That worries me, and I'm wondering for those of you in the program or just finished.....Why do you think most of those people get cut? Are we talking just like one point from passing....or are there really obvious things that people don't do, or do in error?

Advice for making myself more marketable??

Hi everyone!! I just passed the NCLEX and now I'm just waiting for my license number. Does anybody have any suggestions on making myself more marketable for the hospitals in NJ? I live in Monmouth county so would prefer a hospital not too far from me. Any advice is welcomed.
