  1. should I share personal info to mgr??

    Hi, I think it's kinda sad that there is still this non-acceptance of people with chronic anxiety/depression. I'm in the same boat, and I would suggest not telling management about your situation....
  2. need advice-student nurse with anxiety disorder

    Hi, I have anxiety/panic disorders too. I've been a Med-Surg nurse for 4 months. It is a challenge. I have to block each hour and ask myself what do I have to do just this hour? I try to take it in...
  3. I'm a new MICU RN and not liking it!

    Thanks for the advice. I plan on trying to stick it out for a year and see what happens. The other factor in this is I am going through mental depression, so I'm worried what the ICU might do to me....
  4. I'm a new MICU RN and not liking it!

    Hi there-- I have just moved to a new city and accepted my first job as a nurse. I work in the MICU, and I don't think it's for me. I've only been there for a month, but I'm thinking this is more of...
  5. Kaplan is frustrating me!

    Hi VegasRN, I'm glad to hear that test #4 might be easier than #3. I've been starting my new job and I haven't had a lot of time to read the exciting Kaplan course book! :chuckle I'm going to...
  6. Kaplan is frustrating me!

    Hi moliuchick, :) I took the 30 hour class. We had a representative come to our school, and he said if we signed up then he would give us 50$ off--$350 total. I am a bad test taker, so I signed up...
  7. Question on acceptable IDs for NCLEX!!!

    Do they even give you an option to spell out your middle name on driver's license? I don't think I've ever seen that on anyone's driver's license. That would be the easiest to change at this point,...
  8. Question on acceptable IDs for NCLEX!!!

    Hi christvs, I didn't even think about that! Now I'm worried as well. :uhoh21: Please let us know what Pearson-vue says about the middle name thing! Thanks!
  9. Kaplan is frustrating me!

    Hello, :) Well, I just got the results of the Readiness test. I did do better than the diagnostic. I passed the Readiness with 65% but still it's pretty close to the boarderline so I'm still...

    p.s. BrightStar05, Good luck studying and good luck on the NCLEX next week! I hope it all works out for you! :)
  11. Kaplan is frustrating me!

    Well, I just took the test #3 in the Kaplan question trainer and I got the same percentage as test #2! Now I have 63%,49%, and 49%!! I just underlined my stupidity! I might try the Q bank...
  12. Kaplan is frustrating me!

    Thanks everyone for your comments, I feel better. (Sort of!) :) I do think their strategies are helpful--I guess I just need to practice. And I'm planning on studying up until "The Day". Maybe...
  13. Hi, Did anyone else taking the Kaplan class start out feeling totally stupid? I just took their diagnostic test and the first two nclex practice tests from the cd rom and I didn't do well at all!...
  14. CLIPBOARD or NOTEPAD?

    I am going to start as a graduate nurse on a med/surg unit. I was just wondering which works better during a shift: putting your notes on a clipboard that you carry around, or a spiral notepad to jot...
  15. Priorities and time management

    Hi RN-PA, I'm going to be starting as a graduate nurse on a med/surg unit and I saw your post. I liked your tips so much I printed them off to use. Thanks for the good info!! :)
