I am in desperate need of advice with regards to finding a job as an RN. I am a recent grad, licensed since October and since then have been applying to every hospital I know around me in NJ. Unfortunately nothing has turned up, zip, nada. Before I ...

Unfortunately no. Again I just barely made it out of my teens, enrolling in nursing school at 17 and graduating at 20, so surely anyone wouldn't expect me to have bills to pay. My focus was mainly on doing well and passing so getting an odd job at th...

Nclex style questions. Do thousands of them. I did 200 random questions on my laptop everyday from July to Sept, reviewing both the correct and incorrect rationales. And no its not true, Shahsa, I found the Saunders CD to be the bulk of my reason fo...
Hey, all. My exam is this tuesday and the things that I've been feeling for the past few days has been excruciating torture. In fact, for the past several nights I wasn't able to sleep and would sometimes breakdown and cry (and I'm a guy for crying ...

Any data that cannot be observed directly, measured or verified is considered subjective. A client, for example, stating he/she is in pain is subjective since pain cannot be directly observed BUT if a measure is applied (a 0-10 pain scale and locat...

:stone Well...its done. But...I honestly don't know what to think. I arrived at the test center, said a small prayer, went with the exam (holy !#@$ so many SATA) and finished at 75 questions, which means that I either passed with flying colors or bom...

Well. Tomorrow's the big day. Went to church on Sunday, prayed for the Holy Ghost to sit beside me at the center, relaxed and played video games all day today, and prayed once more. Do I still feel anxious? Hell !@#$ing yes, but I no longer feel afra...
HolyNameChild7 replied to HolyNameChild7's topic in NCLEX
Thank you. Maybe you're right. Despite being told not to I've been trying to cram pharm and fuzzy content that I know I'm already familiar with and do feel like I'm starting to burn out and lose it. I'll give myself a break today, relax, watch a mov...

Hello and pardon me; I'm new here :imbar. I plan to take the RN boards on the 23rd and the level of anxiety right now is killer. Fortunately I've been studying religiously since July with a myriad of study tools to prepare myself, with items such as...
HolyNameChild7 replied to Effervescent's topic in NCLEX
Thats a question I'd also like to know. I've been able to get a good 75-85% correct on the study questions I use from Saunders and Kaplan but I'm still not convinced. God help me...
