I’m just in the WHNP program and joined the FNP group on facebook. There’s a few other WHNPs in there, but I definitely think we should start our own group. Do we know how many students total are in the program? And no I haven’t registered for classes yet, I’m sure they will email us when it’s time.

I just got my preliminary acceptance into the WHNP program! Is there a facebook group for those of us in this program? So excited to start and get to know everyone.

Thank you, hope to meet you too!

Congrats! I just got an invitation for an interview today! What was it like? I’m nervous and excited at the same time.

It’s a comprehensive exam at the end of the program that you must pass in order to complete the program and go on to take the nclex. You get 4 chances to take it.

It's very easy to understand what you were saying so the above commenter just wanted to be a smart aleck. I've never worked in a hospital so I can't relate to the experience you've had with your coworkers. But my best advice is to try a new work environment, you don't have to stay somewhere where you're not comfortable. The great thing about nursing is that there are so many different work options. Good luck!

You definitely need to get Uworld, everyone I know who has used it was successful. Good luck!

That is exactly what the interviewer said! That nursing is a small world so she appreciated my honesty. Anyway I was hired at another nursing home, so I'm excited to finally start working as an RN!

So how do you suggest I answer that question?

As most of you know, it's super hard for a new grad RN to get a hospital job. So as a result I've been interviewing at nursing homes just to get my foot in the door anywhere I can. Well I had an interview today and the interviewer loved me and said I interviewed well and was very pleasant. But then she goes "if I hire you and a hospital calls you in 2 weeks, are you leaving me?". I wanted to die because I knew the answer I gave would mess it up for me but I wanted to be honest so I said yes. So of course she didn't want to hire me (makes sense) but she said I should just wait it out a little longer because a hospital would be lucky to have me. But what if a hospital doesn't hire me for another 5 months??? Were any of you guys asked this question? How did you respond? Job hunting is beyond frustrating

SATA are definitely hard. My problem used to be that I kept thinking that there should be at least 3 or 4 correct answers and I would pick an extra option just because it seemed like the right thing to do. I got better when I started picking answers that I was positive was true, so sometimes that might only be 2/5 of the statements. Also, it's a good idea to read each option like a true or false statement. If anything about the statement is wrong or makes you question it even a little bit then it's probably not the right answer. Good luck to you!!

Did you get/take the job? I interviewed at a fertility clinic today and I really hope I get it! It's an area of nursing I'm really interested in!

I know this thread is a little old, but did you end up taking the job? I would love to hear how it's going for you. I interviewed at a fertility clinic today and I'm really interested in it!

I know this is an old thread but I just interviewed at a fertility clinic and I would really love to get it! What was the hiring process for you? Did you hear back right away? How are you liking it?

I had a phone interview this morning for a clinic in NYC and soon after they contacted me about scheduling an in person interview for tomorrow. I just wanted to hear from people who had a phone interview first and a 2nd in person interview. What happens at the live interview? I was already asked a few questions during the phone interview so I'm curious to know what's next. I'm super excited because this position would be in a field that I'm passionate about, women's health. So I really hope all goes well and I get it! Any advice is welcome

I did questions all day using Saunders online

Yeah I think that I'm going to end up getting a nursing home job for now because I need to make money, and I'll continue to look for a hospital job

Uworld for sure!

I've only been job hunting for a week and I'm already frustrated so I can imagine how you feel after 3 months. I've only been called from agencies that want me to work in nursing homes. I'm probably going to end up taking a nursing home position and continue to look for a hospital job. I need to make money in the meantime so sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do!

Your quick results should be available in the next hour or so, so just wait it out. I hope you passed!

Ok that's not much time so don't overwhelm yourself and cram but I say go read the rationales of the questions you've already done, focusing more on the ones you got wrong. Take your time on Tuesday, breathe and remember that you got through nursing school so you can do this too. Good luck to you!

When are you scheduled to take your exam? Hopefully you have at least a couple weeks to go over what you had trouble with. If it says borderline then you need more practice because the nclex is very similar to Uworld. Just work on reading all the rationales and you'll be fine

I know this thread is old but for those of you who were able to get an interview at South Nassau, did you apply online or in person? How long did it take to hear from them after applying?

Congrats!!
