Being the new person on a unit is not easy. I think you did a great job by self-reflecting and identifying how this situation made you feel. I recommend you taking this self-reflection and store it in your memory bank. Keep self-reflecting and identifying your emotions as you experience them and you will be a stronger nurse at the end of the day. Being emotionally intelligent goes a long way in staying resilient to burn out/fatigue. If you bring a complaint your manager, have a solution to your problem. I wish you good luck on your orientation. We have a very fun and exciting career.

So, I was in a similar position as you when I was living in Chicago. I had a little bit of a tough time in school initially and finished strong. I ended up applying to the University of Colorado hospital and I got accepted the day after I moved here. If you want something bad enough, you'll figure out a way to convey your sincerity and get where you want to be. You'll never know until you try.

If it's going to be near the deadline I would just explain the situation to DORA and see what they can do. I literally had to email them and call them to get my ATT. Don't be surprised if your license expires this year either.

2 weeks. Dora is terribly slow. You just call them to kick it in gear.

Thanks everyone! I'm very excited!

I received my job offer today!

Has anyone received a rejection letter yet?

I still haven't heard anything yet. I'm staying positive, but I'm also applying to other positions. What units did you apply for Skigirl?

That's Awesome! Great week for you all the way around! I hope we are co-workers!! I know the feeling of having to wait the 48 hours. I only did Uworld, so I really didn't know if I failed or passed with 75 questions. haha. Good work bibebok!

Congrats! What unit?

Haha, nothing yet. I hope to update this thread with a positive post this week!

UCH Denver. I had my interview last Monday.

The staff told me they will start notifying people by Tuesday at the earliest.

UCH told me they would get back to me next week. Did they say anything to you in regards of notification? How did you feel after the interview?

So I passed the NCLEX in 75 questions solely using UWORLD. I honestly do not care if I passed in 265 questions, as long as I passed the first time. I did all 1790 questions in the 2 weeks and I thoroughly went over all the rationale. I felt at ease on the NCLEX because it felt like I was using UWORLD. My scores ranged from 58-74% on my tests. When I did UWORLD I only used the timed test mode, because it will resemble the NCLEX as much as it possibly can. Plus I realized if I went over rationale after each question, by the time I got to 75 questions my brain was already exhausted. For all future nurses taking the NCLEX, take a breath before you start the exam and know that you deserve to be sitting in front of that computer. Good luck to all and I cannot wait to learn how to be a great nurse!
