  1. New here, need your help

    AcosmicRN replied to chrysalus1003's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It doesn't matter what percentage you are getting on the practice tests. It doesn't matter at all. All that matters is that you review your wrong answers (and your right ones, too), and gain the...

  2. What Really Scares Me

    AcosmicRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took the NCLEX-RN today and it shut off at 75. I'm not dumb. I was in the top 5% of my class. I love nursing, and I eat up everything about it. But I'm still scared, because as we all know from...

  3. Senior administration working a shift/month

    AcosmicRN replied to 2rntish's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, how does this quick reply thing work?

  4. Senior administration working a shift/month

    AcosmicRN replied to 2rntish's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but I disagree. I don't want administrators on my floor doing CNA work. It's not their job, they're probably not that good at it, and they really need to be busy doing what they are hired to do...

  5. Just took NCLEX

    AcosmicRN replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just took my NCLEX today, as well. It shut off at 75, too. And it sounds just like the test you took. I won't even bother describing it, because it sounds so similar. But did we pass? I've heard...

  6. I test on Monday the 7th

    AcosmicRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I test on June 7th, and I'm really quite worried. I wasn't worried when I first graduated on May 12th, but now that it is at hand, I feel the weight of it. All that I have gone through comes down to...

  7. failed nclex-rn

    AcosmicRN replied to nurseguy74's topic in General Nursing

    One of my goals as I enter my 40's is to always resist the urge to tell younger people how easy they have it--especially when they just failed the NCLEX. Just a personal goal I have set for myself....

  8. I just graduated!!!!!!

    AcosmicRN replied to unknown99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good for you! Onward and

  9. I test on Monday the 7th

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks,

  10. I test on Monday the 7th

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey Rachel. You and I are in the same neck of the woods. I'm taking my test in Mobile. Good luck to you on Monday, and to me. Just think, if we pass this thing, it's all over. No matter what other...

  11. Will Non-BSN nurses ever be fired?

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input, everyone. It's just that I hated nursing school so much, and not just the instructors or the schedule or the assanine tests, but I hated the administration, the clerk in the...

  12. failed nclex-rn

    AcosmicRN replied to nurseguy74's topic in General Nursing

    Man, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear you have to wait until Sept. Can I ask you a couple of questions, though? It's not really for me (I take the NCLEX on Monday) it's for all the future nursing...

  13. How long do you think this nursing shortage will last?

    AcosmicRN replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    Started with 51 in an ADN program, 22 graduated. The 51 that started level one came from about 2 or 3 hundred AP 1 students. I figure only half that 22 have the personality to work two years as a...

  14. I think I am going to crack up...

    AcosmicRN replied to mother/babyRN's topic in General Nursing

    This string is very disconcerting for me, because I have no solution. Really, no one in here has a solution--they only have what worked for them, and maybe that's what's being solicited. Maybe in...

  15. Inappropriate relationship with pt?

    AcosmicRN replied to DeeDee*'s topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Even innocent flirting is bad. Even remarks positive or negative about the attractiveness of a patient is bad. If I've been telling a female patient how pretty she is, I am telling her that it is...

  16. Does it help being a CNA in Nursing School?

    AcosmicRN replied to alexsb1116's topic in General Nursing

    Working as a CNA on holidays, summers, PRN will give you depth of knowledge. One person said that there is a lot more to nursing than code browns; true. But there is a lot more to nursing than just...

  17. Does it help being a CNA in Nursing School?

    AcosmicRN replied to alexsb1116's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to be negative here, but I don't believe it's a good idea to work and go to school. Summers, yes. Holiday PRN, yes, but generally, part of the expense of going to nursing school is the...

  18. All Bad Nurses - Please Stand Up

    AcosmicRN replied to bcelzo's topic in General Nursing

    A "Good" nurse, in my opinion, has all the good qualities: patience, kindness, humility, empathy, competence, and efficiency even when patients, coworkers and MDs are rude to them or when they feel...

  19. Scared of NCLEX

    AcosmicRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I take the NCLEX-RN on the 7th, and I'm scared. I thought I wasn't, but as the day draws closer I feel scared. I got an A in level 1, a 93.4% overall in level 2, an A in level 3 and a B in level 4. I...

  20. Scared of NCLEX

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, all, for the encouragement. They say if I take the test on the 7th, I'll probably know if I passed or failed that Friday. We'll see. When I know if I passed or failed, I'll come back and...
