its not that it makes me miserable, its annoying and mean, but I don't hate it, because after 8 hours I have my family. its just thinking about what happens in the worst case scenario if this place is shut down, and I only have ambulatory clinic experience.

honestly, that's what I was thinking too. And in the case I decide to have children this schedule would be a god-send. And with my husbands new job working nights, having two days off together 100% instead of maybe a day off for half the day would be best.

I am an RN that graduated school in 2016. Now I am a person that values personal life and relationships over anything career or money related. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, but at the end of the day this is a job and I value my family and parents over anything. I have spent most of my nursing career as a Psych nurse (8 months) in a prestigious hospital, and a per diem school nurse (6 months). I had to leave my psych job behind even though it was perfect because I moved. Because of this I chose the first job that came into my path which was a job in an ambulatory care setting. Here I work mostly educating patients on their health and medications. The place I work however is very hostile, a lot of people that do not want to work, surf the internet, scream when they're angry no matter if there is patients or not, including at patients or administrators. Very angry people. I feel like i'm loosing a lot of nursing knowledge here. But then there is a upside of the fact I go home after 8 hour shifts to my amazing family and have weekends off, and holidays off too. My husband is getting a job soon where he will be working nights, but will have weekends off. Him and my family are my world and I do not mind working here if it means we have two days a week 100% off together. The only worrisome aspect comes in where if this hospital or clinic is to close, I will most likely have to stick with a clinic job right? How hard would it be to find a job then? How many of you guys would make the decision I am? Just please be nice and non-judgmental with your answers!

it didnt work for me and it just made me panic for two days, so honestly i would avoid doing it. Either way you cant change it after you take it, so i think you should wait the two days and just spent 7-8 dollars for the quick results

I almost never write these things, but i promised myself i would if i passed. Today i just did the quick results (pearson vue trick didnt work for me and just made me panic even more). Guys, I passed in 265 questions, and let me tell you, if i did, anyone can. Really.I did Kaplan, had a 48 on diagnostic, 57 on readiness, and qtrainers in the 50's, and the qbank in the 40's, really. I studied my butt off though, I did all the NCLEX mastery questions (around 1800) and had a 68. I left honestly thinking I failed horribly, and cried for two days while my friends and family tried to keep my mind occupied, and thank god for them. I do feel like there wasnt THAT much on actual medical knowledge, I know every disease and every lab, all the things in the kaplan textbook but i still feel like most of the questions were based on priority and knowing the nclex style than the actual information, or maybe thats just me. Dont take my word for it though, study study study! everything, and just walk in KNOWING you passed. really, if you passed nursing school (and we all know how tough that is!), you CAN do this!

I just started a new program today called boards vitals. With Kaplan and NCLEX mastery everyone says the questions are harder than the actual NCLEX, however this program has good questions, but i find these easier than the other programs. Has anyone used this program and taken the NCLEX? How would you say the questions are in comparision?
