  1. UWorld Self Assesment, is UWorld enough?

    thecareerchanger replied to napswithcats's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Uworld primary (tried ATI but didn't like it) and had similar predictor scores as you did and I passed in 75 questions. I would advice you to stop studying a day or two before the exam and just...

  2. Constant interruptions

    thecareerchanger replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    Interruptions are annoying. I tell the secretary (or whoever is answering the phone) to find out who it is and take a message if it is not a call I have been waiting for. I am not going to just run to...

    thecareerchanger replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    thecareerchanger replied to Sekayia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. Religion & Ectopic Abortion

    thecareerchanger replied to Happy.Nurselet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Interesting topic. I am pro-life/pro-choice; what I mean by that is I do not believe in abortions for myself nor would I advocate anyone to have one but I do believe in women's right to choose for...

    thecareerchanger replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats OP! I am a new grad as well and passed my NCLEX in October. Last week I was offered p/t day med/surg at the hospital I currently work at (I am currently a PRN unit secretary there) and I...

  8. Nurse Assistant experience worth it?

    thecareerchanger replied to A_Nurse_Assistant's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think getting NA experience will be super beneficial, especially when you graduate and start looking for jobs. Why can't you work part-time or per diem? I worked per-diem/part-time as a unit...

  9. NCLEX Today Shut Off at 75!

    thecareerchanger replied to Mandi Mae's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my exam last month and shut off at 75 as well. I just knew I failed! Anyway, I passed and all of my classmates who shut off at 75 passed as well. Continue to stay

  13. Northwell Health 2018 Fellowship

    thecareerchanger replied to aaj004's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think interview went well overall with more behavioral and scenario questions than 1st interview. I was told the recruiter will contact me in about a week (or send letter if no offer) so I will...

  14. New Grad needs info on St. Francis Hospital in LI

    thecareerchanger replied to ObscuredDream05's topic in New York Nursing

  17. Northwell Health 2018 Fellowship

    thecareerchanger replied to aaj004's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have heard nothing and some of my applications even state "no longer accepting applications" so I figure it's a wrap. I am going to apply to other positions at Northwell (med/surg) and other...

  18. Northwell Health 2018 Fellowship

    thecareerchanger replied to aaj004's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks genesis1930! Cookiexoxo there were also a couple of oncology fellowships (which I also applied to) but for some reason those aren't posted on the website. I really wanted critical care but if...

  19. Northwell Health 2018 Fellowship

    thecareerchanger replied to aaj004's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was wondering the same thing since I pretty much applied to all the critical care fellowships! My application also says received but I am wondering if the reason I never got a call back is because I...

  21. Cost vs benefit of BSN at middle age

    thecareerchanger replied to Grengemly's topic in General Nursing

    OP a BSN may not make sense financially now but it can open more doors for you, even if you have no interest in management. Also things can change in a decade or so. In NY BSN is now the minimum for...

  22. ABSN Adequately prepared?

    thecareerchanger replied to jj16's topic in General Nursing

  24. Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

    thecareerchanger replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am graduating this summer from an accelerated BSN and from what I can see only new grad programs care about GPA (usually between 3.0 and 3.5 minimum, depending on hospital) but positions not part of...
