  1. new rn without working experience

    13grad71 replied to dont.give.up's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Start checking the career section of your area hospital's website. That will be a start. Then if you know any RN's start networking. You just got to have a thick skin (but still mindful)in this

    13grad71 replied to AG23's topic in California Nursing

  5. Resume advice needed!

    13grad71 replied to JillS91's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    13grad71 replied to IowaCNA's topic in Nursing Career

    In 2013 you got charged with marijuana and in 2014 you got an OWI which I presume is "Operating While Intoxicated". It shows a lot about your character in the eyes of the nursing program and Board of...

    13grad71 replied to shiiivers's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  9. Older CSU Student 'fitting in' on campus

    13grad71 replied to LeapBaby's topic in California Nursing

    13grad71 replied to TheAverageMan's topic in Nurse Registration

  14. A newly graduate nurse' questions for the California NCLEX

    13grad71 replied to ftisland's topic in Nurse Registration

    Why not try to apply to California first. Why make the assumption you will be denied. You said your classes/clinical are concurrent, so I'd give it a try first and see what they say. The fee is only...

  15. need HELP with Nursing Career

    13grad71 replied to frustratedBSN's topic in Nurse Registration

    Please do not think the LVN exam is a consolation price for failing the NCLEX RN. The NCLEX PN exam requires you to think like an LVN and not like an RN. So beware and study up. Steppybay is correct...

  18. Take a refresher course? Practice as an intern? Review for inclex? What to do first!!

    13grad71 replied to Kbonus08's topic in Nurse Registration

    True but they are US educated and are trained locally. Calling it a 2 year degree Associate program is a misnomer. You don't get into college and in 2 years get a Associate nursing degree. Normally it...

    13grad71 replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pearsonvue just made the trick harder. If you failed they will charge you the $200 and you will be forced to retake it. It's a a revenue stream for them. If you passed no harm done as the pop up goes...
