Hello, I graduated nursing school in 2012 with my BSN. I have been reading allnurses.com for a year now and I said that when I passed my NCLEX I promised that I would post my story. I seriously have so many people to thank for emotional support inclu...

Congratulations!

I believe that if you are doing everything that you are doing then maybe the right position for you hasn't been available. I believe that in time, it will happen! Keep contacting the recruiters but give yourself two week breaks in between leaving mes...

Hi, It is definitely hard to get past the computer application BUT you should call and talk to the recruiters of the hospital! First apply online to all the jobs that you are interested in. Then do not wait around for them to call you. Call them! If ...

No matter what school you go to, make sure to do an internship or externship! I did this plus worked as a nurse tech and this made me stand out as an applicant. I know other nurses who did this and were able to get employment quickly after school! Go...

Honestly, there is always a risk with newly accredited places. When I was interviewing for jobs, I asked the hiring manager why they had openings on their unit. The person told me that they had to let go of two of their nurses. The two nurse's had wo...

I started nursing school when I was 18 and I graduated with my BSN when I was 22. Although I do not have any children, I had colleagues who were married and had children. You are never to old to start after your dreams! If you want to be a nurse, you...

Good luck!

A555, I kept a list of my scores from Saunders CD rom practice tests and Kaplan qbanks questions. I constantly kept track of strengths and weaknesses and renumbered them. As I was studying, I kinda knew what stuff I was missing or skipping over. It...

Hi everyone! I love being a nurse! However, I am that nurse who did not dream of becoming a nurse as a child. Even when I worked in the nursing home (a job that I loved), I swore that I would never be a nurse! It was not until I was older in college...

Thank you to everyone who posted! Thank you for sharing your stories! :)

Good luck anneontherocks! If you were near passing, you were so close! Good luck! Stay focused! I wish you the best!

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations!!!

Hi mnh03! Where to start studying? That is a really good and hard question to answer. I would say first make two list that prioritizes your weakness to strengths. Put in order these.... 1. Psych 2. Adult/geriatric Medical Surgery 3. Pediatric Medica...

If they are not a nurse or did not go through nursing school, they don't know what they are talking about. It is their best way to be able to relate to you. I cannot tell you how many times family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers have given me ...

If your weak in content, do Saunders CD rom 4000 questions first. Then do Kaplan. Kaplan is great once you are content strong. Kaplan has about 1200 questions. I also found Mosby flashcards a good supplement for questions. Practice as many questions ...

Congratulations!!!!!

I just took my NCLEX this summer (2013) and this is a good post on this topic. You have to make sure to tell them that you have a cellphone and they did put mine in a plastic bag that I signed before my test and after my test. Make sure you turn you...

Thank you so much for the comments of support! Kyliez,I know exactly how you felt. I was so burnt out after my second test. I didn't know how long I needed a break. It just happened to be one month. I just woke up one day and said "I am ready to try ...
