   All of your student nurses will make it! I believe in you! The tears and fears make your stronger. I know! Keep studying and ask for help when needed. And don’t forget . . . to take care of yourself as best you can ?

2. A Letter to Student Me

   Beachwave replied to Lindsynicoler's topic in General Students

   This was my story! Thank you for writing this! I had a hard day at work with “nurses eating their young.” It’s my first year too. But looking back, man . . I’ve come so far ?

3. New Grad Burn Out? What to do now?

   Beachwave replied to sjyRN's topic in Stress 101

   I understand. I still don’t know what I’m doing. I feel like I’m doing a good job to an extent but that I will always make a mistake. I’m afraid to go to another unit too!

4. New Grad Burn Out? What to do now?

   Beachwave replied to sjyRN's topic in Stress 101

   I relate to this so much! Especially the part of the doctors being there in day shift and having to worry about “embarrassing yourself” in front of new nurses if you find another job! It’s so hard and I suggest you do what’s comfortable for you. You’...

5. New Grad Burn Out? What to do now?

   Beachwave replied to sjyRN's topic in Stress 101

   I completely relate. I actually was going to post something similar. I’m a new grad RN on my sixth month on a psychiatric unit. I love it. But have been struggling. Haven’t received much support from staff and work nights. I sleep during the day and ...

6. How do I pick myself up after failing NCLEX?

   Beachwave replied to renchen's topic in NCLEX

   You are not worthless! A test doesn’t define you. Remember there are so many like you. Tests are not fun, and I can so relate. what I did was tell myself it’s only a test, not a beast ? it works, even though it takes some mins training. I believe in ...

7. Uworld??

   Beachwave replied to Christina_'s topic in NCLEX

   Do it!! It is so worth the price! I passed the first try. The rationales are so helpful and questions just like the test! And I agree quality is what counts, not quantity of questions. Make sure you understand each rationale. That helped me the most...

8. Passed NCLEX! -UWorld

   Beachwave replied to Beachwave's topic in NCLEX

   I started using U-World three weeks before. It definitely wasn’t perfect and I didn’t use all the questions. That’s ok! ? Just keep practicing as many questions as you can. Read every rationale to understand the thinking behind the answers; this is s...

   Beachwave replied to NurseeDeeva's topic in NCLEX

   Keep doing the questions! I was getting the same scores on U-World and passed the NCLEX this past week! Just read all rationales!

10. Passed NCLEX! -UWorld

    Beachwave posted a topic in NCLEX

    Just saw at midnight my California RN license number on the board site! Literally everything people are saying about the timing of when results come out is spot on. So for those waiting, it will appear! I want to say to all those preparing to take th...

11. NCLEX in 75 questions and good PVT pop up!

    Beachwave replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in NCLEX

    Use U-World! The rationales are the best and really helped me understand the why behind the answer being right and wrong. I’m not a good test taker and this helped me have more confidence. Focus on your weak areas first. Mine was the heart and rememb...

    Beachwave replied to Hop scotch's topic in NCLEX

    I am using U-World and take my test on Tuesday. I’m really nervous and am going to pay attention to wording as you mentioned. I feel like it’s all about how I am answering the questions. I am going to pray too, it has gotten me this far! Any advice o...
