   Aww, graceann, I'm so sorry to hear that. ? Good that you're staying positive--that's the spirit! Even though this may feel like a setback, just think, you have an advantage because you've been through it before so you know what to expect. You can d...

   Hi fallgirl, original poster here. Thanks for sharing and wishing everyone well! Though it has been over a year since I got my license, I remember all those dreadful feelings--before, during, and AFTER the exam. I was so bad to myself after the exam,...

5. What's the Most Common Reason for a Patient to be Readmitted on a Psych Floor?

   AlwaysAnxious replied to AlwaysAnxious's topic in Psychiatric

   Hi penelopelp, thanks for sharing! I did learn a lot from the RNs that had good work ethics and were team players, but sadly they were outnumbered by the bad ones. But what made the floor impossible to work on were the techs actually fighting with th...

   AlwaysAnxious replied to AlwaysAnxious's topic in NCLEX

   Hi graceannpdc, don't despair yet. The PVT trick didn't work for me when I tried it after the exam, but oddly enough, I saw that my license was activated the next day. I don't know why or how this worked, but maybe Pearson's system was lagging behind...

7. Pre pulling meds

   AlwaysAnxious replied to Riegelbeagle's topic in Psychiatric

   Current pediatric psych RN here. Although it's not what they taught you in nursing school, realistically, it's good practice and time management, esp. if you have a hectic day with admissions and discharges. As long as you check your orders and follo...

   AlwaysAnxious replied to AlwaysAnxious's topic in Psychiatric

   Hi Hppy, thanks so much for the advice. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in the self-care part. I always came home late so I slept late, never had time to eat so I would fill up on junk to keep myself full, didn't have time to go to the gym anymore,...

   AlwaysAnxious replied to AlwaysAnxious's topic in Psychiatric

   Thanks everybody for your answers, I really appreciate it! I'm a new nurse going into psych. I'm really nervous and afraid. I feel like I know nothing despite studying my sanity away in nursing school. I'm so scared that I'll be so terrible that I ju...

12. PVT: Don't Trust the Bad Pop-Ups!

    AlwaysAnxious posted a topic in NCLEX

    I took the NCLEX-RN 2 days ago and was so sure I had failed. I panicked early in the exam and stayed that way all throughout it--spending too much time on each question, re-reading the stem and choices, and changing my answers constantly. I was doing...
