  1. California BRN

    Hi !! Just wanted to start a thread for Ca residents who have taken the NCLEX and how soon they found their results online... Please post your test date and the date your license posted :) I tested June 29... Nothing so far Ps. According to the PVT ...
  2. Social Media, worth it or not?

    So we've lost about 4 people in our program over the last few months regarding issues with social media. I wanted to start this thread in order to see what other peoples' programs are doing. The faculty have honestly put this information in our sylla...
  3. Nursing School Pen Pal

    Hi! If anyone is interested in a pen-pal I am going to be graduating in June from a BSN program and would love to talk to someone who's going to be going through similar this next year!! PM me!
  4. NCLEX Alternate format help

    Hi! So I was wondering if anyone out there has heard of a NCLEX review book/cd that significantly if not entirely focuses on alternate format? Idealistically I picture a practice book/cd that has ALL "select all that apply" or alternate formats... I'...
  5. Magazine Subscriptions

    Depends on your level of knowledge and what you intend on learning from the journals. I'm a 3rd year SN and Nursing 2010 is annoying to me, they don't really cover new information but teach you the basics. I like the American Journal of Nursing becau...
  6. Daytonite has passed away...

    I'm at a loss for words. The assistance that I got from her helped me build my foundation in nursing. What an amazing person. I pray for her family
  7. Nursing Research

    Hello Does ANYONE have advice on a supplemental book to read when reading a text on nursing research? I'm not loving our text book in our research class and I'm looking for something to put the concepts in better/different terms... PLEASE HELP! THANK...
  8. What you wished you'd reviewed?

    Hmm lets see... anatomy and physiology... probably the MOST important pre-req's ever. Know where those organs are and what they're connected to. Also, know your physio pretty well.. it will make everything a lot easier in Med/Surg ESPECIALLY electrol...
  9. LVN same as 1st year RN?

    No, It all depends on what type of program/school you are doing. My friend is doing the LVN at our local city college and her 1.5 years to complete LVN will require her to bridge into their LVN-RN program for another year making her 2 year RN actuall...
  10. Working the night shift

    Wow, I've been doing night shifts off and on for about 4 years now. It's HARD! I work only part time so that's 2 12hr shifts fri/sat night. I have nursing school mon-thurs. On my thursday nights I switch my schedule around. I end up taking a nap duri...
  11. Faculty evaluations

    Its funny you ask because we just got "lectured" on evals. In nursing, whether you are in a BSN or ADN program you are expected to be a mature, responsible adult. If you have problems with a professor it is your responsibility to attempt to address t...
  12. Do you use a nursing bag?

    I use one that I got from our local nursing union, it's like a messenger that zips. They're good because you can make sure that you keep your essentials in this bag only so you never show up to clinical without, say your stethoscope or pen light...
  13. The "Curve"

    our pass rate was 88% last year...
  14. The "Curve"

    So after being in a BSN program for my second year I have come to have mixed feelings on the "curve". Many instructors do it many different ways, whether it be by extra credit questions, or using the highest grade and tapering accordingly, or whateve...
  15. Albumin and Protein levels

    Albumin is also an indicator of nutrition status... I think...
