  1. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    I was a wreck and was sure I failed when the computer stopped at 75 questions....... but I tried to remind myself that all my questions were not ordinary and required a lot of thought. I took a minute a question, reading both the question and the...
  2. FAILED NCLEX-RN

    Sorry I didn't respond to this email. My life has been a mess with family issues. I hope you passed your exam. I learned early on that reading the ATI books didn't help me that much. I would take all the ATI exams available online because sometime...
  3. CCRI Acceptance?

    I went back and read your first post. If you want to do well, go to CCRI and save money to start off and then transfer to get the benefits of the RIC nursing program. CCRI is better at assisting students that have been out of school for awhile or n...
  4. How can I best assure that I'll get job after nursing school?

    Get a "per diem" position at a local hospital that you want to work for after graduation so you are in the union. When you graduate you get a shot at jobs before outsiders because you are in the union. Some students work as little as 15 hrs a month...
  5. CCRI Acceptance?

    Try this site if you don't like the other. http://www.bestnursingdegree.com/programs/bachelors-in-nursing/. Same results. CCRI has a sister "college compact" with RIC so you can take your general education credits and pre-req's for nursing and t...
  6. My nursing classes were always "taught" in the active learning style. You have to effectively reach students with different types of learning styles (auditory, tactile, visual) and the active approach gives everyone a chance to not just understand t...
  7. My PhD Journey - Part 1

    Wow!! I had a professor like you and she is my mentor. For all of the tiring hours you will reap rewards but also know that someone with your drive inspires students to strive to go beyond what they imagined. Great work and Good Luck!!
  8. CCRI Acceptance?

    I went to CCRI first and transferred to RIC and it is a great way to save money. As far as their NCLEX pass rates, RIC has had the highest pass rate since 2007 according to http://www.health.ri.gov/data/2008-2010NursingExamPassRates.pdf. The ability...
  9. The single best piece of advice you've gotten/gave

    Practice NCLEX questions daily.
  10. Caring For A Family Suffering A Fetal Demise

    beautiful story....made me cry. The world needs to be filled with people as caring as you! :)
  11. HOW CAN I PASS ATI?

    Thanks!!
  12. HELP ATI comprehensive predictor :/

    Honestly what I said above, "I suggest reviewing test taking strategies, timing yourself with an NCLEX book, and trying to remain calm during the test. That's my strategy." I knew the material. They pick simple stuff. It's the format of the questio...
  13. HELP ATI comprehensive predictor :/

    Thanks so much for all your support! I PASSED MY ATI EXAM WITH A NATIONAL SCORE OF 93!!!!! :clpty:
  14. HELP ATI comprehensive predictor :/

    AWESOME!!!!!! Wish me luck. My test is on Friday. I am SOOOOOOO stressed out about it!!
  15. HOW CAN I PASS ATI?

    ATI books are great for review for general knowledge but even if you read them 100 times they won't prepare you for this test. The questions at the back of each chapter are not the type on the exam and, like me, if most your nursing exams have been ...
