Finally have my test scheduled July 21st at 1400! Our class had to do VATI before getting our ATT. And I've been doing about 75-100 questions out of the Saunders comprehensive review everyday. Just wondering about any other tips and tricks to go over before the big day. Also wondering if there's anyone else who will be compulsively checking to see if they passed next week.

Thank you for all of the advice! We were told to start applying now by our local hospital and several other hospitals around the area are recruiting us as well, so I'll throw out that one piece of advice. I just want to be prepared so when I find a position that I really love I'll be ready for the interview.

I'm in my final semester of nursing school, I have no kids, however I work part time as a CNA, have a husband, and try to make time to see my parents once a week. you don't check out of "life" it just makes it more difficult to do the things youre used to doing. Once a week we go and see my parents, once a week we make a point to have a date night. Even if I have to bring my books to my parents house, or our date night entails me snuggled with my books while we watch a movie, you can make it work. I don't know what your situation is, but it's all time management, you'll learn it in the clinical setting in school and you'll learn it in your personal life. You'll be burned out pretty quick if you literally have no you time. The first one's out of nursing school were the people who didn't make a point to have "me" time.

I am 5 weeks from the end of my nursing school career and was told recently that we could start applying for nursing jobs! First off, scary yet exciting. So before I start applying I would like to know what kind of questions I should be asking. This is my first time applying for a full time job so I'm lacking knowledge about what I should be asking about benefits and all that other stuff. Thanks!
