Graduated in September, had baby 5 days later, took NCLEX in October ... then love a few months off with baby. Got hired on an LDRP unit with start in January as my first nursing job and I LOVE it!!!

I am new to a LDRP unit - love it!!! One of my go-to references is the following: Oxorn Foote Human Labor and Birth, Sixth Edition: 9780071740289: Medicine & Health Science Books @ Amazon.com Good luck with your interview :-)

I got my job offer this morning.....I am so excited :-)

I just interviewed for an LDRP position .... keeping my fingers crossed and anxiously waiting to hear back :-)

I recently graduated an ABSN program and my bit of advice is to get in the habit of doing NCLEX questions daily early on - even when your answers are wrong they are good learning opportunities when reviewing the rationale for both right and wrong ans...

The prerequisites are important as they help provide a well-rounded base knowledge before beginning the nursing curriculum. Try not to look at these as an obstacle but rather opportunities to become a better nursing school candidate :-)

As a new grad hoping to get into the NICU, I would love it :-)

I took mine on Thursday and had official results form my state board of nursing on Friday morning - before they were available on the Pearson site!

Woohoo...congrats! I just passed mine last week with 75 questions. I know you are excited to be done!

While pregnancy may not be ideal during nursing school it happens. I recently found myself pregnant with our number 4 .. not planned and very unexpected. Luckily I am due after we graduate and I hope for an uneventful pregnancy. I wish you a long a...

Nursing school is great and I love it. It is a lot of hard work and you will be very busy! I go home on the weekends to see my kiddos but am away during the week which is hard for me. However, the only weekend I have missed with them so far (2 ter...

We used primarily cats - 4 students per cat with the same cats used throughout our 3 A&P classes. We also looked at elk hearts and eyeballs (fresh due to hunting season) and a few other preserved animals parts. edited to add - before you do an o...

There is no time in the package I received - probably plan for all day. Looking forward to meeting you.

Awesome for you! I am in summer too - looking forward to meeting you :-)

Last week brought a lot of happy news! Monday I got my point confirmation for a local ADN program with enough points to get the invitation for the proctored essay....(I have since declined my essay spot to leave room for someone else). Wednesday I g...

I got my call this morning too ... so excited!!!

No news yet. I was just accepted to a program in the Midwest that has a really good schedule for my family situation (nights and weekends) ... so that is likely where I am headed :-)

May 1st is just a few days away ... fellow wait-listers hopefully that means good news for us soon ... waiting is driving me bonkers!!

yep .. right there with all of you. Wonder how many is on the "highly likely" list

Given this detail, you have family support - and I assume that perhaps you will be living with family as well. I do not think you are being unreasonable. But it will take a toll on your marriage as well as on your children and you have to make a co...

So exciting .. big congrats to you :-)

I am an alternate as well .... seems like there are quite a few of us. It will be interesting to see what is in the letters when they arrive. Congrats to those of you who have been accepted ... I wish you much luck :-)

Great article .. thanks for sharing

Life is not fair ... and nothing is constant but change. Yes it sucks that you did not pass the class and yes it suck that you will have to repeat a class that you already passed....but you know 1/2 the material and it should be easier the second ti...
