1. 265 NCLEX questions..GOING CRAZY !!!!!!

   CaptC replied to Taylorsmommy23's topic in NCLEX

   You know people that have taken the nclex 4-7 times before passing? That sounds sort of insane to me? I have never heard of anything like that before. Especially considering first-time pass rate is normally between 90-100% at most schools.

2. Very anxious and scared about starting nursing school.

   CaptC replied to CaptC's topic in General Students

   I'm in an ASN program, but my school is going to offer a BSN sometime before I graduate which is convenient. I might be one of the first to receive a BSN from my college which is pretty cool. I hope to have my BSN or close to it by the time I start ...

3. Very anxious and scared about starting nursing school.

   CaptC replied to CaptC's topic in General Students

   This actually makes me feel a bit better. I'm still going into my first semester very cautiously. I could ask a number of questions about specialities, masters degree programs, etc. However, it is probably best if I just take things one step at a tim...

   Alright, so it's probably normal. That's a relief. I'll still call the Monday morning just in case.

   CaptC replied to willvz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey everyone. So I'll be starting nursing school in January. I finished everything in castlebranch. My only concern is that its been 3 weeks since I've completed my fingerprints and it still shows the 3rd step as incomplete. I'm starting to worry tha...

6. Very anxious and scared about starting nursing school.

   CaptC posted a topic in General Students

   I'm starting nursing school in January and I have to admit I'm rather nervous. My fears mostly revolve around the school workload which if it is anything like a&p it will be brute force memorization with very little application which often felt l...

7. How do you view the central Florida job market in the next 18 to 24 months?

   CaptC replied to CaptC's topic in Florida

   What you consider peanuts might be different from what I consider peanuts. Peanuts and experience is better no peanuts at all.

8. How do you view the central Florida job market in the next 18 to 24 months?

   CaptC replied to CaptC's topic in Florida

   Yeah, I have no expectations of just rolling into a job. I expect it to take between 8-16 months of hard work to get placed. I also plan on pretty much immediately getting my BSN. It will literally be BSN course work and job searching. My hope is tha...

9. How do you view the central Florida job market in the next 18 to 24 months?

   CaptC posted a topic in Florida

   I've recently been accepted into nursing school starting January and was wondering how people see the job market being around the time I graduate. Obviously this is a difficult question to answer but I thought some people might have some insider know...

10. Why I'm leaving nursing

    CaptC replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be starting nursing school in the next couple of months. Is there anyone that actually enjoys their job? I'm worried that if all the good people in the profession leave there will be no one left to promote healthy change. I don't know anything...

11. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    CaptC replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    If someone said that to me and I was a new nurse I would be very upset. People spend many years and give up many things to become a nurse. It's not as trivial as your last paragraph makes it seem. If an individual starts working and is not given the ...

12. Really really worried about getting into a nursing program.

    CaptC replied to CaptC's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Update: I got an A in physio! Just a nutrition final left to take.

13. Discouraged

    CaptC replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing

    After reading your posts again I think windsurfer was being too harsh. He did that in one of my posts also. Not sure why he feels the need to be so hard all the time. It might discourage excellent nurses from joining the profession. Maybe that is wha...

    ^ This x 1 million.

15. Discouraged

    CaptC replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Ok I disagree here. Anatomy and physio in my opinion is harder than any math or science class I've ever taken. I've taken up to calculus 1 and completed chemistry 2. Those classes aren't even close to the level of difficultly of anatomy and physio. T...
