Either retake certain classes you didn't do great in, or take some easy classes and get A's in them

I just started my first RN job and I feel clueless too. You are not the only one. You'll learn though, just keep telling yourself that!

I'd take the L&D job in a heartbeat but that's just me. I loved my L&D clinicals

You probably passed... I passed at 85 and I was like you... I literally left thinking I got maybe 5 right. Stay positive. Even if you failed, you can take it again :) that's what I kept telling myself before I took the exam. Best of luck to you!

I would try to find a new job. That's a nasty-sounding environment. You don't need that stress. If you're truly doing your best at work and getting that kind of treatment in return, I would leave. Best of luck

85 or 86

50/50 chance. Good luck

I was the same exact way during my first semester. By my last semester, I was much more confident in clinical! You'll get there!!

You won't know meds that well until you work as a nurse once you graduate

Best thing is to relax while taking the test. Breathe! I used Kaplan qbanks

Thanks for the positivity!![emoji173]️

I didn't use u world, but I used the Kaplan qbanks and passed on my first try with 85 questions. I felt like it was a pretty good source to use. Good luck to you!!

This is a helpful post. Gives me hope for the future. I don't have a job yet, but I'm praying I'll be a good nurse very soon. I know I'll probably have anxiety at first when I get a job, but I hope I get more comfortable fast. I think our fears and anxieties come from deep within, and our brains are our worst enemy at times. All a nurse can do is try their very best and make smart decisions. No ones perfect. :) I hate that some nurses have such deep anxiety that they can't shake. Hearing those stories have prevented me from getting a job quickly after graduation. I'll be honest, it has scared me! I see more stories about negativity and hating their jobs than good stories! It's sad.

Hey everyone. I graduated from an ASN program in May. Passed the NCLEX-RN in July. And now, almost mid-October, I'm STILL contemplating on whether or not to get a job yet. I'm really wanting to move by Summer 2016. That's my ultimate goal. I'm still living under my parents roof and they take care of me, but it would be nice to have some extra spending money and to start getting experience. But here's the problem- I am absolutely terrified to work as a nurse. I'm scared I won't "fit in" to the facility, that I'll make a huge mistake like a med error, and that I'll never get the hang of things....I've heard it takes a year or two before you begin to feel competent as an RN. :/ And I know time management is a big thing if you work at a hospital. I'm also afraid that my orientation and/or preceptor won't teach me well enough before I go out on my very own....As you can tell, I'm pretty much worried about everything and I probably sound crazy. You're probably thinking, "Oh she's just like every other new nurse". And this may be, but it sure doesn't feel like it I feel very abnormal when it comes to how scared I am. And I feel stupid because I spent 2 years working my butt off for this degree, and when I finally get it, I'm too scared to work... it doesn't make any sense. I just really need someone out there to tell me they have been in my shoes and to give me some advice. All my friends have jobs already, so I just feel so bad. Does it look bad to get a job and then leave after 7 or 8 months? Please help. I need to know that I'm not alone out there when it comes to being afraid!
