If you have the desire to be a nurse I say go for it. My husband and I have 11 children, I have had 4 heart surgeries and a pacemaker implant and I am about to be 39yrs old, and just hit my one year anniversary for my RN and my three year anniversary...
I never had to interview with Davita. They actually purchased the private clinic were I was working and I have been with them for almost two years. The company is not a bad company. I think it is probably the same as anywhere else. Some good and so...
I have been working for Davita in Houston as an lvn while completing my RN. I am actually in the process of leaving for a position at Bayshore hospital in Pasadena to get some med surg experience. I put in over 200 applications and I only got 5 call...

Thank you And I thought skipping 1 to take this one would be a safe bet, maybe I should rethink my game plan. I only have this series to take before I will be FCCA eligible and of course I wanted to be able to take those in November. I completed the ...

Congratulations!!! I am getting ready to take this exam, could you possibly give me some insight as to what prepared you most for this one? It has me terrified after reading a lot of the past post regarding this series. Thank you in advance and good ...
@jb2016 Thank you for the advice. I have taken the Hesi before. I had to for my entrance to the lvn program I completed last year. Yes, the Teas is harder. The Teas covered everything: algebra, physics, chemistry, English, and A & P. I had a brai...
I attended the information session and was going to apply; found out that they no longer take the HESI. Gave it a try with the TEAS. Completely bombed it. For some reason I feel that the math on that one test is a dream killer for me. Anyway, I just...
Lilia1- congratulations on your success with the Teas. My question to you is what did you feel that your math and science portions were heaviest in (e.i. Percentages, fractions, order of operations, A&P, chemistry,) Also this may have been asked...
From my understanding as of Oct 2012 you have to take your micro and a&p before you are allowed to take any of the nursing theory exams. I think with the exception I the transition to RN exam. I need to retake micro and it will not even allow me ...
I am really kicking myself because I paid and took the course with Penn Foster and now I have to pay EC for the same class and the same thing is happening with my Microbiology class that I took with Straighterline. I thought that I was being smart an...
You are not alone. A few of my classmates and I have been searching for our first nursing jobs, to no avail. I personally have put in 200 applications in the last month. I never thought it was going to be this hard. Yes, there are multiples listings ...

@caffeine: I scheduled my test for Sept. 16th and then just decided that I am probably as ready as I ever will be and moved it to Sept. 12th. That's today and now I am wondering if I may have messed my self over, but I will definitely keep you guys p...
Thank you for the response. I have been using Kaplan and the NCLEX 3000 PN link someone else on here posted and I am just beginning to get a little nervous. I really want this to be a one shot deal. My school purchased the Kaplan for us (really only ...
