I am in the same boat, however I have a few experiences. Can you look into volunteering opportunity to gain experience. Once you get that keep contacting recruiters until you find those who are willing to give you a chance.

I got Kaplan live classroom discounted through my school. I really loved it because they teach you strategies on how to answer NCLEX questions. Then they give you a e-book to study content and they have content videos that has expert nurses going o...

Thanks everyone. I have been asking around. I also do not mind being hired with a good orientation program. My BSN program gave me 180 hours of preceptorship.

Thanks everyone for the inputs. I contacted the BON and I was told my license is active until 2016. If i do not find a job until it expires, I will have to attend a refresher course approved by the BON. That would be few months before it expires.

Thanks. I have already looked at the Board of nursing website . I can only take a refresher course which is approved by them which is listed on the website. I still want to talk to a BON representative to speak about how I can always keep my...

I will ask my board of nursing how I can keep my license. In the meantime I wanted to know is it the one given at community colleges for inactive nurses?

I suspected thanks

What is CEU?

Thanks I feel such relief knowing I can keep my license which I worked so hard to obtain. I have tried long term care as well with no luck most require 1 year experience. I hope I will have better luck out of state.

Thanks everyone. I was thinking of moving to my friend's home. Then after I settle in that state I was going to apply. I did not know I can apply from where I am.

Congratulations. I am a struggling nursing graduate with no nursing related experience who has been out of school for almost 2 years. I really appreciate it if you can create a new thread on how to write a resume or if you have threads you sugge...

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate your comment. I will try to apply from my state and see how it goes. I did not mean lie about my resume. What I meant was should I move to my friend's house until I get my own place in that state. My licen...

i failed the first time with 265 questions. The second time I passed with 75. I believe your Kaplan scores are good. Make sure you read all the rationales to see how the right answer came to be. Strengthen your content by reading the entire K...

Thank you. I just found out that a local community college offers a refresher course. I am going to take it. Hopefully I will qualify for private loans because I have no money.

I am a new graduate nurse I just passed NCLEX-RN a week ago. I am a shy person who is very soft spoken. I am very caring person. However I found that being soft spoken to be a disadvantage. I also suffer from low self esteem as a result of my sof...

I think your hospital volunteer work is a great experience.
