I've recently landed an interview with Travelers insurance company for a CM position. If accepted in, it would be my first gig as a CM. I've been doing a lot of research as to what the job entails and the transition from a floor nurse to a CM. I was ...

Hello all! I am currently working at an LTACH (long term acute care hospital) but decided to explore other opportunities in my nursing career. I have a telephone interview with Traveler's Insurance company as a medical case manager. I am very interes...

Hello nurses! I am so happy to have finally landed my first interview at a hospital after searching for a solid year! Now, let's hope I get the job. I am relocating from NY to the Charlotte area very soon and received an opportunity to meet with Caro...

Hi all! I am relocating to Mint Hill, NC (near Charlotte) in a few months from NY. What are some hospitals that are willing to hire an RN with only their Associate's degree? I have no experience working at a hospital, only a community health clinic ...

Hi Dawn73! Thanks for your feedback. I actually have an interview w/ CMC specialty next month. But i know that doesnt mean a job, just crossing my fingers!

Thank you so much for your feedback lmandrade! Your comment actually lifted my spirits...it is crazy out there in general for anyone trying to find a job. I've been very aggressive these past few weeks with applying to the following hospitals you men...

Hi all! I currently live in New York, but want to relocate to Orlando, FL...does anyone know if I should obtain a FL license before applying? Or is it "honored" over there? I apologize if I sound like an idiot w/ incorrect terms, I am a new grad amd ...

I am taking all your advice seriously...can someone please tell me what makes the nursing world in FL so bad? Im just curious...besides the pay (which I know is obviously lower) what is it that makes it bad? I dont have anything to compare it to sin...

Thank you everyone...it is bad everywhere then because it is taking me that long over here in NY...no one wants new grads, in fact I am working as an MA right now because I could not find a job even as an LPN or a PCA...there are hiring freezes every...

Hi everyone! I am a new grad and recently passed the NCLEX in NY. I am going to start my journey of job hunting and I am expecting the worst, to keep myself sane, especially these days. I am confused as what to do: I live within the close borders o...

Ohhh okay, thanks so much for that 411 LunahRN! Now I understand...do you know if I should obtain an NJ and/or CT license BEFORE applying? or after being hired do they give you time to obtain their state's license? Sorry for all these questions, it'...

Hi all! I'm pretty sure this is NOT the first post regarding this topic. I'm a new grad and just passed the NCLEX last week. I only have an Associate's degree, and I'm aware that in these economic times, many hospitals will not even consider someone ...

Aw thanks Denisse-LPN. Good luck to you as well. From what I'm hearing is that it is hard for ALL nurses: RNs, ADN; RNs, BSN; LPNs and so forth. It's crazy because no one expected it to be so hard for upcoming nurses! We just have to keep on trucking...

Hi everyone! I took my NCLEX this morning and of course I am VERY anxious! I don't know what to think, but I am setting myself up for the absolute worst, just in case I do indeed fail. All I kept praying and hoping for was for the computer to shut of...

Congratulations!!!!! Such a HUGE accomplishment!

I finally found out Friday and yes I did PASS. Thank you everyone!

Forgot to mention this: while reviewing all rationales to all your q-bank questions w/ Kaplan, have all resources in front of you such as your pharm book, med surg, maternity and peds text books. And just do your research according to the answers you...

Oh and GOOD LUCK TO YOU! Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi court304! I took and passed the NCLEX after the first try and after just 75 questions just last week! I highly recommend the kaplan review book (of course most questions in the CD) and if you have time, use the Saunders book also. I used just thos...

please disregard my last post, pearson has my results available, just waiting for my husband to come home and I'll open it (crossing fingers!!!!!!) I will follow up in a few!

Does anyone know how accurate the 48hrs results are? I mean in terms of pearson having the results available to students in 48 hrs, or do they sometimes take longer? I took exam on Wednesday morning at 8am and finished at 9:45am. I also don't see any...

Thank you! LOL...but I'm not going to celebrate until I actually see the word PASS on Friday! But @ least my anxiety went down a lot!

Hi! Sorry to bother you again! but I did the trick the the GOOD message popped up not allowing me to register because I have already registered. I want to freak out and cry tears of happiness but I'm still doubting it! omg, I'll post an update if the...

Argh, I gave in to trying the trick but didn't get anything..it just said results unavailable at the time. I'll just suffer! lol

I wanted to try it but hesitant to get a false reassurance, only to find out I failed on Friday! Have you met anyone that the trick hasn't been on point with?
