   zerisse replied to LVNfairy's topic in NCLEX

   Your NCSBN scores are not a gage if you pass pr fail. I'm also doing NCSBN but I'm using it as a guide to get me acquainted with the way the NCLEX exam structure their questions. Good luck! I suggest rescheduling if you do not feel 90% confident of...

   zerisse replied to RN_d1027's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for the info! I already have the Saunder's book and I'm going over Suzanne's first tip... I learned a few new tips form the Saunder's book.

3. Mandatory 5 YEAR Nursing Course starting June 2009

   zerisse replied to Hoss's topic in International

   I definitely agree. However I also think that it is a good idea to make nursing a 5 year course mainly because with the growing number of students taking up nursing (and I'm talking about good schools and not diploma mills) is increasing and we only...

4. Nurses with Hepatitis B in the Philippines?

   zerisse replied to jbauer87's topic in Philippines

   Yes I know about not discussing about Hep B in the Philippines because I have lived in the Philippines for more than 20 years and I think this has something to do with Hep B being sexually transmitted and a blood borne disease. To answer your questio...

5. What are your plans as a RN?

   zerisse replied to gemini_star's topic in Philippines

   Currently my short term plans are to pass the NCLEX (since I'm already in the US) and then inquire about entry level jobs as an RN (hopefully). As I gain experience and confidence I would now want to look into specialization or getting a Master's De...

6. Working while Reviewing: doable?

   zerisse replied to silvermed's topic in International

   I know it gets frustrating when you ask your parents for money while reviewing but I believe that they will understand you and will support you. In fact, passing the test is a good way to repay them. I know how this feels because I am currently rev...

7. Nurses with Hepatitis B in the Philippines?

   zerisse replied to jbauer87's topic in Philippines

   Don't panic. A know a lot of nurses and student nurses who have Hep B because we know that a good number of Filipinos either are carriers of Hep B or have Hep B. My cousin is a Hep B carrier and she already had a go signal to continue applying for ...

8. Retake test failed (Batch June 2006), question (?)

   zerisse replied to hotpotato101's topic in International

   I definitely recommend retaking the exam again to preserve the dignity of being an RN. Those who cheated were very dishonest and I just can't comprehend why they did that in the first place.

9. Making things better for nurses in the Philippines

   zerisse replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

   How can it be easier in the Philippines when there are a lot of RNs who don't even get a job in the hospital because there are no job openings? As a result some volunteer but they can only do that for a few months because they don't get paid. The ir...

11. Studying TIP needed

    zerisse replied to Bella Monroe's topic in Student Assist

    I usually read books "Made Incredibly Easy" before tackling the required books used in class. This just makes it so easy to understand while not overwhelming me with a lot of terms that I am not familiar with. I find that reading the "Made Incredibl...

13. Is nursing school always so unorganized?!?!

    zerisse replied to buggy87's topic in Student Assist

    Technically being in nursing school is a bit unorganized and organized at the same time. See, they're trying to fit a lot of stuff into four years. I just graduated from nursing school and let me tell you this, just find time for a little bit of re...
