   red_baron replied to Liberty2007's topic in NCLEX

   Hi, i just took the Rn test this morning, and it was absolute hell. The comp shut off at 75, and I wanted more questions. I had some priority, a lot of infection control and a lot of teaching questions. I left the center stunned and it felt like i di...

4. when is one ready?--based on % of practice questions

   red_baron replied to xyzzy's topic in NCLEX

   NCSBN, I thought was slightly easier than Kaplan. I wouldn't focus on the grades youre getting. Focus on the rationales even for the right answers. At this point reading content is pointless, just take questions every day up untill a day or two befor...

5. when is one ready?--based on % of practice questions

   red_baron replied to xyzzy's topic in NCLEX

   depends on what type of questions shes using. Kaplan questions are notoriously harder so anything over 60% is good. Saunders and lippencott over 75% is good. My whole thing has been this, as long as i get more right than wrong im in good shape, :). g...

7. UMDNJ Accelerated BSN students

   red_baron replied to njmonsterboi80's topic in New Jersey

   Im going into my 4th semester, graduating this December. First semester is hard not because of the content, but because you have to rewire the way you think. You will have massive amounts of information and it will be tough to process it all. Now the...

8. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

   red_baron replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Myself and a couple of other students from this board just started the program. I think you'll be fine with the 3.0( actually more than fine), keep up with the good grades on the pre-req's and good luck. Just apply early, like Jan for the 2006 fall.

    red_baron replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had a question about the PDA's. Are we truly going to need them? What type of nursing software is available for them ? I was looking at some last night im not really sure which ones are suitable for me.

15. Which is better-Seton Hall U or Ramapo College?

    red_baron replied to Friday's topic in Pre-Nursing

    JLG, I would like to hear from Seton Hall first, but Im favoring UMDNJ, partly because they are affiliated with a teaching hospital. Dentistry and medicine is there too, same buildings. Its going to be a drive for me though, coming from northen Monmo...
