Old old old thread, but just a shot in the dark to see how the refresher programs went and if they helped you get a job. I graduated 3.5 years ago but was offered a promotion at my current job having nothing to do with healthcare and am really start...

I graduate from a 4 year BSN program and passed my boards about 3.5 years ago, I put my license in "inactive" status last year. My current job made me a great offer to stay on board which I took (non-heath related). I've regretted it ever since. I...

Unfortunately my wife and I just purchased a new home only 3 months ago. Moving now would be a huge financial hit just from the Realtor commissions and isn't realistic. I spoke to my Board of Nursing and they said getting back to an active status s...

I know this is an older thread but it speaks to me.. I got my nursing degree and at graduating was offered a great promotion with my current job which I took (having nothing to do with nursing). Three and a half years later I keep kicking myself wi...

I could really use a little help and direction as I'm quite upset with myself right now. I graduated from nursing school in NJ about 3.5 years ago and passed my Nclex in 75 questions. My current full time job made a very competitive offer for me to...

Thanks for the tip. Even if that is just my foot in the door and I can move on to another setting later on and request additional orientation or something.. I just gotta get in there.

I'm going to call first thing Tuesday (already too late today and I imagine everywhere is closed Monday). And I'm going to start the process of getting my license reactivated. Then I'm going to send my resume to every LTC, Rehab and Dr office in a ...

I put my license in "inactive" status last year. I called the NJ nursing board and they said getting it back to "active" wouldn't be very hard. I guess I really just need to find someone willing to see that I'm worth the investment. Being 100% hon...

I did take my Nclex and passed in 75 questions. I set my license as "inactive" last year. I spoke to the board of nursing and they said reactivating my license and being eligible to work as a nurse wouldn't be a problem. Its just a matter of findi...

I graduated 3 years ago but put nursing on the back burner when my current job made a competitive offer and asked me to stay on (not nursing). Business is still good, but I've always wanted to do something in nursing, and can't shake this feeling of...

What about doing something simpler like flu shots, or volunteering in a hospital to at least get my foot in the door to meet the right people?

Just wanted to bump this back up top.

Depending on your state you could do Tattoo removal. Something like 40% of people ages 18-25 currently have a tattoo, plenty of business out there. Most sessions cost around $200 and will need 4-5 sessions. You'll need a 2 week course to become ce...

I graduated from a BSN program about 2 years ago. I was offered a partnership at the small company I was working with at the time with a competitive salary to stay. I decided to put nursing on the back burner, I've now been with my current company ...

When I started nursing school I got involved with a start-up company having nothing to do with nursing. The company has since grown and financially I make a good deal more than I would as a nurse. Now 2 years after graduating, business is still goo...

I'm interested in nursing research but would like to learn more about the position. I've read a couple of threads and it seems they talk more about the skills that are required, I'm interested in what is actually done during the day. So what did yo...

Not sure where else to post this.. I graduated a year ago, I decided to stay with my present job for a few months after graduation for an extra bonus to get the business "to the next level". When the time came to leave my job I was offered a genero...

Just took the test about an hour ago. Got home and got the good popup. 75 questions, I had at least 10-12 SATA. I felt much better taking it this time. I scheduled it a 12:15 this time instead of 8am which I know helped A LOT! I got a full night ...

I waiting about an hour and half maybe 2 hours.. got the good popup

I've been doing practice questions with Saunders and listening to Feuer CDs for a little over 2 months now doing a little more each week. I'd say I average somewhere around 75 questions a day, I bumped it up to about 150 a day last week. My saunder...

My ATT expires next week, plus I tried using that site last time and couldn't get it to work on my Mac or computer at work, even got tech support on the phone and still nothing.

I've been averaging about 30-50 questions a day for a month or 2. I take notes on things I'm unfamiliar with and try to focus on those. This is my 2nd time taking Nclex. The first time I focused more on reading the book and less on questions. I a...

I have not, how do I do this?

I just took 3 saunders quizzes (10 questions each).. I got 80%, 90% and 50% (the 50% one was all "select all that apply" so I guess thats okay).. I failed my first attempt like 6 months ago in 75 questions and have just been doing a little bit of s...

I just took the saunders assessment test. It was 75 questions. I got a 76% on it. For the most part all my scores were in the 75-85% range, got 100% in a few areas. However, maternity and Peds I only scored 50% in these areas, which really brough...
