I applied at a place got a interview with in a week, hiring process took 3 weeks for ALF, I also had a interview today at LTC and got the job offer on the spot start there next week. Gonna be working two jobs. I guess It just depends on where your applying, and how soon they are needing help.

Yes I understand that. I've worked in LTC and ALF as a CNA, I know LTC can be extremely overwhelming, But I was thinking more of pay wise? When I was a aide ALF paid me more, Just curious if it was the same for LPN, job offer at ALF for LPN position hasn't told me the pay yet, I guess I find that out tomorrow. Just want an Idea of what I'm getting myself into. Thank you so much for replying! =D

I'm in KS and they told me it would take 7-10 days on Sept 6th. still haven't gotten mine.

I would have to agree. When I got the call about the job offer meeting, I had already knew that I had the interview at the LTC facility and knew that the hours are the exact hours I wanted however I did not want to give the wrong impression that could affect my placement in the job offer. Like you said (TheCommunter) I might not never get the job offer at the LTC. So really it made me think and realized its just an interview there, if i got hired on spot would be amazing however I highly doubt it, I don't have that much faith in myself hahaha. But if anything I will accept the job at ALF and we'll see what happens from there. Taking it one step at a time. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for your advice!!! =D I think your right though, I gotta be realistic. I need a job like ASAP. I just hope I can get out of the job offering to be on time for the interview at the LTC!!! =P

I graduated in May and just got official license Sept 4th, I been applying everywhere since then, didn't hear anything for two weeks from anyone. And now my phone is blowing up with phone calls. Be patient, try to do something meanwhile like cleaning or something you been putting off for a while. Best Luck to you!

I had an interview at a ALF last week, today I got a phone call saying she would like to meet with me for a job offer tomorrow at 10. What do you wear to a "Job offer" would you dress like how you did for the interview? Also how long is that process? I'm in a bit of a dilemma, I also have a job interview at a LTC facility at 1pm where they have amazing hours. I would LOVE to work for both jobs but I know that's not possible because they both want a full time candidate. Plus I don't even know the pay to either one! What would you do?!?!?! This really sucks, I would hate to accept the job at the ALF then get offered a job a the LTC. someone please let me know your thoughts or any advice? Do you know pay difference in ALF vs LTC?

So I had an interview Wednesday the 9/11. Today I got a email to fill out Consumer notification said "Attached is one more form that I need to have you complete in order to process your application. " I filled it out and went to turn it in. My question is why do they need that? And what exactly are they looking for? I really need a job. I haven't worked since July. My credit score probably is BAD! Anyone ever have to this?

Texas_goodnurse For the pharm math problems the question will ask you what they are looking for like ML or MG. Then would state round to nearest whole number _____ ML. So just the number was all I had to enter. Those are how mine were but as you know everyones exams are different. I think I only had one math question on my second NCLEX, maybe 2 on my first. I know was REALLY nervous the first time. The second time ofcourse I was nervous but it wasn't as bad, I thought of it as "I know what the exam Is like, I am prepared, I can pass this, Look for the KEY words (initial, first, NOT)" My friend told me that the main key of the exam is "Not to kill the patient" hahaha I know that sounds horrible but its so true. Read the questions carefully, try not to spend tooooooo much time then you'll just think too much into it (horrible idea), Learn your differences in s/s (hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia) helped me alot! Good Luck to the Both of you. Go in Feeling confident!!! (I KNOW its hard trust me but your also not expected to be Eisenstein) Think of it as another Final. Prayers are with you both..

Hey. I took PN first time and failed, but passed my second one! haha. And hope you do too! But I read the whole Saunders book the first time, second time I kinda just reviewed some of the things I weren't too sure of. I did Exam Cram 3rd edition both times, and bought Allison NCLEX PN NOTEs. Thought it was pretty good also comes with CD. My advice is DO TONS OF QUESTIONS understand the rationale. That was my mistake the first time. I read more rather than do questions. But everyone is different. Learn your Labs, practice SATA, I learned Suffix of drugs (-pril, -ciliin, -olol) really helped me out, precautions are always huge. the first link I put it says "RN" but it still is very very helpful for PN too. Best of Luck to you. Go in feeling confident!!! and Don't get stuck on a question and think "WHat if" because there is no What ifs on NCLEX. answer is right there in front of you. Here are some links I used. http://24nurse.tumblr.com/post/35423030606/mnemonics-nclex-study-guide http://nclex.dover.edu/nclexpn3000/mainMenu.do;jsessionid=CF4CE9D7D99B10E8C89F8089E76FF6DA http://nursingmnemonics.blogspot.com/search/label/ACE%20Inhibitors http://www.practicequiz.com/result.php http://flashcards.ncsbn.org/

Don't think it's too soon. Did mine as soon as I got home 2hrs later BON posted. Congrats!

Hmm.. Maybe it'll be up today. BON posted mine within an hour after I took my exam. If you got the good pop up I think its pretty accurate.

I took mine today. However this was my 2nd attempt with NCLEX PN. The first time I maxed out at 205 and failed with "Near passing standards" in July. This time I got around 150? Did PVT trick right when I got home. Got the "Good Pop up" and BON posted minutes later. I think everyone has their own way of studying. I've read alot of people don't study the day before and just relax. However I didn't. I studied my butt off last night, and couldn't sleep, was a nervous wreck!!!!!!! How I studied: Learning the differences (ex. hypovolemia, hypervalemia), Learing suffix of Drugs, Precautions, Delegations, LAB values, Diets (Ex: celiac disease= NO Gluten) I used Exam Cram 3rd edition, Saunders 5th edition, PN Nclex notes by alllison. Here are some sites I also took my time to go through NCSBN Flashcardshttp://www.hisname.org/resources/Hints-for-Remembering-Medication-Classifications.pdf 24nurse - MNEMONICS & NCLEX STUDY GUIDE They are really helpful! But my personal advice, do a TON of practice questions. My first NCLEX I did more reading rather than questions. And go in feeling confident. Don't look into the question too much, because in the NCLEX world there is no "What if's" so immediately eliminate that out of your head if you get stuck on the question. The answer is right in front of you, you just have to put it together. and another thing.. Get off this site and get to stuyding!!! =P Also practice questions with SATA BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!!!!

I just got done with mine too!!! GOOD POP UP!!! OMG!!!!! CONGRATS LPN!

Congrats! thank you for sharing
