Do we have any Palo Alto VA nurses on here? Do you know if they hire any new grad RN? Any info would help. Thanks!! Amy

BEST PART: -Not having to call the MD on the phone, because they only standing a few feet away. -The adrenaline rush! WORST PART: -Drug seekers! -Scabies -Sputum

Seems to be taking longer than usual for the California BRN to post new licenses on their site. Not just for me, but for all of my friends who have recently taken the test. The BRN goes for days at a time with no new updates at all Waiting this long...

I just checked the BON site this morning! I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took my test this morning. It was horrible, I am not feeling too great about it. I had 75 questions: 20 SATA, 3 med calculations (two I know for sure I got wrong), a ton of priority, a ton of infection control, no delegation, and alot of meds (some...

Good luck today Amber07. Remember to relax, you are going to do great! :loveya::loveya::loveya:

Congrats to everyone that passed this week! We have so many new RNs, its awesome! I took prescription sleeping pills and I still cant sleep! I think the anticipation of this test might be worse than the test itself! (not sure yet though, I will let y...

I just took the Qbank Nclex practice test #2 and I got a 54%! Did not help my confidence or my stress level. AAAHHHHH!

Amber07- Good luck on Thursday, you are going to do great! I will thinking of you and praying for you that day. Hang in there ( :

Thanks for all of your support. My test is in a few days and I feel so sick about it. I have been studying everyday for 6 weeks and this week I just feel numb. I am not sure how else to explain it, I feel so numb. In the past 6 weeks I have been so i...

raerae08- Dont panic. I have several friends who took the CA boards on the 17th and none of them are posted on the BRN site yet. I would think it would be tomorrow or the beginning of next week. Dont stress, I am sure that you did great.

Thank you for the support loboscon08! I really appreciate it. I have so much anxiety, I feel like vomiting all the time and I cant sleep. I hope that the kaplan tests really are good predictors on if you are going to pass the NCLEX. Keeping my finger...

Hi guys. Just joining the thread. I live in CA and am taking the NCLEX next friday (the 27th). I am so nervous!!!!!!!! I just finished the Kaplan classroom course. I got a 67% on my readiness test and have been getting in the 60s on my question train...

Hi. I live in So Cal and am taking my NCLEX on June 27th. Anybody sharing the same test date want to start a thread? So that we can show each other support before/after the exam? If so, reply to this thread and we can get it started. I just finished ...

Hello. I am a new grad nurse that needs some advice from some experienced nurses. I have been fortunate enough to have two job offers for my first nursing job. I truly see myself as an ED nurse, I have been a bartender for years and enjoy a fast-pace...

Just because someone gets awesome grades in nursing school does not mean that they are going to be a great nurse. I am in med surg 2 right now and I have the same problem with people in my class. There are a few students who barely study and they alw...

I have always had a difficult time with the cardiac system for some reason, I just don't seem to grasp it as well as the other systems. Does anyone have any good resources/links for EKGs and arrhythmias? I am sure it has been posted on here before, i...

I am in a ABSN program right now and I definitely do not recommend it to anyone who procrastinates. It is really INTENSE. As the previous poster said, you have to study everyday and there is no way around it. This is not like my previous BA degree wh...

My teacher gave us a bunch of ABG practice questions. I did most of them but is one that I cannot figure out. Anybody have any input on this and the rationale for it? Thank you!!!! ph- 7.5 PCO2- 50 HCO3- 23
