1. This is why you should be careful what you post on facebook

   Major1 replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

   I did the same thing! I consider myself a responsible person. I do not drink, party or do anything crazy, but like you, I have worked too hard to get my spot that jeopardizing my spot for something very preventable is insane. I started Nursing sch...

2. Skills Lab kit

   Major1 replied to Yummy Chocolate's topic in General Students

   I used to go to Ivy Tech but before starting the program, I transferred to KY. As mentioned before, my ATI kit was over $500 which is expensive. Like some of you, I have also had to pay for the syllabus and the packaged books at Ivy Tech are quite ...

3. Skills Lab kit

   Major1 replied to Yummy Chocolate's topic in General Students

   The actual ATI tests are required, but none of it is incorporated into the class. All ATI studying and review is done on our own. There are lots of practice tests and immediate feedback, progress reports, etc, but it is still a HUGE amount of time ...

4. Skills Lab kit

   Major1 replied to Yummy Chocolate's topic in General Students

   What is an ATI kit? An ATI kit is primarily a bunch of books and DVD's from the Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) that we have to review and then take a test over. This is supposed to ensure a higher passing rate for the NCLEX because the ATI ...

   We were not allowed to buy 'used' on the skills bag or the ATI kit. I actually had an ATI kit given to me and was still told that this would not be acceptable to use!

7. What does your username mean?

   Major1 replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Humor

   My name is is for my son. His name is Major and he is my only child, so therefore my name is Major1. This is a password I use quite often also, so it was chosen because of the ease of remembrance. I start first semester of RN school in 2 weeks so I...

8. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

   Major1 replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in New Nurse

   I took the opportunity to join PTK at the community college while trying to get into the nursing program, primarily because it would look good on the resume. I graduated with an Associates in Science degree last week and start nursing school in Janu...

9. What to expect for your Fundamentals & your first clinicals!

   Major1 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

   Cuezee2 I just read your post. Could you please tell me what ADPIE is? I haven't started nursing school yet, but I am now curious as to what this means. Thanks

10. How did you get through the waiting?

    Major1 replied to Soon2bRN1222's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know it's gonna be hard once were in - but this is pure torture - so close, yet so far. At least once we're in, all we need to do is stay in! That's what scares me already, and day one does not start until January 10th!

11. How did you get through the waiting?

    Major1 replied to Soon2bRN1222's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Soon2bRN122- All I can do is agree with the other posters. Find something to occupy your time. If not, the wait will consume you. My application deadline was July 1. I just found out Monday, that thankfully, I did get accepted. It was my third t...

    Major1 replied to Soon2bRN1222's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Chris99mu- I think we all need to remember who is our Pilot, like you said. That was very good information to go by. Many times what we want is not best. Good luck as you continue your journey, whatever that may be!

15. Pre-reqs for a CRNA?

    Major1 replied to MB103's topic in CRNA

    I have a friend who is a CRNA and she said it was required of her to work for at least a year in ICU. I don't know if this matters but she went to school in Kansas.
