i took 75 questions on monday 3/29/05.

i am so scared. i feel like it's a 50/50 chance of passing. either yea, i'm too smart or that i'm too dumb that the computer gave up on me!!!

one more day and i will know the result.

i feel so nausea just thinking about it! :uhoh3:

I wouldn't exactly say that one is "dumb" if they get 75 questions & fail. There could be a host of things going on, for example: anxiety, ill-preparation, etc. Someone once posted on this website (a long time ago, I came across it while I was searching google for something) that people who fail the exam with 75 questions were stupid or from another country. I was completely offended by that person's post. Just wanted to share that with you. I am sure you are not "dumb."

currently i am looking and applying to several hospitals in ny.

i'm interested in working on a med-surg floor or the er. what do you guys think?

since i had new grads should work in the med-surg unti to gain experience and be mentally stressful before entering the er?

Janetrette, you and I are in the same boat. I'm currently looking and applying to several hospitals in FL. I don't know how true it is, but they say that it's better to work on a med-surg unit first to get the experience, and then transfer to a speciality floor. I'm going to try med-surg first, I guess because it deals with pretty much everything and it's well-rounded. I want to work in the ER also, I like the fast-paced, quick thinking enviornment. Well, either way, it shouldn't be too hard to find a job.

Well, this is just my opinion. I know med-surg gives you really good experience so that lots people recommend for the brand-new nurses. However, this is also true that each unit such as ER and med-surg requires you different nursing. For example, assessment in ER and Med-surg are diffenet. Each assessment style focuses differently. I also found "codes" happen much more in acute med-surg units than ER, which requires you really "emergent" nursing assessment and intervention skills. So, don't assume you will feel comfortable going to ER after a couple of years of experience in med-surg. I think wherever you go into new area, you will learn different nursing. If you know you like ER, then, go for it! My friends went to ER right after graduation, and they got good orientation and training. Now, they are doing well and they say that they would feel nervous going to med-surg floor because they don't know certain things yet. I have experience in acute med area for a year but I would need some training or orientation again if I change my area to, for example, rehab unit. I encourage you to check the hospital for training and orientation. It must be good idea to take ER course in continuing education, too. What I am saying here is that nursing is life long learning which would give you diverse opportunities and you never get bored! Good luck to you :balloons:
