It's employment...take it!

I would definitely use that clinical experience! On mine I listed things like performing assessments, medication administration, providing quality patient care, etc. You get the point. And from your previous jobs you have customer service skills whic...

Hang in there! Ask for help when you need it. You're obviously doing a great job and no one is expecting you to handle a bogus load being new! Chin up, smile on!

I graduated in May and we were given a lecture by a guest speaker telling us to expect many ups and downs over the first year of being a new nurse. She recommended going on a weekend getaway 6 months in. All new nurses go thorugh a transition; we've ...

That post was for Peds, are you taking OB and peds together?

Not sure if this will help you, but ours had a lot of developmental stages questions. This test was my lowest (level 2) and the most difficult. I wasn't a note take either, I just read, re-read, highlighted, read again, then looked over my highlights...

Congrats! I too am a new nurse. It took me only 3 weeks after I took the NCLEX to get a job! It's a PRN position, but I am soooo thankful for employment! I prayed everyday that God had somewhere He needed me to be, and HE did!

:DGood luck!!! I'll be thinking of you!!!

Ohio, rural area, LTC, PRN position, $27.50

I was just wondering if I will get a call saying I'm not going to be hired? I had two interviews last week, one at a hospital (they hire new grads all the time) and the other was LTC. Both the interviewees were taking vacations over the July 4th week...

smb84 Give the BON a call. I waited 2 weeks for my ATT, gave them a call (be persistent, DO NOT leave a message) and she said "Yep, we have all of your stuff, I'll get your ATT to you this afternoon. I had it a an hour later and tested the following...

I've known I wanted to be a nurse since I was 5. My mom had a friend who was a RN and worked in surgery. I thought that was the coolest thing ever! I also always had my barbies in the 'hospital' and took care of my 'patients'. I didn't go to college...

Thanks again for all your input! I got a call today from the LTC facility and accepted the PRN position they offered. I'm in the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took (and passed) the NCLEX in June. I was on the OBON the next day later in the afternoon. I tested at 8 AM. I was freaking out because my friend took hers the same day I did but at 1 PM at a different site and was on the OBON before me. I, like y...

Thanks for all your thoughts on this. At the hospital I interviewed with the manager of the unit, not HR. I wasn't expecting to hear from the hospital just yet anyway. She let me know that she had other interviews to do this week. The LTC also said s...

I would keep the nanny job and take the flu vaccine job while still looking for permanent employment. At least the nanny job is stable income for the time being.

Whoo Hoo!!! Way to go!

I would recommend asking the place you really want to work at if they can give you an official offer. Let them know just how interested you are. I wouldn't recommend 'burning any bridges' with option 2 by starting and quitting within a few weeks. Goo...
