1. Live Scan Fingerprints

   FLDoula replied to pradamary's topic in Florida

   I would call the FL BON to see what's required. Live Scan was expensive. In Pensacola I paid $85 just this past September. Problem came in that they could not read the fingerprints so the FBI had to do a regular background check and it took longer. I...

2. Failed NCLEX-RN Twice... Need help please!

   FLDoula replied to MrMango's topic in NCLEX

   I used Hurst, NCSBN 8 week review, NLCLEX 3500 (especially the alternative format questions) I found that Hurst the best for review and NCSBN best for questions. They write the exam... their questions really make you think critically. And it's not ...

4. Did Anyone NOT Study for the NCLEX and Do Well?

   FLDoula replied to lifelearningrn's topic in NCLEX

   I graduated in August, took the NCLEX in October and passed in 75. We also had exams throughout school that "mirrored" NCLEX and had HESI exams at the end of every class and a HESI Exit. Passed all HESI's except one. I studied for it.... maybe more ...

5. FEELING CONFUSED

   FLDoula replied to STRAWBERRI's topic in NCLEX

   See that K+ level? What are your norms for K+? (3.5 - 5.0) And the Na is low. (norm 135-145) Whenever I saw high or low K+ levels in an answer... I pick it. Pick the answer that has the most critical findings in it. In this case it's the potassium. T...

6. Buying New books from Amazon?

   FLDoula replied to emde's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've bought and sold a lot of books for school from Amazon for myself and my 3 kids but not my nursing books....except things like study guides and NCLEX study guides. I would say as long as you make sure it's the correct edition. As far as the CD's ...

7. Taking NLCEX RN Tomorrow

   FLDoula replied to jjvidroRN's topic in NCLEX

   Good luck! You studied the same way I did. I took it today in Mobile, AL. (I actually live in FL but Mobile is our closest testing center) Got the good pop up! Yay! It was unlike any test I've ever taken! Just take it one question at a time! And thin...

8. NCSBN REVIEW

   FLDoula replied to ssk5's topic in NCLEX

   I'm taking the NCSBN 8 week review. It's a combination of content, interactive quizzes, postests, and you will find a huge section of practice questions. The questions are tough! There is a 150 question pre-test that will help as far as identifying y...

9. Failed fundamentals HESI exam. Why?

   FLDoula replied to fay92's topic in HESI

   These HESI exams are a completely different animal. I failed my Fundamental's HESI also. After that I took my instructor's suggestion and purchased the HESI Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX_RN Examination, 3rd Edition. (blue/white book) Used that ...

10. New back-to-school worry: Unvaccinated classmates

    FLDoula replied to wtbcrna's topic in Headlines

    3 of my 4 kids are fully vaccinated. I'm not concerned about them. However.... My youngest son (aged 23 now) had his first vaccines at 2 months no problem. The second set at 4 months he had a reaction to the Pertussis vaccine. Screamed like a wounded...

11. Considering a non - accredited school

    FLDoula replied to Trust in Jesus's topic in General Students

    I just graduated from Pensacola State. Have you considered them? Or West FL? I will say that at Pensacola Christian they do have a great student:clinical instructor ratio. Like 3:1. We were envious. I've also heard that those at PCC have no hard time...

12. Anyone else bad at math?

    FLDoula replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm not good at math. I'm 52 and had been out of school for just a little while. :) I started at pre-algebra and worked my way up. I still suck at math. Math for nursing is not particularly complex. It's basically the same formula's over and over a...

    Glad you're feeling better! I also had the post holiday weight loss reduction program right after Christmas along with my oldest daughter and DIL. Never knew 3 people could be so ill and still be alive. My poor husband still has this image of me sitt...
