1. Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

   rmfrier replied to rmfrier's topic in New Nurse

   Iwilldothis: IF the tables were turned: I would be sad and upset, but I certainly wouldn't take it out on my friends. Friends are there to be supportive, not to up one another. It sounds like you may be someone that would be upset with me as well ...

2. Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

   rmfrier replied to rmfrier's topic in New Nurse

   I didn't say "EVEN" in "they didn't pass the HESI the second time." When you quote it that way, it does look bad. I was just giving background information as to why I think they are so mad. Why would they think that I am better than them? They were...

3. Texas Children's in Houston?

   rmfrier replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in Texas

   I do know if you take the NCLEX in TEXAS you get your result pretty quick. I got mine in a day. I don't know how Washington works. Starting pay within the Houston City limits is anywhere from 22-25 an hour depending on if you work outside the medi...

   We did peds for 8 weeks and then switched to OB for 8 weeks. Psych will only be for 6-8 weeks and that will mean two clinical days when Psych starts. Peds was at TExas Childrens, which is where I work now as an RN. OB is at Memorial City which is ...

5. Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

   rmfrier replied to rmfrier's topic in New Nurse

   It is so bizaar. I had a friend that was taking KAplan with them and I asked her to tell them I was trying to call them to check on them. I just wanted to see if everything was okay since I hadn't been able to get a hold of them. My friend said wh...

6. Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

   rmfrier replied to rmfrier's topic in New Nurse

   Well, I had one finally reply to me via email and she said our ideas of friendship differ and that I thought I was better than them. Never once did I ever think or act that way. I did live my life very different than them, but never said anything ...

7. Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

   rmfrier posted a topic in New Nurse

   Has anyone experienced their classmates whom you thought were your close friends mad at you because you passed HESI and NCLEX, and they haven't passed HESI after 2nd time? I am just flabbergasted. After phone calls were ignored, I finally found out...

8. Do I need more questions?

   rmfrier replied to Deb123j's topic in NCLEX

   I have three kids and what I did, was get on my laptop at night when I would go to bed and do at least 100 NCLEX questions for 4 weeks without fail. If I thought I wouldn't be able to do it one night, I doubled up the night before or the night after...

9. Saunders 4th edition???

   rmfrier replied to Yira's topic in NCLEX

   I don't think Saunders is a bad study tool as it does help you learn content, but the difficulty level isn't there like Kaplan. I stayed with Kaplan the whole time and did very little SAunders after I realized it wasn't challenging enough. After ta...

    Peds and OB aren't hard, but it is more time management with those classes as far as the workload. Med/Surg 2 is probably your hardes semester I would say. Med/Surg 3 is difficult as well though, but at that point, you have pretty much made it. Co...

13. Saunders 4th edition???

    rmfrier replied to Yira's topic in NCLEX

    I personally thought Saunders was a little easier than NCLEX. I found that KAPLAN questions resembled NCLEX, but with more difficulty. This is just my opinion. I passed first time. Good luck!

14. Anyone Pass Nclex-RN studying 3 wks or less?

    rmfrier replied to Born2bRN's topic in NCLEX

    I graduated December 13th with a HESI score of 1031, took Kaplan the week before Christmas, took NCLEX December 26th and found out that I passed on December 27th. I stopped around 103 and I too got a lot of select all that apply. Those are just nas...
