   NYpedRN replied to AussieKylie's topic in New Nurse

   first year is hard work. I agree. I was feeling so incompetent when I started. I had never done procedures like this in my nursing school. In the hospital that I rotated in, the nurses never drew bloods, put catheters in, never did anyIV insertio...

    ok so I took it again yesterday morning. I got 130 ques. I think that is such a weird number. It felt easier this time around, but there was also a bunch of questions that I guessed on. I know that in teh beginning of the test I put the wrong ans...
