  1. helppp, i think i hate nursing

    I sincerely feel your pain. I have stuck it out for a year, about the shortest time that looks good for looking for another job. It is rough working the night shift and not being a night person. I also have had minor things that would not have happen...
  2. I understand your pain as the floor I am on is the same way. It seems like management finds all fault but never acknowledges the things done well or even sees your real performance because they are never there. Good luck in the future...
  3. Going from nights to days

    Wow, you sound just how I feel...except I would like to find an alternative to bedside nursing. I love the patients but want more time to impact them one on one. Days on our floor are insanely busy and you really can't even find a place to sit to cha...
  4. New Grad, First Clinic Job advice...

    I don't have much advice but to use your observation skills and notice what goes on around you. Do you have a training period? Don't be afraid to ask questions. I am curious to how you found the position? I am looking to get into a situation like yo...
  5. I dont know if it is right or what?

    Good luck!!
  6. when do you take the NCLEX?

    Depending on your own comfort level with taking it right out of class, you might ask around about a review class if that is something you might consider. Sometimes you can take it and the paper work fills in the time gap between graduation and when y...
  7. How many miles does an average RN walk per shift?

    I was talking with a nurse who wore a pedometer and she had 12,000 steps for a 12 hour shift. I think that is more than 3 miles but I am unsure of the step and mile equivalencies.
  8. which would you choose?

    Congrats on getting 2 offers!!!!!!!
  9. Silly question about white scrub pants

    I was just like you when I started nursing school. I tried a bunch of things like getting pants liners, etc. In the end you see so many variations of white in the hospital that you get kinda desensitized to it all and just wear them. We found that wh...
  10. I failed 3 times...help! anyone use nclex-rn 4000??

    You can customize the NCLEX 4000 and work on the areas you need to concentrate on. The questions seem adequately hard. I think this is a link to an online version of it but not sure. University of Texas Medical Branch - Nursing You might give that a...
  11. Cushing syndrome

    Wow, that is a big mistake!!! Especially for people here who are trying to cram it all in their heads!
  12. different testing sites-NCLEX RN level of difficulty?

    We were required by our school to take the ATI test after each clinical class. They were ok. They get you in the mode of answering questions NCLEX style and some of the schools make it mandatory to pass these to pass the class. I think it improves th...
  13. studying to take the nclex-pn exam

    Have you practiced questions like those that would be on it? "Studying" is overwhelming but during a review class taken for the NCLEX there were many who did not study, failed, and were now taking the class after their unsuccessful attempt. Good luck...
  14. Free Practice Test for you to try! Lets compair scores!

    71%. I hate when you reread the question and realize that you didn't read the stem correctly no matter how many times you practice these.
  15. running out of time =/

    Our review class instructor mentioned asking your PCP for a prescription of Inderal for 3 days for test anxiety. I thought this was interesting. Just thought I would mention it.
