reading this just somehow encourages me. I am a new grad with very limited experience on psych. I am on my 3rd day of my orientation at the psych unit. It is very overwhelming especially i am not really into psychiatry. Aside from that i just came from another country so being so new to the american culture and system adds up to the stress.

Hi, i got a job too in Maryland as a new grad nurse for psych department. I am not really into psych but i still accepted it because i am in need of a job. I enjoy reading and watching psych issues but i dont really know about being on the actual unit. I am still very new to the american system, since i've been only here in US for a couple of months. Im really scared. This would be actually my first job as a nurse since graduating 2 years ago. It feels like i dont know anything. My mind gets blank. I am not a talkative person and im not really good at talking to somebody i dont know. I accepted the offer because, aside from needing a job, i'm trying to deal with my weaknesses, i also listened to others' opinion saying that i might eventually like it. I dont know if i have answered you, but i just like to share my opinion.

Wow. Ok. Thanks. :)

Hi there, i've recently passed the nclex RN, im a foreign graduate. I've graduated 2 years ago. I've just arrived here in US so i'm still on the process of adjusting to the culture. For the past two years back home, i've have only attended cpr certifications, busied my self with the paper works from the immigration and reviewed for the nclex. I've never had the chance to work or have a training at a hospital. So now, i'm trying to look for jobs. I've already attended a cpr class at a community hospital here because they said they wont credit my cpr training from my home country. The very big problem i have is i dont know what to put in my resume according to american standards. Any help? thanks.

Good luck. :)

Thanks.

Yep. I thought i was going to fail because most people said they had a lot of satas

Yes. I was really luck. 6 satas, 1 very easy drug calculatiom, 1 picture of an obvious lesion and the rest were prioritization. Thanks

Thanks. Yes, i had it evaluated through cgfns. I'll try maternity, i've heard most new grads go to maternity

From my experience, the alternative formats were almost similar to nclex 3500

I am a bsn graduate, yes i passed nclex rn. I have bls and acls but had it in my home country, im not sure if they'll consider it. I just took those certifications programs last year before i migrated here in US.

I had about 6 only

Is that a staffing agency? I prefer direct hiring.if possible but it's hars to look for openings. Nyway, thanks :)

I graduated from the phil. Too last 2011. Just be very diligent in answering questions and make sure to read the rationales
