    OlivetheRN replied to newgradnurse914's topic in Emergency

    When I interviewed for the new grad job I got in the ED, the only one that I can think of that she asked me that other floors didn't was to relay a time when I kept my cool in an emergent situation....

    Anyone take NCLEX recently who used NCLEX-RN 10,000 - Powered by PrepU?

    OlivetheRN replied to sillypuddy143's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OlivetheRN replied to Jrwilliams's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OlivetheRN replied to Nazzerena's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I definitely had the "Uhhhh...what the bloody !#*& was that?!?!" when I left. And pretty much all through the test. I wouldn't say it was incredibly difficult, more that it just wasn't what I was...
