Question for anyone who has taken (and passed) the NCLEX-RN:
What is the best review book for the NCLEX-RN to use - specifically throughout nursing school (not just the months leading up to the test)? I have heard Kaplan and Saunders...but I really don't have any idea.

I highly recommend kaplan, and take their NCLEX class if you can

They give you a different book that isn't available in stores (I have both) and it was worth the month

It is a bit pricey, 500 USD.

Passed my NCLEX-RN

Looking for a a job now

Anyone got any hot tips for jobs in Southern California? Any where from LA to SD is fine with me

I've only applied to a few hospitals, but they hate new grads for the most part. I might just got for a SNF job while I obtain my BSN

How hard was the NCLEX for you?

Fairly hard, I don't really study, but my friends said I was pretty intense during the 3 weeks I was studying for the NCLEX, do yourself a huge favor and sign up for some coursework, I recommend kaplan

You can aim me for anything else, I'd be glad to help. AIM: terence is away

You can come work at my hospital! We pay pretty ok, our ratios are decent, and we have a nursing residency program that will allow you to go right in to NICU, ED, etc. PM me if you want the info. Nursing residency starts in July, I believe.

I dont have PMs :(

I can e-mail if you post it, or my e-mail is terencecah at gmail dot com

So it's been a few months since I started working as an RN in a nursing home, and the money is nice, the experience is okay, and my co-workers are supportive.

But I'm still desperately trying to find a job as a new grad RN in an acute setting. Anyone know of hospitals starting new grad programs soon?
