  2. To Those Who Have Already Taken The NCLEX

    LuxAeternaRN replied to Rach10388's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The anxiety before testing day is INTENSE and that's putting it mildly!! When I went in, I just forced myself to NOT think of all I didn't know and just focus on answering questions the best I could....

  3. New Grad catch up

    LuxAeternaRN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    THIS EXACTLY!! I have had quite a few preceptors - my dept has hired a lot of people so we're all floating to several preceptors. Most have been great and let me do things independently. I've done...

  4. what are these yellow gowns for?

    LuxAeternaRN replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital is "Going Green" by switching over to fabric gowns - these are yellow with stripes on them. So, that could be what's going on? Maybe she was, like you said, bleeding. Regarding the blue...

  5. I feel like a complete failure

    LuxAeternaRN replied to ChinupBSNRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wish I could hug you I'm so sorry you had such an experience. As a fellow new grad, I know how awkward your first new job can be. To be treated in such a manner when you're already nervous and...

  6. Discussions always so hostile here?

    LuxAeternaRN replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    We can all learn from each other. New grads from seasoned nurses, seasoned nurses from new grads, and anyone/everyone in between. I am a new grad and try to approach experienced nurses humbly and...

    LuxAeternaRN replied to dragn2623's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I myself am a new grad and I am starting out in float pool. This week is my 3rd and I'm having a good experience so far. I will be med-surg/pcu my first year and then can train into ICUs. Definitely...

    LuxAeternaRN replied to murphyal555's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  10. is it for me?

    LuxAeternaRN replied to butterfly134's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad so I have limited advice but I'll tell you what I've experienced in oncology. My last clinical rotation was on a wonderful oncology floor and I loved it! It was a very busy floor. I...

  11. I'm a Newbie

    LuxAeternaRN replied to pattylove13's topic in General Nursing

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you just want to get your RN degree and not necessarily a BSN (Bach in Nursing). If so, your best bet might be to look at local community colleges. I would...

  12. NCLEX FREAKOUT!!

    LuxAeternaRN replied to Lucia1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sleep as much as you can tonight, put all negative thoughts aside, don't even think about the types of questions you might get or lab values, etc. Just put it all out of your mind and once you get...

  13. please nurses tell me how you did it :(

    LuxAeternaRN replied to kitty222's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I remember feeling this way during my first year. Little did I know, I actually WAS learning things and building on what I had learned. It's just overwhelming at...

  14. First job as a nurse; proud but nervous!

    LuxAeternaRN replied to CameoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Resource (float pool) so I will be floating to Med-Surg/PCUs my first year. After my first year, if all goes well (pleeeease!), I can specialize and start going into ICUs, ED, etc. What will...

    Thanks Cameo :) First day down and it went well! It was a full day of orienting to the company, finding out benefits and... *drumroll* getting that pretty little RN badge, haha. Tomorrow will be more...

  17. What motivates you to pass NCLEX?

    LuxAeternaRN replied to mzznurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Exactly this! It's a wonderful feeling to have it behind you. Speaking for myself, it was a confidence booster and I was proud of accomplishing such a difficult task! It felt good to make family proud...

  18. First job as a nurse; proud but nervous!

    LuxAeternaRN replied to CameoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Right there with you! When do you start?? My first day is tomorrow. It does cause you to feel extremely thankful for this new grad RN opportunity. I keep telling myself several things and I'll tell...

  19. How long did you study?

    LuxAeternaRN replied to shescoolie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I studied about two and a half weeks total. One week was consistent and that's all I did. Just took mine two weeks ago and passed. I was worried and came close to rescheduling, but I think it may be...

  23. My mom is 54, has been in RN and now LPN school for 4 years. Please help.

    LuxAeternaRN replied to thebestmom's topic in General Students

    Why did they deny her after telling her they would credit her with 6 months? I'm sorry she's going through this Rather than starting over with the 2-year LPN program, I would suggest looking at...

  24. Can someone please provide me NCLEX exam questions?

    LuxAeternaRN replied to girlie1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As one poster previously stated, it's against the terms to give you examples of what we've been tested on. I will, however, tell you what I used! This website had free Kaplan questions:...
