  1. The perfect bag

    Organizing Utility Tote in Citrus Medallion | Thirty-One Gifts THIS is the perfect bag. I have gone through several and this one is a keeper. You can find them cheaper on ebay btw. If anyone is interested in seeing how I actually use it for nursing g...
  2. What shoes do you wear?

    I wear these slip on Skechers. They're easy to slip on and off. Not that other shoes are hard to put on but I'll take a break anywhere I can get it. I clean them with a rag and white shoe polish once every week or so to keep them looking clean. I lik...
  3. How hard is the new NCLEX 2013 Test Plan

    I went into the test thinking that the more SATA's you have the better, because that means you're doing good because they're higher level questions. Several people from my graduating classed passed with 75 questions and said almost half their test wa...
  4. How hard is the new NCLEX 2013 Test Plan

    I just took the NCLEX and passed with 75 questions. I only had 4-5 SATA, one EKG, one math, and one picture. I was a little worried because I had heard that the more SATA's you have the better. That wasn't the case for me at all. I had a ton of phar...
  5. My apologies

    I'm having that experience as we speak! I used to think others were exaggerating or being irrational. But.. I took NCLEX today and left the testing center 100% convinced that I failed. The test wasn't particularly hard and that worried me. I thought ...
  6. Anyone who has taken the NCLEX RN after April 1st?

    Thanks for sharing that. We were told something completely different, which sent some people into a panic.
  7. Anyone who has taken the NCLEX RN after April 1st?

    An instructor at my school said they were really beefing up the pharmacology this time around. Has anyone found that to be true?
  8. The time will pass whether or not you're working toward your goal. You WILL turn 30!! Do you want to be a nurse at 30 or do you want to still be working on your pre reqs? That was the talk I had to have with myself a few years ago. I started school a...
  9. Giving an awesome verbal report?

    I just finished my preceptorship in med-surg and I got really good at rattling off patient data and what had happened throughout the night. But when I was asked, "so what's the plan for today?" I froze. Don't forget to know that!
  10. I'm a white woman, tall at 5'10 and chubbier than I should be. I walked into an elderly patients room with two Filipina nurses who were very tiny. Both of them are less than 5'0 tall and barely 100 lbs if that. The patient got wide eyed when he saw m...
  11. Getting accepted is the easy part. Nursing school is a long process and all throughout you will have a roller coaster of emotions. There will be things that build you up and things that tear you down. It's about making a commitment to becoming a nurs...
  12. Losing respect for nursing students

    I agree with what others have said that it sounds like a poor nursing program with poor instructors. I remember my first semester (2011) we had to line up and have our uniforms inspected before clinical. Our group was taught that we were the guests i...
  13. This question might sound like a joke, but it's really not. I left my job to finish my last semester of nursing school and money is running out quickly. I'm about one month away from graduation and getting ready to start applying for jobs. My ideal j...
  14. New passing standard for nclex 2013-2016...Great

    I didn't watch the video so I don't know if it's mentioned, but one of my instructors told us that pharmacology is one of the subjects they are increasing. Just FYI. Know your meds!
  15. Lost in the Details

    In my past two years at nursing school I have followed many different nurses. Being a student and new to charting, I would look over every detail with a fine tooth comb. It is my conclusion that the nurse who documents accurately is the exception, no...
