So this morning I had a panel interview with a group of nurse managers for a nurse residency program. I am thinking about sending a thank you note. I know there are several posts about this on AN, and from what I have read either e-mail or handwritte...

No. Since I didn't get all of the managers (the panel) contact information, I just sent the thank you email and mailed the card to the program coordinator. In the letter, I thanked everyone.

I realize this post is old, but for anyone else wondering: SLUH has a residency program for newly graduated nurses (BSN) called the Versant Program. There are details on their website.

Also watch your headings. Look at how I worded them and at how you worded them.

Use this to work on your resume: Career Center Online Resources | School of Nursing at Johns Hopkins University Remember to keep it concise and only add information that pertains to nursing (including education). Hope I was able to help!

I took the NCLEX on March 4th and got the good pop-up. Today I paid for quick results and found out that I passed. I also got the NCSBN Candidate Report in the mail stating that I successfully passed. Right now, I'm just waiting for my license #. (It...

So fortunately, I got a job offer in a nurse residency program. I graduated last May and just passed the NCLEX for the first time this month. After graduation I was stuck overseas for a few months. Anyway, I am so thankful that I got the job because...

My due date is April 1st. I graduated with my BSN in May 2012. I moved overseas for a few months and just got back. I'm currently studying for the NCLEX and plan to take it early March. I applied for a New Grad Position at a hospital. They are acce...

There's a Saunders book that just has test questions without content. But, I used the book that reviews nursing content and after each chapter is a practice test. I recommend doing the practice tests before reading the chapter to determine how much y...

mclennan: Thanks for your response. I really do appreciate it when I ask questions and the community here on AN responds. However, when I asked this question, I only got one response (in time). I also spoke with someone who told me to just do both i...

I'm going to do both.

Well, I just go back from the interview. I was SO nervous & couldn't think straight (think deer in headlights). I found out that it doesn't technically start until sometime in May. I am praying that they call me back. I hope they over look how n...

Well, I just got back from my interview. I was so nervous. I'm hoping I didn't screw it up. Anyway, I Put: Registered Nurse, State of Missouri: pending license number: effective (date). And guess what? When I got back from my interview, I found my...

So I took the NCLEX a few days ago for the first time and thankfully passed! I checked Quick Results and received my NCSBN Candidate Report in the mail stating that I successfully passed. However, the report state that my license might take a few wee...

This is where I have been checking: https://renew.pr.mo.gov/licensee-search.asp

Really? I was just following the resume guide & samples on John Hopkin's website.

If I don't get my license # before the interview, I'm just going to write: Registered Nurse, State of Missouri: effective (date) & I'm going to make copies of my report to take with me. Hopefully all goes well. Wish me luck everyone! :)

I'm surprised because everyone seems to get their license # right away. I checked on my state's BON website and my name is still not listed. The candidate report that I got in the mail stated that I passed and I should expect to wait a few weeks for ...

emerjensee: Thanks for your response. I understand what you mean but you don't know a quarter of my story. I am more than capable of meeting the demands of having a family life and a career. Best wishes.

You can still practice more questions from PDA this week. I found it helpful for prioritization and SATA type questions. I had a lot of prioritization and SATA questions on the NCLEX (I took it March 4th & got the good pop up). I also had a few a...

I thought the wording for NCSBN questions was similar to NCLEX.

Check out PDA by LaCharity for prioritization and SATA. Also use the True/False strategy for SATA.

I took the NCLEX on the 4th and got the good pop-up. I'm waiting for my state's BON to post my license. I'm also wondering how long it will take.

Everyone's NCLEX experience and exam is different. Although you state that the resources you used didn't help you, they have helped other people. I do agree that the NCLEX is random, but it's not just "guessing" the right answer. If you know your co...
