1. Guilt about using sick time

   ffweste replied to ffweste's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you everyone for your responses. I obviously am not working while I am on the medication (can't wait for the extraction on Monday - but the infection has to be resolved first per my oral surgeon). I know that people call in, but like I said t...

3. Guilt about using sick time

   ffweste posted a topic in General Nursing

   Okay friends I am laying on the couch missing my 3rd and final shift this week and feel SOOO GUILTY!!!! I fractured a root in my upper molar and it abscessed up into my jaw bone. I have been prescribed high levels of antibiotics and Vicoden. Since ...

4. Passing the board

   ffweste replied to gsaun7332000's topic in NCLEX

   I also used ATI, Kaplan, Mosby's NCLEX review, Saunder's NCLEX review, a Lippencott Flash Card set. I can honestly say I utilized Kaplan and Saunders the most.

5. God give me strength

   ffweste replied to HolyNameChild7's topic in NCLEX

   Gene - You will do great. You have done everything that you need to do to pass this test. Just say a big prayer before you start (I have to admit, I said more than one prayer while I was taking the test approx one Hail Mary for every question). It...

6. Waiting is the hardest part....

   ffweste replied to ffweste's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks Suzanne. I know that I don't need to remember the questions, I would just like to look up a few and just see how I did. But on second thought, that might just really make my anxiety set in. I think they told me at the testing center that OK...

7. My Saunders cd won't work on my Mac Book!

   ffweste replied to michelle meeks's topic in NCLEX

   I had the same problem but my 'ole G4 isn't new!! I got it 3 years ago. I ended up having to use my husband's PC for Saunders. If you use Kaplan qbank (just an extra FYI), your computer won't let you do any of the alternative format that involve p...

8. Things to do to keep yourself from going crazy while waiting for the NCLEX results

   ffweste replied to alabastershadow's topic in NCLEX

   This is all good advice - I played with my kiddos, watched some football, and yacked on the phone all night. I really should use the running around the block several times.....I will do that tomorrow.

9. Nclex-rn

   ffweste replied to Polican, RN's topic in NCLEX

   Debbie - Good luck, you are right hard work and determination are key. I always work hard and made studying for NCLEX my job since graduation (graduated in Aug) and I have worked. Took last week off work to focus my energy solely on studying. I an...

    ffweste replied to ffweste's topic in NCLEX

    Thank you everyone for your support. Hopefully, only 36 hours until I find out....not that I am counting or anything.

    I am sure that you didn't fail. You did everything that you could do to get ready (you made me feel bad when I read everything that you have done!). My school has a high pass rate too and I don't want to be that person.

    ffweste replied to Polican, RN's topic in NCLEX

    Mine shut off at 78 questions. I had one put in order, a few SATA, and TONS of meds. I pretty much have come to the conclusion that I failed. ~sigh~ I am impatient by nature and this is horrible. It is going to be a long few days, thank God I wo...

14. Waiting is the hardest part....

    ffweste replied to ffweste's topic in NCLEX

    I hope so for you too! I didn't have any dosage calc questions. I had several priority, med questions (lots of those), and some SATA. I am horrible at remembering a test even 2 minutes after I take it. The only question I remember is that stupid...

15. Waiting is the hardest part....

    ffweste posted a topic in NCLEX

    Took NCLEX-RN today @ 8am, finished by 915am (78 questions) I never thought that I would want that test to keep going. I answered some bizarre lead exposure question and then the screen went blue (my mind said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!). I kno...
