Hi everyone, On Wed. when I went into work for my 12hr. shift I was greeted by the night shift nurses at the elevator (not a good sign). It turns out that we had 1 RN call out which left us with only 2 RNs for 20 patients, so I wound have 10. I had 1...

Thank you for the info. I was not sure since I am a new to this who should receive a letter about this. That is what I am afarid of. Since Wed. went off with out a hitch according to our nurse manager (meaning no med errors, codes, etc.) I think t...

Thanks for the reply. I found myself checking and rechecking things 5, 6, 7X b/c I was so afarid of making a mistake with so many patients. I could barely keep track of their names and had to refer to them as 20 bed 1, 25 bed 2 and so on. I was just ...

Thanks everyone for responding and giving me your input. I am going to take the day shift and I am just waiting to hear back from the nurse manager. I did so much today and it was only the first day that I cannot wait to go back on Fri. Granted I was...

Hi everyone! I graduated in May and was offered a job on a cardiac floor for nights. I was not crazy with the hours at first but had the entire summer for it to sink in. I accepted the hours and was Ok with it. I started orientation last week and tom...

Well I just got back from taken the NCLEX-RN and I feel terrible to say the least. I had no idea it would be that hard. It shut off at 105 questions. I had like 15 medication questions and I had not heard of most of them. How can you pick an answer i...

Well...I got my results almost an hour ago and I PASSED! I am in total disbelief. I can't beliueve I passed feeling so terrible about it. BUt I AM just so thankful and happy!:balloons:

That's terrible. You would think in this day and age that every state would participate in the quick results and it sucks that yours does not. I tried to check my state BON website but my name did not show up. I hope that is not a bad sign. I don't t...

Hi, I live in NJ but took the NCLEX in NYC on the 9th. I know how you feel. Everytime I remember a question I look it up. So far, I have remembered only 4, but I got 3 of them incorrect so I hope that is not the norm for the rest of the test! Are you...
