I did it, I passed! I took the test on Tues at 10am and found out on Wed at 9:30am, while I was at work. My boss told me! We were all jumping around and screaming, even the patients were excited. I had 75 questions, and I felt good about how I did w...

I really love Med/Surg. Granted some days are tough, but aren't they anywhere?? I have learned and continue to learn so much. I look back to 7 months ago when I started on the floor and I just smile. I have learned to prioritize like nobodies busines...

I have only been a RN for a month and I work quite the variety of shifts. 3a-3p, 3p-3a, 7a-3p, 7p-7a. And I have to say I absolutely love it!! I am learning so much about the flow of each shift and I think it is really helping develop into a profess...

way to go!! great feeling isn't it. hats off to you new rn!! :roll boy we got great vibes don't we!

Just to add with what has been said. Yes it is for a 2 week pay period. Each 0.1 equals 8 hours. So 0.7 x 8 = 56 hours/pay period, 0.6 x 8 = 48 hours/ pay period, and 0.3 = 24 hours/pay period. It took me awhile to get used to this lingo, now I find ...

Hello everyone, I am about to start my orientation on the Med/Surg floor this next week. I graduated in Dec, and am scheduled to take my boards on Jan. 24th. I have worked on this floor for 3 1/2 years as a CNA and nurse intern, the last 6 months h...

I had this very same type of error, I totally missed one, it was a lovenox injection. I had given the pt their other 2000 meds but for some reason missed this one and didn't catch it until 6am the next morning at the end of my shift. I was absolutely...

Thank you all so much for your advice. I do feel comfortable on the floor and with the staff. I am on my fourth week now and it is going really well, a few weeks ago I actually had to ask my preceptor when it was that I handled the load myself becaus...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well it shut off at 75, I was really hoping it would. :imbar It seemed to have quite a variety, OB, Peds, Psych, Pharm, disease processes, Infection control, and lots ...

Nursekimmi- I sympathize with you. I was worried before the test about what if I failed, I have been on my floor for over 3 years and I did not want to face any one if I were to fail. I felt good after the test but I did not tell anyone at work, I ju...

I used Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination, it comes with a disk for the computer as well. The ISBN # is 0-7216-0347-5 Hope that helps, best of luck with the rest of your last semester!!

I did it, I passed! I took the test on Tues at 10am and found out on Wed at 9:30am, while I was at work. My boss told me! We were all jumping around and screaming, even the patients were excited. I want to thank everyone here for there support and g...

I graduated in Dec and we had to take the ATI NLCEX predictor in order to graduate. Needless to say everyone was, well just as you explain. But in all honesty it wasn't bad. I can say that now having done it. I did not study ATI books, just did some ...

And please keep me in your thoughts and prayers for tomorrow Jan 24th at 10am! I will be sitting in front of that wonderful computer proving my knowledge for the NCLEX-RN. Here's to success! Thanks guys, I will be praying for all those facing the sam...

Well it shut off at 75, I was really hoping it would. :imbar It seemed to have quite a variety, OB, Peds, Psych, Pharm, disease processes, Infection control, and lots of priority. I had one multiple/multiple, and no med calculations. I left feeling...

I took the RN NCLEX this morning and I had a handful of psych questions, I can't say how many exactly?? But they were in there. One med, and then the rest where you have this pt with such and such mental illness, how would you respond in ??? situatio...

Working there for 1 1/2 years, you are by no means impatient. I would speak to the manager again and express your eagerness to learn and become a well-rounded nurse and if they decline this request, I would look for other employment. If you are not h...

I graduate with my ADN in Nursing this December and there have been a few job postings at the hospital I work as an intern at. Human resources there have told me that it is too early to apply. But will not tell me when a good time to apply is. :ston...

Our school requires 56 hours of preceptorship. They supply a list of choices(all the different facilities and their specialties) which we sign up for by a lottery system, meaning we draw a number, lowest number chooses where they want first. They als...
