itrust, foxessb1 - I am so sorry to hear!! I was so looking forward to meeting you both :'(

madani - I took boards already. I interviewed for med/surge. ER seems like a lot for a new nurse IMHO but some go there and love it.

At this point I am just waiting to start. I will commute initially (few months) ask around to see where the good areas are and move after orientation.

Thanks, guys! I know that you will both kill it. I think the fact that you both have passed your boards looks awesome. That's my last hurdle now that this final semester is all but finished.

foxessb1 - I guarantee you 50% of being successful taking boards is managing anxiety. I swear I could hear and feel my heart beating through the noise canceling headphones! I had to breathe and re-read most of the questions because the stress made everything a blur.

Remember to breathe and no ahead of time they are more thorough than TSA near thanksgiving to keep the test secure

R u solving Kaplan questions Casey? It helped me tremendously. The questions were 90% similar to NCLEX questions....

Sticking to Saunders, ATI, and Hurst for this battle. Clinical is officially over tomorrow, so it will be full time studying from here until the test.

madani I agree - I did Kaplan too. I actually had the same med on NCLEX as I did studying Kaplan. It was a slightly different question that I got wrong anyway! lol but I was able to rule out other answers based on what little I knew.

I had soooo many put-the-steps-in-order questions!! They are evil.
