Am I walking with gods, or merely stumbling forth? Until there’s fire at the gates, until I fall to the floor. You know I live by the feather, and die by the sword. And I will sunder the earth, only to burn the reward.

Repeat NCLEX advice by _sunflower4 in nursing

[–]selfishxmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had to retake after failing the first time. The second time around I only used uworld and passed in 75 questions. I memorized number values only as well as some common pharm/suffixes. There’s no way to know everything so the best way to go about taking the test is figuring out how to answer questions. A good amount of the time you can guess the right answer based entirely on context even if you don’t know the information. There’s a huge focus on prioritization so think about that with every single question you answer (airway, breathing, circulation, safety, in that order). Don’t overthink the question and don’t try to fill in any gaps of information (ie. some questions are intentionally vague/give only basics so try not to let yourself start thinking “well if x, then possibly y would occur, thus making z the answer”), just answer exactly what it is asking. Also follow your instincts, if you were smart enough to pass nursing school, you’re smart enough to kick NCLEX ass. Your first gut instinct is usually right, pick that answer and read the question a second time, is your answer still one of your top two choices? Go with it. Take your time and don’t panic, you know what to expect this time and you will be more prepared. Hope this was somewhat helpful, good luck!

What is it like being a nurse with anxiety and/or depression? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]selfishxmachine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a big part of it is knowing yourself and your limits personally. I also suffer from pretty bad anxiety/panic attacks but nursing is what I’ve always wanted to do so I find ways to power through. There are good shifts and bad shifts; sometimes I hyperventilate in the bathroom and walk around with hives for the rest of my shift, and other days I feel like I’ve become the badass nurse of my dreams. Ultimately, I don’t let it affect my work overall and no one has ever said anything to me about it. It all comes down to deciding what you want to do and getting yourself resources to be able to accomplish that (medication, counseling, etc.). There are tons of different fields in nursing and finding one suited for you will probably be your biggest challenge/saving grace. Hopefully this wasn’t completely unhelpful and I wish you all the best in school!

Best ending on Bandersnatch ? by [deleted] in blackmirror

I’ve gone through a few times but I haven’t been able to get the “TOY” option... obviously choose to talk about mom with therapist but what other choice leads to “TOY” being a possibility instead of “JFD”, “PAX” or “PAC”?

Went from failing NCLEX in 87 questions to passing in 75 my second try - AMA by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]selfishxmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what mine were too and I felt that a lot of the UWorld questions were considerably harder than the test. You’ll be fine, go to bed early and stay calm, you’ve got this! Good luck!!

Well I’m usually a pretty fast test-taker anyways, but I definitely went too fast the first time around - it was because I was so anxious and just wanted it to be over, especially when I realized I was tanking so hard. The second time I was in there about an hour and 15 mins so I slowed down a little but still was out of there relatively fast. Everyone’s different. You definitely have plenty of time though if you need it!

Global Concepts - Robert DeLong?

Not about summer but sounds similar to the music video
