Considering an OR transfer after 1.5 years ICU. I'm trying to read all I can over the past few months but having difficulty finding warm contacts in person. Recent unit changes are making it hard to...

Thanks... I'm considering whether to uproot us to a completely different state. There are plenty of OR programs out there that could be great...but that's a whole different
:heartbeatHey All, I'm considering becoming a navy nurse for a few reasons. DH and I have decided to be child-free and I am (and likely always will be) the breadwinner for our family of 2. We love to...
i'm particularly interested in opinions of those with experience as charge nurse, preceptors or those with several years experience to judge whether or not these are safe assignments for me to be...

Just a followup- I spoke with a great resource person last night who has offered to help me out with questions and has a great deal of knowledge regarding patho, technology, and developmental care. I...

That's all I needed to hear. Thank you guys! I cried a lot this morning. I cried through my whole shower at home. My husband felt really bad for me and assumed one of my patients had died. My...
I took the test this A.M. It stopped at 75 questions. I didn't feel it was that hard... there were a lot of questions I wasn't 100% on of course but at least I was able to eliminate answers on most of...
Do NOT STRESS! You and I, we had a similar format test and I expected it to shut off at 75 and IT DID! The waiting is definitely the hardest part but nothing to fret over. It's done for now....
I'm sorry to hear that you have to retake the test. When it shut off at 75 I felt so encouraged by the low number. It's like, people are more prepared to fail if they went through 200+ questions......
no answers yet, still waiting to hear... the secret is probably to keep studying. i did review pharm very intensely for about 5-6 hours a week before the test. i felt like i got it that night. had...
hey girls, That 250 alt question book was definitely helpful. Everyone's test is different but the material in there is very general and covers ALL areas (pedi, maternity, cardiac, renal, gi...
Still waiting for the results to be posted and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet... everyone at work was really comforting saying "oh, I'm sure you passed..." but you get this little pit in your...
Phab-- I was bummed to have no calculations as well-- I agree that they are freebies!!!!! Does the pearson vue site always go down at night? It's unreachable. I figured with only 75 questions my...
I hope it's not as scary as everyone says... Good luck tomorrow you guys! As a night shift worker I can't sleep tonight... oh well. Hopefully all this ER rerun watching tonight counts as review......
Hey Amy, I devoted 1 night to pharmacy this week when I was off. I've been scoring 70-80% on my pharm practice tests (about 50 questions each) since then. Just wanted to share the encouragement....
I'm taking mine on Monday too. My focus this week has been pharm, L&D and a few random Med/Surg topics that I just cant get a grip on (dietary/GI questions, eyes and ears, and endocrine). I'm...
I've been slowly reviewing med/surg material for 6 weeks. I try to do 50-100 questions/day about 5 days/week. I admit, I haven't studied every day! I'm reviewing pharm this weekend. I have about a...
Thank you so much for the replies. Jess, thank you for reassuring me about your test scores. I was freaking out because even though they said 65% I felt that was too low... I thought I should be...
