Sorry it took me so long to post, but yes I passed the dreaded NCLEX!! I was so nervous but it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I got 141 questions & I swear around question 130 I thought "I'm the one, I'm going to get all of the questions", but luckily I wasn't, but my friend was! Me & two of my friends took it at the same time & one finished with 75, then there was me & then the other one got all of the questions, thankfully though we all passed!! After it was over we all came together & did "the trick" & yes it really works. 2 of my friends failed & they were able to go all the way to the credit card screen after taking the test, but everyone that passed was stopped before getting to that scree, so just in case you're wondering, yes the trick really works. So, I have been working on Med Surg now for about a month & I have to say that I have really learned some interesting things of which I will post later, but right now I just wanted to let everyone who was wondering to know that YES I PASSED! I am now Candi BSN, RN!!!!
So the director of the Med/Surg floor said I would hear something by today and well, I waited as long as I could before calling her seeing as I hadn't heard from her. I said I would wait until 4:00 but by 3:30 I was chomping at the bit so I called her. She said "I was just filling out your paperwork to offer you the job"!!! Yay me!! Now I know it's just a PCT/CNA job, but hey it gets my foot in the door right? I've talked to several of my friends who are in the semesters ahead of me & they've all said the same thing. "Get a job NOW". I have one friend who said she can't even get a PCT job b/c no one will hire her b/c she's too close to graduating. I never thought of that. Why wouldn't they want to hire you knowing that soon you'd be able to be a nurse there?? I don't know, but I am glad to have the job. The director said she thinks the pay is $10 an hour, which is pretty dece...
Congrats to you, and your family. I know you put the hard work in for your schooling and your family supported you all the way through it!! Woo hoo you're done with that big weight off your shoulders. Good job, I'm so happy for you. Where do you work again?
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you, and your family. I know you put the hard work in for your schooling and your family supported you all the way through it!! Woo hoo you're done with that big weight off your shoulders. Good job, I'm so happy for you. Which kind of med/surg floor do you work on?
ReplyDeleteHey, sorry I'm just now seeing these. Since I work in a really small hospital our Med/Surg is kind of like a catch all. We see all ages/diseases. We have 2 M/S floors & the ortho's like to keep their fresh post ops on the 3rd floor, but other than that we basically see everything.
DeleteCongrats! Yup did the track when I took the NCLEX for my LPN and RN worked both times...
