I finally made it! New Grad & RN

[Powermoloch]

The past four months was the craziest in my life. I literally locked myself in a room for a couple of weeks from society (except for eating, showering & gym) to ready myself for the state board licensing examination (NCLEX-RN). When I got the last question, I knew I already passed from all the time invested, support from my friends and family.


Can't wait to make a difference

From one RN to another, have fun and know your limits! Enjoy making a difference!

Also if you need any help or advice, let me know I've been a nurse for 6 years and I've worked multiple hospitals including two very large academic hospitals.

My short term goal is to get into bedside care in an ICU setting. I really want to get my feet wet and get my practical and critical thinking skills going !

Congrats! After working as an RN for two decades myself (ER and ICU), I'm always glad to see someone else join the ranks.

 

[Powermoloch]

Thanks guys, it feels awesome to have heck-of-alot-of options now in life, especially for my family, friends and myself.

 

[DrPizza]

Congrats! I've been married to an RN for 20-some years.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Congrats! Probably one of the most secure jobs too. There's always a cry for more nurses, whether it's hospital, old age homes, etc.

Damn, I always thought you were a guy.

Goes to show it hard to tell a person from just their text.

why can't a guy be a RN? what is the average for an RN made a yr? 100K?

He's just trolling.

Average 100k? Nah, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility with OT. A few of the ED nurses I worked with a few years ago were doing nights/weekends/OT and were pulling like 75k working 4/5 days a week. Rough lifestyle (nights), but good money.
