2. Exam prep for NCC RNC-OB

   Laur318 replied to AreN4lyfe's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi! I’m taking maternal-newborn (also thru NCC) pretty soon. Like as soon as I can do a few practice tests. I used mometrix years ago for the TEAS since I’d been out of school for years. I was hoping to see some reviews for mometrix. Good luck a...

3. Nurses March into Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Health Commission Meeting

   Laur318 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Union

   Yikes. Is this why there are so many high-paying travel nursing jobs here?

4. Nursing Spirituality

   Laur318 replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

   Great discussion. To be able to support people in their time of need is an absolute blessing- especially if you can support them emotionally/spiritually. I think that caring for patients is a calling, a duty, and a privilege. In this field we are in ...

5. What can I do for education/experience while in nursing school?

   Laur318 replied to pcat518's topic in CNM

   It looked to me like 1 year RN experience was a requirement not a preference, unfortunately. I would hope a combined short-term experience as an RN + DONA certification should help!

   Retake the TEAS. Get the mometrix book called "ATI Secrets" and the ATI TEAS app on your phone. See where you are falling short and re-read that section of the mometrix book. The book also has practice exams. You don't have to re-submit your nursing...

    No, definitely not. I took most of my classes at gateway (60%) and housatonic (30%) - I got in to Norwalk where I took 2 classes. good luck!

    Buy the mometrix book "ATI TEAS secrets" and get 2 apps for TEAS test prep on your phone. One is from ATI and was free to download but with all the test questions it was $9.99 - well worth it. There is another app like it from a different developer- ...

    Not sure why this didn't post, I already replied! (Fellow Norwalk Student here) I use Prime, so I had everything in my cart on Amazon. I didn't want to purchase online though, due to conflicting reviews, I was unsure of the fit/cut/styles. I was expe...

    @ Thatchickomi I am also very anxious about starting NCC. I called two professors (C.Y. and K.H.) and while I know the first one went away on vacation, neither have returned my calls. I am wondering if we need 12 or 24 months of PrepU software for Br...

    @ Fauzia At NCC, we were only given one assignment from Taylor Fundamentals. Thank you for your insight regarding dosage calculations. I will get started! Does anyone know if we have to keep buying books throughout school?
