Hi, I was able to get an interview at a small county hospital for an L&D unit. I also have 2 other interviews for new grad position in med-surg units. I love L&D and it's definitely what I want to do...but just curious to know if anyone ever...

Honestly, I felt very prepared going into my test! I studied for hours beforehand! I had three different resources (Saunders and Lacharity)...and was backed up by Kaplan's FIRST TIME guarantee! I got no med calculations, 4 SATAs, a whole bunch of inf...

Ahhhh....the 265 mystery! I really don't know why there's this misconception about getting all 265! Well, just like everyone else, I believed that if I got 265, I failed. Sure enough, on my test day, I got all 265!! 6 agonizing days later....i pass...

Thank you everyone for your input! I have decided to take the L&D position! Although, the pay is less, it is what I really want to do! I am in the process of taking a basic fetal monitoring class and getting my NRP certification now! I eventually...

congratulations!!!!!!!!!! :yeah::yeah:

nancy, i took mine on the 31st....don't give up hope!! maybe your file is not complete yet...or maybe they haven't seen your test results! either way, keep your faith up!!!

Wow....i'm so surprised. Well, come to think of it....yes, it is the Philippines and most often...jobs are given to those who know a person in the inside. However, it doesn't take away the fact that...that sucks! Oh well....things happen for a reaso...

Have faith and be positive!! I know its sooooo hard to be positive when the other side of you is screaming failure....but you're not! you've gotten this far....you're going all the way!! hope everything works out! breath, relax, and clear your mind b...

I used the complete Kaplan course. Completed 100% of my qbank and all my qtrainers. Utilized all of Kaplan's video content review and question review. Lacharity's Prioritization, delegation and Assignment. Saunders 4th edition. NCLEX 3500 and a bit o...

Congratulations!!!!! What a great holiday gift!!!

Don't focus on the number of questions...focus on the question itself! Eliminate two of the bogus answers and make sure you ask why each answer would be plausible.. i totally agree....expect all 265...because i expected 75, I started to panic and hyp...

The questions on the nclex were very much like Kaplan...the review questions I received on medspub and nclex3500 seemed a little more complex than the ones I received! The content review was good either way though!

Congratulations!!!:balloons:

Ahhh...i am totally with you guys!! Just found out this morning at 7am that I passed!!! I took mine on the 31st....and found my name on the website today, the 6th!:wink2:

It took 4 days for my name to show up on the CA BRN website. I was seriously convinced that I failed!! Took it on Wednesday, found out today, Tuesday morning, that I passed!

I took the RN exam and got a bunch of priority questions...it seemed like all i was doing triage through my test! It made me nervous though when they threw me an recall question....but be positive!! I got all 265 and passed! :heartbeat

From what I remember, 60-65 is borderline range! Anything below 60 is non-passing and anything above 65 is passing range! I got a 64% on my Readiness Test!

I never thought I'd go all the way through... I totally thought I was prepared to take it and was expecting it to end at 75!! I did all the 16 chapters of the Prioritization, Delegation, and Assigment book (Lacharity) 100% of my Qbank with an average...

Hi! I got my ATT and scheduled it for the new years eve!! Was it dumb of me to do this?? I just thought that way I wouldn't have to think bout it while out on nye! and i graduated in october...so i didnt wanna wait any longer or drag it out to the ne...

I am a new grad and looking around for a new grad position. A hospital nearby has two different units for Tele and Cardiovascular. What is the difference between the two?

what are you doing to prepare for nclex? self study or review course? also, when did you apply for your licensure? have you received your att? how long is the processing from the time you sent your application to receiving the att? i am currently ta...

How long does it usually take for someone to contact you for an interview??

I just finished my BSN program last week! I haven't taken my boards yet...but definitely preparing!! Our program was the same...most of our time was spent in Med Surg. I did an accelerated program...so they wanted to make sure we got enough clinical...

I'm north of LA...and a couple of the hospitals in my area are not hiring nurses due to their low census too.... I'm a new grad....and completely scared of not finding a job! :icon_roll

Sorry late response... yes, i did interview for UCLA's Peds/PICU unit late september. Got the phone call last week saying they didn't think my clinical skills were going to be enough to handle the acuity of their patients. Sad...but not really...it w...
