almost an RN

Hi, Im also a new RN at a transplant unit and I just finished my 4 weeks. I have 2 more weeks to go..... this week which is nights and next week. I am sooo scared but at the same time relieved because my preceptor is driving me crazy. She is a l...

Hi, I just took my NCLEX-RN on Monday (9/27). I am going crazy waiting for the results. I can't remember where I stopped, cuz I suddenly was on a roll answering questions. What I do know is that I stopped around 225 before it shut-off. Is this bad?...

Oh my gosh.... Im jumpping up and down right now because I just saw my name in the website that I passed! It was my 2nd time and I went to 225. I just want to thank everyone for their support during the time I failed the first time. Chis- at- luc...

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the Congrat's! I start working at UCSF on Monday. Im so excited.... I don't know how to change my loggin name?!?! Help! Thanks again for listening... Lisa

Thanks for the wishes Ari RN.... I didn't tell anyone about taking the test on monday. But I found out that I PASSED!!!! Now I have good news to tell everyone.... Thanks for listening....

Im going to be taking the NCLEX at the end of June. I work to support myself but I have been studying at least 100 questions a day and reviewing each question after taking the test. I mostly studied from the Saunders book/CD and taking the online c...

Im new to this but need advice about my new job.

Oh... good then I think you should fight for what you truely believe in. There definately isn't any harm to it. Dont get me wrong .... I believe mistakes do happen....

Im not sure but I think it's pretty hard to challenge a computer based result. I think it's getting harder because they want to ensure safety as a begining nurse. My problem the first time was I came in there really nervous and suddenly I could not...

Wow isn't that out of the scope of your practice? Iv'e work as CNA throughout nursing school and I know that's out of our scope of practice. Is it different in every state?!?! The patient is fine so I wouldn't worry... If theres good documentation ...

You can check the website at ca.brn.gov.....click on to license verification and just type your name. If it shows up then your licence # will show up with RN on it. My friends had theirs show up in 2-3 days after taking it, and recieved their licenc...

Yes there is such accommodations. There are alot of other paper work you need which you can find from the BRN website. Their all verifications of your diagnosis. But they do give private rooms away from others taking the test and provide time and a...

I have good news and bad news... The bad news is I told my employers about not being being able to work as an IP anymore. But they too were so supportive and said theres always one who doesn't make it. They made me feel so good. They even offered to...

Thanks thats really helpful. Is Kaplan worth taking? Should I invest in it? I did see the Saunders book and planning to buy the book. But the Nclex is changing so Im not sure if I should wait for the new book 2004 to come out?!?!

My co-worker (who is a nurse), her husdand is a surveyer for JAHCO and he told me that this year they are more tracking the way things are done in the hosptial. For example when you get an MD order for a medication he/she will ask you what the proces...

Thanks...gij1! Im sitting here thinking exactly what you are telling me. Im thinking of a study plan. I can't really afford to take the Kaplan class... So im studing from the CDs and NCLEX books. Any advice? Thank so much for the encouragement...

Thank you NOCODE... That is so true... Everything you said... Im going to stay positive and give the same energy I gave when I got hired. They did tell me it was my energy that got them when they first interviewed me. Im going to practice tonight how...

Well... I went to orientation still with the same feeling as yesturday. But I gained alot of information. Wow... it was alot too. I wish I could have gone through the orientation before taking the test. But Im even more sorry to say I didnt pass. ...

Thank you so much for your advice. Im going to do what you say and go to my orientation tomorrow. It really helps to get advice from someone because no one knows what im going through right now. Im a very keep to yourself kind of person. Still feel...

Thanks so much for the advice. I don't have many people to talkto which is why Im blessed to have found this site. So you really think I should go huh... I just would hate to let the people who hired me down, when I fail. I feel like such a failure...

WOW...Thanks everyone for responding. I can't believe the support system here. Im a bit embaressed to tell my sad story but here goes... I took my ca. boards last tues. and had 265 yuck! questions. I knew I must of failed... I haven't seen my resu...
