  1. New Grad Resume

    I would cut the clinical experiences since you had healthcare jobs while in school. That probably trumps the clinicals. I would keep the publications, especially if they are science or healthcare related.
  2. Newly graduated ADN! Job hunt or continue with RN-BSN?!HELP!

    I graduate with my ADN in May and while still unemployed, I plan on working for at least a year before I further my education. Based on what I've encountered, experience seems to matter more than education, especially for new grads. I'm also really b...
  3. How old were you when you started Nursing School?

    Started my ADN at 25 and finished at 27. Hope to start a RN to MSN some time in 2015 when I'm 29.
  4. Chemistry Question - Is it necessary?

    I agree with dawniepoo. You will spend more time with fluid and electrolytes than you think and knowing chemistry helps a lot in that regard.
  5. ADN students...how quickly will you enroll for BSN?

    I graduated on Wednesday and will probably take a whole year off. I'm trying to study for boards, move, and start a job. Plus I'm not sure I have all the pre-reqs (and haven't even bothered to look). I know I'd probably flunk out if I tried to do my ...
  6. How to Gain a Lvl 2 OB ATI?

    I'm similar to you in grades and I got a high level 2 on the OB test. I always recommend just reading the ATI books to supplement what you learned in class. Most of the time it's the same, but they may have slight differences of what they're looking ...
  7. I've wasted my spring break!

    We're on spring break now and I actually have NCLEX 3500 question open in another tab. I'm regularly sleeping in, but still trying to get 2-3 hours of studying in.
  8. ATI Final for Med Surge I & II

    That's really good to know. The predictor said I had a 92% first time pass probability which is good considering I still haven't had Med-Surg 2. It's going to be interesting at my school though since my graduating class is the first class that use AT...
  9. ATI Final for Med Surge I & II

    Congratulations. We just took our ATI Comprehensive Predictor and it was heavy on med-surg so if you passed at a high Level 3, you will be fine. I really dislike ATI tests though.
  10. Job market- ADN students being warned?

    I think all new grad should know what is going on in the job market, for whatever career they are going into. I'm graduating from an ADN program in about 8 weeks and I already started looking for a job. It is a little disheartening to see posting for...
  11. Why did you choose your nursing school?

    If this is in response to my comment, this is what I would tell MYSELF at 19. I was still very much unfocused and didn't have a career plan or goal, even though I was a very good student (still am unfortunately). If at 19 I knew without a doubt I wan...
  12. Gen. Biology during summer session?

    I took A & P 1 during a summer session while I worked and it totally kicked my butt. But Gen. Biology is easier so I think you can do it.
  13. "Throwing Out" questions on a test

    Your guess is as good as mine. Plenty of people have complained about it, but some of the teachers still do it. It never works in my favor though.
  14. Why did you choose your nursing school?

    I actually didn't even know where the campus was for the school I attend now. So I technically didn't decide on my school when I made the decision to become a nurse. After a broken engagement and seeing that there was a real good chance I was going t...
  15. "Throwing Out" questions on a test

    This happens at my school, but not a lot, and not with all instructors. Our school actually has a policy that if more than 30% of the class misses a question, especially if the question is missed with the same answer, it's automatically thrown out. B...
