I did it! I finished nursing school this past Dec. and passed the dreaded NCLEX-RN on Feb. 20th but I just don't understand; where are all the jobs?! I live in South Florida, West Palm Beach to be exact, and every hospital in my area has positions po...

I'm a new grad, recently licensed, and I've been applying like crazy. Some of the hospitals in the area have multiple positions available and wanted to know...Is it too much to apply to more than 1 position in the same facility? I want HR to know tha...

Thank you!! I've been applying like crazy. Now I apply to multiple positions.

Thank you! I didn't want it to seem like I was undecided or desperate...which i am. Lol!

Good Luck!! I studied content & then did nothing but questions; to the point I wanted to cry. They main thing that helped me was "make sure you read the question" When you go take the test your nerves and anxiety are going to be on overdrive but ...

I passed my NCLEX on Feb. 20th and I still haven't been able to secure a job, much less an interview. It's frustrating but what I've been told is don't limit yourself to just hospitals/acute care facilities. As a new grad a hospital job is like the H...

I know I'm brand new. It just disheartening because as you go through school all they really talk about is acute care settings. Then when it comes down to real life the job outlook completely different. Friday was my first day checking out rehab fac...

I'm basically in the same boat. Good luck in finding something soon.

I've already enrolled in the BSN program and begin in Spring. I graduated from Keiser U.

I passed!!:) I'm still in shock & can't believe that I can finally call myself a nurse. I took my test on Feb. 20th and once I finished I started hysterically crying in my car. I left that test completely convinced that I failed. I drove home in ...

Thank you both!!

I used that book briefly. I found it 2 weeks before I was to take my test so I really didn't have time to take advantage of all the questions. I really used it only for the 4 comp test in the back which helped a bunch. Depending on how much time you ...

So after all my blood, sweat, and tears I'm done with nursing school! I never thought I would see the end but I can honestly say it went by much fast than expected. Now comes the hard part, the NCLEX. I just scheduled my test for next month. My anxi...

Congrats on passing!!!

Thank you all so much. I'm so stressed. At the moment I'm reviewing content to make sure I have it all down. It's just so overwhelming.

I'm in my final semester of nursing school and its preceptorship time. I've had my heart set on peds but due to a few issues with the site I picked my instructor place my on a NICU floor. Not what I was expecting. During my maternity rotation I shad...

Thank you. My first day is Monday the 28th. I met my preceptor and she seems really nice. I'll definitely make the most out of each day and look forward to learning new things.

Test review is at the discretion of the instructor but all of our teachers review the exam questions with us. Some do it the same day as the exam was taken and other will wait until the next class meeting. You are right in the fact that the review i...

Hello all, It's been a while since I last posted anything due to the high demand of nursing school but the time has come; preceptorship time. I'm in my final semester and ready to pull those long 12-hour shifts we're all waiting for, but of course, ...

Thank you. If I can get it down with a newborn then peds should be a breeze. :) I guess I'm just worried about doing 12 hours of just observation, which was the case when I did my maternity rotation on that floor last year. The nurses did not want me...

Sorry it took so long to reply. If no HCA or Tenet, where should I go? At the moment, moving is not an option.

I still can't believe it, I'm almost done!! I graduate in December and we've been told it's about time to start looking for our practicum site. From what the majority of the other cohorts before me have said, you usually get hired from the site you c...

I still can't believe it, I'm almost done!! I graduate in December and we've been told it's about time to start looking for our precepting site. From what the majority of the other cohorts before me have said, you usually get hired from the site you ...

It's happened with another student from a previous cohort at my school. She did her practicum at a local hospital on a peds floor and they hired her after she passed her boards. Thanks for the advice though, I have no problem working on a med/surg fl...

The nurse that you're paired up with during your clinical rotations can make or break your love of a certain field. I fully understand that you (RN) has been at the hospital since 6:45am, or earlier, have 6+ patients who don't all understand that you...
