CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm almost done with the first tip. i wanted to do it twice before i dove into the second part of the plan. hopefully, it works for me. i'm testing in mid-December.

i think the fact that you feel this way is a good sign. a lot of people, from what i've heard, go into the hospital with false confidence. in nursing, you learn everyday. from many of my friends who are now nurses, i've heard to keep asking questions, a lot of the stuff just comes with time.

my friend who has been an rn for almost a year now has actually lost weight because she feels a bit overwhelmed about everything. that, and because she's really trying to lose weight. lol. she did gain a bit, but now she's lost well over 10lbs. i hope when i start, i stay the same as when i began.

i think honesty is the best way to go. patients will appreciate your honesty and your warmth more than a lie. your supervisor maybe says this in order to not embarrass you and to make the pt feel a bit more at ease. so, i think that both work, but dishonesty never does. what you do is good, it lets the pt feel a bit more comfortable with you because you're being honest, and they feel okay that you went and got help, and they feel reassured that someone CAN get a line in. honesty is best, in my opinion.

i know this is an old post, but i would like to comment. i don't think we made a mistake in becoming nurses, i just think it takes time in getting the hang of things. hopefully, once i pass my nclex, i'll be able to say the same when i start working.

this is actually a very interesting question. does anyone know the answer? i was thinking more along the lines of diabetic teaching, but not quite RD.

how long did it take everyone who is doing suzanne4's first tip to finish it??? it's taking me a loooong time! i'm almost done, though, and i'll be sending for my att as soon as i'm done doing her first tip.

is anybody working on suzanne's plan? the first tip is taking forever to finish. lol. i'm almost done, though, so i will be doing her plan soon. i'm excited. :)

i didn't know you could take both exams almost at the same time?? how does that work? if you go to rn nursing school, you can take both tests? just wondering. :)

Man, it is taking me a while to finish suzanne4's first tip! i'll probably take the exam around this time, but I'm glad I've yet to send in my application for my att because i really want to pass the first try and i want to use suzanne4's plan in order to do that. i see from a lot of people that she's very strict, so i'm trying to do this the way she wants it done in order to be eligible for it. i'm glad i found this site. :)

cONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING MALENURSESROCK!!!! I might use kaplan but i'm thinking about using the mod suzanne's plan. did you happen to use it?

you have your att already???? wow! how did you manage that? i sent for mine about two days ago and they told me it could be up to 4 weeks before i get mine. yeah, i keep hearing that the sooner you take the exam, the better, which is why i sent for my att already. learningtext? i've never heard of that. could you tell me what that is? :) i'm looking for things to study for the nclex and the posts that i've seen here keep talking about kaplan and saunders and suzanne's plan. i don't know who suzanne is. does anyone know? thank you. :)

hi everyone!! I'm thinking that I mighttake my nclex in july. does anyone have any advice on what to study in order to take it? and who is suzanne4?? i keep seeing people talking about her. thank you!!
