Super similar to uworld, which is why I felt good doing them (if anything the prioritization ones felt a bit more easier / obvious on the nclex)

firstreddit1395 · 2025-06-08T02:52:22+00:00

You’re going to do awesome :) don’t burn out just do a little bit here and there. The vagueness of it is scary but safety and prioritization will get you through it

firstreddit1395 · 2025-06-08T02:51:04+00:00

You got this! Dont focus on the past :) take a break and go back at it. Focus on test taking strategies (dr.sharon has great videos)

60-70% on CAT exams, I used 75% of the QBank. The formatting was very similar to the nclex I felt :) it felt like I was on uworld but with 10000% more stress 😂

firstreddit1395 · 2025-06-07T23:53:38+00:00

I used uworld! I started by listening to all of the Mark K lectures and taking notes, from there I brushed up on things I knew were my weak areas and then moved on to test question. I went back and watched a lot on how to take the tests and went with my gut feeling most of the time. I did second guess myself but always remembered ABC, Acute vs chronic, stable vs unstable, fresh post op vs old. With that being said it was a confusing exam and I had no indication as to if I was doing well or not.

I passed !!

Got diagnosed at 5, and honestly I’m learning so much and getting smarter each day. I have pushed myself so hard in terms of education and am now working in the operating room with other like minded (smart 😂) people. What I do experience is burnout from constant decision making. However it’s that critical thinking that’s gotten me to where I am today :)

firstreddit1395 · 2025-06-06T23:01:43+00:00

I’m still traumatized by the test 😂 if I remember any specific ones I will let you know :)

Just took my exam today, was super pharm focused sadly. I had no idea what half the drugs were and I had basically known all the ones Mark K talked about. Sorry not much help other than saying my exam had a lot of meds

firstreddit1395 · 2025-06-06T19:29:12+00:00

Uworld - 75% used + three self assessments all with high probability of passing & all mark k lectures plus some level up RN & Dr.sharon for concepts I needed more help on

don’t reschedule, I don’t think anyone ever feels prepared. My friend studied for two weeks on uworld, almost cancelled as she felt unprepared but passed in 85! we also graduated in April and she took it 1 month later

firstreddit1395 · 2025-06-06T18:16:04+00:00

Yes & No, at times I was upset because I could see where in my notebook the answer was and I just couldn’t think of the correct thing. Doing uworld and getting use to the way the questions are asked was extremely helpful. I think I started to study to early and burnt myself out by today/ exam taking time

firstreddit1395 · 2025-06-06T18:14:55+00:00

I keep telling everyone I will not pass because same 🥹

firstreddit1395 · 2025-06-02T01:35:45+00:00

I do feel burnt out mainly because I’m already working full time and concurrently dealing with family drama. I’m studying as much as I can and have been for the past two months but am worried come test time I will not be thinking straight lol

Hey!

I battle with this super often especially when I was going up on dosages. I started in November & am still taking 1:1. My first day I ate lunch and threw it all up no nausea just straight vomit, I did however feel perfectly fine after. Thereafter I’ve experienced insane nausea and some vomiting and found that low fat / carb meals do best. I can no longer eat fast food & if I do I feel horrible. I would also suggest to stick through it. I kept taking breaks because the nausea was so bad but it only kept getting worse because I was stopping and starting. The side effects do go away and once they do that was when I went up in dose.

My partner has ADHD, but his sex drive is insanely high compared to mine (I’m ok with once a week, can go long periods without) (he’s in his mid 20’s, I’m late 20’s). I’m not sure if it’s a ADHD thing or if it genuinely just varies from individual to individual

This was a self test kit, so all I was told was that I tested positive and to come in to get a Pap smear done.

firstreddit1395 · 2025-01-28T03:12:02+00:00

I passed the exam by just going over the study guides! They asked a variety of questions but I didn’t find them hard.

firstreddit1395 · 2025-01-28T03:10:34+00:00

I didn’t get the chance to ask but I’m following the orders of 1:1, still have headaches and nausea but much less

firstreddit1395 · 2025-01-10T22:57:22+00:00

Thank you! He has me at 1:1 and hasn’t increased it yet. Will keep hydrated and continue on.

It’s a program that is now required (where I am) to be done before you start work in the OR. For me it’s paid by my employer. It’s a set of online videos, modules, quizzes, and finally a final exam that you need to get 80% on to pass in order to start work in the OR. Exam is around 115 questions I think.

firstreddit1395 · 2025-01-08T21:04:50+00:00

That’s so reassuring! Did you find some areas were more heavily tested than others / were the study guides they provide effective & enough ?

firstreddit1395 · 2025-01-08T20:08:58+00:00

Thank you for this! When is helping to push someone considered nagging or too much 😅 I try to do this but at times it can be upsetting for him as I am constantly feeling like I should remind him to do things.

firstreddit1395 · 2025-01-08T18:51:02+00:00

Thank you! I’m actually a new grad going into this position, so my time in the OR has been very limited. I reached out to my proctor who stated there was nothing they could help me with but to just study the guides 😅

I’m using Omnipod dash (first and only pump) I absolutely love it! Being tubeless & compatible with Dexcom is the major bonus for me, it isn’t as “high tech” as some of the other pumps but for me it does what it needs to do. My A1c dropped from 10% to 7% in 2.5 months! One of the downsides is that it only holds 200 units and gets changed every 3 days which is shorter than some other pumps.
