  1. Exactly almost a month ago, I went on an interview for my dream job. (link to that thread: https://allnurses.com/nursing-first-job/looking-need-some-961784.html) It was at a pretty well-known company...
  2. Ohhh, that's exciting!! Good luck
  3. That seems to be about the rate that this is going. I wish I had your patience! I'm glad it worked out for you in the end though. Gives me hope! - Haha, I had a moment in which I felt like a 6 year...
  4. That's exactly what I'm afraid of as well! I mean I know nurses have a hot/cold relationship with HR departments in general. I figured if I was efficient, and got everything done in a organized and...
  5. Wow, four months! I would have been a walking anxiety attack lol. I always try and get stuff done because I never want to "waste anyone's time" (not that I'm perfect by any means though) and I guess I...
  6. " I get a sense between the two threads you have a tendency to overthink things, and that can be exhausting and frustrating! :) " Yes, definitely! That's why I've waited days and days to contact them....
  7. Hate Medical Nursing! I want Psych!

    I can't give you the "right" answer, only you yourself can decide that. Your predicament was the exact opposite of how I was feeling, but I understand where you're coming from. I'm a new nurse, but...
  8. - I graduated school at the very end of July, and took and passed my NCLEX (PN) in the beginning of September. I have sent out about (at least, probably more) about 50 resumes/filled out applications....
  9. So you didn't get hired even after the interview went well and they wanted to hire you etc? Honestly that really stinks! Plenty of people get hired for positions that they don't exactly "meet every...
  10. Thanks, venting on here to you guys really helps ease my anxiety. I keep re-reading everything whenever, I start thinking too much about it. Random question though- Can they complete a background...
  11. contact, droplet, airborne oh my!

    Contact Precautions Before entering: Wash hands THEN don gloves 1st and gown 2nd. Pt. gets private room. Upon leaving: Remove gloves 1st and then gown. Gown worn during transport. Examples: MRSA, RSV...
  12. NCLEX

    There's no "magic" study book/guide for the NCLEX. If you peruse around All Nurses you will see equal arguments and recommendations for all of them (even for some you've never even heard of.) I would...
  13. Testing

    A month is a good amount of time. I took (and passed my nclex) about a month and 10 days after I had graduated. Make yourself a study schedule and don't go crazy with too many study books, especially...
  14. Passed with Few Sata

    When I took the nclex (back in September.) I hardly had any SATA (maybe 10, possibly 15 but that's pushing it.) My classmates kept saying that they had "tons" and "tons" and it was making me really...
  15. Unfortunately I still haven't heard back from them (it will be a week since my interview on Wed.) I was thinking about sending an e-mail to the person I interviewed with thanking them for meeting with...

  18. Just found out about an hour ago that I passed the NCLEX (PN). I took it on September 10th 2014 at approx 1:15 pm. I'll get to everything you really want to know (but first let me tell you my...
  19. *aren't any SATA, *Brush up
  20. Thanks Everyone! I really appreciate it. I kept reading what a few members of my graduating class was saying about how their interviews went, and how long after they were hired (a couple on the spot)...
  21. Thank you!! I definitely should have thought about all of this before I worried myself silly. I never even took into account that they had to verify my license ( I scanned copies etc) I guess I...
  22. Yeah, that would make sense. I just hate not being able to make heads or tails of the situation "officially". I can't believe I didn't ask some of the "little" questions either, I feel like such an...
  23. - First, breath & relax about the ATI PN exit exam. It's easier than the NCLEX because they're aren't (at least when I took it in July) at SATA questions, it was all multiple choice. Make sure you...
  24. allnurses Ebola Preparedness Survey Makes the News.

    Please don't forget to add LPN into that. I tried defending nurses & advocating for more education in comments on boards (CNN, huffington post etc) and I was told to "Shut up because I'm only a...
