I graduated a year ago from an ADN program in California. It took about 6 months, but I got a new grad position in an ER, in North Carolina. It's certainly challenging starting in the ER, but it's right where I want to be. I also work with great nurses who help me out. It's not a trauma center, but it is a busy hospital. There are several nurses I work with who also started out as new grads in this ER, and they say it takes a year or two to get settled in. Some days I feel good about my nursing performance, and other days I feel overwhelmed (especially with higher acuity pts). But it's a great experience!!

Thanks for the input. I'm guessing if that there is a computer generated score that automatically moves you forward or not. I wasn't prepared to take the test. It was my first ever nursing job application. Hoping I'll do better next time.

I am a recent graduated registered nurse. I applied to a new grad program that I really was hoping to get an interview for. I received an email to take an exam that would "help determine employment". It had some general nursing questions and personality questions that were to be answered on a scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree. I took the test and immediately my application status went to "no longer a consideration". Does anyone have any advice on how to take these exams?
