Hello Everyone, I recently moved from MN to seattle after I graduated from my BSN program. I passed my NCLEX end of september because it took me a while to fully move & get all my paperwork done. I've now been applying for jobs for 2 months & i think i've literally applied everyone in every setting of the field of nursing and NOTHING. I went for 2 interviews at 2 nursing homes but no luck. I have been applying for every position where I think I may have a chance but unfortunately ZERO calls back from hospitals. I'm really feeling pretty low at this point about my chances of getting hired and there are new grads that will be job-hunting soon. Since I completed my education/clinicals in MN, I have NO connections whatsoever and I feel like thats the reason why I'm having such a tough time. I am really hoping that there is someone in this forum who is working somewhere and is willing to get me connected to the right person/people so that I can finally join the workforce & be able to have my dream job. I thought that by graduating from a great University with a BSN degree & summer nurse internship program experience, it would not have been this difficult. Every day that passes & I dont get a phone call for an interview, I seem to start asking myself what is wrong with me? & I start questioning my own competence & at some point, I even began to question this career choice although I LOVE nursing & I truly enjoyed every opportunity that I had to meet & care for patients....it's sadly not turning out as I expected. Please, any advice, connections, recommendations, & support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :crying2::crying2:

Hey...GOOD NEWS...I tried it last night and I got the same message saying that I passed!!! I still did the quick results and YES I DID PASS. I think they must have changed the good pop up because before the 5-10 maintenance work, it was telling me to contact my member board and I tried it again right after and it said that I passed. THANK GOD....I am an RN....that feels GOOD

Hello Everyone, I'm taking the NCLEX-RN in 5 days and it will be my second attempt. As the days get closer, I get more anxious. I must say that I do read alot of the posts on here and esp the passing ones because they really encourage me and bring down my anxiety. I am hoping for the best cuz I know I am trying my best studying and I feel more prepared than I did when I took it the first time. My last Kaplan q-bank test was 90% !!!! so I'm confident but there is that little voice in my head that says "what if" and I'm trying my best to ignore it. The pos. thoughts are really what I focus on nowadays because the first time, I was a mess, didn't sleep at all the night before, I actually fell asleep a couple of times during the test....I was just clicking through the questions as fast as I could (If I didn't know it, I didn't even attempt it). Well when I got my results, I was near passing on all levels which was encouraging as well. Now I've been getting myself to sleep early and wake early so I can avoid another sleepless night. I can say, I'm exhausted from studying and I'm dragging myself to the library everyday and I still don't seem to be productive (ie:today-> been here for 5 hours and haven't done much). I would appreciate any advice/encouragement to continue studying. I am really praying that I will be able to post my YES I PASSED story on here to encourage others as you all have encouraged me. Everything is in God's hands and I can study my life away but I trust that I will not pass this test without the will of GOD. I am thankful that I have even made it this far (getting through nursing school), I'm thankful for my life, my health and family and to be honest although this test is really important to alot of you, We've really got to appreciate each and every blessing because even failure can open doors that you may have looked over. PS: I really don't want to fail but I am trying to stay positive :-)

Thanks! I found it....I also have Saunder's, but I was hoping I could find something easier to remember than going through all of that.....Thanks again!

Hello all, Is there an easy way to remember different diets for different disorders. I get so confused with which foods contain potassium, magnesium, iron, etc. Renal diets, cardiac diets, gout diet.....PLEASE HELP!!!!

1 thing that gets me down is that when I'm on this website, I read that some people are failing on 7th or 8th attempts. Then I start thinking that that could be me :-( I hope and pray that it won't be me....I can't imagine taking that test 7,8,9 times.....I can't even imagine taking it a 3rd time....DO they make the test harder as you retry??? But then again, they are courageous enough to keep going back at it and NOT giving up....So that gives me a little HOPE

265 Qs, PVT went to credit card page, Quick results, FAILED....IT WORKED FOR ME (sarcasm), well I failed and now I'm a debbie downer :-(

I don't have the lacharity book but from what i've been reading in this forum, a lot of people are recommending it....I've just spent a lot of money on this process ($800.00) so far!!! What is the difference between saunders and hurst??? I think I might buy the Lacharity book since I got so many priority questions on nclex.

I graduated May 2011. Took the nclex end of July and failed with 265 questions. I did not sleep AT ALL (anxiety) the night before my test and was at the site at 6 30am (test was at 8am). I was so sleepy through out the test and my eyes were burning, I was not concentrating at all and I only took 1 break. I studied using Saunder's and kaplan qbank (I was scoring mid 50's all the way through). This is the first time that I have failed a test and am very disappointed in myself. I felt like I was guessing on a lot of questions and was getting so many priority questions. By the time I left the site, I was so weak, I could barely drive home. I have now started studying again and I am using the exam cram, Kaplan qbank, and saunders. I will be retaking mid september again and I really need motivation and advice. There is SO much to remember, even with the content. I was an A & B student throughout nursing school. I was near passing on all categories of the nclex...I don't even know what this means. Any advice would be greatly appreciated (Thanks):crying2::crying2::crying2:
