Just a comment on the "nurse intern" position...While I was in nursing school and working as a CNA at a local big corp. hospital, I was actually classified as a "Nurse Extern" and essentially would have just rolled up into a nursing job after graduation/passing NCLEX...That may be why he has that title...Doesn't necessarily mean he's working as an actual nurse.

Commenting as a previous mortgage underwriter for 15 years: They will likely be viewing your application and underwriting your mortgage as they would for people that are self-employed. They will be requesting documentation (tax returns) for the last two years 2014/2015, possibly the most recent paystubs, and will "average" out your income to arrive at your annual income. Because you are not salaried/hourly employee, this will be the only way to gauge what your income truly is and what you can afford. You may also want to expect a higher down payment/credit score requirement as a result. They will look heavily at your savings and credit profile. NOTE: buy NOTHING until after you have signed/closed on your home...minimize credit checks and make sure you get a formal pre-approval prior to shopping/making offer on home... As noted above: try not to max yourself out by going to the absolute top of your approval limits...obviously you may be at an advantage due to flexibility in your schedule and the ability to potentially work more hours to increase income.

Thanks for the info. This is me trying to not procrastinate and do the same thing

From what I gather, it just needs to be completed within the preceding two years (TX). I was just unsure if there where reasons that I should wait (other then gaining experience).

I'm a new grad, recently licensed, and in midst of completing the paperwork and on-boarding process for a VHA RN position. It will likely be at least a month *she says with naive optimism* before I will start working. My question: Can I start taking my CE classes now or is there some benefit to waiting until closer to license renewal time? I figured I could focus on those classes that would be a benefit to the population I will be serving. I've reviewed the list of "free" classes and have got nothing but time on my hands. Thanks for any feedback!

I'm in Texas. I never got the message saying they were unable the schedule a new exam (the "good" pop up). Instead it would have charged my card had the availability been there...

I know it's going to be hard, but just do whatever you can to keep yourself busy until you can get quick results. We are all pulling for you!!!

So OP... How'd it go? Thought about you today and wanted to check in...

Thank you! My husband made me laugh the day I found out...said I've probably NEVER been so happy to be proven wrong:lol2:

The only thing you can do is study and try to breathe if you feel yourself panicking. I just got my results today, and let me tell you, I walked out KNOWING I'd failed. 263 questions (literally all of my friends were under 100 and most at 75) and I DID NOT get the "good pop-up" when I did the PVT. I spent 2 miserable days beating myself up...wondering why I wasted 4 years, student loan debt, and missing out on family moments for nothing. I cried and apologized to my husband repeatedly. All of my friends kept saying "everyone feels that way, I'm sure you did fine," but nothing could change my mind. Guess what - I WAS WRONG. I did pass. No one on here can tell you if you will pass, you simply need to clear your head, breathe, pray, and trust that everything you've learned will help you. I'm not going to sugar-coat it...It will be the longest 2 days of your life until you see the quick results or your name on your BON website, but have some faith in yourself. Good Luck!

Hurst does a review for PN...hurstreview.com

I tend to believe that her "advice" was not meant to be sexist, simply to clue you in as to how the women on that floor may react... Possibly to save you further grief... Now if she went and posted something like this⬇️... You might have a case...

I would think that if the administration is aware of just how angry a majority of the class is AND that the class is even aware of the situation, they would rather "cya" to protect their own reputation. They should be concerned about this going higher and for their sakes, they may cave to the student body. They never should have allowed it in the first place.

I always had a problem with my makeup "sliding off" until going into Sephora and finding Lancomes Teint Idole Ultra 24hour foundation. This stuff is amazing! Goes on great and stays on all day. I pair it with a primer from Bare Minerals and have been very happy...

I would email your HR dept so that you have a record of your attempt at due diligence to rectify the situation. Make sure that you detail everything that has occurred including your actual hours worked vs what you were mistakenly paid for. Keep the money available in your account; if you have direct deposit, they may have the capability to withdraw the overage or they will simply count it as advanced pay.
