afield

I just completed my first week of being an RN. I work at a long-term care home where I have up to 24 patients at one time. Everyday feels different, sometimes I feel like WOW, this is great and other times I feel like I don't wanna go back. Is this normal for a new grad? I feel like I will never learn the ropes and:scrying: Im just not cut out to be a nurse.

PS... THE TRICK WORKS!

WHOOOO HOOO I passed!!!!! Both my friend & I took the NCLEX together and both tried PVT and we both just found out we PASSED!!!! Good luck out there, if I can pass anyone can pass!

I also took my test on the 28th of July and haven't heard anything yet. Im convinced that I failed bc I got up to 240 questions, ran out of time, and didn't know what the hell I was doing. I felt like I didn't know ANYTHING!I remembered the PVT, and got the pop up, but Im still super anxious. I It's hours until my 48h is up and I can check Quick Results. Oh the agony!

Im taking mine July 28th, Im going to pass. Confidence, stay positive, Confidence, stay Positive..:thnkg:

hhmmm... I think I better email, call, or do something about not getting my ATT... I want it already! Im totally a procrastinator and so that's what im trying to avoid, I just really want to know when Im going to take the dang test! Good luck!

Thanks! 2-3 is great to hear!!! i read somewhere like 9 hours a day.. WHAT!!!! That's crazy. I've been doing 3 hours in the morning and maybe 1 hour in the afternoon. It gets really tiring after awhile and I feel like Im just reading stuff & nothing is processing!

I just graduated a few weeks back & studying with Saunders as well. I did the monthly calendar thing, & also went to RNQuiz.com which I use for practice questions. I haven't received my ATT yet but Im hoping for Mid-July or Early Aug. at the latest. Good Luck on studying, Im finding it to be very difficult to concentrate...

can you see that Im pre-occupied by my horrendous title mistake.. Im over it & didnt even start studying!

Hi everyone, I just graduated about 3 weeks ago & Im having the hardest time concentrating. I know I need to study hard & "get on it" but I feel every time I study that I will never retain this.. Do you guys have any suggestions on studying?? Hours/days?? Just an NCLEX book & review questions??? HELP~!!!!!!
