BE WORTH IT. LuluRN
