1. First day of Nursing school..What should I expect?

   NnSweets replied to Valery0725's topic in General Students

   It's hard work, a difficult upper college level type lecture class is what you sould expect. Clinical might be like CNA type work but from my experience the lecture and lab parts are just as difficult, actually more difficult than any pure science el...

2. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

   NnSweets replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX

   I should clarify that for the most part I am speaking anecdotally from experiences of myself and other June 2011 NCLEX-RN test takers. It seems that those that are passing in minimum questions are in fact seeing a high ratio of SATA style question...

3. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

   NnSweets replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX

   Despite what some people might say...SATA's are higher level thinking questions. The reason we are seeing a lot is that they take much more trial to test as valid questions than any other. Even if they ask more simple facts, they are still difficult ...

4. Need help with Psychosocial Integrity please!

   NnSweets replied to Sirius14's topic in NCLEX

   Also, asking a patient a "Why?" question, a yes/no question or saying things like "there, there, it's going to be alright" are wrong nearly 100% of the time.

5. NCSBN Scores: Please Help

   NnSweets replied to RNTriathlete's topic in NCLEX

   I did terribly on NCSBN...I found their questions to be strangely worded. I could never meet their "passing" standard of 75%. (Scored consistently in the mid 60's to low 70's range.) I switched to kaplan Q bank which is much more NCLEX like in my opi...

7. Failed NCLEX-RN, Had New Grad Position Lined Up... Please Help Me

   NnSweets replied to Temcam7409's topic in NCLEX

   I know it's very expensive, but I HIGHLY recommend Kaplan. Even if you can just afford their Q bank and not the entire course. their question are very similar to NCLEX. Kaplan plus the infection control mnemonic that can be found on this site are the...

8. Looking for opinions...

   NnSweets replied to Vaxene's topic in General Nursing

   I would, if that's truly your passion...That is not that bad of a drive. In my area I know some nurses that drive 45 minutes just to get to the train station and then take a 1.5 hour train ride to get to work each way. Follow your gut feeling, it is ...

   NnSweets replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   I always send a handwritten thank you note. When I was hired for my last job, before the days of nursing school...The hiring manager told me the decision was between me and one other person and the thank you note sealed the deal. It's personal, it's ...

    NnSweets replied to Blueorchid's topic in Safety

    Sending prayers...But if you do the recommended prophylaxis that they offer your chance of contracting anything is honestly very small, even if they decide not to give you anything. You are most likely safe. It happens to the best of us. You did the ...

13. NCLEX RN on Monday....can't Sleep!!

    NnSweets replied to dizzyray822's topic in NCLEX

    You are in fight or flight mode. Your body will sleep when it has to. I was a total insomniac for 2 weeks leading up to the exam and then crashed and got a good night in the night before the exam. You sound ready, good luck!

14. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

    NnSweets replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX

    75 questions, took me 2 hours 15 minutes. I stopped counting SATA's after 22, I had 5 in a row! Got the good pop up though so fingers crossed. It was brutal though.

15. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    NnSweets replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

    Took NCLEX-RN today with 75 questions. Got the good pop up about 40 minutes after testing from my smart phone....Feeling cautiously optimistic. NCLEX is hard! But as of now, it looks like I passed!
