Hello allnurses! I was wondering if you might be able to give a new RN some advice about PACU nursing. I was hired into a PACU nursing residency position in an acute care setting. I know that I will probably learn the most while on the job, but I wo...

Soprano, I'm excited for you too!!! Let us know how it goes? I'm excited to hear about it! A lot of us are about to step into that "new RN" role and it's definitely something that we can share in too. :) I also agree - it feels totally surreal to...

ZEEEEEE!!! Congrats on getting that home health job like you wanted! :laugh: That was so quick! I remember just a week ago you were talking about it... and wow! That's fantastic! I'm so excited for you! :)

BIG CONGRATS to Tokyo, Festinvil, and Vlasta on passing the NCLEX! I'm so happy for all of you!

Ahhh, I'm so excited to hear about everyone's new jobs/lives! You all are going off to do AMAZING things! I have been super crazy busy looking for an apartment, packing, and moving. I waited until after I was sure that I passed the NCLEX to get a...

Oh, I just looked and mine is up there too! Thank you for posting!

Thank you both for your advice so much. This has given me a lot of information to lookup, think about, and digest. I really appreciate you offering your experience and guidance to me, and taking the time to respond! :)

Nurse-in-the-making2, missnurse792, and ashely82828 -- CONGRATULATIONS! Way to go, RNs! :D:D I agree that this thread has been hugely motivational and uplifting. You are all amazing. :)

I think it's good that it ended on one that you know you got right! I'm holding good thoughts for you! :)

I really can't recommend UWorld enough. I used quite a few sources while studying for the NCLEX, but UWorld was far and away my favorite. They offer a 1 week free trial (you get access to their entire test bank), and then you can choose to renew if...

Got my fingers crossed for you and holding good thoughts! :)

Congrats on your job Soprano, that's AMAZING! I'll also be starting on a critical care unit. Zee, I went the nurse residency route as well. I applied to some non-residencies as well, but ended up accepting the residency position that was offered to...

Yep! I have been through the FULL range of emotions today. I just want to give you all a HUGE GIANT HUG! It has honestly been great to have you ladies to go through this together with, thank you for being such amazing support! And congrats to ev...

Congrats yaneau! We did it! :)

I passed! I FREAKIN' PASSED! I felt good about it, but man, it wasn't real until I actually saw it... I still had that inkling of doubt in the back of my mind. I'm so relieved!

I don't know the wait time for Ohio since I live in IL, sorry. You might be able to search and see what other Ohio test takers have said. But I know that Ohio participates in quick results... so at the very most, it'll be roughly 48 hours. I know ...

We're almost there! This wait is seriously killing me too.

Please do! :) You got this!

I couldn't agree more with those who have advised you to take a small break. I hit a wall several times while studying for the NCLEX. Give yourself time to relax and stay sane. After each break, I felt rejuvenated and ready to start studying again...

I'm right there with you. I'll be checking in around 2pm with news... hopefully. Still nothing on Continental Testing.

bullinsl5725, CONGRATULATIONS! :) Way to go!

RN SOPRANO!!! CONGRATS!!! I'm so happy for you! :) You did it! And you knew you rocked it too.

Just wanted to say, LaCharity was a huge help to me with prioritization questions! So glad that I used it.

Yep, totally us!

Yes, it really helped me! If you're not sure, UWorld offers a free week trial. That way you can do a few hundred questions and see what the entire test bank is like without having to pay first. I also had the Kaplan QBank, but honestly... I love U...
