  2. can you apply for a job immediately after passing nclex

    NMW8809 replied to hansef's topic in Nurse Registration

    I started applying a couple months before I even took the NCLEX, then called the hospitals to let them know when I passed it. Like previous posters said, they'll verify with the BON anyways, so as...

  3. How long was it between graduation & landing a full time line?

    NMW8809 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Los Angeles. Graduated May 2011, passed NCLEX the week before Memorial Day. I got very lucky and started in a full time position (Versant program with a 3 year contract) in

  4. Soul Searching. I believe it is the right decision but...

    NMW8809 replied to kalin's topic in Nursing Career

    I say go for it! You sound like you're genuinely interested in the field and you want to be a nurse. That's huge. Change is scary - especially when you have two little ones to think about. I think the...

  5. Should I Include my Clinical Rotations in my Resume

    NMW8809 replied to christalmiller's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I included mine as well. A heading that says "Clinical Experience." Then I listed my rotations by discipline, the number of hours, and the hospital and city in which the clinical rotation took place....

  6. Horrible Interview :((

    NMW8809 replied to goldenstar's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with the above poster. I had a really bad interview too, and was scheduled for another one at a different hospital a few days later. I looked up common interview questions and had my husband...

    NMW8809 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Haha! I love it! Good luck, and congrats on the little one

  10. Residency Programs

    NMW8809 replied to Katalina511's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Most hospitals expect you to stick around for a while. I had to sign a contract to do mine. It's very expensive for hospitals to train nurses - especially in a new grad program. I imagine they would...

  11. Need advice please! Just passed the NCLEX-RN but a little unsure of my next gameplan

    NMW8809 replied to student_nurse123's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous poster. Apply now! It can take that long to just get through the screening phase. Also, there are TONS of new grad programs that start in January, but are accepting...

  12. A bit overwhelmed.

    NMW8809 replied to derekfitness's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing classes aren't as tedious, in my opinion. They're far more interesting. however, they are not any easier. You'll still have a lot to memorize - diseases, pathology, medications, treatments,...

    NMW8809 replied to usRNs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was hoping the new post in this thread was you reporting that you got a position, Bella!! I hope you hear something soon. For me, I was offered a position at Lakewood! I signed all the new hire...

  16. Student nurse gets the boot...veteran nurse fired

    NMW8809 replied to C287's topic in General Nursing

    Just want to say that I agree with all of the previous posters. That was a stupid, stupid act for all parties involved. As for your next clinical rotation (and all others that follow), expect tough...

  17. Does anyone know where a new grad can find work ?

    NMW8809 replied to ewrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The University of Kentucky had several positions posted a few weeks ago that new grads qualify for. I've also heard that Tennessee really likes new grads as well. I'd say your best bet is to look in...

    NMW8809 replied to girl84's topic in California Nursing

    I applied to the Registered Nurse 1 position. I didn't specify where I wanted to work, and they didn't ask. The eligibility list, from what I understand, is just "all Registered Nurse 1's." It takes...
