2. Florida Nurses, please give it to me straight!

   CariocaRN posted a topic in Florida

   Hi everyone, I'm from NY and I'm considering a move to SW Florida (Ft. Myers, Lee County area). I have a BSN but no experience at all other than clinicals. I am triligual if that makes a difference. First of all, do you think I stand a chance to ge...

3. My nursing dreams are over . I failed.

   CariocaRN replied to CariocaRN's topic in General Students

   I know it has not been easy for anybody. I have a good friend who failed 4th semester twice and she got kicked out literally days before pinning. It was heartbreaking. City Tech is not unorganized in my opinion, their rules are clear, they are just e...

4. My nursing dreams are over . I failed.

   CariocaRN replied to CariocaRN's topic in General Students

   Hi! Yes, I appealed through City Tech. Their appeal process takes forever. I was counting myself out, so I had taken the test to get into a LPN program and everything. The waiting was killing me! The day before classes were supposed to start, they ca...

   OmedRN, I wasn't able to send you a private message here, but I just emailed you.

6. Did u guys study the day before your boards?

   CariocaRN replied to joyarenas's topic in NCLEX

   I took the test on a thursday and the last day I studied was the previous sunday. Still passed after 76 questions. All the topics you are focusing on and scared about might not even be on the test. The questions were very random. The only thing I wou...

7. School starts tomorrow!

   CariocaRN replied to ctasy's topic in General Students

   Content wise, first semester is really not bad. They will try to get you acclimated to the program and intimidate you/ scare the beejesus out of you. Don't take it personal, that is normal. We all went through that. The instructor might make you fee...

   CariocaRN replied to Dawn Vylet's topic in NCLEX

   It works for NY State too. Got the good pop-up and then 2 days later paid the $8 to confirm. Yup, RN!!!! :D:D

9. Has anybody here who was a mostly B student in school pass NCLEX the first time?

   CariocaRN replied to student_nurse123's topic in NCLEX

   C student here!! I passed on my 1st try, computer shut off after 76 questions. I only did Kaplan questions and reviewd a couple points. I was also very anxious and expecting the worst but I did it. If I did it, you can do it too!!! You CAN do this!!...

10. Double major? Or not....

    CariocaRN replied to amjam's topic in General Students

    I think you will have your hands full with nursing. Once your start nursing school, you can (and should) spend your summers doings nursing externships to gain experience and build your resume. Those are 12 hr shifts usually. So I really doubt you wi...

11. How do you guys take notes

    CariocaRN replied to nickster10's topic in General Students

    Ask your professor if he/she allows you to record the lecture. About half of them are totally okay with it. That helped me the most. Then you can go home and listen to the audio again and again, or sit down and take notes and rewind as many times as ...

13. Passed NCLEX 1st try, 75 questions. How?

    CariocaRN replied to CarmelValley's topic in NCLEX

    Awesome!! :yeah: I also passed after only 75 questions and I have to agree. I was in a panic, but believe me, if you graduated from a good school you will be pleasant surprised with the NCLEX. You endured what most people were not able to and gradua...

14. City Tech nursing program

    CariocaRN replied to AGal110's topic in New York

    Hey dingdong, I think you can just retake Math 1275. You will probably get an A the second time around since you already took the class, as opposed to Math 1375 which can be harder. I don't think financial aid would pay for the class if you retake it...

15. City Tech nursing program

    CariocaRN replied to AGal110's topic in New York

    Yes, you can apply before you have your license but you can only take the classes that do not require clinicals (a couple nursing classes in the bachelors program are theory only, no clinicals. You can take those right after you graduate). You are on...
