You have to attend a program approved by the state BON to sit the NCLEX, and the NCLEX is an adaptive test that requires a significant body of knowledge to pass.

And no reputable company will hire new grads to travel. It’s so rare (and hugely unsafe) that I’d question your neighbor’s story.

Your ire directed at travelers is going in the wrong direction.

Travelers are cheaper than staff (overall) for hospitals.

I work at UPMC as a nurse (staff, sadly) so I get it.

But support a union, travel yourself, or find a new job.

That’s untrue. You cannot get a nursing degree online or somewhwre unaccredited and you can’t travel as a new grad.

I was on the floor at Mercy today and we had a violent homicidal patient and we all got this and immediately started taking cover because we thought he pulled out a gun and we were really scared.

This is a huge mistake to be honest.
