    c.kelly20 replied to c.kelly20's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you so much everyone. I'm glad to hear that it isn't just me! I just wish I knew how to better control my anxiety. My dad thinks I need to talk to my doctor and explain how anxious the job is...

  3. Hating my job

    c.kelly20 replied to c.kelly20's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you so much. I have so much doubt in myself, wondering if I just don't like the unit I'm on or if nursing just isn't for me. But I truly think it's the unit. I hope I can tough it out for 6-12...

    c.kelly20 replied to Tooimpatient's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just wanted to comment and say that I'm in an identical situation! I recently graduated and was one of few to be offered a job before graduation on a med/surg floor. I worked as an aide during...

    c.kelly20 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just wanted to share my own experience and hope it will benefit other new nurses. I recently passed the NCLEX-RN and started my job on a med/surg unit. I knew going in that this job wouldn't be an...

    c.kelly20 replied to shakedwnst924's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am also a new med surg and starting my job next week. I have the worry that I will be the same way! I was hesitant to take a medsurg position because of the patient load, but I'm hoping it will...

  10. I am trying to get out of nursing. My parents will feel terrible if I do.

    c.kelly20 replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Consider yourself lucky with that schedule. I have to wake up at 4:30, drive an hour away from home to get to my work, work 12 and a half hours, get off at 7:30, and if I'm lucky and can beat traffic,...

    c.kelly20 replied to c.kelly20's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you so much! 99% of the nurses I've been in contact with through nursing school or where I worked as an aide were great, so I'm hoping my new place of employment will be just the same! I...

  15. Passed NCLEX!

    c.kelly20 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took NCLEX yesterday for the first time and after 165 questions and 3 hours, the computer shut off. I was nervous about this number because I still realistically had 100 left to go. I did the PVT...

  16. Passed NCLEX!

    c.kelly20 replied to c.kelly20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, probably about 95% of my preparation was solely from the Saunders book/disc. For me, it depended on the topic that I was focusing on-- if I did poorly on the book quiz, I would review, then do a...

  17. Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

    c.kelly20 replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The PVT is accurate in every instance for me and my fellow classmates (pass AND fail). But, it's technology and can't always be 100% reliable. You should always check the state website anyway for the...

  18. Help with understanding question rationale

    c.kelly20 replied to splendid's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It might be a mistake. I have one of those books too and found a few type-o's... Such as all 4 multiple choice answers being "incorrect" and not telling me the correct one. Good

  19. Passed NCLEX!

    c.kelly20 replied to c.kelly20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They actually seemed pretty easy, and I'm usually awful at them too. Who knows if I got them right or not, haha. But, they really didn't seem as bad as I expected them to be! A friend of mine tested...

  20. Passed NCLEX!

    c.kelly20 replied to c.kelly20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks! I had about 25 SATA and a ton of priority. I used Saunders Comprehensive Review book and disc. I didn't review a lot of content, just did questions daily and read the rationales. The test...

  21. My NCLEX Tips, Hoping to Benefit the Readers

    c.kelly20 replied to elievalkyrie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX yesterday also and completely agree with all of this. Continuing to remind myself that they are just testing me on basic competence is what kept my anxiety at bay during the exam....

  22. Taking NCLEX next week

    c.kelly20 replied to c.kelly20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took a predictor test at the end of nursing school and scored a 91% chance of passing NCLEX on the first try, and I didn't study for it. Thanks for your

  23. Taking NCLEX next week

    c.kelly20 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've been a member of AN now throughout my time in nursing school and have found it to be extremely helpful and reassuring when I thought I was going to go nuts! The time for me to take NCLEX has...

  24. Taking NCLEX next week

    c.kelly20 replied to c.kelly20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know. And I am. What do you mean by above the line concepts? It's too late for me to do Kaplan and I don't really have the money for that anyway. I've known people that still failed with it....

  25. Taking NCLEX next week

    c.kelly20 replied to c.kelly20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you. I was told by a nurse I work with that if you're scoring 60-65% correct, you're golden. So I think my score is pretty good but I'm still nervous. I do use other assessment tests, such as...
