  2. How to get into the ER?

    I'm a new grad and will start in the ER next month. I did my preceptorships in the ER during school and picked up PRN shifts (I was an NA for the system already). I let them know that I wanted to work...
  3. Taking NCLEX Jan 7th

    First of all, I'm sorry to hear you didn't pass. As far as the next time you test, you may get no EKG questions, you may get a lot of them. Questions are random. Review EKGs just in
  4. It's difficult to get an NA/HCT job unless you know somebody. The school has an HR rep that visits every month; that's how I finally got 2 interviews and was offered a job on both floors. Since you...
  5. Taking NCLEX Jan 7th

    I "studied" by doing practice questions and practice tests from ATI, Lippincott, NCSBN, and a Kaplan book for 2 weeks before the test. I didn't do the q trainers and have no idea what they are. I...
  6. It's helpful from a networking perspective and being comfortable working with patients but it definitely doesn't help you ace nursing school. In fact, sometimes it's a hindrance because textbook...
  7. What to do after ADN?

    I graduated in December with my ASN and passed NCLEX a couple of days ago. I was hired into a new grad residency program for a level 1 trauma center/ER. The hospital has magnet status so I know I need...
  8. NCLEX befuddled

    Everybody goes to the credit card page now. You have to put in a credit card number for the trick to be done correctly. Only after you click submit will you either get the good pop up (PASS) or your...
  9. I've been an NA/HCT for the system since 2012 (throughout nursing school). I passed NCLEX a couple of weeks ago and will be changing my status to RN next month.
  10. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    I had to have high school chemistry for my ASN program but not college level. I'll have to take it when I go for my
  11. I live in Charlotte, NC. New grads start around $21-22/hr and, since I'm a new grad, I don't know beyond that. LOL Awesome area for families and housing in outlying areas is inexpensive with lots of...
  12. Taking NCLEX Jan 7th

    Thanks for the sweet words! I felt as prepared as I possibly could be the day I graduated. Because of that, I didn't have the nerves that so many people have not did I feel like I needed to spend...

  16. Passed with 75!

    It's best to wait 24 hours to try the PVT since the test is graded twice so the first score may not be correct. Everybody goes to the credit card page now. Did you put in your credit card information...
  17. NCLEX stopped at 86

    Did you enter your credit card number? If you didn't enter your CC number then you didn't do the trick correctly. Everybody goes to the registration page now (as of Aug 2014, I think). Search this...
  18. PVT

    I honestly don't know. I didn't study for it. I took it 3 weeks after graduation. I spent about 2 weeks doing 100-200 practice questions a day, reading the rationales for every answer. I did questions...
  19. PVT

    Try it again after 24 hours. Each test is scored twice so it's best to wait until then. If you get the same message after 24 hours, it's a pretty good sign that you
  20. The local diploma program school where I live graduates its last class this year. They have consistently had 100% NCLEX pass rates and have the best reputation around town. Sadly, due to budget cuts,...
  21. TEAS Test Exampls, I need help!

    I used this book a couple of weeks before I took TEAS. I found it very
  22. I graduated in December and took -- and passed -- NCLEX last week in 75 questions. I know there are plenty of posts about studying for and passing NCLEX but I wanted to add what worked for me....
  23. Prestige in Employment

    My school is affiliated with the local healthcare system and they prefer hiring grads from my school over other schools. The main hospital has magnet status and my school is an ASN but we still get...
  24. How I passed NCLEX in 75 questions

    When you can test depends on how quickly your school submits the paperwork so you can get your ATT code, which you need to have in order to schedule NCLEX. I graduated on a Friday (Dec 12) and my...
