I have been looking into doing OR nursing because bedside was not my favorite. I dreaded it. I figured maybe OR is the right move with my personality etc.

I know there are no sponsors because jobs are so scarce.

IS anyone considering doing this course?

Humber requires

• Verification of employment and/or Letter of recommendation which I have neither :(

I've been using UWORLD since mid-June and just want to write my exam, but one thing holding me back is calculations. I don't like them at all- and ill be frank im not very strong with numbers.

What should I focus on in terms of formulas?

How did you guys know when you were ready to just take your exam?

I was thinking of using UWORLD for approximately 2 months and watching DR Sharon's YouTube videos as well. Studying for about 5-8 hrs a day ad making notes on the wrong answers. I will not be working at all during this study period.

IS this way too much time to have? Are there other resources you would recommend?

Those who have taken the NEW NCLEX were there lots of math related / pharm questions?

Its not my first rodeo- I did write the REX-PN but It was all such a blur that I need better in sight on this exam.

I have also been applying to RN jobs even without a license because on how bad the market is right now in ON/GTA but I dont think it is even worth doing anymore as I have had no responses.

Hi everyone! After a bit of waiting, I’m finally able to book my NCLEX 😊

I previously wrote and passed the REx-PN on my first attempt (around 100+ questions), but I’m not totally sure how to approach NCLEX prep.

Right now I’m thinking of using UWorld and Mark Klimek lectures and studying for about 4–5 weeks.

For those who’ve recently taken and passed it—what did your prep look like? How long did you study for, and what were the questions like? Also, is there any math on the exam?

Side note!- I have my resume and thinking of applying to as many jobs right now but is this even possible if I have not written the exam? or should I simply just wait until I get my license number...

I’ve struggled with anxiety in social situations for as long as I can remember, especially in bigger group settings. I usually try to avoid them if I can, and when I do go, I become really quiet and serious. It’s not that I don’t want to connect—I just feel uncomfortable and kind of shut down.

In high school, I had a solid group of friends, but when I went to university, everything changed. I found it really hard to connect with people. It felt like everyone else was naturally forming friend groups, and I was just… left out. I do try—I talk when people talk to me, I ask questions back, and I show interest—but it never seems to turn into real friendships.

I’m 23 now and don’t really have a solid friend group. I guess I’m selective about who I spend time with because I value people who actually listen, reciprocate, and are genuinely interesting to talk to. But a lot of the people I’ve met have felt self-centered, don’t ask me anything, or have left me out. I’ve also learned to keep my personal life to myself because it somehow ends up being shared with others.

Something else I’ve noticed is that I can get internally annoyed when people talk excessively without giving space for a real back-and-forth. When that happens, I kind of shut down and become even more quiet.

Lately, I’ve been feeling really sad and on edge about all of this. It seems like making friends comes so easily to everyone else, and I can’t help but feel jealous and anxious about it. I don’t know if something is wrong with me or if anyone else feels this way, but it’s been really hard.
