So Wednesday night I started having a low grade fever (99.6 F), body aches, chills, sinus drainage, and fatigue. I was off Thursday and Friday with the same symptoms. I was encouraged by my other nurse friends to call in sick today so I did. I still ...

I am an RN living in Ohio and am moving to Louisiana - so I cannot visit whenever I want to. How can I let potential future employers know that I am serious about wanting a job? Should I write a cover letter to help explain my situation? Or explain m...

I don't know about everyone else, but with all the stress that we put up with being nurses, whenever I make a patient smile or have one tell me "Thank you for being my nurse today" it makes it all worth it. Today I had a elderly woman patient with a...

I had an ex boyfriend who liked to try to talk about things he had no clue about to make himself sound smart. He came over to my grandparents' house one Christmas for dinner and proceeded to tell my grandma (who was a proper southern lady) about the ...

Hey everyone! I'm scheduled to take my NCLEX-RN for the 3rd time (uughhh) in a couple weeks. I'll admit the 1st time I took it I didn't study as much as I should have, but the 2nd time I worked sooo hard and ended up with 265 questions. I've been stu...

I've had 2 interviews since I've passed NCLEX-RN, but both have been unsuccessful. I received an e-mail the DAY OF my last interview telling me I was not chosen for the position. I hadn't checked my e-mail yet when I called a few days after my interv...

When I had 265 questions my second time, I was starting to get burnt out. Around question 200 I stopped analyzing the questions so much because I was over it. I wish I would have known this before!! Oh well, at least now I know if it happens to me ag...

Check out this post: study checklist for passing NCLEX-RN. It has a study-guide type thing for NCLEX and it's pretty helpful. It's someone's opinion of what to study, but it still gives a good idea of what's important. If you're starting to feel ove...

even though it is your opinion of what to study, i hope you realize what a big help it is for those of us who feel completely lost as to what to study! thanks again!

You're welcome! Good luck on your test! Just try to stay confident!

I've been out of school since June last year, and May 3rd I take NCLEX for the 3rd time. The first time I took boards it was right out of school, and all I wanted to do that summer was relax, so needless to say I didn't study as much as I should have...

I don't need to send it as a message, I was trying to post it on here so everyone could see it. Whenever I try to submit it, a green screen comes up and tells me that I need to log out, close my browser page, and open a new one and log back in. I've ...

applereyes : i keep trying to post a reply as to what i'm studying, but for some reason it won't let me. do u have an email or something i can try to send it to?

I am taking my test for the 3rd time on May 3rd. I need all the prayers I can get! I've been reviewing my Saunders book and using the Saunders CD for review questions. Today I actually started hanging up pieces of paper with random information in my ...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for the pathophysiology behind the signs and symptoms of UTIs for a careplan. I've looked in all my books and I've looked at a few sites online, but I can't find any that have what I'm looking for. I'm specifically looking f...
