   oreo84 replied to Epona's topic in Virginia

   @ Epona Do you mind sharing which home health agency you will be working for? I will be relocating to the Hampton Roads area from Ohio at some point this summer. I'll have about 6 months experience in nursing at that point, but most of the hospitals ...

   oreo84 replied to oreo84's topic in Virginia

   Thanks everyone! I'm planning on staying where I am for the time being and working for about 6 months or so before I move anyways... so hopefuly by that time jobs will be easier to find because I'll have SOME experience. I'm sort of planning this aro...

   @ givingup2009 Yeah I'm hoping to get the quick results on Thursday! I really hope I passed. I did the Kaplan review class and test trainers which I think was helpful. I guess we'll see. I think I got about 6-7 SATA - and actually my last three quest...

   I took my test today! It feels so good to be done! I had 75 questions.... hopefully I passed! I feel pretty good about it because I really can't imagine myself doing so terrible that the computer wouldn't have even given me the chance to answer more ...

9. Kaplan Diagnostic/Readiness Tests vs Test Trainers

   oreo84 replied to oreo84's topic in NCLEX

   PS - I never heard that Kaplan claims they have the "formula for success"! Thats hilarious! Its hard to imagine that anyone would think that just by taking a review class that they will pass just like that. LOL. I really don't know much about Kaplan ...

    oreo84 replied to oreo84's topic in NCLEX

    Hi! I'm not too familiar with Kenwood but I did want to throw out another idea for you. If you are renting I live in an apartment complex (not townhomes though) called Deer Hill which is off of Beechmont Ave just west of Mt Washington. The drive to d...

    oreo84 replied to nursegirl513's topic in Ohio

    I really didn't mean to come off like I was complaing about Univerversity. I very much appreciate being able to go to clinical and the nurses that do explain things to me when they have the time. I do feel as if I got to do/see a lot at that clinical...
