I put an application in there Thursday thanks :) my friend works there

Thank you for the tip. I didn't think of it that way.

Thanks! Although I don't think I wanna be in that busy of a city. I get panic attacks just being in philly lol!

I hate the hot!! Haha I'll go farrrr north before I go south bleh lol. Thanks though!! My aunt wanted me to come down there too.

I used an app called NCLEX mastery.. Honestly I'm a horrible studier, I was that way all through school. So my "studying" was a few day before the exam doing practice questions :/ but that app is created by nurses that really care, if you email them they get right back to you. It has flash cards, questions, neumonics, and strategies. I highly recomend!

I'm willing to relocate too. I've been looking at VA postings because my license will work anywhere in them. Cross country, another country would be awesome! No kids or husband? Out of NJ!! Haha

Thanks @tiprizzo :)

SO, I graduated from a very well known and elite ADN program in my area back in may 2013. I'm in my BSN program now. I took my NCLEX the first time June 11th(the day after my 22nd birthday) and failed making it through all 265 questions in 3.5 hours!! Needless to say, I put off taking it again out of embarrassment and such. But, I retook it January 28th and passed. After almost 2 freaking months(!!!!!!!!!) The NJ board of nursing assigned me my license number and off on the job search I go. I have been applying almost everywhere, excluding nursing homes as it is not where I want to be. I've had no bites and a lot of emails saying "we're sorry to inform you, that even though your resume is impressive, we cannot offer you a position at this time. Someone with more experience is being considered" GRRRRRR!!! Any advice!!! I'm in southern NJ.

I'm in NJ and I failed my first time back in June. I retook it this January and passed! I was so nervous, crying, hyperventilating. It was nothing that a little xanex and pep talking couldn't handle.. Well maybe more than a little. But I promise you can do this, I know it is sooo discouraging but you have to remember that you KNOW this stuff. You know more than you think you do. Go with your GUT instinct. The first time I took it I did all 265, and had a lot of infection control. Second time I went through about 150 something and honestly I don't remember much I was so scared haha. Good luck!!!
