  1. NCLEX in the UK

    perioddrama replied to sineadsmyth29's topic in Nurse Registration

    Like others have stated, you have to apply to the State you want to live and work in first. And then when they give you authorization, you may apply thru Pearson-Vue and take the NCLEX. You do not...

  2. 5 Months and no job

    perioddrama replied to Bigmaine33's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    5 months is NOTHING. In CA, there are still new grads 2-3 years post-graduation without a job. I do not know where you are applying, but broaden your search. Apply to hospital and non-hospital jobs....

    perioddrama replied to blondie12ER's topic in Advanced Practice

  4. What are the best reviewing materials or books for the board exam?

    perioddrama replied to Aluna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the NCLEX exam? Is that what you mean by "board exam?" There are a lot of books and study materials both in print and on the Internet. You can do a quick search here on the Forum to see what some...

  5. Nursing school and kids? HELP!

    perioddrama replied to miidgett411's topic in General Students

    You have a great support system and you do not work, so what is the problem? Is it that you are not used to cramming in the vast amount of content in to 8 weeks? If that is the case, perhaps you...

    perioddrama replied to alondrap2003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Endorsement to California

    perioddrama replied to johnybhoi24's topic in California Nursing

    First, they may be swamped with applications. Second, if you are a foreign educated graduate, CA's BON will have to look at all your paperwork and see if you meet their educational requirements....

    perioddrama replied to sapphire18's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First off, congrats on your decision! Way to hit your milestones! Second, the northeast and CA are on different coasts! You definitely have a ways to go to narrow the field down. Good

  10. Bsn to nurse practitioner

    perioddrama replied to stylishgurl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I did my research to what NP specialty I wanted, I was debating between FNP and Adult-Gero NP. I found that FNP have the ability to see children as well as adults. Adult-Gero NP only sees the...

    perioddrama replied to Luigi89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    perioddrama replied to bear14's topic in General Students

    Not only does m/s cover a lot, but it also pulls everything together - anatomy, pathophys, pharm. Just truck through it and study and you will succeed! Good

  14. When are you too old to start Nursing school?

    perioddrama replied to bluedawg's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is that quote, "Age ain't nothin' but a number?" If you have your heart in nursing, go in with your eyes wide-open. Know that at this current time, the job market for new grads is brutal, but...

  16. New mexico board of nursing!

    perioddrama replied to itsuxtobu's topic in Nurse Registration

    perioddrama replied to katiejoy32's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  18. Please read! I need advice... BADLY.

    perioddrama replied to nessa_futuresomethin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ADN schools have a lot of applicants. Unfortunately, your pre-req GPA will not make you competitive enough for ADN school, especially if it is on the lottery system. You could try private nursing...

  19. Any suggestions on pre-nursing jobs/improving applications?

    perioddrama replied to ofcourse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Phlebotomy may not count in your nursing pre-req GPA. It may help in your overall GPA, but most nursing schools tend to look at the pre-req GPA. The nursing schools that I applied to did not look at...

  20. pre-nursing advice to get into program easier

    perioddrama replied to foof247's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends... some nursing schools will only let you have one class pending (that you are still currently taking) when you are applying, while for other nursing schools, it does not matter how many...

  21. SPC; Didn't get into the Jan2013 RN program?

    perioddrama replied to mhz1973's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am not sure if the school you applied to is on a point-type system. Your GPA is great; however, it may not have been competitive enough for that batch that applied. Secondly, are you volunteering?...

    perioddrama replied to giarose2007's topic in General Students

  25. Exams vs. writing papers!!!!

    perioddrama replied to chioma_LPN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do not think there are many, if any, programs that have mostly exams. Strengthen your writing skills if you want to go to NP school. Good
