The only training the agency could provide me is to work with someone (which is the person who helped me get the job) from the same agency. I will have to work with that person same shifts and unit until I will be able to manage on my own.. However, I will have my own patients and that person will have her own patients too. She could answer my questions and teach me procedures that i dont know, but she wont be able to stay with me all the time.. What do you think?

Im a new grad and no luck so far with hospital jobs. However, someone can hook me up to work in a nursing registry. I'm thinking of doing that instead to gain experience. It's kinda scary but I'm willing to do it. Does anybody have success stories about new grads working in a registry? I know its possible, but what should I expect? How hard is it?

I just got my license and I have applied to many hospitals, however, I have not gotten any call back yet. I want to work for the meantime in a home health agency, a clinic or a laser center coz I'm so broke If I do that, will I still be qualified to apply to a new grad program??

I actually found out I passed two days ago! I definitely thought i failed though. I guess they're right.. If you think you failed, it's a good sign! Thank you for your response!

Nursesabina: Try calling them! I called on the 3rd day after taking the test and they were able to tell me the status of my test, which at that time they said it hasn't been processed yet .. However 2 of my classmates called and the BRN told them they passed over the phone! Luckily my license posted on the 4th day at breeze. Good luck to you!

Hi Everyone! I just got my RN license and can't wait to start job hunting! During nursing school a lot of my classmates took ACLS/EKG/PALS courses but was too broke :/ Also, someone told me that hospitals provide those classes after you get hired so you don't need them prior to applying.. Is that true?? If not, what else do I need to get aside from BLS/ACLS/EKG/PALS in order to improve my chances of getting hired?

Congratulations! I took the NCLEX 3 days ago and I don't know if I passed or not. I had a lot of SATA and medications that never heard of before. Since this is already your second time taking the test, what do you think is the difference between the difficulty level of this test compared to you first one? I feel like I failed because when i came home and researched some of the answers, I answered A LOT of questions wrong and I stopped coz Im freaking out already. However, I dont really know what is considered a high level and a low level question. Any input would be appreciated!
