I am a new grad who recently passed boards and have been working in the NICU now for about 2 months. I am about two weeks from being out of orientation. I know I have grown so much over the past two months but I know I still have an overwhelming am...

Can you explain what this is exactly? How do you find out if there is one in your area? Please forgive my ignorance. Thanks so much!

There is no sleeping on my unit either...well except for the babies, of course. We do have nurses that sleep on their lunch break, however. I do not have a problem with it. Sometimes all you need is a 15 minute cat nap to get you through the rest ...

Just curious, why do the babies need to be bathed before the Vit K? Thanks!

I have been the nurse that gets the report as well. That time I felt like I knew more of what is going on with the patient. However, if it is truly "my" admission, won't I be the one getting the babies vitals, getting the baby tucked in etc..? How...

Way to go Kalico!!! I just passed also. Tommorrow will be the first day I can sign my charting RN!! WAHOO!

Congrats Kelly!! I made it also! It is so good to have it behind me. I felt exactly like you. When I was in there I thought most of my questions were not too bad. The ones that I remembered were very specific and things that I missed. I started ...

"Before I entered the testing room the woman/proctor offered a pair of earplugs; I accepted and went to reach out to take the box. She pulled the box out of my reach and said "no, I need to give you just the earplugs...you can't take the box" - she t...

tic toc tic toc...

I think my state is slow to post. None of my friend's licenses are up yet. (for those that know they passed) I guess I am destined to wait :Crash: until the a.m. I just came in from trimming my hedges. So busy trying to keep my mind off of the...

Oh, how I can relate. Took my test at 0900 yesterday. I can't stand waiting. I want to know so bad. I have been trying to stay busy but it is very difficult to focus. I keep thinking about how mortified I will be if I failed at 75! This time to...

Wahoo For You Penny!!!

Congrats, RN!

Congrats to you!

I would try Suzanne's program. I used it and find out Friday if I passed. She has a high success rate. Look at the Sticky posts at the top of the forum. Best wishes to you! How long ago did you test? I would give yourself a small break before you...

wahoo for you!!!

So glad to know we are not alone. I swear the only questions I am starting to remember i missed. I think the waiting is worse than the anticipation of taking the test.

Yep, I must admit, I am really struggling. I keep thinking maybe I did not take enough time to look through the answers. I did not have any delegation either. I HATE the waiting! It is truly torture!

Well, I was starting to do Exactly that (looking up questions) and was starting to get anxious. I am not looking up anymore! I do not want to be miserable for the next two days. What is done is done! Either way, I know I will be a nurse!

Very true! I could not believe the number of who would you see first questions. I also agree with the other posts that i have seen about really knowing infection control. I had a lot of those. So, what are you doing to keep yourself busy over the...

I was wondering if any of you were back yet. I got finished at 10:15, took me aobut an hour and a half. I got 75. I am not sure how I feel about it. I felt like a lot of it was just using my best judgement. I had a lot of priority and a few sel...

Right there with ya! I am taking a scripture in my mind to write down on the white board when I get there! I will read over it whenever I feel fear coming in. It always helps me regain my peace! Best wishes, I am testing in the morn at 0900!

Yep, me too! I am also taking it in the a.m. Going to watch a movie tonight. Took the kids out today for a picnic and a hike. I just had to get out and get my mind off of it! I am leaving my house two hours early just so I can make sure I am ther...

WA HOOO for you! I hope to be saying the same thing Friday.

Just wanted to post good wishes to you. I take miine on Wed. Just had a short break down. I am feeling better now. I am going to try to do something fun with my kids tonight. Good luck!
