1. I'm 30 years old, is it a problem to be a Nurse?

   hosta replied to abkhazia92's topic in General Nursing

   Just wrote my NCLEX RN exam, passed, and turned 50 years old today. You are not too old to start, not at all. There are some advantages of being a mature student, namely life experience. Don't let age deter you! Go for it.

3. Uworld and your NCLEX experience

   hosta replied to JNcCole15's topic in NCLEX

   Good job!! That's exactly what I did - made notes on the rationales, then reviewed them a couple of times before writing the exam. The only information I memorized was lab values. Everyone is different, but for me, writing/typing out the rationales r...

4. Uworld and your NCLEX experience

   hosta replied to JNcCole15's topic in NCLEX

   UWorld is comparable to the NCLEX-RN. I think it is an excellent resource. I wrote my exam earlier this month and passed with the minimum number of questions. As others have said about UWorld, the rationales are key. I supplemented with Saunders and ...

   hosta replied to MMOHRN's topic in NCLEX

   Hi MMOHRN, thank you for tying to PM me! With about a week to go before I write the NCLEX, I find I'm trying to "cram" in a lot of content. I feel as if there is no way to cover everything, and I've been studying intensely for the past 6 weeks. Would...

   hosta replied to hosta's topic in NCLEX

   SopranoKris: thank you so much for the helpful information. I now have a much better sense of the exam setting, and the white board use. I am relieved that we can use the board for calculation questions and to work through question options, to some e...

10. NCLEX: white boards and breaks

    hosta posted a topic in NCLEX

    Hi, I have contacted Pearson Vue and NCBSN and have received contradictory information regarding the use of white boards during the NCLEX RN examination. Pearson Vue says candidates will only receive one whiteboard; NCBSN indicates that when you hav...

    L refers to babies delivered live. If for example, a baby died from SIDS, sometime after birth, baby would still be considered delivered live.

12. Not sure if Nursing is right for me

    hosta replied to vwbeetle's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are wise to be comtemplating your decision so thoroughly. I am pursuing nursing as a second career, and I had doubts at this time last year -- just before starting my first year of nursing school. I'm going on to second year in the fall, ...
