Wow. What an experience. That institution will continue to deteriorate if they treat there nursing like that. Perhaps professional consultant would be considered. No one should be treated so poorly

I also had to take this test twice. I used ATI and followed close with my coach. Did exactly has was instructed. Had to remediate some areas, however on the 2nd attempt at testing I was out of there in less that 110 questions. I was very sincere in following the coach and it paid off... Did them spurs deep and study hard, work hard and pray hard. "Do not give up" Bonnie

I did a lot of research on this and you are correct!! Many like the 12 hr shift as they think of all the days off, however your are constantly recovering on that day off... Frankly after 10 hrs you are spent. It is hard to be pleasant for 12 hrs, especially with that demanding patient.... Also we are not thinking as critically at the end of 12 hrs. This is when things go wrong and at the end of your shift the work pace increases. Just not safe for you or the patient.

Agree with the 12 hr shifts. As a "OLDER NURSE" the 12 hr shifts really pulls you down. Not enough time to recover.
