   And I haven't yet found ANY places close by that I can walk in and talk to a human. Well, except I did find a nursing home today in my local city that said to bring the resume in person. I'm going there tomorrow.

   I'm in Colorado and have started to apply in California after seeing how many places are hiring. I could get a CA license by endorsement. Are they even hiring new grads with no paid experience? I have some really great experience after doing 9 mos in...

   I am serious in that many of those I went to nursing school with got interviews and got hired with less than 10 applications submitted. So actually your example is encouraging in a perverse way! I am starting to look out of my local area and take som...

   I graduated a few months back, passed NCLex last month on my first try, had good grades and excellent references but little job history as I was a stay at home mom for most of my adult life. I've now put in 29 applications and haven't even gotten a c...

   I passed!! At least I'm pretty sure I did. The PVT wouldn't let me reregister. The test shut off at 75 (after 3 hours!!) and the questions were REALLY hard. The first two were standard multiple choice but I must have got them right cause the next one...

    But you still passed after getting no sleep?? Woot woot!! Good for you! I actually couldn't sleep at all last night from nerves so we'll see, maybe I will get all this out of my system by tomorrow night and be ready for a good nights rest? I can hope...

    thanks ladies.. I'm trying to just take a step back and not let the nerves overwhelm like they were yesterday. I've studied hard and got through nursing school for heavens sake!

    I felt pretty confident up until today. I've been crying off and on. What the heck?? Maybe it's just nerves. I went to the gym and that helped and have been able to focus a little more. Still reviewing meds and trying to memorize the last few labs th...
