1. NCLEX distraction

   crok9014 replied to crok9014's topic in NCLEX

   Unfortunately I got the "The candidate currently has test results on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time" pop-up which isn't the good pop-up but it's not the credit card page either which means there's hope but a longer wait. Th...

2. NCLEX distraction

   crok9014 posted a topic in NCLEX

   So I took the dreaded NCLEX today and besides leaving there feeling unworthy to be a nurse I am really kind of frustrated. The Air Conditioning was not working so the room was, in my opinion, very hot and became distracting for me. I had to take a ...

   crok9014 replied to lucylu 777's topic in General Nursing

   I would love for my hubby to work a 12-hour night shift in the ER with me... only problem is that he's a Corrections Officer and I definitely wouldn't want to shadow him for a day! :)

5. I'm Sooooo Intimidated!!!!

   crok9014 replied to NursingStudent!'s topic in General Students

   I just began this semester as well and completely agree with the read, read, read some more concept, however for me organization has been most important. In my program we take 4 courses, which all intertwine somehow resulting in having multiple bind...

   crok9014 replied to Skiingnurse2b's topic in General Students

   I agree with much REIDESERT has to say! My oldest daughter will be 2 in April and my youngest is 10 weeks old. I started my RN Program 2 weeks ago and although I feel VERY overwhelmed, I am so excited as well! Whenever I feel like I must be crazy ...

   crok9014 replied to ccac international's topic in General Students

   Hello! Did you mean to say you are starting in Jan. 2009? Are you going to Boyce Campus? If so, I might be in your class! I just bought my NRN101 books today and they came to $625 including the tote. Make sure that if your are trying to buy used...

    crok9014 replied to HeatherTN's topic in General Students

    I begin an 18 month accelerated program next week and have two very young daughters. Luckily, my husband is very supportive but has to work A LOT for us to be able to afford my venture. He is a correction's officer with a crazy shift so although he...

    crok9014 replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

    I had the same problem getting into my A&PII class... they gave priority registration to those already in the program. I spoke with the prof. and we agreed that I could attend class "unofficially" because th school simply would not allow more st...

13. What a terrible way to start off the new year

    crok9014 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    I encountered a similar setback when I didn't get accepted my first time last year. I was 27, just got out of the military and had a 3 month-old. I decided not to give up (luckily I have a very supportive husband although we are dirt broke!) and wo...

14. Palm Pilot

    crok9014 replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    I got the Palm TX on Black Friday from the Palm store... they had a special that was $100 off a $300 purchase. The TX was $299 so I bought a car charger which took me over and got the discount plus free shipping. I'd check their site to see of they...

15. CCAC Boyce anyone?

    crok9014 replied to crok9014's topic in Pennsylvania

    I tried finding used books as well, but when I sold back my A&P books this semester, the buy-back guy said that he was only allowed to buy back 2 of the NRN101 books meaning everything else will be new this coming semester. I'm not positive on t...
