   Go Knights replied to Go Knights's topic in NCLEX

   I think all of you are definitely ready to conquer NCLEX. I found out today that I passed at 75 questions! I think Kaplan does a decent job preparing you for the exam and types of questions and their wording. But, I didn't use the decision tree as mu...

   Go Knights replied to Go Knights's topic in NCLEX

   Skittles, your scores are great! You are definitely more than ready if Kaplan is any indication of our success, which it is! I completely agree, as my professors said, you'll never feel ready for this test...we just have to go for it

   Yes, the website was their old policy. Last year we didn't have to complete the background check until after we were temp accepted. Their system this year for acceptance is much more thorough I think and will definitely be worth it in the end :)

   For clinical sites, they all differ and again is random on which you're assignment to. You could live right next to a hospital, yet you get assigned to another one. It's kind of silly. But, first you're out in the community. Then you are at long term...

   Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida

   Hey all! I know the nerves are definitely still there. As someone already answered, we have no control over when our classes are! They literally assign everything. Clinicals are almost always Thursday and Friday, with labs and classes Monday through ...

   The uniforms are a little expensive, like 20 for a shirt then 30 for the pants (you have to wear them to clinicals obviously but also the days that you have lab)...but you all are lucky. We have an all white uniform now, white pants and top, but they...

10. How to get into grad school...planning ahead

    Go Knights posted a topic in Post Graduate

    Hi everyone! Right now I am in undergrad, finishing a BSN nursing program. I am pretty sure that I would like to continue to grad school shortly after graduating (perhaps a few years after some work experience) either nurse practioner or CRNA route....

    MamaKate, yes they have a very high percent pass rate for the NCLEX, so they definitely prepare us; however, NCLEX is raising the score required to pass this April, so the pass rate will likely lower overall in the country due to the score increase! ...

    Nursowiczka2b, it's been going really well so far! Obviously a ton a hard work and very time consuming, but the professors are wonderful and clinicals are the best part of each week with a variety of opportunities! I have no complaints, but I'm sure ...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida

    For the basic program last year, when I applied, they said at orientation that over 700, nearly 800 people applied to the basic program, but a lot of people do get "thrown out" immediately because of their TEAS or issues with prereqs or suprisingly a...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida

    Good luck everyone! I was in your shoes last year, except not having to go through the whole interview process. I am currently in the program, and I can reassure you that although waiting is terrible and quite exhausting, every second is worth it! Th...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida

    Unfortunately, I don't; we are all curious about it as well actually because this is the first year they're doing it! My impression is don't stress out about it. I think just gpas and teas scores are all very close, they're just looking to ensure you...
