2. Where's the best place to sell your books after graduation?

   RickLP posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi folks: Sorry if I am posting in the wrong forum, but looked around and didn't exactly find a perfect location for this post. I graduated about 2 years ago and have done absolutely nothing with the text books I have from school, some of them weren'...

3. Never failed anything, until today...

   RickLP posted a topic in General Nursing

   Sorry folks, I bet a lot of people on this board will share the same sentiment with me. I thought it would never happen to me but it's actually eating at me so bad that I can't sleep.... I have never failed any test in my career so far and have been ...

   RickLP posted a topic in New Nurse

   So I'm almost a year into garduation working in CCU, I like my job for the most part. Today, I experienced something that I would expect to experience as I progress. My patient was a 80 something years old and had a valvuloplasty, still a bit loopy f...

5. Kaplan vs. ATI

   RickLP replied to RB_RN_MSN's topic in New Nurse

   We were given the ATI books for our exit exam. ATI is a pretty content driven and the questions were hard, but I felt like Kaplan style questions best prepared me for my NCLEX. I also did the HURST review. I would really recommend the HURST review fo...

9. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   RickLP replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Took mine on the 27th, got the usual message and kept me from going to the CC page. I am really HOPING that is a good sign. The test was terrible, terrifying and no one should have to endure that test more than once in my honest opinion.... Count dow...

10. KAPLAN WORKS OR NOT????????

    RickLP replied to dream1987's topic in NCLEX

    I did Hurst and Kaplan. In my opinion, the HURST review helped out a lot with general knowledge and they "watered" everything down to the point where it's so easy to understand and memorize. Kaplan was beneficial in the question banks. I literally ha...
