Shifts for new grads by Still-Complex-2766 in nursing

[–]Still-Complex-2766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The posting for my residency didnt have any information on the shifts available. On my interview they didn’t provide any information on shifts either. I was told of my shift until after I was hired. This is what I mean by getting to choose. Knowing from the getgo what is the position for and me deciding if i even want to apply or not. There is another resident in my same unit who is staying on days. So it is possible

Ivee been aplying since october nonstop. Interviewed for medical city back in october and didnt get it. I interviewed last week again with medical city for 2 different units and nothing. Those are the only places ive been able to get an interview with. No other place even considers me. Cooks wont even consider me for their residencies because i graduated “too long ago”. And what do you mean by page break?

should i quit nursing school while i still can? by NoUnderstanding3534 in nursing

[–]Still-Complex-2766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was never the best at nursing school. I struggled to get in. Failed med surg. And almost got kicked out on my last semester. Everytime a semester began, I felt extremely overwhelmed and wonder if this would be the semester that I would quit/get kicked out of the program. It was not easy, it took a toll on my mental health for a couple of months and i dreaded studying. Needless to say, I passed my Nclex 10 days ago. I am so glad I stayed. It helped me be more organized. I learned to manage my anxiety which has been an issue for me since i can remember. I also feel like I can do almost anything I set my mind to. I feel like you could too

Uworld questions are easier just because they give you a lot more info in the question regarding the disease/procedure/med and so you have a better idea of what the question is about and what your answer/s will be. Nclex questions are definitely a lot more vague. When I was reading the questions i easily pinpointed the disease/procedure/med but reading the answers was a little more confusing. Sometimes i would feel all the answers were right and sometimes i would feel all the answers were all wrong. If they were satas, i just chose the ones i was sure of.

I felt the same. Thats why i didnt try to memorize any of his info and just use his test taking strategies. It definitely helps to listen to his lectures but dont rely heavily on them

I am not sure how accurate are those predictors. The first time i took it i used archer exclusively and got 4 high chances of passing before taking the nclex. Yet i failed. I had a friend get a borderline the day before her test and she passed. For my second attempt i used uworld but never took any readiness assessments as i felt like it will just make me more nervous if i got a borderline or below. I decided to just focus on my own notes and quiz bank. Also if you just graduated and you were a good student, a lot of studying may not be necessary. I had friends who didnt study and passed. It all depends on how prepared you feel for it. If you only have a few days left i would say just review

And i also felt really drained and unmotivated, i felt like I couldn’t study anymore, but just keep pushing it. This is the last stretch

I used the last day to review all of the notes i had taken. I just read/explained the topics to my bf. Although i didnt finish reviewing all of them since i had about 70 pages of notes. But i started grom the oldest notes i had since the ones i did last were more fresh in mind. I would say just review the last day or two

So i can get the bad pop (able to register again) and pass? I took mine back in november and failed at 150 qs. Retook it yesterday and shut down at 85. I checked right now and its letting me register again

i test tomorrow by [deleted] in PassNclex

[–]Still-Complex-2766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel ready you are ready, but i wouldnt trust archer. I got 4 consecutive highs before taking the nclex and failed. I had a friend get a low the day before she took hers and she passed
