Don't do it. As a nursing student you think it will look good on a resume, but unless you hold a position (and in reality do you have to time run for a position with NCLEX and job searching/interviews?) it really doesn't do much for you. I paid 90 for a local chapter my final year of nursing school. Wish I hadn't spent that money.

Don't do it! Think about your license!! BEtter things are coming your way:w00t:keep searching for that dream job! I got mine recently and I just kept looking!

My heart goes out to you. As a new nurse, I think this is one of my biggest fears. I hope I am able to provide amazing care like you did in her final times. Keep your head up!

I'm taking the test tomorrow at 8 AM. That is all:bugeyes:

I believe in you:bowingpur in the words of a famous man "YOU CAN DO IT!!!! YOU CAN DO IT ALLLLLLL NIGGGGGHTTTT LOOOOONNNGGGG":w00t:

What state are you located in? That training does not sound safe at all. Either the patient care is going to suffer, some thing dangerous is going to happen, or worst of all you might end up putting your license on the line. And the fact the manager said:"its not very good" would have me running for the hills. Its up to you but just make sure your patient safety is your main priority. Keep searching. Someone wants you. Don't settle. Stay optimistic and that door will open up soon enough. Best of luck with your decision!

Thank you and congrats RN!!

Tell us some of the stuff they asked you on the test. And what/how were your study methods. Time period after school you took the exam would be cool too....

I had a smilar situation recently with a hospital (XYZ) I interviewed at as a New Grad RN... I told them I had two interview at two local hospitals the week before but that my HEART was at hospital XYZ. As of today I am the only applicant who heard back from hospital XYZ. All other applicants that I know have not heard word back. Just be honest, be you, be professional, show enthusiasm, and tell the hiring managers that you really want to be there. Good luck! Sounds like you are doing great!

I don't know the answer but want to follow this so I can know what the answer is once someone posts it!

ED bro!!

They may ask you: Basic scenarios, prioritization questions, what might you do in an emergency How would you describe yourself? What are your short term and long term goals; where do you see yourself in 5 years How would you handle a situation where a family member or a patient doesn’t want you as his/her nurse; you didn’t do anything wrong, they just don’t want you to take care of them How will you handle the stress of a new role in the (unit you are applying to) Good luck fellow new grads!

WHere do you get hired? And Congrats!!

These life situations are hard and leave you feeling alone. Dig deep and far. You can do this. I believe in you

Hello Fellow BSN student, If you really want to WOW your preceptor look up on how to run the Vents (mechanical ventilators) ie. modes, settings, alarms, pressure support, AC, SIMV, etc... Also find out what the patient population is like on the unit you are going to work on and read up on those illnesses. You never know, it might land you a job:p Good luck
