Hopefully we'll hear back tomorrow ?

True, but it’s been a minute since being exposed to a different surgical situation or patient with a new diagnosis. Not much excitement happens on our floor I didn’t know displaying a “wanting to learn” attitude was frowned upon. Just wanna learn new things & challenge myself in a different specialty, that’s all. Maybe I can try working in a different med-surg unit at a larger sized, teaching hospital

Yeah, I always read over provider notes and write unfamiliar verbiage to look up later. It helps me figure out the why. They didn’t even ask me scenario questions to determine my readiness, just asked the type of patients I take care of, which are post op with some medical overflow

I’ve reached my 1 year mark as a Med/surg nurse in July of this year. I’m grateful for all that I’ve learned on my unit, but I’m growing bored now. Most nights are chill & unproductive with nothing to do. I’ve been applying for ICU/Stepdown jobs, but with no luck. I get an interview then they tell me “maybe wait another year or so to apply again. We don’t think you’re ready.” I would do an internal transfer but they have a hold on transfers with no date on when they’ll gradually start letting people transfer. Covid is part of the reason as to why there’s a hold on transfers. So yeah, I just feel trapped/stuck & it’s starting to mentally affect me ? IDK if I dropping down to PRN until they allow transfers would be a good idea?

So far, one part of this is true. It shut off at 75. Scared to do the PVT though lol

Congrats on passing! I utilized Uworld and actually finished the entire test bank today. The rationales were on point and extremely informative! Wait, the questions on NCLEX aren’t as detailed compared to UWORLD? I feel like that can be good or bad - good because it takes away the unnecessary fluff & bad, because then it’ll be easy to overthink every question without the details.

I take my NCLEX next Tuesday. I have about 400 ?’s left on UWORLD. My overall performance is 65% average, in the 91st percentile. I don’t feel completely prepared but I am starting to feel confident? Idk, I’m just ready to get it over with

How long after applying did you hear something back? I work at one the piedmont locations as a tech & I already put in an application. Idk if I should get my manager to connect me with the manager on the floor I wanna work on lol

Besides the book providing examples, what other ways help you to understand concepts? The only way I can fully grasp something is if examples are given.

There are resources available the OP can use to their advantage to sharpen their skill set. I'm here to encourage, motivate, and empower the OP, not argue with you.

Nah, don't listen to this OP. Don't let a stranger plant seeds of doubt and fear into your mind. Nursing is for you. Don't let failure define who you are. You got what it takes to pass Nclex and become a successful nurse. Evaluate where you went wrong, switch up habits that aren't effective, develop a new plan to increase your chance of success, and try again! View these failures as a way to improve yourself. You got it. In 5 years, when you're a SUCCESSFUL nurse in practice, you'll look back at this moment and laugh.

Congratulations!!!! I agree. There were definitely good odds on our side lol.

WOOOOOOW I GOT ACCEPTED OMG. Good luck to everyone!!

Good luck everyone! No matter what happens, I'm rooting for each and every one of you.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the name of the school you withdrew from?

AHHH I'm super nervous. I didn't do too well on the teas. I made a 74.7 and my GPA is 3.3. Has anyone heard anything about the program?

Hello, everyone! I'm a new member on this website. A little background about my current situation: I attended a BSN program, but failed out due to 2 academic failures. What sucks is I had 5 courses remaining to receive my BSN! Upon extensive research, I've found how difficult it is to apply to other nursing programs. No one wants to accept a failure, unfortunately. Nursing curriculums aren't standardized so it'd be difficult for nursing courses to transfer or find a program that accepts nursing credits. Someone advised me to contact GA BON to see if I can challenge the NCLEX-PN. They emailed me back basically saying I can't because I didn't graduate from an LPN program. A while later I came across the PNEQ that Florida has. It stated that you had to have successfully completed courses in a nursing program that are equivalent to a PN program. What are my chances of being able to challenge it?
