Hey! Just a little tip...if you go to the website to register for the NCLEX RN the day after you take the test,and try to register for the test you will be able to get your test results fast and FREE! If you passed it will not let you register to take the test, and a little message will pop up that says, "This candidate has already passed the exam." :) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! And congratulations vnickor!

It seems that NY is a tough cookie to crack. Here is what I have going against me... I currently have an AAS in nursing. (not the coveted BSN) I have terrible credit from putting myself through nursing school. I am in a catch 22 about pursuing my BSN due to not being able to get loans because of the aforementioned bad credit, and not having a decent (or even livable) income. Here is what I have going for me: I hold a bachelors degree in something else. I graduated with honors from nursing school. I was awarded best nursing student of my graduating class. I LOVE BEING A NURSE. I know...we all love it, right? I am becoming a little discouraged though because I have finally found something I love to do, and yet I cannot seem to catch a break. So any NY nurses out there with any good advice for me? I would appreciate anything you could tell me. Also, I am incredibly interested in Bellevue. I have loved the hospital since my very first clinical. Tomorrow I am going to talk with someone to begin volunteering there, is this a good idea? And when the volunteer dept asks me about my reasons for volunteering do I include that I am a newly graduated nurse who would really love to pursue a career there at some point? Thank You!
