Hey everyone! I finally got a job offer in a Level I Trauma Center ED. What should i study, look up, prepare myself for, or-- tell me ANYTHING that will aid in my success within an ED as a New...

I've heard that new grads are able to get jobs a little easier than other bsn new grads at res/presence hospitals. I don't think that's completely true. These days, nobody wants a new grad. It's the...

We barely have any residency programs in chicago. Seems like new grads partake in these often--I was totally oblivious to this. Can you guys tell me more about the res programs?

SAME HERE. This is so unfortunate and discouraging. I had enough and broke down. I absolutely despise waking up to rejection emails and no call backs or interviews. Wishing I went another route or...

I have done the exact same and have applied to about 100 positions. I've been turned down for more than half. This is definitely discouraging. How are we to get experience if no one will hire us new...

Yes definitely! It's exactly like nclex!

Start by volunteering if there are no tech positions open. generally, after youve completed the first semester of nursing school (fundamentals, etc), that cancels your need to get certified as a...

I have noticed that being the happy and bubbly one does not always work so well in the ER. I get looks all the time for being enthusiastic and optimistic--i wouldnt be this way if i didnt love my...

Practice questions (100ish) 5 days a week. Make sure to understand all the rationales.

my program was 16 months. I wish that I managed my time better because my experience wouldve been so much better. I felt like the fast-paced program was great because it instilled the basics and all...

Congrats!!!! You must be so relieved!

Thanks!!! But I cant sit still until i have it in written on the pearson site lol

I dont know how anyone can study EKGs along with all the other content that needs to be reviewed during nclex prep. In regards to the saunders book--use that for things that u have trouble with. when...

we're on the same boat! gahhh

I talked to quite a few nurses (who have taken kaplan and the exam in the last 2 years) and they have all said that scoring in your 60s and 70s on the Qbank is a good sign. As soon as i get my...

Yes they give you both Celsius and Fahrenheit

For my study regimen: I used the Saunders (yellow) book for content review. It was great for content review. It comes with a CD of questions and i started by practicing those questions first. After...

I tried it and I got the good popup. Thank god for that but i am still super skeptical until i see the unofficial result after paying the $8 in 2 days. Today has been the longest day of my life...and...

Haven't tried it yet but I am so impatient!!! I'm afraid it might be inaccurate. What if tells you u passed and you actually ended up failing

Sorry I am so paranoid! So if it takes you to the payment screen, that means you've failed? And If you passed, it says what?

How long after finishing the exam did you wait to check the pvt

I can't believe the way im feeling--totally sick to my stomach and straight up anxious. I'm just afraid that the pvt result is wrong :(

I just took the nclex right now and I am feeling miserable. The exam stopped at 115 questions. I felt that I was getting a few questions wrong one after another. I am trying to be patient and am...
