Just took and passed CEN yesterday, I did the practice tests from the ENA study guide, used Sheehy's Emergency Nursing Manual for reference and also some ENA online modules that my employer gave me access to when I first started as a nurse 2 years ag...

Tagging for future reference, I am planning on taking the CEN next year. Still in my first year as nurse but others' posts in this thread are encouraging.

I agree with Chiromed0, school should be the highest priority. I had been an ER Tech for 2 years before I started nursing school but it would have been difficult adjusting to a new job AND nursing school. If you can find a place that will work with y...

I just got an offer for a new grad position in the ER at the hospital I've worked at as a technician and PALS was a requirement so it might be beneficial for you.

Thanks!

They might be working on your application, my application "disappeared" when I was still waiting for my ATT and a couple days later my application was back with an updated status and I received my ATT.

My license posted on the 10th and I received my card yesterday in the mail, congrats to you on passing!

License posted 7/10/15, officially an RN!

I spoke to one of the staff members in the nursing department at my school yesterday who confirmed that my transcripts were sent out last week so hopefully my license will post soon!

My degree finally posted 2 days ago so hopefully my school sends transcripts soon. One of my coworkers went to my school and he took the NCLEX in early June and didn't see his license post to the BRN until July 4th.

Took mine on June 8th and still hasn't posted. I finished in 75 questions and got the good pop up for the Pearson Vue Trick. My school still hasn't posted my degree to my transcripts so I think that may be the reason why my license hasn't posted.

Tagging for future reference!

Our program has traditionally had 10 weeks of summer classes and from my understanding that's usually around she those externships start So it would have been nearly impossible to do an internship. I would say it's still doubtful even with the change...

Are you talking about like the COPE Health Solutions CCE program or something else? I did that program a while ago but I have also have worked in a local hospital for the past 5 years so I didn't look into interships while in school. It just depends ...

I am about to graduate from CSUCI in 3 weeks and definitely think it is a great program if you do decide to go. The curriculum is different now than what my experience has been but I believe there will only be 1 session each summer as opposed to two ...

I believe the H1N1 is part of the annual flu shot and you are required to get this yearly so if you haven't already gotten this years injection then you will need to. Just to clarify, Tdap stands for Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis. I am not sure ...

Hello everyone! This is the first topic that I have started but some of you might have read a couple of my comments on other posts. I found out at the end of last month that I got accepted to a BSN program. It was my 2nd time applying and they even d...

I'd like to say that Pedi codes get easier but that would be a lie. Telling a parent "there is no more we can do for your child" is probably the hardest thing I've ever done. Talking it out with your coworkers helps and my ways of dealing with tough ...

I worked Per Diem for over 2.5 years and I was able to work steadily until I finally got a regular benefitted position. I even was able to work on a non-nursing bachelor's degree while waiting to get into nursing school. I think it all depends on how...

I think about how there is no doubt in my mind that this the career for me and that there are so many people that would want to be in my shoes right now. The application deadline is coming up for this Fall's incoming class and one of the student work...

I didn't even know that I was an alternate but I had initially been denied to the BSN program I am currently going through. I got a call a month later saying that some applicants had chosen other programs and that if I wanted a spot it was mine! I ho...

I used to volunteer for the CCE program a few years back and I remember at my particular hospital they would give out information about where one could get CPR certified. I believe our hospital only accepted American Heart Association Health Care Pro...
