1. Taking the NCLEX this saturday. Am I ready? Help!

   Pandorajinel replied to zlimja's topic in NCLEX

   It's been said several times, but just to say it again, the Kaplan questions are much harder than the NCLEX questions. One thing is that you might come across something that you legitimately have never heard of (I came across one disease and on drug ...

2. Nclex today omg-good pop up!!!!!!

   Pandorajinel replied to oztizz184's topic in NCLEX

   6 days before the exam I re-read my Kaplan book and did questions. I read carefully every time something came up in the book that I didn't remember, things I remembered I only skimmed. My last few Kaplan question trainer scores were 70, 70, 70, 68, 7...

   isn't it compensated respiratory acidosis?

4. Priority question; any help appreciated

   Pandorajinel replied to TC1087271's topic in NCLEX

   My Kaplan Instructor always broke it down as "Which one is going to make you jump off your chair?". The short cut for that is ABCs. The patient is a respiratory patient and has had a significant change in respiratory status. By ABCs respiratory issue...

5. NCLEX Kaplan Practice Scores

   Pandorajinel replied to Inori's topic in NCLEX

   I don't use it full out. I use it selectively. I always use step 1 (identify the topic of the question) and then I go straight to the relevant step. The step I would say I've used most often is ABC which is a big help because while I learned it in sc...

7. RN program in AZ but want to take NCLEX in CA

   Pandorajinel replied to kn_absn's topic in NCLEX

   Not exactly the same situation but I was educated in Illinois and will be taking the NCLEX in Illinois, but my license will be issued in California because my family is re-locating there at the end of the year. You apply for your license from the sta...

8. List of supplies to buy for a new Nursing Student

   Pandorajinel replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in General Students

   Figure out quickly what organization methods work best for you, if your program is anything like mine you are about to receive an avalanche of papers. I personally prefer a binder and three hole puncher.

   I got into MVCC as well! I can't wait for orientation.

10. anyones who already taken the teas exam

    Pandorajinel replied to icekangz's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If memory serves we were told at the Application meeting that you get to choose which set of scores is used but you can not combine scores. I would call academic advising and email the head of the nursing program just to be sure. There seems to be al...

    Spring 2010. I'm taking the TEAS this afternoon

13. Question about books/new student

    Pandorajinel replied to SpencerFLA's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That depends on your situation. If you have a car you should consider taking all the books to school but only carrying the ones you are actually going to use for the next class. As you get into the semester you will be able to tell which teachers exp...

15. Bombed a test

    Pandorajinel replied to labchic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    As a previous poster mentioned, grades are very volatile. Especially if its early in the class or the class doesn't accumulate many points. If your class has a high point total over the semester (for example my micro class and general bio class are b...
