  1. Need Excelsior CPNE Advice Please!!!

    I highly recommend Sheri's workshop. It is a teaching and practicing workshop,
  2. OMG I failed LS3 again

    I used study guide 101 for this test and passed 1st time. Good luck.
  3. CPNE exam

    I highly agree! I used Sheri's online workshop and passed 1st time. Make sure you know the study guide from front to back like the back of your hand. I didn't study with anyone. I practiced by myself everyday until the day of my test. Good luck!
  4. Excelsior Classes questions

    I was able to transfer all of my Pre-reqs but not nursing courses.
  5. Its really hard to keep your motivation up in the RN program at excelsior. I recently graduated this march and got my license this June. IMO the tests are really hard but they prepare you well for the NCLEX. I work FT night shift 11p-7a in a nursing ...
  6. NCLEX SATA

    Everyone gets a 50% on the NCLEX when they pass. Higher level questions are given when you are doing well.
  7. What do you do the day before the test?

    The day before I read the allnurses study guide. That's it. I had a good nutritious dinner and got as much sleep as I could.
  8. NCLEX: Specific tasks to delegate to LPN? Charge Nurse role?

    LPN can suction a stable patient but on the NCLEX likely not stable so don't pick that. LPNs can do sterile wound changes and unsterile wound dressing changes. Can't do 1st dressing change after surgery. Can insert a foley and do straight cath. Can't...
  9. If you think you need to call the MD, CALL THE MD!!!!

    I heard that a nurse lost her license and is now working for Walmart because she didn't call the Dr for a BP of 200/100. The patient ended up having a stroke and the employer reported her to the BON. So, keep that in mind when considering whether to ...
  10. Best study material for the NCLEX?

    I have 4 kids, one who still breastfeeds. I also work night shift full-time. If I can do it, anyone can do it! Good luck on your studying!
  11. If you think you need to call the MD, CALL THE MD!!!!

    I agree. I am an LPN, recently just passed the NCLEX RN. I had a resident that went south. She was a DNR and the supervisior wanted to wait it out and let day shift deal with it. I ended up calling the MD and having the resident sent to the hospital ...
  12. Best study material for the NCLEX?

    Try not to stress yourself out so much. The NCLEX really is not that bad. I studied 3-4 hrs a day with Kaplan, Saunders and I did practice questions on Facebook from Pedia and ATI. I also found some old Kaplan Qbanks and I had a few apps on my iPhone...
  13. Comprehensive review books: Saunders, Mosbys

    I used Saunders and Kaplan (the book, not the course). The questions did seem to be easy but I wouldn't say easier than NCLEX. To me the NCLEX seemed pretty straight forward and I feel that Saunders did prepare me well for it, not so much Kaplan.
  14. NCLEX SATA

    I had a ton of SATA, I would say at least half of the exam was SATA.
  15. NCLEX SATA

    When you take the NCLEX they are very clear that you do not get partial credit. You either get the question right or wrong. There is also no such thing as a certain set of options always being correct.
