I've been lurking on this thread for a few days reading your stories and now I have one of my own. Apparently the trick worked for me. I got the pop-up screen saying to refer to member board and this morning I checked my quick results, I passed! Here...
I did do the trick and it has helped to calm me down.. The pop up appeared telling me that I had already registered and to refer to my member board. So according to 100s of people here that have already used the trick, its most likely that I passed.
Ok, so I took the NCLEX this am.. I had 75 questions.. I have to admit the majority of the questions i seemed to be unsure of... I went with my gut, especially with the priority questions. I did a lot of questions in preparation.. took the Hurst rev...
Got hired onto a small MICU floor at a private hospital. Not my first choice either, wanted ED in the same hospital but its a step in the door and can work my way to that eventually. Also considering NP but don't know yet, have to get more experience...

I am also a CARE VII graduate and while I agree with some of nolalsuhscstudent's remarks, I don't agree with all of them. I feel that the 'rough around the edges' feel of this program and the 'unfair' treatment issued are due to a few facts - this is...
As a recent graduate of the program I can tell you will be required to present several group/individual oral presentations for various courses - I'd say at least 10 of them.

Thanks for the congrats! I have worked hard to make it to this point! As far as your questions: We started with 44 in the first block. As of graduation, we are down to 30. The program is changing and is still dynamic in its structure. A lot of chang...

Hey guys, I am a CARE student that just finished the program, I graduate in a few weeks. To answer the question regarding failure of a class - yes. If you drop below a 77 average as your final grade in any course you are forced to repeat it and thi...
One thing to consider is that H and H levels are usually lower in female patients. A Hgb of 11 is actually within normal range for this patient. Considering the patient is sat'ing at 92% and seems to show adequate levels of perfusion, maybe a "risk...

I am currently in the CARE program right now, near finishing up the first class of Block III. The program is working out the kinks, as we were the first large group. We had 44 starting in the fall of last year, and we are down to about 33 right now....

I am in the heat of the CARE program right now. The first semester is a traditional semester and it will be with the traditional students. I can tell you right now it is VERY fast paced once you get into the accelerated portion (5 days after traditi...
Thanks Peachy, and yes we started dissecting the cadaver a little over a month ago, and we've just entered the heart area. Classes are going well but physiology is very tough. If you have the same professor, which I'm sure you will, be prepared for...
