I like Texas, especially El Paso. There is a small airport there, so you can get away to Vegas. There are large hospitals there and a Level I Trauma Center. There is no state income tax in Texas. Traffic in El Paso is nothing compared to CA...

It is not impossible, because sometimes men get raped usually by other men. So what is the real answer here? There are other areas of Forensic Nursing, like corrections, psych and death scene investigations...

If you have the HESI book, there are critical thinking questions at the end of each chapter. I like to review those while I am driving. My favorite review book is Saunders. I like it because it helps reinforce the material in nursing school. For exam...
Ditto on the above post. I usually make A's. Not because I try to. I ask lots of questions when I am reading. I try to relate it to something that I know about. It is really important to understand the concepts. Are you able to explain it to someone?...

I did quite well on the HESI. I would focus on concepts and critical thinking. The Saunders book is quite good. The Hesi book is good for quick review of core content. I like Saunders better.
I took the NCLEX PN yesterday. I think the idea of "studying" for the test is wrong. You have to "prepare." The difference is opening your mind by learning a few fun facts each day and incorporating it into your mental filing cabinet. I read a lot a...
Ditto on the above post. Don't you look at your patient's lab values when you are prepping for clinicals? Make it a point to learn 2 lab values per day. You should know the norms and what causes the patient to be above or below normal. Then you need ...
I used the NCSBN. I did the 3 month option or 4 month option. It was okay. I prefer the Saunders book. There are some advantages. You can carry it with you, like a pet. You can use it in class to supplement lecture material and you can use the CD to ...
Ditto on the above posts. I have been using the Saunders RN since June 07. I had to shift gears to get ready for the PN exam. I am using the Saunders PN-3rd ed. I will take my exam on 2/17. After that, I will switch back to getting ready for the NCLE...
I will take the NCLEX-PN on 2/17. I plan to obtain a position at a SNF so that I will have some nursing experience when I graduate in June. I am estimating that I will not be able to take the NCLEX-RN boards until late July or August, depending on ho...
Best regards to you! I just received my ATT and my test is scheduled for 2/17 at 2pm. I am so ready. I have been studying since 2007 for the NCLEX-RN. Now, I am ready to take the NCLEX-PN. I hope I do well. I am using Saunders-PN after finishing Kapl...
I wouldn't cram. Use the Saunders PN book and take the quizzes and exams. I have been doing this everyday since 12/5/08. I am still waiting for my ATT. I am so ready to take the test and get on with my final semesters of the RN program. I want to tak...
After prepping for the NCLEX-RN since I started nursing school in June 2007 and switching gears to prep for the NCLEX-PN, I have used or read just about everything out there. I did use the NCBSN website for three months. The background info was good,...
