Class was from 6-10 every Wednesday but your day can vary. Clinical are between 8-12 hour shifts on the weekends and sometimes weekdays. I transferred in with my AA and completed in 3 years. Transfer in with a AA versus with just classes. They hon...

Pixie, sorry in advance and I don't want to hijack this thread. Another question related to older age getting into the military is about being overweight? I also recently obtained my BSN, and have considered military nursing. Yet, I'm on the chubb...

I say with the future nursing shortage coming soon, that organizations will have to be open to hiring ASN's. Lots nurses retiring from the baby boomer age group and nurses in my organization are retiring in the mid 50's.

So right I'm working in the VA as an LVN. I now have my RN but can't get hired locally. They want me to work 45 miles away to work as an RN at a CLC (nursing home). So, the VA has great benefits overall i believe. Only down side might be pay. Yo...

So I have to make a choice between two jobs soon. I currently work for the VA. I tried twice to get into their new grad program with two failed attempts. Things stalled for a couple of weeks and I ventured off to find my own job. I landed several ...

If I was in your spot I would start ASAP if you have the energy and time. There is nothing wrong with attempting to have a job lined up prior to getting your license. You need to prepare for interviews and create a beautiful resume highlights what ...

A state job such as being a state prison nurse has its pros and cons. As a male you may have more of an advantage at being hired. Around here, the state prisons have many gates to pass through till you get to your station, and then I hear they have...

I worked full-time while going to school fulltime. I completed my lvn-bsn program at the University of Phoenix. We had class once a week or more and clinicals on the weekend. My BSN took 3 years to complete cause my prereqs were too old and we the...

Currently I'm working as an LVN at an outpatient mental health clinic in the state of CA. I'm both an LVN and BSN but I'm job hunting for the next step. The greatest demand for LVNs in my area are in the typical skilled nursing facilities, home hea...

You don't have time to read books anymore at this point all though you could read up on areas that your score lower on. This was my plan prior to the comprehensive. Practice every single ati test bank that you have!! Make a detailed plan that allows ...

Yeah if the market out there is that competitive you may have to either commute to the next town over or relocate for at least 1-2 years. If you are want to enter those hospitals in the NYC area you may have to put in time at another hospital in a r...

Hello all!! Today my post is related to not being accepted into my new grad nurse residency program. I am at a point of ups and downs, so it's more positive than negative. I recently found out that I passed my NCLEX last week so I am now a registe...

Just to let you all know. In the end, but its not the end yet, my job opened an internal LVN-RN transition program. I guess my nursing leadership shook the tree and made things happen for me again. I have interviews next week so I will let you all...

Yeah I would leave. Missing your family is the priority. You are better off working in an environment that is close to home. As much as possible to try to utilize your license within the are that you live if you can. But if you now miss your fami...

So I work for the VA and they have a stellar residency where I would be able to rotate through different specialties. After three months i would have a job not too far from home and it would with the same organization. So I'm used to the union and ...

I have a friend that was accepted into the same hospital where they had the ICU residency. I'm going to give her a call this week and ask her how everything is going and see if I can apply there for one of their full time positions. The only edge t...

The leadership in my organization will not allow me to obtain an RN position unless I have at least 1-2 years of RN experience. Unless I have attended a new graduate residency program.

Great avatar and name!! HAahah! The next cycle will start in January, but its more preparing and then rolling out the next program by April. I might not qualify cause I'll be 6 months past graduation from school and not be considered a new grad an...

So I just finished my LVN-BSN program through the University of Phoenix. It was a really intense program with a lot of ATI, clinicals, papers, presentations, and projects. I wrapped up last week, but I feel like I'm preparing for the next class or ...

Through reading here in the forums, it sounds like you can go to the person vue website and pay for early processing to see if you passed. Maybe that might help you out. Good luck

I took my ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor 2016 I got a score of 79.3%. This score states that I have a 98% of "Predicted Probability of Passing NCLEX-RN® on the First Attempt". I was able to obtain this score by just doing every single ATI practice...

I am currently wrapping up my LVN-BSN at University of Phoenix in Salida. The program has its ups and downs. I'm absolutely happy though that I am finally going to be done in May and have a chance to sit for a NCLEX RN. Now, UOP give you a lot of...

Hello all...been awhile since I have posted here. Today I am here to vent. So today I have a group assignment due. I have worked within this group for almost a year. We have gained some members and lost some. My vent is dealing with people who ...

So to just inform you all I was able to get a level 3 on my Med-Surg ATI by using my method of studying. In addition I discovered tonight that I got the highest score in my program ever! Tonight's a good drive home from school.
