Hi everyone, I am a Graduate Nurse, waiting on my ATT. Have a job waiting for me at CMC in Downtown Charlotte working nights, Med-Surg. Yeah, I'm one of those crazy night owls. I just moved to the Charlotte area in mid December, after graduating Nu...
What is the nurse patient ratio on your floor? I am a new grad getting ready to go off orientation, and am struggling a bit getting my time management together. I work nights and on average we have 6 patients, but we have 7 at times, and Im told ev...

Well, I took mine today. I am still in a bit of a daze. I ended up getting about 210 questions. I was never really one to have test anxiety. But this time was different. I serioulsy felt like I was going to pass out! So going into the test feel...
I still have a couple of weeks before I take the NCLEX, (actually its like 12 days to be exact) but I am really starting to get nervous about it. A few of my friends have already taken it (and passed) but they said how hard it was and that they felt...

I test on Feb 1st. Im really starting to freak out. I have steadily been doing about 300-400 questions a day, but still dont feel as though I am prepared. I just have to go for it and hope for the best I suppose.
Thanks for the well wishes. I am finally motivated to study. I am in full on study mode. Take the NCLEX on Feb 1st and start at CMC on March 3rd. I am looking forward to it. Any insight into what to expect during orientation would be appreciated...

Did you pay your money to Pearson Vue? The BON will send the info on to Pearson Vue and they issue the ATT. Also, mine came in my junk email inbox and almost got deleted. You might want to check that. Good luck getting a Jan test date, that seems ...

I test Feb 1st, couldn't get a Jan test date. I hope I have positive restults like the others on the board. I am just having trouble motivating myself to study. This being home all day stuff was kind of fun for a week or 2, especially around the h...

I can't seem to get motivated either. Most of my classmates took NCLEX review courses, but with Christmas and no job right now until NCLEX, the money wasnt there for it. Plus it's an awful lot of money to learn strategies, which were pretty much dr...
I just read your post and it kind of freaked me out. I graduate from Nursing school in December ( I am going to school in NJ) and I am planning on moving to NC almost immediately after I graduate. Now I am thinking that I should test here in New Je...
I am moving to Charlotte soon as well. My BF lives in Mooresville now, but we will be moving further south to shorten the commute for me. Probably Huntersville area. I heard the traffic is horrendous around this area, but it a compromise since he ...
Hi everyone! I am a senior nursing student in Southern New Jersey. graduating in December and planning on moving to the Charlotte area soon after graduation. I have been doing some research on the area hospitals and have found that the 2 major one...

I am going to be entering Nursing V in the fall. It is a very good program, however pretty expensive, and has gone up every fall. The tuition right now is about $4000 a semester, and remember you are only graduating with a diploma in Nursing and a ...
Can someone please tell me the difference between the two. I am currently a senior nursing student working as an Extern at a local hospital. One of the nurses there mentioned to me that I should be a "unit nurse" and not a "floor Nurse". Unfortuna...

Nursing 2 is great, all of the instructors are good. I had Amorosi, she was awesome!! Nursing 3 is when it really sucks! The OB portion is great, but everything else is like complete torture. Good Luck!
