Hi Whippet!! I believe you posted on my post where I was asking for some encouragment because I too have been having a rough start to nursing. I'm currently working on a tele floor and I find myself...
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to thank you ALLL so so so so much for the + thoughts, and suggestions. I AM LEARNING every day, I just don't think my preceptor is the greatest match for me. I forget who...
Thank you Chaya! I do try to think and do as much on my own as possible but so many times I feel like I'm in a "grey" area or a little unsure.. You're suggestion is a good one though to try to...
Hi Vamedic, I can't even BEGIN to tell YOU HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO ME; I just needed to hear that and it made me feel better.. I'm sending you lot's of good thoughts back... I thought I was a pretty...
Hi everyone, I'm a brand new nurse and this week was my first week working at an internship program at a hospital. I wanted to get your opinions on some things. First I had a patient who was...
TrueRN, I didn't get a chance to see my preceptor go in a deal with getting the BP, BUT she had had her the previous day so the women knew her, and the lady screamed when she took her BP as well but...
Thanks AGAIN; I wish more nurses would consider that line of thought with us "baby" nurses. Even though we (or in this case I) may look like a deer in headlights at times, its because I'm still...
Oh one more thing - does anyone have firm yet appropriate statements to use to try to "motivate" patients who are giving you a hard time, (basically because they can!) What I'm trying to say is, I'm...
Hi, thanks for the advice on the bp cuffs i didn't realize you could regulate the pressure like that. Yes, it is an intership for new grads. It's a telemetry floor I'm on now. You do a total of 18...
Hi again all - just a quick question. My girlfriend who is taking the boards in Virgina was saying she can't get her results for 4 weeks. Does anyone know if this is correct for sure? I feel bad for...
hi all, posted yesterday and just have to post again cause I'm freaking out. I took the nclex yesterday it went off at 75 questions but I feel like i bombed it. For one I couldn't think straight...
For those of us who have already taken boards, please answer a few questions that might help ease the minds of those who are still waiting to test or for results. I know reading as much as possible...
Hi just peachy, thank you and thanks to all for the tidbits of hope. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and prayers said for everyone who goes through this :heartbeat test, it's not easy and the stress is...
hi, I'm in the same boat as you, got 75 but feel that the first couple of questions or so I goofed on because of nerves, my test seemed to get harder easier then harder at the end again and I got...
Hi Everyone, I took NCLEX earlier today, machine shut off at 75 but I really feel like I didn't make it. I've read here on the board that 75 is supposed to be a little encouraging but I really don't...
RN2 - I like your nursing diagnosis - it's soooo true.. :rotfl: I think that was a BIG part of my problem yesterday I felt ssooo nervous during the first 1/2 of the test, I literally could feel my...

Thanks you; i'm trying to keep positive but it's hard. Yeah, I was "hoping" I wouldn't get those either but no such luck, I just couldn't get over it, it seemed every other question for some time was...
