hello I have an interview next week for PACU RN position. I've been working as cardiac stepdown nurse for 3 years and I don't have any experience in PACU... I'm getting ready for the interview but I wanna get some ideas of interview questions... Thank you in advance!

learningext.com good luck~!!! ^^

SATA= select all that apply hehe i didn't know either when ppl talked about SATA so i asked them just like u I think ATI is not helpful. Many of my friends bought the question online NCSBN and they said it was the most helpful questions. I didn't do kaplan or NCSBN. I just studied myself. Good luck~ you can do it. don't be too stressed out~

yes~ so don't worry!!! # doesn't matter with the result but most ppl passed with 75Q!!

most of ppl who stopped @ 75, they all passed!!! congrats twinmomo76~!!! I hope Kenstatestudent passed too!!! :)

OMG! I just checked BON website and my name and a license # appeared! I'm a RN now~~~~yay! I hope you guys passed too!!!! :) Good luck~~

hope we alll passed!!! i hope my name appears on the BON!!!! let's just take a deep breath~ :)

how come? my other friends took it in Feb and they all got the result within 4 days....... I wish my name appear on BON tomorrow. I heard that BON website updates every other day at 5:15 am...

keep me update about your result! One of my friend took it yesterday and she got 8 SATA so she's depressed now. Hope we passed! Some ppl said if you didn't get calculation question, you probably passed... i'm keeping my fingers crossed too!!!! I hoping for the BEST~!!!!!! :)

i took the nclex-rn yesterday and i have the same feeling with you(kenstategrad). Mine stopped at 75 and I had one SATA and a couple of meds questions...(about 10?) I had a few of PEDS/OB/PSYCH and no calculation or drag... I thought I did well after it stopped but now i'm feeling anxious after I read your post. Unfortuantely, I'm in CA so I can't find out til next week. they said it's gonna be take 2-4wk by mail but many of my friends got their results online after 3-4 days. Did anyone wait too long to check your result online?

thank you for all the supports and comments! D-17 OMG~~~ I'll be praying for everyone who takes the board on FEB!!! Good luck and plz update your results and thoughts!!!

My Nclex is on Feb 20th. I haven't done anything much yet so I'm worried. I have saunders book but I did 70% of questions while I was in nursing school so I don't wanna just read out what I already answered.. I'm not using saunders for nclex. I didn't do Kaplan but I have Kaplan qbank. I've been doing ATI questions from the website and CD & I get about 60% for my score. I'm just frustrated! Is saunder CD helpful?

i think #4 is the best answer~

thank you for ur thoughts and comments. What else i can do besides kaplan? did u do any nclex book questions too? I have saunders but i used it while i was in nursing school. Do u recommend me to buy a new one and do the questions? I also have kaplan CD (question&trainer) and each CD has about 1000 question. ( i have 2 CDs) I only get 50% on my score. (i didn't do any review yet...) I'm not doing kaplan but i have nclex prep class next week for 6 days. any comments would be appreciated it. i'm kinda lost now

Thank you. I just scheduled an interview in Feb at USC. Now, I just need to pass my NCLEX!!!

i gradutated a month ago and i'm now trying to find the position for the new grads. it's hard to find a position right now becuase it's already filled up with graduates even before our graduation. I think you should start to do job search time and it's not too early.

congrats! thank you for the great tips! it alleviates my anxiety...

thank you! :heartbeat

i heard that private school costs $6k-$9k......it is very EXPENS IVE but good thing is that there's no waiting...

Congrats!!! what did u do to prepare NCLEX?

how much is kaplan??? so is it worth?

http://wps.prenhall.com/chet_burke_medicalsur_1/ they have a couple of questions for med/surg try this website too! Good luck~

im sorry but what is SATA question? :chuckle

i graduated in Dec 2008 and haven't done anything yet for job hunting. I went on some websites to find out new grad program but it's kinda hard to find in my area. I live in LA county (California) and is there any helpful website or source to find out the new grad residency program? Do u guys know which hospital is hiring new grads at this time?
