  1. If you're freaking out...(Passed at 158)

    No, there is no tricks, clues or short-cuts for this exam. That's what I am trying to get out there. It does not matter what the last question is. It doesn't matter how many priority, communication, knowledge, renal, cardiac, maternity or any other q...
  2. If you're freaking out...(Passed at 158)

    Hi New Grads! This post is to give my 2 cents on my experience with the NCLEX that would've been helpful to me when I was totally freaking out before, during and after the exam. A good friend of mine from school was sitting next to me in the other ...
  3. Bored or scared...Maybe Both

    Hello Fellow Nurses, I graduated May 13th and start orientation (Med/Surg) on the 12th of June. Since I graduated, I took a break and caught up on things for my photography business I have on the side (in my spare time lol). New York State Dept. of E...
  4. Feeling Overwhelmed!

    Hey StudentNurse74, It's been a while since you posted this one but I came across it and wondered how you made out with your feelings of anxiety and being overwelmed with so much on your plate at that time. I'm in a similar situation so any words of ...

  10. Question about meds via NG tubes

    Also! Kink the tubing in between your flushes so you don't get a yummy residual shower, get the bedding soaked, and make a fool out of yourself while your instructor is watching you. It'll make you more nervous and you might forget a flush or somethi...
  11. Question about meds via NG tubes

    Think of it this way, When you give someone PO meds do they take it c water or saline? It's all going in the stomach, so water is ok. Saline isn't necessary unless it's for the reasons stated from the other posters. The best adivice I've ever gotten...

  13. Students who don't come to class

    Some students don't care about their education as much as others. Especially when compaired to older or returning students vs recent HS grads. Who cares though if your grade isn't affected and you're doing well in clinical? Why upset yourself about o...
