   mpoppym replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in New Nurse

   I used to wear the stockings, and then I discovered Zensah Tech+ Compression Socks! So much cooler looking, longer lasting and way more comfortable! I don't do a shift without wearing these!

4. Your take on the hurst review!

   mpoppym replied to nursearike's topic in NCLEX

   I just finished the live hurst review. I felt like I got my money's worth! However, I haven't taken the NCLEX yet...... That being said, this review is for CONTENT....You can't answer the questions right if you don't know your stuff, right? It pull...

5. Passed out at clinicals

   mpoppym replied to McAndRN2b's topic in General Students

   Try researching vaso-vagal syncope and neurocardiogenic syncope. It is inherited, so probably you know one of your parents has passed out in the past. As you have learned in nursing school already, certain things can trigger a vaso-vagal response an...

   http://www.nln.org is the website. You might have to register, but it's in there. Let us know how you did!

7. In what order should I take these classes?

   mpoppym replied to Aly529's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think you have an excellent plan! I did the same thing, had the math prep classes, took it slow, kept a 4.0 and I just got accepted into nursing school for this fall. I had so much fun in my classes, used the professor rating website to help me pic...

8. In what order should I take these classes?

   mpoppym replied to Aly529's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am in a basic chemistry class now, and it's the last pre-req I have to take. I was terrified of it, but since I have a good professor, it turned out to be one of my favorite classes. Our class is mostly basic algebra calculations. I would be tot...

9. IRSC nursing Fall 2011

   mpoppym replied to msnole's topic in Florida

   @wkbonesteel, good to see you online! How did you ever guess it was me? haha :) Okay so I kinda figured speculation could be dangerous, but oh how fun it is! At this point the mailman thinks I have some kind of crush on him as I always run out to g...

10. IRSC nursing Fall 2011

    mpoppym replied to msnole's topic in Florida

    Okay this is going to drive some people crazy but I think it's funny.... Last semester the deadline to apply was Sept 10 and they got their letters on Oct 2. This year, March 10. If you take April 2 and add the 7 days they were closed, that makes it...

11. NLN!

    mpoppym replied to slangley's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Which section did you get your lowest score? For reading/vocab, I would buy other study guides besides the ones you have and take practice tests. Also, NLN has free practice tests online that you can take. I took all of them! When I got a low sco...

    mpoppym replied to msnole's topic in Florida

    Thank you! I'm still anxious though. At 184, I think you have a good chance. My fingers are crossed for all of you! :loveya:

13. NLN!

    mpoppym replied to slangley's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Oh yes, I figured out that memorizing vocabulary words doesnt really help, because you could spend time memorizing 3,000 words and maybe those arent the ones on the test! Time spent reading the NLN guide for test taking strategies is more valuable s...

14. NLN!

    mpoppym replied to slangley's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I used the one published by NLN. That is the main one to study, and the most helpful. However, I have a lot of others (I know, I was overly concerned about passing) and if I could choose one of the others it would be the McGraw-Hill because it cover...

    mpoppym replied to msnole's topic in Florida

    My score is 206, due to the fact that all my pre-reqs are done except chemistry which I am in now.....
