New Nurse

Hey everyone. I mentioned in my other post that I was going to be graduating in May of this year. I am so excited that it is almost done with and to actually call myself a registered nurse. Although I am extremely excited I am also very nervous at the same time. I also mentioned in my other post that I would love any advice about taking the NCLEX-RN that any one has, which is one of the things that makes me nervous. It would all be much appreciated. The other thing is being a new nurse. How do you deal with being a new nurse? Is there something in particular that you did to make it easier on yourself and not so stressful? Any little tidbit I would love to hear about. Thanks and have a good rest of your day.

My advice for NCLEX is to take it as soon as possible. Pass rates go down dramatically the longer one gets away from graduation.

You do realize, don't you, that you won't actually BE a registered nurse when you finish school?There are hundreds of threads on NCLEX advice and almost as many on being a new nurse. The "Search" function is very helpful!
