Hello! I am currently a nursing student in a BSN program. I still have a year left before I graduate, but I know that after I do and work for awhile, I want to go back to school for APN. I am still unsure of what sort of specialty I would want to go ...

This is something me and my classmates have been debating about so I thought I'd ask here. I know it varies with where you live and setting, but I'm just trying to get an idea. I'm going for a 4yr degree and planning on applying to hospitals. As a ne...

Got a call back from HR about a potential job in private duty nursing. Vent/Trach adults & peds. I'm a new grad with no experience in this area but they said they offer training. How much training should I expect or request as a new nurse? I'm a ...

So just to give an update: The private duty agency that I mentioned was really strange ... They kept saying that they wanted to hire me but it was impossible to schedule an in-person interview, and it was difficult for me to get my questions answere...

Hey there! I'm a new grad RN-BSN from Minnesota. Been applying to positions in my area. I have a few interviews scheduled for next week (private duty nursing & LTC). The market is kinda tough but I can't relocate until next year. I plan on takin...

thank you for your replies!

Thank you for posting this. It is encouraging to know there ARE places out there hiring new grad nurses!! Did you obtain your ND license my endorsement? If so, how long did it take and what was the cost? Does your hospital start new grads in the ER?...

also interested in information about this sorta thing. i'm a new graduate nurse with a BSN from the US, and toy with the idea of moving overseas in the future (either EU or Aussie). how long does it take to acquire a work VISA? are there areas in EU...

Hey everyone, I passed the NCLEX-RN last week and just received my license number! I am really excited and have been sending out job applications like crazy. I got a call back from a private home health care company almost immediately. As a new grad...

you think they'd throw a new grad into cases that would risk my license and the company's reputation? i'm getting so many mixed messages... i posted in the general nursing discussion about private duty nursing and ppl said to go for it as long as i g...

they're in a category under the q-bank. don't remember EXACTLY where though

Okay thank you guys. I'm a wary person by nature so I question everything. I've been reading that some receive proper, comprehensive training, but others only get an 8 hour shift with a nurse and then they're on their own I'll definitely be inquirin...

Hey everyone, so i know you all are probably REALLY tired of these posts and people asking "is this the good pop up???" when there are a million out there already with the same exact message... but my situation is a little odd and I'm not sure what t...

You guys were right :) I passed

I PASSED

thank you kjrober! and congratulations!!!!

sorry guys I am just freaking out right now lol. but thank you for your responses.

Hey everyone, so I took the NCLEX yesterday and ran out of time at about 213 questions. I did PVT after my test status read "delivery successful" and the "results are on hold" message popped up. Been trying to think of any reason why this is so... I ...

Omg i really hope so!!!!

so last night and this morning i got a pop up that stated my "results are on hold" now the message has changed to: "our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. another registration cannot be made at this time" it DOES NOT state ...

the message changed! i'm nervous that it doesn't say "please contact your BON" like everyone else's seems to, but is this otherwise a good sign? "our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. another registration cannot be made at...

If after 48 hours I still don't have my quick results avail, could I call my board of nursing and inquire about this? You are probably right about the palm scanner but I am very curious...

just finished the nclex. 213 questions and 6 hours later the computer shut off... ran outta time... bad sign?

Here are my Kaplans Scores!: Diagnostic 52 QT1 59 QT2 64 QT3 55 QT4 57 QT5 61 QT6 61 QT7 65 Readiness 58 Finished the sample tests, 76% of Qbank so far, gonna do a few more this afternoon to hit at least 80%. Then I'm taking the NCLEX tomorrow after...

Hi everyone! I just graduated from my RN-BSN program and I will be taking my boards soon. Obviously I've been thinking a lot about getting my first job. My goal is to become an ER nurse, but that takes experience. My current situation doesn't allow m...
