   Was I a complete idiot for wanting to get into OB? Now I'm lost and don't know what to do with my life.

   Thank you! This is exactly what I'm going to do. You are right, I was looking at a regular floor job as a failure, which was wrong. Becoming proficient a basic nursing practice should have always been my goal. I think I just assumed I could skip the ...

   I would love to volunteer on a L&D unit. I actually live 2 minutes away from a hospital. I didn't know you could pick the unit you volunteer on. I'll have to look into it. Thank you.

   I don't know exactly what so glorious about it LOL. I basically went to nursing school to become an OB nurse, not another type of nurse. That was my biggest mistake. I only saw that one specialty, and went to college with the intention of that one pa...

    Please Help. I am too dumb to figure out how to register for NCLEX!

    RubyJuly2020 replied to RubyJuly2020's topic in NCLEX

    I would think they would have gone over this in a class or at least have a list of what you need to do to get eventually licensed. No we were sent a paper explaining it. I looked it over but am still confused. I know I need to register with the BON. ...

    I can't afford to make a mistake financially, I'm on a very strict budget. I want to get the approval for the test, but don't know where to go to fill out a request. do I need to fill out and pay for a License from the DOH before I take the NCLEX?

    TriciaJ, RN, Thank you so much for your advice. I agree that a all or nothing approach got me nowhere, and I'm done having it hold me back. I won't give up on myself or my future patients. Thank you again, I'm ready to start my career.
