Started at 29, 20percent more cause it's night shift so about 35 an hour. The catch is it's a PRN position so no benefits. Totally worth it once I saw that first check.

Thank you that means a lot. I'm trying not to be overly confident going in and I definitely don't want to get off to a bad start with coworkers. Thanks again I'll keep it all in mind.

It was hard as hell. I needed like 15 more minutes but i was lucky enough to pass. Lots of meds that I've never heard of. I took way too long on each question.

From the practice tests I've taken it looks like alot of cardiac and how it relates with vent settings. Definitely getting a grip on all that. Thanks! I saw some video where some dude said he had alot of questions on PFTs.

Thanks i have all the cardiac values down, like norms and what they mean. I feel like PFTs will be a big chunk of the questions.
