I took care of a 28yo male pt. last night that was in sickle cell crisis. He is what they call at my hospital "a frequent flyer". He was previously hospitalized for 2 weeks and was discharged last Friday. He was readmitted Monday in another crisis. H...

I am sure that you passed. I got around 120 questions and like you, I felt as if I had failed because my test didn't cut off at 75 questions. It doesn't matter how many questions you get...that doesn't mean anything...it is the level of difficulty o...

Thanks for all the responses. I did call her back. I never said that I wasn't going to call her back but I was really taking the time to make up my mind if I was going to work for her or not. I had decided that I wasn't going to work when I called h...

Hello. I have really hard time telling anyone no. One of my coworkers (whom we are also good friends...we went through nursing school together) is needing someone to work for her tomorrow night(Saturday night). She told me this at work last night ...

Thanks for the advice. I didn't tell her last night that I would work for her b/c we both thought that since it would be overtime I wouldn't be able to work for her. I also didn't tell her that I couldn't. But my one problem with all of this is that ...

The instructors made a big deal about the NCLEX review classes. I was only about 1 out of 5 out of my class that decided not to take the review class. I really didn't have the money plus I have always been a great self=motivated studier. I studied u...

I also had around 116-120 questions and passed. Relax and go do something to get your mind off of the test. Good luck!!

I work on a 27 bed floor. I usually have 3 or 4 pts., sometimes 5. We are total care, no CNAs or techs. Our new CEO is about to change staffing to 6-7pts per nurse with no CNAs or techs...I think that I might have to think about changing jobs with th...

I passed with 120 questions. Good luck on your exam!!

I graduated in May 2005. Although I do work nights, I vary rarely have to work a whole weekend. Matter of fact, in December I didn't work any weekend days...even got Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Years Night off! This schedul...

Take everything one day at a time. Tackle one task at a time. Does your school have a practice lab? Mine did. I, along with a couple of friends used to stay after class and practice for check offs. If we ever had a question if we were doing somethin...

Thank you for all the replies. I worked last night and took care of this pt. again. His pain was somewhat better. The doctor did d/c Zofran yesterday and given Phenergan IV PRN. i think that is what made the pain more tolerable. I also gave hom 2 un...

I love Dickies!! They are so cute!! Also wear Landau and Cottonality!

I work on Medical unit. We also use the cordless telephone and are required to write our numbers on the white board in the room. I very rarely have a patient call me on the phone, they mostly use the call light. I think that I would actually prefer ...

Went to work last night and no email or anything. Nothing said about the pt. at all. Looked in the computer and MD sent pt. home last Friday! Thanks again for all the opinions!

I am a new RN of approx. 5 months. I work on the Medical floor normally night shift. I worked Tuesday night and I had this pt.--he is 38 years old, quadraplegic, has a suprapubic catheter, turn and reposition q2hrs and family that threatens to sue e...

I work on a Medical floor and have usually 4 pts. sometimes 5. That sounds pretty good but we are total care...no tech to do VS, I&O's, wts, diaper changes, etc. The nurse does it all...gets pretty rough sometimes with 3 or 4 total care pts. in d...

Thanks to everyone for your opinions! They are well appreciated. The more and more I think about it I believe in my heart that I did the right thing. I go back to work tomorrow night so I will have to wait until then to see what happened the next d...

I definitely know hou you are feeling! I just graduated in May of this year and the feelings that you describe was exactly the same way that I felt last year at this time. I am 31 and a daughter, sister, mother, and wife, and will always say that nur...

Congratulations!!

I took the test in June and passed with 120 questions. I read that lots of people on here passed with the whole 265 questions! I wouldn't stress too much over the number of questions that you received. The unique thing about the NCLEX is that you se...

Congratulations to all that passed!!!

I wanting to add that thinking the test was hard is actually a good sign!! Good luck!!
