I recently transferred to my hospital's level IV NICU from adult world and I have to say I KNOW I made the right decision. I love it there. It's like night and day compared to my old unit and all for the better. Some people automatically think "I can...

I've been working for almost a year now and I know this comes with time, but I still feel awful about my IV skills. I can put an IV in if the pt has really good juicy veins, but otherwise, I can't feel where I'm supposed to be putting an iv....I have...

I got done in a little less than 2 hours (1st break hadn't been given yet) and came straight home (about 10 minutes away) and got the good popup. That was stressful! Now to wait and hope on the official results!! I already had a job so I am so thankf...

I had read story after story after story of the new grad nurse having the breakdown on the way home after a particularly bad day/week or heck even every day on some units! Reading it so much, I guess I'm not surprised I finally had my day. I precep...

My staff nursing position requires a 4 week notice. I think it's starting to become more common.

It's official! I did pass!!!!!!!

I studied with Hurst and did Kaplan questions. It was less than 20 minutes from when I finished my test to when I did the trick.

You should do the pearsonvue trick (or have someone else do it for you!) I couldn't wait! I am still kinda not wanting to celebrate until I officially hear, but a lot of my classmates have had their names on the BON the next day so hopefully tomorrow...

I graduated in Dec and got a job a few days later. I started orientation Jan 14 and took my NCLEX Jan 30. So you don't have to have a license number or anything to APPLY for jobs. I didn't even have my temp license when I applied. I got it only about...

So thankful it's over and I've passed! NOW the craziness starts with studying for the NCLEX. I have a job interview tomorrow. I'm so excited and nervous!! I am praying I get this job and then can JUST worry about the NCLEX instead of trying to get a ...

I GOT THE JOB!!!!! WHOOHOO!!! I'm so thankful to have had such an amazing week. Graduating, interview, job offer. Now I just need to pass the NCLEX. I feel so blessed and am wishing everyone GREAT luck on their classes, job searches, and interviews. ...

Not in a million years, Miiki! I think I'd go

I agree with this.

HAHA I had to make a 57 to pass and a 76 to get a B. I said I had a stress free final, but OMG the stress that I had during and after the final was insane. I mean, logically you know it's totally possible to pass - almost impossible to fail w/o just ...

Congrats!! I just passed and am THRILLED! It's an awesome feeling!

I just took my last test of nursing school and passed! This last semester has been the hardest by far. I think it was just so much crammed into 4 short months! It also didn't help that I had to work full time on top of clinicals, precepting, and test...

This is my final semester of nursing school. This has been the most difficult few weeks I've had all through nursing school. We have more clinicals this semester, the preceptorship, and on top of it the material is so much harder. I do understand it'...

Just an update...I am completely done with everything except one final that I take next Tuesday. After all the blood, sweat, and tears this semester I only have to make a 55 on my final to pass. If I get a 74 or greater I'll have a B in the class. I'...

This is our school's first year to do a Sim Lab. I'm literally get nauseated thinking about having to do mine later this month! I am terrible at role playing and pretend! I know the best thing is to just "forget" it's not real and just act like it's ...

Yes, I 100% would consider this cheating. Anytime you have an advantage on a test and whatever advantage isn't offered to everyone (ie teacher saying everyone can use notes on a test) then I could consider that cheating.

Aww, Eternally grateful for nurses like you. That would be the best way to describe my dad when he was in the hospital before he passed and you are right - heart of gold under the gruff exterior. Some nurses took the time and got to see and understan...

It was much needed. I suggest everyone do that soon! I work full time and attend a night/weekend nursing school. My clinicals just ended for this semester. I will still have tests and classes through mid December, but at least I have completed the cl...
