   Just an update.... I graduated in May from Southern! I JUST passed my boards on the 16th! :caduceus: Reading my old posts seem like it was an etenity ago. Nursing school was tough but I really loved it. I miss my classmates and instructors already...

3. Has anyone passed the Hesi but failed Nclex?

   tabbeycatt replied to hica19's topic in NCLEX

   I honestly thought the HESI was harder than the NCLEX. I scored 1112 on the HESI. (our cut off was 900) I think if you passed the HESI then you will be fine on the NLCEX. Also... I took an online Kaplan course. I found that the Kaplan questions ...

   tabbeycatt replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in NCLEX

   Cardiac, Have you gotten any news yet? I just took mine this morning and feel EXACTLY the same way. I didn't have any math questions, a few drugs, and some priority ones. I felt like I focused on each question thinking.... okay is this a "lower le...

6. Lame Duck or Damaged Goods?

   tabbeycatt replied to Unemployeed's topic in West Virginia

   :uhoh21: I really have no words of wisdom about your current situation. I just hope it all works out for you. On the flip side...I know that you have 20 years in ICU and you have your advanced practice nursing degree.... but your role was an "R...

7. What W.Virginia towns/cities do you recommend working in and why?

   tabbeycatt replied to fd5151's topic in West Virginia

   Kev, Boone County, WV would be the place for you! I live in Madison. (Boone County) It is VERY small, very rurual, everyone knows everybody kind of place. I'm about 30 minutes from Charleston. Boone Memorial Hospital is in Madison but I am choosi...

8. Why did YOU choose OB nursing?

   tabbeycatt posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi everyone. I'm a 2nd year nursing student counting the days till graduation (May 13th :balloons: ) I'm not sure what area of nursing I want to start out in. When I first started the program I really wanted to do Labor & Delivery. I have enjoy...

    Best of luck to you. Mountain State is a good school. I have heard it's kind of expensive though. I just started back this past Monday. Boy am I overwhelmed! We are having a 22 chapter test this monday on Growth & Development. I am stresse...

    tabbeycatt replied to Student_Nurse_WV's topic in West Virginia

    Sounds like you are a sure in! How many students do they take in your program? My school accepted students on a "point system". You had to take the NET and score at least 100 to be considered. Then you got points for your pre-req's as well. Like...

    ^ Aw, thanks! :) I definately want to go further and get my BSN. Possibly even my master's one day. But I'll probably work for a year first before I pursue my BSN. WVU Tech has a program to complete your BSN in like a year and a half (I think) an...

13. Show you WV Pride!

    tabbeycatt replied to Student_Nurse_WV's topic in West Virginia

    When I had my little boy in 2001 I decided to quit my job (banking/accounting) and stay at home with him. I knew I would eventually go back to work when he started school but I just couldn't see myself sitting at a desk all day anymore. He was my i...

    I work on the floor (Med-Surg-mostly geriatric pts) and my job is like a CNA's job. This summer has really helped me with my communication skills. I use to get so nervous in clinicals just walking into a pt's room. Now I feel like I know what to do...

15. Starting 2nd and Last Year of School and anxious..anyone else?

    tabbeycatt replied to NurseBunky's topic in General Students

    I start back my 2nd and FINAL year on the 22nd. I'm both excited and nervous. I externed over the summer so I think that will help me clinically. I withdrew last fall from Med-Surg (had some family stuff going on) and it has been a year since I sa...
