   Cmbnurse replied to chare's topic in COVID

   I disagree. Schools we're still closed in my area for everyone including young children all the way up to April 2021. And when they did "open" it was only for 3 hours and they were not allowed to use the playground, teachers couldn't even pass out pa...

4. Was nursing a mistake?

   Cmbnurse replied to Danielle1009's topic in New Nurse

   Totally normal and expected. It takes about a year to feel comfortable as a new nurse. Your gonna have good days bad days and horrible days. The learning curve is steep. Take it one day at a time. Ask for help when you need it and be kind to yourself...

5. New Grad ED - How to stay confident?

   Cmbnurse replied to Dory1025's topic in New Nurse

   Fellow new grad here. I am about 3 months into the ICU. It's been a roller coaster ride. I can definitely relate to taking things too personally. I think it really made my experience that much harder. Lately I have tried to take a step back and be ki...

   Congrats !! So exciting !!

7. UWorld Scoring

   Cmbnurse replied to rugger4312's topic in NCLEX

   I studied for about a month with UWorld. I used ATI previously for a month as well because my school provided us with it but I quit the program because I didn't find it helpful. So technically I spent two months. But I felt the bulk of my productive ...

8. UWorld Scoring

   Cmbnurse replied to rugger4312's topic in NCLEX

   I had some pharm questions but there was a little bit of everything. As for UWorld I started doing subject by subject until I completed most of the test bank then as I got closer to my test day I did tests with all subjects.

11. UWorld Scoring

    I passed NCLEX in 75 questions ! My overall UWorld score before I tested was 61% and I finished about 1800 questions in the test bank. UWorld was worth every penny! And the Mark K videos were also very helpful. Good luck everyone !

12. UWorld Scoring

    Cmbnurse replied to rugger4312's topic in NCLEX

    I felt like the self assessment questions were easier than the ones in the practice qbank. But that is not surprising considering the practice Qbank is quite challenging. How are you studying for NCLEX? So far I am just doing UWorld and Mark Kilmek v...

13. UWorld Scoring

    Cmbnurse replied to rugger4312's topic in NCLEX

    I have done about 800 UWorld questions and I have a 59% qbank score. When I took the self assessment I scored a 65% which translated to a very high chance of passing. I test June 7th but friends of mine who have already tested and passed in 75 questi...
