Sounds likes what you are doing is very productive and organized! Thank you so much for this advice. Do you use any "brain sheet" to write all your orders, meds, or to do list for each of your patients?

Thank you so much for this! It's just a lot to juggle all at one time while trying to learn hospital procedures, where everything is, and the Emar!

I took mine a couple weeks ago. I just bought a Kaplan review book; cost about 30 dollars. I read the whole book and every rational a week before my test. I also used the decision tree Kaplan uses; I found this SO helpful on my test with priority questions which was the majority of my test. I did not even touch or read any notes/books from school. There is an unlikely chance anything you review will even be on the test. Also, most of the questions are not information out of a textbook; you have to use critical thinking to come to a correct answer. Hope this helps some if you haven't already taken it.

Well good luck! I hope you pass!

I know how you feel! But we both passed nursing school and the NCLEX so I'm sure with some time we will both become confident at our jobs, (fingers crossed)!

Yes! I just took mine and it stoped at 85-87 and I passed it. It can stop at any number. A few students in my class stopped at 93 and 103.

Hello! I just got my RN, and I got a job at a med surg floor a couple weeks ago on night shift. I start next week and I'm nervous about being a new nurse. For all of you seasoned med surg nurses, what is some advice to be great at my job. And do you have any specific way you stay on top of everything throughout the shift? also, any tips on how to manage night shift?
