To explain further, I feel like it would hurt me more, because the hospital did not have a good reputation and the experience in LTAC does not count as hospital experience if I were to apply for a magnet hospital in 2 years. PRN positions also do not...

Hi! I am currently a new grad RN residing in Houston, TX. Graduated in August, and received my license this month. I have been applying to numerous new grad positions and RN positions such as at HCA hospitals and Memorial Hermann, but have not had mu...

That is not an option at the moment. I am hopeful that I will hear back from St. Luke's residency and positions I applied to that said they would consider graduates.

I have my BSN and RN, but not much luck yet .

Thank you! I am still pursuing. Have had an offer from a LTC facility but I do not think I will be taking it.

I am also in the same boat. I am a new grad RN who graduated in August who is searching for a job, but I do not want to settle for long term care or positions that are part time. Good luck to you!!

I am in the same boat as you! Currently trying to find positions as a new grad RN. I just filled a bunch of applications for HCA and memorial hermann hospitals. Hoping to hear back. I have not had any luck yet. Good luck to you!

Congrats!

Hi! Wishing you luck as you study for the NCLEX! I found Saunders, UWorld, and Hurst Review to be helpful when I studied. While Saunders' questions were not as difficult, they have a vast question bank and allow you to study test strategies. When u...

Stay on top of your work, because it can easily pile up. Getting burnt out from studying, clinicals, and other school-related things can occur, so be sure you can keep a good balance between schoolwork and time away from schoolwork. Good luck!

Have you tried a live review such as Kaplan or Hurst? I would recommend first figuring out what study techniques work best for you and also consistently practicing NCLEX-style questions as well as test-taking strategies. I recommend UWorld or Kaplan....

Good luck! I have heard of people passing at 76. If your test goes beyond 75, it just means you were still in the game and that the computer was not able to make a decision about your test yet. I had the same anxiety in the 48 hours waiting for quick...

For my NCLEX prep (I just passed it in a few weeks ago), I used attended a live review from Hurst and used their videos and extra material that comes with it. It is a 3 day review (8am-4pm I think). A little costly but they have a refund guarantee if...

Wishing you all the good luck!

Hi, I'm applying for TX A&M HSC-CON's Fall 2013 semester. Their deadline is Feb 1, and I have submitted everything I needed to (apart from the Supplemental Application that they're going to send me via email). My main dilemma is anxiety about ge...

Good luck, y'all! I've been told that letters and announcements are sent out in April. Super anxious about it as well! Congrats to all who have been accepted!! Does anyone know how long it takes to get all the other credentials (for if you are admitt...

Also, science courses in the summer are very time-consuming. I took Chem I and its lab last summer and for the whole month I was in it, my life revolved around studying for that class. I definitely could not have taken it with another summer class, b...

I finally got a Supplemental Application to one of my schools! One step closer! I've been kept busy with school and extracurricular things. Hope you all are doing well!

I'm in the same boat as you! I applied around the same time and cannot wait to receive notice from them! Good luck to all!

A lot of the time it's because they don't update your application statuses even if they have already received it. It may be there but they just haven't updated your application status. During the holidays, I sent over my transcript and even though it...

Hi, Has anyone ever had any complications with the electronic reference part of the NursingCAS application? Strangely, my reference says that they have not yet received an email from them about it and I sent it off electronically last week, Jan 19th...

It is a bit of a hassle. So many steps to get into nursing school. It takes quite a bit of time between them actually receiving your material and having it updated on your application. Like I sent my transcripts and stuff over the winter break where...

Same!! 3 schools.

Hi all, So I'm planning to apply to HBU's nursing school, but before I can apply I have to pass this Computer Proficiency Test that deals with Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Has anyone ever taken this kind of exam? I'm not really sure how or w...

Hope we both do well!
