Hello Ladies, I needs some advice. I have been a nurse for two years, and have gone from the hospital setting to a private practice. IVF nursing. I find I miss real clinical work and that I have put myself at a disadvantage. I would like to go into home healthcare nursing as I think it would give me an opportunity to become a good practitioner. I dont know that my clinical skills are up to par and you hospital veterans certainly know more than I do. Is this a good idea? Can I have anyones thoughts? Thank you!!

I feel your pain. I started a job on a peds oncology floor 4 months ago...first job out of nursing school. its been awful. this is all i wanted and i have had no luck. for starters, i had serious issues with administration due to religious observance issues. they have been discriminatory and inappropriate-- everything has made me so nervous. Its a crazy floor to work on and it doesnt help when there are other issues. recently, i have been given the option to transfer to another floor. im looking at antepartum or postpartum because i think they are less acute floors. does anyone have any feedback? I dont want to give up nursing, but this has been a bad, bad start.

I PASSED THE NCLEX WITH 96 QUESTIONS!!!! thanks everyone for your comments and support, it has been very helpful and much appreciated. Best of luck to everyone who's studying right now. I passed on my second try, which means you can too!!!

Congrats!!! I'm still waiting on my test results cutie, even though we took it the same day. Well, I didnt actually end my exam till 5pm (east coast time). I dont know what time you took yours....gosh this is killing me! But anyways, CONGRATS!!!:balloons:

I'm waiting for my test results as I type... I got 96 questions not 75, took the exam on tuesday sept 4th and finished @ 5pm. Apparently they make you wait the FULL 48 hours. Sigh. Guys I need encouragement, this was my second attempt and I keep rationalizing...the first time I had 265 which means I was teeter tottering the whole time. This time i was SOO much more prepared that this HAS to be a good sign right??? uuughh. This waiting periods sucks.

Hi Ct, I took my nclex yesterday as well. How did you fare ? How many questions? I know waiting is torture,,,but we'll get through this! I had 96 questions and it was the 2nd try for me. The first time I had 265 and failed. I feel good about it, lets see if I'm right.... Hope youre distracting yourself!!!

Analysis and application questions are considered the most difficult. Those are usually the what would you do questions, related to medications, positioning patients, teaching ect. I know its easier said than done...but dont think about it so much. Distract yourself...it'll be over soon! :-)

I agree....putting too much pressure on myself has never worked. When I took the test yesterday I didnt even think what if I fail. I just assumed I'm gonna pass...and I'm keeping that attitude until I find out. Just hope I'm right!

Hi Cutie, Sounds like we have a lot in common. I took the exam yesterday as well so we're both waiting for test results.... I ended with 96 questions- it was the most shocking thing in the world to the computer just shut off. I KNOW I got my first question wrong and I think I got others right. I studied so hard for this thing that it kills me to think I may have failed...I mean, if I failed @ 96 I did REALLY bad. As for your 265, I know tons of people who passed at 265 and I'm really hoping for you its no different. I didnt get chemo drugs on my exam, just as an aside. I did get alot of select all that apply, a few questions on hepatitis which i was surprised about and tons of prioritization questions. Hold on honey we've only got a little while longer till we get our answer!!!!

I think I'm going to be doing alot of work to distract myself, watch some movies ect. I'm afraid of checking the website.... I got alot of select all that apply, prioritization, and evaluation of teaching. Is this a good thing? I guess I did really good or really bad? Dont worry, I'm breathing- I just dont know if im doing so deeply enough. hehe. I didnt sleep great last night, evded up taking some cough medicine to knowck myself out. Everything went smooth at the test center and stuff though. I didnt feel like the questions were awfully hard...is that bad? sigh. Bless your patience with me Chole! I appreciate it
