New Nurse

Published

Hey everyone. I mentioned in my other post that I was going to be graduating in May of this year. I am so excited that it is almost done with and to actually call myself a registered nurse. Although I am extremely excited I am also very nervous at the same time. I also mentioned in my other post that I would love any advice about taking the NCLEX-RN that any one has, which is one of the things that makes me nervous. It would all be much appreciated. The other thing is being a new nurse. How do you deal with being a new nurse? Is there something in particular that you did to make it easier on yourself and not so stressful? Any little tidbit I would love to hear about. Thanks and have a good rest of your day.

Welcome to AN! :)

Here's some of the best advice you're going to receive: go to the upper right-hand corner of this website, on the yellow banner, and find a little magnifying glass. Click it, it's a Search function. Type in some key words, and go from there.

There are literally hundreds of threads regarding being a new nurse; there is also a forum for new nurses specifically as well as the NCLEX Discussion forum. Thousands of threads there on exactly what you want to know. :)

My advice for NCLEX is to take it as soon as possible. Pass rates go down dramatically the longer one gets away from graduation.

You do realize, don't you, that you won't actually BE a registered nurse when you finish school?

There are hundreds of threads on NCLEX advice and almost as many on being a new nurse. The "Search" function is very helpful!
