3. PLEASE HELP! Think I failed NCLEX for the second time.. need advice

   NICU:) replied to newgradOBlover's topic in NCLEX

   So I also took the NCLEX for the second time today. Here is my story: I took the NCLEX in June and used only ATI to study. I got all 265 questions and failed. I had at the passing level for all areas except pharm, which was under passing level. So I...

   Hey all! So I am taking my NCLEX-RN for the second time on September 3. I have been trying to refresh on content, but am having a hard time concentrating. Any Suggestions?! The first time I took the NCLEX I got the "around passing" on all areas exce...

5. Has anyone done the ATI online with tutor? And passed?

   NICU:) replied to FLndn84's topic in NCLEX

   I only used ATI the first time that I took NCLEX and I didn't find it helpful at all. You do a lot of waiting for your tutor to get back to you and so forth. I also felt that the questions were too easy compared to the NCLEX. Just my opinion though.

6. NCLEX tips

   NICU:) replied to NICU:)'s topic in NCLEX

   Yes, I used the online tutor. That is all I used. I still have all of the codes, so I may go through the tests again, but I am not going to follow what my tutor has said to do. I do not feel that ATI was worded the same as the NCLEX. I hope for the b...

   Hey guys! I failed my NCLEX in June, I am still waiting for my ATT to retest at the end of this month or the beginning of the next. I am having a hard time getting into studying again. I need advice. The first time around I solely used ATI; I had a ...

8. ASN or BSN ????

   NICU:) replied to Dyoungbl001's topic in General Students

   Where I am from there is no difference in salary, either. The education includes leadership and public health nursing. Most of these courses can be taken online through a program. The only difference is where you can apply for jobs. MAGNET hospitals ...

9. First semester Expensive

   NICU:) replied to Cuteypie504's topic in General Students

   I have digital textbooks. I just put them on my ipad and off I go. They are cheaper too. Maybe look into that?

10. Weeding out?

    NICU:) replied to wantccu's topic in General Students

    I know for my program the "weeding out" semester is the second semester. This is when we have pharm, Med-Surg 1, and our skills become more than the CNA stuff. A lot of people had a hard time with the critical thinking questions. Many students were ...

    NICU:) replied to NICUmiiki's topic in General Students

    I will be sleeping, working on my nursing portfolio, working at my job a ton, and spending time with my family. Best of all.. I will spend time with my boyfriend. We may live together, but I never see him with my crazy schedules!! Cannot wait!!

13. first semester ADN program and may not pass

    NICU:) replied to NurseS2014's topic in General Students

    I had a similar situation last semester with my Med Surg I class.. I needed to get a 76 on my final to pass.. seems low, but my classes averages were in the low 60s on ALL of the tests, I was better off than most! Our teacher wanted it that way. She ...

14. Stethoscope

    NICU:) replied to athibs's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I also have a Littman classic 2. Just remember when ordering that your scrubs and shoes (Down to your underwear) are decided for you in nursing school. So choose a color that fits your style if possible. I got a pink one. And nobody else has one. Mak...

15. Cheating (unintentionally and intentionally)

    NICU:) replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    In some ways I agree. They should not be taking a test together. But writing a paper can be confusing. Especially when, like me, you write MLA for so long and then switch to APA. I do not think looking at another's formatting is cheating. If the teac...
