1. How much time should I take to study??? HELP:(

   BeezieRN replied to Lessh's topic in NCLEX

   I would not push it back. They say that the longer you wait after graduation, the harder it may be to get back into test mode as you did in school. Honestly, I studied an hour or two a day by answering questions and writing down topics for review. Re...

2. Stopped at 78, Nclex question

   BeezieRN replied to shootingstarss's topic in NCLEX

   Congratulations! You took one of the hardest exams ever!! It may seem hard to believe, but you can pass after taking only 78 questions. In my opinion, it's a good sign. On the other hand, I am not grading the exam so I can't tell you for sure. Do you...

3. How to Get into the NICU

   BeezieRN posted a topic in NICU

   New grad NICU jobs are few and far between. I have met many future RNs worried about not getting into their specialty of choice right out of school, and that it will be impossible to transition into if they start in Med/Surg. What do you all think? W...

   BeezieRN replied to BeezieRN's topic in General Nursing

   It sounds like it is guaranteed for staff not to swap shifts within the same week...I guess unless you want to? Things are never for certain. I don't know how they schedule personally, since I don't work there and it is out of state. What I have seen...

7. Do 3, 12 hr shifts for weekdays only exist?

   BeezieRN replied to M0nk3y007's topic in General Nursing

   It really depends on what area/environment that you work in. At the hospitals, I've met some nurses who work 3 12's on weekdays and have an extended weekend. Others opt for Fri, Sat, Sun so they can be at home with their kids during the week and sav...

8. Advice for Rotating Shift

   I have been looking around at employment opportunities. There is one floor that I dream to work on, but it is rotating shifts only. While it is all self-schedule, it is a requirement to work days (50%) and nights (50%)...just not rotating in the same...
