well i sucked it up and did the pvt trick...got the good pop up! hope its accurate.

ruby- what kind of questions did you get? i took the nclex at 8am and got 75 questions but afraid to check the pearson vue trick lol. i feel very confident which makes me very nervous :/

When did u test?

I should try the pvt but I'm very scared to! Ahhh

Just took nclex comp shut off 75 questions.. a lot of priorotization delegations sata drag and drop... nervous that I failed ahhh

Good luck! We got this :)

Taking the nclex Monday and I'm slightly freaking out! Ahhhhh

i graduated may 17th and just got my att today. at our university, we had to send a certificate of graduation to our board of nursing. i would call your board of nursing.

thank you everyone! it just takes dedication, time and commitment. with those things anything is possible. dont let anything get you down, and just pick yourself back up when you fall. dont read your books from start to end .. there is no way enough time for that. go off the powerpoints in class and use the book as a review for what you need to know more of. if you can commit yourself to this you got it. but dont forget to take time out for you. take time out for family, friends, dinner, drinks etc. youre gonna need it :)

i DID IT. I passed nursing school!!!! One more exam until I am a RN :)

thans everyone for your replies. traveling nursing you need atleast a year experience, and believe me I have already looked into that and it is something I would be interested in once i get some acute care experince. The hospital I currently work at as a CNA does offer a new grad program, but it so competitive with hundreds of applicants and they only take about 10 new grads so I am just leaving my options open. I would love to work in Boston as well, (i live abt a hr from there) but it so competitive and it is so hard to get a job in a hospital setting if you are not already in! Guess I am going to focus on finishing school, and then search the job market when im done.

so basically, i graduate nursing school in May and I am so pumped!... but there is def a shortage of jobs in Mass over here where I am from. im sure everywhere there are shortages, some just moreso than others. But i really just want to get out of my comfort zone and explore opportunities regardless where they might be. I have nothing "tying" me to MA - no kids, no boyfriend etc. I would love to just apply for any job in the USA and wherever I get hired just move there .. and explore life. Has anyone ever done anything similar? It sounds so much fun, but yet so crazy in a way. lol just wanted oppinions.

i agree you cant use a medical dx for a r/t. you might be able to say risk for infection r/t fever or something along those lines. but theres a million dx you can use just for postpartum itself. there does not have to be a medical dx to formulate a nursing dx. for example you could use acute pain, knowledge deficit, risk for injury, Ineffective Coping (Depending on the situation) these are just a few.

i agree with rubato. i am in my 2nd year of nursing school. i maintain a social life with friends, family, etc and i get adequate amt of sleep each night. im a little stressed, but nothing i cant handle. surely i have been more stressed over other things rather than school. i honestly feel you need to maintain a social life in order to stay sain. i dont want to BURN OUT before i even become a nurse
