Don't forget all the excuses people make, too! Oh wait, those were mentioned already... ?

I personally found studying NCLEX apps useless before graduation - there was such a huge amount of content in the final semester and school questions can't be reasoned out like normal NCLEX questions. Get some of the free apps if you really want to,...

I'm in Wisconsin. Many schools send records electronically and the state gets them pretty much instantly upon graduation.

Are you worried about being able to pass TOEFL? That is going to be a barrier to passing the NCLEX as well, so maybe start there?

Just curious - what state are you in? I hope you realize this isn't how clinical placements normally work.

That must've been a short "pro" list lol... I don't see much difficultly in this decision.

We were required to have a completed portfolio before graduation, with different parts of it being due every semester. It made such a big impression when interviewing. Even if they didn’t read it cover to cover, just having a well done portfolio ma...

There’s no shame in moving out of the ICU if it’s not a good emotional fit, especially if you aren’t there for a prerequisite to CRNA or something?

Most people use their books for “test prep” by actually learning the material.

She wouldn’t meet any of the criteria for FMLA at all. Job stress is not a serious medical condition. Plus I’m pretty sure she would have to be employed for a longer period of time before starting FMLA. Anyway your daughter is a grown woman wit...

I've dealt with anxiety.. I've even had a full blown panic attack during a test.. I still passed. Reasonable accommodations don't include being able to retake a test because of anxiety. As a nurse, you are going to have to learn to work under that ...

I got it a couple days later! Unfortunately the first available testing date wasn't until the middle of January. ? It's fine though, I was an extern on a different unit for the past 6 months so this is giving me a chance to play catch up. lol

For a single semester of med surg I usually made about 1500 notecards throughout the semester using Anki. Spaced repetition is scientifically the best way to remember information. I copy and paste things straight out of ebooks from the readings int...

If you want to be hired again you're going to have to take full responsibility for the current trajectory of your career as well as come up with a plan for correcting whatever it is that you've left out of your post. People with "great" performance ...

Thank you that’s helpful information ? Debating whether or not to take the labs - I don’t need them, but are they helpful/worth it for understanding the content?

Nice! My graduation was verified the day of graduation (the 17th) but still no ATT. Not even sure who I'm waiting on - is it the state or pearson that is slow?

Ugh how much is a degree from this shady school costing you?

Can mean a lot of things, most of them not favorable to getting the job unfortunately.

If you want ER go ER. They didn’t go that far out of their way for you if you have to wait six months for a full time job.

Oh hell no. If this causes problems for your husband then his company can give you a nice fat check too, he won’t need that job.

There are hospitals in my area that offer paid training for CNAs with a guaranteed job once you pass your certification test. I’d look around and see if you can find something like that. Then if you’re working as a CNA most hospitals will offer a c...

Why don't you ask the school lol I'd have a hard time believing that though.

Tony you sound like literally every single person that has failed out of nursing school.

You should actually read/study the material before class so that you can ask questions about the parts you don’t understand in class. Does this really need to be explained?
