I have tried to send email to the manager but no luck so far. The education department provided me with information to who to contact.

Hello. I'm currently a MSN - Informatics student at Chamberlain College/University. I am in need of trying to find a clinical site/mentor for my practicum. I am trying to do Orlando Health since I work as a nurse there and they are affiliated with Chamberlain. Anyone have any recommendations for practicum? My clinical coordinator at Chamberlian has not responded to me and I have emailed twice already. Much appreciated.

I'm interested also. I need ideas for my concept paper in nursing theory. Thank you.

I am interested in the feedback as well. thanks

I felt the same when I failed back in October 2014 and finally passed January 2015. I felt lost and didn't know where to go. Holidays were coming up and I lacked motivation. I ended up doing Kaplan class to get motivation and direct me the right way , as in figuring out what I was doing wrong. I felt like I didn't know how to answer NCLEX questions. You have to find what went wrong to fix it to boost your confidence up. At least, that's what I did.

So did you pass? Haha

I feel the same way when some people throw their cig butts out of their car window thinking Earth is their personal ash tray. I feel that it's wrong but others do not. Just sayin'

I feel that this thread was created just to fire people up on a sensitive topic like are you pro-life or pro-choice type of topic.

Future congrats!!! I wish you the best ☺️

Congrats! Doesn't it feel awesome to finally pass that horrible exam?!?! I wish you the best. ☺️

For me, I felt that I couldn't tackle the questions so I picked the Kaplan anywhere class and did that online. I feel that it helped me understand how to answer the questions better. Don't get me wrong though, I still left the testing center feeling like "*** was that". I did feel better than my first attempt. I passed. From what I have seen, take the Kaplan class if you need help with questions. Take the hurst if it's content focus you need. Also, keep keep saying ncsbn and Kaplan are close to nclex type questions. After I failed, I took a month or two off (mainly because of the holidays came around). After that, I took Kaplan and did 150 questions a day and read the rationales. I kept doing that until the day before the exam. Good luck

I would recommend KAPLAN if you want to get a better understanding on how to tackle questions.

Congrats! I believe I took 2 breaks during the 3hrs I was there. After I took Kaplan, my exam shut off after 149 (2nd attempt). I used 3 white boards and I passed. Good luck

Congrats and good luck on the job hunt! I had 4 interviews last week and received 3 offers. :)

I'm not really sure that Orlando Health is actively doing their residency program but I just got hired there. I know Florida hospital is active with theirs.

Are you speaking about a residency program?

Yeah, you just pick the state that you want. You can also take the exam anywhere nationwide. For example, I took my NCLEX in Iowa but picked FL as my state. Good luck :)

To update, I sent 50+ applications I had 2 phone interviews I also had 4 physical interviews (this week that is passing). I received 3 offers.

Anyone know what the starting rate is now for Orlando Health for new grads?

I felt my chest pounding after the screen changed to the survey about Pearson. I thought I was going to go all the way to 265 again. At first, I felt like I did better than last time but after awhile, I started worrying. I did the PVT and received the good pop up but I was still worried until I received the PASS.

In my situation, I went to school in IL and applied for the state of FL as my designated state. Apparently, some units overlooked my resume because I had an out of state address. I was lucky to have 2 units call and ask when I would get to FL. After I arrived to FL and changed my address, a couple of floors have called for interviews. You can pick your designation but it might be difficult to find a job if you are not local. Also, with no support could make things stressful on you as well. I wish you luck. Why do you want to leave FL?

I have probably sent out like 30+ resumes and had 2 phone interviews and next week, I have 3 physical interviews

If you plan on going into an RN program, it would be a good idea to have a stethoscope. I kept mine when I did Emt and then went into RN. Mine was $100 (Lithmann Classic II breast cancer awareness edition). It's great!

During my last summer semester before I graduated, we took it twice. I believe that I received a score in the 70ish% of passing NCLEX. The second time, I received a 91% on the comp predictor. My 3rd attempt, I took the virtual comp predictor, I received a 96%. I feel that their assessments were easier than their comp predictor. You just have to keep trying. I wish you luck

Congrats!
