I finally broke down this morning before work and paid the $8 to find out my results. All my other friends had their results posted on the verification site the next day but I must have checked 30 times at work the next day (yesterday) and NOTHING! So when I got up at 10 this morning and saw I was s ...

I took it this morning. I either really passed or really failed because the computer turned off at 75 questions. (there is no grade only a pass or fail, so it doesn’t matter, but you catch my drift) We joked in the hallway before the let us in that they should provide barfbags in addition to earplug ...

I’m currently experiencing severe brain death. I can feel my brain cells slowly dying off one by one due to the repetative and boring nature of preparing for this damn NCLEX. The past, 6?, days off I’ve had I’ve spent literally hours either studying something I feel might be important (peak insulin ...

Saved by the Hubbin! Hubbin just returned from Starbucks with a gift of iced coffee, bless his little soul! I’m taking practice tests on my computer right now with my Mosby’s NCLEX CD.

Genuinely I was not too worried or worked up about boards. In our NCLEX prep class they told us you should consistently get above 75% on your practice tests before taking it. I’ve always done at least that well on our big ATI tests, and I got middle-high B’s the whole way through school, so it’s jus ...

I will share our daily challenges and the many many experiences that push all of us student nurses way outside of our comfort zone! Haha, if your are going to be a nurse you know what I ...

Well I’ve done four long days so far. It’s very interesting. I’ve definately learned stuff in that time. I’ve learned things I don’t know but didn’t know I didn’t know. That’s good. It’s the first stage of developing competence in a skill, moving from unconscious incompetence to conscious incompeten ...

Well, I’ve done my first week of my second placement. It’s great. Not much to say really. It’s just really good. There hasn’t been much ‘new’ stuff really. I’ve come across most of the ‘illnesses’, ‘disorders’, ‘conditions’ or whatever you want to call them. Mostly in previous jobs. I’ve also come a ...
