See told ya! Lol! Congrats!!!!

Not in all cases. I walked feeling ok but not confident and passed in 75. Found out 24 hours after seeing my name on my state BON site. You could check your states BON site and see if your name is on their. Not sure if your state offers that or you wait out the unofficial results.

75 is a good number. Also feeling relaxed after is also a good sign. How soon can you find out? 72 hrs?

Thank you for sharing your journey. You are right that not all jobs is what you expect them to be even if they say this or that. and it is terrifying because this is all new to me and thats what life is all about right. You live and you learn and for me to really know what works best for me is to experience it for myself. As much as working 3x a week is so inviting but the stress and intensity of bedside I def do not see myself in. Decisions to make...

It is def nice to have 4 days off. I think I just gotten use to the outpatient setting working previously as a tech while I was going to nursing school. I like the idea of knowing that I will be home at a certain time and know that I have my weekends free and off on most holidays. Also, being a mom of three kids, I like being there to put them to bed every night and plan outings during the weekends. During clinicals, i dreaded the long hours and I just didnt see myself working the floors in the long run. During my interview and tour of this outpatient offer, I will still have the hands on experience such as infusing chemo, IV, portacath access, blood draws, assessing, and def learning the chemo world. I get to interact more with my patients in a stable and not so chaotic environment.

I honestly dont see myself doing bedside nursjng forever. I want to eventually have a set schedule the typical 9-5. But I really want to see how far acute setting can take me.

Hi all! I received two offers and i am having a hard time deciding. First offer is from an outpatient chemo infusion nurse mon - fri 8:30-5p off weekends and major holidays. Second offer is in am observational unit in one of the major local hospital. Schedule is the usual 3 12s and i have yet to see if it will be days or nights. I do like the outpatient setting and is use to having a set schedule versus the long work hours and possibly being placed nights. Also, im a new grad and I know how important acute care will be for my experience. Appreciate any advice...

Im on the same boat and I have decided to go into outpatient nursing. The timing of me coming on board on a critical unit with lack of training places my license and my patients safety at risk. Its sad and I have been unhappy the past few weeks and This unit is definitely not for me. I have anxiety prior to starting work and the lack of sleep is very toxic to my health. I hope everything works out for everyone in here.

So did you give your employer notice? if so, how did that go? How did you go about it?

i believe 3-6 months. just keep applying online because the position is not stated as "NEW GRAD". good luck!

Yes you're right on that note!

Hurst in class review helped me pass nclex in 75 questions. Wishing you the best of luck!

So did you leave before you fulfilled the agreement? You know now that i come think about it the agreement i signed is similar to yours "honor system" or more so a "promissory note". Its so hard because I was interviewed for the hospital that I've been wanting to work for and I really am not they type to just jump and go. However, life happens and i have to do what is best for my family and I. But see I don't even know if I will get the job. I mean if it's meant to be then it's meant to be. As for the new grad qualifications, I do not how strict they are and if they will find out that I am working with this other hospital. I just have to pray hard and hope for the best.
