1. Roosevelt hospital-start in July!

   phabuious replied to citygrl646's topic in New York

   The test has about 10 computation questions and the rest are identification of meds. Human resources should have given you a review packet for the test.

2. Roosevelt hospital-start in July!

   phabuious replied to citygrl646's topic in New York

   Congrats! I work at Roosevelt in L&D since last September. The pharm test is fairly hard, but you get 2 chances if you don't pass the first time. Orientation is classroom for the first few weeks, and then is floor specific I think. I really l...

3. State Your CUNY SCHOOL AND GPA YOU HAD WHEN ACCEPTED INTO NURSING PROGRAM

   phabuious replied to FutureRNelizabeth's topic in New York

   I really liked BI - I think there's the same drama in all nursing schools - I am finishing my BSN at NYU and they complain there about the same things we complained about when I was doing my clinicals. I really ended up liking it though, it was real...

4. State Your CUNY SCHOOL AND GPA YOU HAD WHEN ACCEPTED INTO NURSING PROGRAM

   phabuious replied to FutureRNelizabeth's topic in New York

   I had a 4.0 in those classes. I turned them down and went to Beth Israel because I didn't like the lottery system they used for registering for morning vs. afternoon classes. I would have been class of December 2006. The semester I got in they took ...

5. Beth Israel Hospital

   phabuious replied to nurse2btracy's topic in New York

   Going to my clinicals at BI I went through Penn Station (coming from the Upper West) and I rode the 2/3 to 14th Street and then did the long transfer to the L and rode that over to 1st Ave (you come out right behind the hospital), if you are going to...

6. Need help creating a map for testing

   phabuious replied to Petitern07's topic in New Nurse

   First of all, I think you need to sit down and take a breath before starting anything. The NCLEX is an importatant exam, but it is not as scary as it seems. Going in with confidence and calmness is half the battle, you need to be able to concentrate....

7. taking Nclex tomorrow morning

   phabuious replied to mycatmax's topic in NCLEX

   I am not a nervous tester either, but my stomach was in knots for the first time in a VERY long time the night before (this past Sunday) and when I went down to test. My advice, try and get some sleep, and get there early, don't let anyone rush you ...

8. Nclex study question

   phabuious replied to nclexwarrior's topic in NCLEX

   I used Sauders, Kaplan Strategies and a Lippencott alternate test questions books (see my other post about "great nclex book). I studied for about 2 weeks and used step 1 of "suzanne's study plan" found in the stickies in this forum. She says to take...

10. Great NCLEX Review Book

    phabuious replied to phabuious's topic in NCLEX

    I said that I would come back and let everyone know if the book was good for the NCLEX, and I really think it was one of the best parts of my review! I had 6 select-all-that-apply questions out of 75 and there were lots of these in the review book. ...

11. Took the test this A.M.

    phabuious replied to grnmtngirl's topic in NCLEX

    LoL...I've been checking the NY State BON website all day to see if I *might* have a license number already...I'm not generally someone who gets too worked up and anxious about things, but I really don't like waiting for this! Can you imagine what t...

12. what did you think of the nclex?

    phabuious replied to yoshimi vs robots's topic in NCLEX

    I completely agree, take the NCLEX ASAP after graduation, the longer you wait, the further it is from your mind- also you will be surprised with what you know that you think you don't! (for me it was the things that I knew best which were all of the ...

13. What # of questions did u pass the NCLEX with?

    phabuious replied to teresab_2000's topic in New Nurse

    I passed at 75 :)with 6 select-all-that-applies and no calculations

14. Took the test this A.M.

    phabuious replied to grnmtngirl's topic in NCLEX

    I took the exam this afternoon too, and I completely agree with you. Mine shut off at 75 and I got 6 select all that applys (they were the only new style questions I got)...I'm taking that as a good sign, means that I was testing at a higher level (...

    Good luck to everyone taking the test on 7/30 (including me!) - a few hours and it will all be over! We can do this, no worries!
