I loved nursing school and have learned and grown so much! I am super excited that it's over, but also a little nervous thinking about being out there on my own as a nurse.
I got a 99% on my predictor and feel ready for the NCLEX. My school did ATI, so if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
Pinning is next week, and I am hoping to get my ATT quickly. This girl needs to pass and start working!
Congrats to all those who will be graduating soon with me!
Yay!! Congratulations everyone!! [emoji322]I have 2 weeks left of school and graduate on May 7th!! It really can't go by fast enough. I took the ATI comp predictor 2 days ago.. So happy to have passed :)
That is sooooo awesome, CONGRATULATIONS to all of you! I still have a year to go but it is so inspiring to hear all of you making it through! Great job and maybe one day soon we will see you in one of these units!
Congrats! I graduate next December. I was wondering though, what should I expect as my starting pay as a bsn in Peoria, IL. Every site I go to gives me the median wage. I want to know the starting wage. I heard it is low.........
Awesome! Congrats! I am graduating on May 1st and am finishing up some final projects. So excited and nervous to finally be the RN. 97% on my ATI predictor, hoping it's reliable for us! Good luck on your boards! :)
Congrats, such an exciting time! That was me last year at this time and I am telling you, time goes by so quickly when you get your first job after passing the NCLEX. Just relax and breathe. You already passed nursing school, I am sure you will do great on the NCLEX!
Congratulations to all of you!!! What an exciting time. I graduated last December and took my NCLEX right away. Word of advice: Try to test sooner than later. You would be surprised how quickly things slip when you don't use them everyday.
I can say that any orientation program will prepare you to be on your own. I was blessed with a fantastic unit and when I finished orientation I told myself (in my mind) that I still have a whole floor of preceptors. Don't ever feel like you can't ask questions. Every nurse has been where we are and most really want to help. We are supposed to be nervous. My unit manager said she would be nervous if I wasn't.
Time management is probably where I need the most work. It is such a great feeling leaving work having had learned something new. Don't get me wrong I have already had a shift or two where I was like, "OMG! Maybe I wasn't supposed to do this!". Just hang in there, learn from everything, and move on.
