RunnerRN2015 ASN, RN

I'm friends with a large number of coworkers -- supervisors, techs, RNs, and Drs. We also have a closed FB group for our department where we can post things like shift swap requests and department events (like bowling night, etc).

You graduate in 2 months? Our hiring process takes that long. By the time you started as a tech you'll be an RN.

As long as we get hired full time into the hospital system that my school is affiliated with, the $10,000 loan is forgiven over 2 years. I'm in NC, attended Carolinas College of Health Sciences, and now work with Carolinas Healthcare System.

I passed in 75 questions. I didn't do Kaplan or Hurst or LaCharity or any of the other study guides out there. I did 75-100 questions a day for a couple of weeks before the test. That's it. Maybe an hour a day, some days a couple of hours. Did I know...

I wore a walking boot for several weeks when I was a student as well as a CNA at a local children's hospital. No issues!

Relax. Get a massage. Do something fun. Review. Relax some more. Sleep. Eat. Review. You know what you know at this point.

I'm an ADN new grad in a level 1 trauma center ED. All the new grads they've hired in the past 2 years (at least 6 that I know of), we're all from the same school.

I also had one with 12. He was out of it until we started pushing D50.

It's finally here: TEST DAY! I take NCLEX tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. I graduated a few weeks ago and am ready to close the door on "nursing student" and open the door marked of "registered nurse". For those getting ready for NCLEX, I learned some...

I'm in NC at a magnet hospital and they hire ADNs all the time.

I graduated Dec 12, 2014. With school finally being behind me and the holidays coming up, I didn't want to study at all. My test date was early Jan (8? 9? I can't remember now). Some days I did nothing. Other days I did *maybe* 50-75 questions -- Lip...

Look into Thirty One Gifts tote bags. I love mine!

I had a job lined up 2 months before graduation. I'd start applying!

I'm a new grad RN who started in the ED at a crazy busy 70ish bed level 1 trauma center. It's been 2 months and holy cow it's been a wild ride! Some days are smooth and other days I'm one step away from crying in the corner from being completely over...

Not sure about pay for experienced RNs but Carolinas Healthcare System new grads make $21.12/hr (plus shift dif/weekend/night pay).

I graduated in Dec and was hired into our level 1 trauma center ED. We have a nurse residency program that includes a 6 month orientation to the department. The department makes sure we're ready before we work on our own. I can't imagine being anywhe...

This was my first thought as well. The ED would be "waaaaaaayyy too busy" x a million at times.

It makes if easier if you're the patient during skills testing for skills like taking BP.

It doesn't have to be a valid credit card number. I used an old gift card with nothing left on it. I shared it with several classmates. We all entered it at the credit card page and everyone of us got the good pop up. We all passed.

I think I received an email to my school email account advertising the program and the free trial. Google it -- I'm sure you'll find it.

It's NOT true that some people get every question "just because". You're getting more questions because the computer hasn't been able to figure out if you've passed or not yet.

I graduated in December. The level 1 trauma center/ED hired 2 new grads -- me and a classmate. I have 8-10 classmates who were hired into various ICUs at the same hospital: MICU, STICU, CVICU. We have nurse residencies for both areas (ICU and ED) so ...

I didn't use Hurst or Kaplan. I used ATI that my school provided (free). I also used the free 2 week trial of Lippincott PassPoint and got my hands on the test bank from NCSBN (free). I also used free apps. I passed in 75 questions in January after d...

My school required it.
