I got a call for an interview today. It is for a stress lab and working in the nuclear med area. It’s a part time position but it’s an interview and a possible start. So I’m psyched. My interview is next Wednesday at 2 pm. It’s about an hour away but I can deal with …
Transition from RT to RN
The entries that encompass my after nursing school life and NCLEX testing
Hello, jobs? Jobs?
I still haven’t found a job in nursing. I’m not giving up yet but it is a bit disheartening still to not have a job. I’ve been turned down for at least 15-20 jobs and have heard nothing from any GN residency programs from any of the hospitals to which I have applied. Who are …
Little did I know….
We last saw our heroine fretting over the lack of nursing jobs for those with little to no experience….. I hadn’t been in my “professional” email box for days because I generally do not “log on” while in a string of shifts just because I am generally tired and don’t want to look at yet …
Nursing jobs, where are they?
It seems very difficult to find a nursing job. I have placed at least 10- 15 applications and been refused several due to lack of an RN license, or lack of experience. There are plenty of jobs out there. It’s rather disheartening to find the number of jobs which require 6 months, 12 months or …
Second in my class – RN

75 , REALLY???
So I have completed my NCLEX. My exam cut off at 75 questions, so I am either a complete idiot or I passed. I am hoping I passed. It took me an hour and 40 minutes to take the test. This does not alarm me too much as I used to finish a 85 question …
NCLEX studying
I’m studying my little hear out but I still Feel as if I know nothing and that scares me. Two people I know who have recently (in the last week) taken the NCLEX have said that their exam shut off after 75 questions. So that either means they passed or they bombed big time. I …
RT AND RN
How RT’s are credentialed is different than the way RN’s are credentialed. Well, no so different in the way but the how it happens. In my state, the RN licensure seems pretty streamlined although somewhat confusing when you get information From unreliable sources. You graduate from your RN program, be it BSN or ADN, apply …
Graduate Nurse
I am officially sanctioned by the board of nursing in my state as a “graduate registered nurse” ( that’s what it said on the top of the letter). I got this letter a few days ago. Now I am able to actually send my application to UCF for the BSN program and did so on …
