1. Is Doing NCLEX Questions Enough??

   ashley024 replied to PacoUSA's topic in NCLEX

   I agree it's more about applying everything you leave learned not so much black and white facts.

2. GOOD pop-up! But I'm in denial!

   ashley024 replied to zlimja's topic in NCLEX

   !!!! Been checking the Ohio BON since 6 am and finally I'm there!! Passed!! I'm so excited! I'll post my experience later on when I calm down a little!

3. How do you feel about using an old edition of a book for nursing school?

   ashley024 replied to Kran1990's topic in Student Assist

   When we first started at my school they did a "box set" of all the books we'd need at the book store. Some were used so the earlier you went the better. I know I went the first day I could and saved over $200... I've found that most of the time if a ...

4. The fear just hit me - help :(

   ashley024 replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

   I myself am a bigger girl and I in no way felt discriminated against. I was able to do all the tasks in clinical and everything else. The only time a comment was made was by a 103 y/o... At first I was like well then.... Then realized it is what is i...

5. Studied for 6 days, passed NCLEX-RN in 75 questions

   ashley024 replied to hakunamatata's topic in NCLEX

   I think it depends on the state.. I sent mine in June 11th got my att July 25th. (ohio) Some of my classmates took a little longer. My advice is if you are going to study/review do it now then when you get your att you can schedule sooner rather than...

6. GOOD pop-up! But I'm in denial!

   ashley024 replied to zlimja's topic in NCLEX

   I took mine today too. Also have the good pop up but like you denial! I had a lot of sata for the first half then they seemed to get easier... I just sat there thinking oh no just let me answer a few more!

7. Taking the NCLEX this saturday. Am I ready? Help!

   ashley024 replied to zlimja's topic in NCLEX

   I go tomorrow afternoon. Today I'm fairly calm... Yesterday was another story though. I was freaking out. Only 2 of my friends know Im going. Im sure everyone else has been wondering why I have been more than moody lately. Bless em though because the...

8. When is my ATT coming?! :(

   ashley024 replied to Lovemykids125's topic in NCLEX

   I sent all my stuff in June 11th and got my att July 25th. It takes the Ohio BON forever. Also in Ohio your name will show up as pending on the verification page if they have started to process your application.

9. Never placed an IV!!!!!

   ashley024 replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

   I can totally understand that. I suppose we just do things differently here. (small town USA) Anytime we had the chance to do something that a patient may be iffy about a student doing our instructor would ask. It saved time especially if we got all ...

10. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    ashley024 replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    I should wait to reply to provide proper terminology but oh well. I've seen IV's in the upper arm near the axilla. Also the feet and scalps of babies. As well as other locations. We did ours in the hands. The patients were asked if they would allow ...

11. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    ashley024 replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    I went through a PN program. We were required to become IV certified. We did a proficiency on the "arms" then spent a day in a clinical doing IV's.... As most facilities in my area do not allow lpn's to start an IV there are a couple that do. (as lo...

12. What they don't tell you in nursing school...

    ashley024 replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Nursing

    They told us from day one in school that if we weren't sure of something in the least but to call the doctor. They also said you might get yelled at and called names. But it's your license on the line . If you need to call the doctor at 3 am who care...

13. Worst night ever

    ashley024 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I read this and wanted to hug you. I'm so sorry you had a bad night. I think people often forget they were once in that place especially when it comes to new graduates. I used to be incredibly frantic during clinical. I'd think of 20 things I needed...

14. "bad" evaluations given by students of faculty

    ashley024 replied to goingback's topic in Educators

    I'm normally just a reader here. But, I wanted to comment on this. I just finished school. Throughout the time I spent in actual nursing classes I can't even count how many times I heard that so and so was too difficult. Especially during proficiency...
