    Just finished first year... asked to redo orientation

    Savvy20RN replied to morningland's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Memory issue aside, why did they allow you to finish a year before telling you that you were missing the small stuff? Seems kind of late I

    Savvy20RN replied to FreckledCoffeeRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You are definitely not alone. I've thought about quitting my job almost every day since starting. I switched to the night shift on my unit thinking that it would help and now I just feel drained and...

    I'm tired of it!

    Savvy20RN replied to sunnyskies9's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, yes, yes! I dislike when patients and their families wait until after the doctor leaves and then come up with 10,000 questions they should have asked the doc before they left. They then ask you...

    How long did it take before you received your NCLEX RN results?

    Savvy20RN replied to ilove's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't receive my official letter with my license number until 2 weeks after I took the exam I believe. I can't really remember, but it wasn't 2-3 days. I checked the BON website and saw my license...

    To Those Who Have Already Taken The NCLEX

    Savvy20RN replied to Rach10388's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I leaned back in my chair, closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When the first question popped up on the screen my heart started racing like crazy. This was even before I started reading the thing....

    I have until morning to reschedule...

    Savvy20RN replied to sr0273's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree. You'll never feel 100% ready. I didn't feel ready, but I just had to take it. Rescheduling wasn't an option. My sister drove me on her last vacation day since I suck at reading maps and...

    Savvy20RN replied to tojal1989's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, this is hard. What do they expect you to bring? I brought my resume with me but they never asked to see it. I honestly don't know. I wasn't told to bring anything. Maybe you can bring...

    Savvy20RN replied to Rach10388's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First, take a deep breath!! Relax. Only you will know if you're ready and even then you may not feel entirely prepared to take the exam. It's normal. Many of us just have to suck it up and take the...

    Question for Those that Passed and LaCharity

    Savvy20RN replied to HappyMeNow's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't do the case studies in La Charity. I did all of the other questions however. I had a hard time answering the questions in the book because some of them contradicted other questions. I missed...

    Is nclex more like Saunders or Kaplan?

    Savvy20RN replied to JM RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't use Kaplan so I don't know if it's like the NCLEX or not. I don't believe anyone in my class did either. We all studied Saunders and as far as I can tell everyone who has taken the exam has...
