It's natural to second guess yourself. You have worked for years to finish nursing school and this test is a major part in your future. It would be almost UNnatural to not be nervous about it. As for the 85 questions, I can't say how you did. With th...
I started with one year. I worked on a surgical unit but was frequently floated within the hospital including pediatrics and intermediate. I got my first assignment to a magnet hospital in their pediatric unit. The staff was awesome and taught me...
I also thought about using a professional service. I chose not to (too expensive!). I recently rewrote my resume since starting working as a nurse. I wrote the resume on my own and was able to get calls for 2 interviews in departments that I have b...

I do some work for Occuvax. It took a few weeks for them to send me my check but everything was legit. I worked with another nurse for a company sponsored clinic and it was pretty busy. The time went by fast and it was easy money. Good luck!
Congrats on your new job! We had 12 weeks orientation when I started. The first week was pretty much all classroom then I started on the floor. I work a on a post surgical unit although we do get some medical patients at times. I am just coming up to...
I am finishing up my first year under my belt and am JUST now rewriting my resume. My boyfriend and I are at least an hour away from each other and we have been living apart since I started nursing school. Needless to say he is starting to lose hope ...
I love 12 hour shifts! However, at my current job, I work 8 hr nights and it isn't as terrible as I thought it would be. As long as I work 8 days within the 2 week period, I still keep my FT status. My nights go by pretty fast so I can't complain rig...
Thank you to both. I think part of my uneasiness is due to starting a new position in a new career. I dont handle it well when I am in the position of not knowing what I'm doing. I plan on getting as much as I can out of this job and just growing as ...
Congrats on starting nursing school! For me, the first 5 weeks were spent getting to know classmates and instructors, reading, practicing skills, studying, and trying to get yourself organized! It took me 2 years to figure out how to take a nursing e...
I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. I do not believe that IA has a time limit like IL does. If it were me, I would most likely take a refresher course, review content hard core, then start studying for NCLEX in IA. Good luck!
I'm in IL. Here is my timeline: 5/18 - graduated 5/20 - school submitted papers to PearsonVue 6/12 - received ATT By the time I received my ATT, July was the first date I could register for
I took Kaplan classroom and I thought it was a waste of time. My instructor taught us their decision tree and for 4 days we just answered NCLEX questions. That was it. Personally, I learned more from the Qbank questions and did not use their decis...
