THANK YOU SO MUCH!:) the ratios on the PCU side are 4-5 patients and when on the CIMU side it is 2-3 patients. I had many of my nursing school clinicals on the floor so that gives me a little boost of confidence...but i will have three different preceptors, from what i have heard. one main one and then two others. I think the hardest thing for me will containing my excitement.

Hey y'all! I just passed my boards in July and I start new grad orientation august 25th. It is 8 weeks long and I start alone on the floor the week of october 19th!! I will be starting out on a busy cardiac unit: progressive cardiac unit/cardiovascular intermediate unit. It is my dream unit to work on and I need some good tips and advice for new grad cardiac nursing :) thanks y'all!!

thanks everyone! good luck to all of y'all too :)

the time is finally here and I am taking it july 17th....SERIOUSLY nervous as heck. I have been slacking the past two weeks but I am full swing now. I am doing the Kaplan qbank questions now & the select all that apply are killing me...they are my biggest downfall!! any advice?!

Thank you so much!

I am from VA, the hospital in my city has a new grad intern program...I applied to it, and was selected for first interviews, then the second interview I had was with my top unit I applied for. I thought about doing both but they are the same week as each other, and my school is offering us a free ATI live review, which is similar to hurst. So i am doing the ATI and kaplan...I am going to be taking the NCLEX mid june! soooo needless to say I am still in panic mode. I have a 28% chance of failing the first time according to ATI, which keeps up with our progress.

thank you! yes I am all signed up for Kaplan starting right after I graduate!

hi y'all! this is my first post! I am graduating nursing school May 16, 2014!!! I am attending an ADN program. I was offered my dream nursing job on the Progressive Cardiac Unit at the hospital in my hometown. I am over the moon excited and I am accepted. I will be working full time night shift. It is exactly what I wanted:) However I am stressing!!!!!!! Graduating is going to be no problem for me, it is the NCLEX that i am freaking out over, ALREADY!!! If I do not pass the first time then I will have to reapply for a job. Any advice on how not to stress and freak out??? I have always done well in school and I know how to study. What should I be focusing on? Graduation or NCLEX? or split my time in half with both??? Thanks ladies!! -Caroline
