  1. Why do students get asked to do everything?

    I graduated in nursing school over the summer and now I am working as a nurse in a large hospital, I totally wish I did more skills back then because it definitely is hard being a new nurse doing a skill for the first time or not having done the skil...
  2. NCLEX success

    Hi Goodie, that is the forum I looked at for the .pdf! Thank you for kindly posting it on here. Dametriss, I recommend that you focus on the classes you are taking. If they are pre-nursing (chem, micro, anatomy, physio) focus on those subjects, as th...

    Hi, I listened to the Saunders CD that came with the book! Good luck

  5. NCLEX success

    Yes it was my first time taking it. I actually took it in October, but I forgot of the promise I made to write back on the forum. I found a job a month after passing my boards. I didn't get a chance to finish the Saunders book with all my commitments...
  6. NCLEX success

    I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean but let me try to see if I can address this for you. I had a lot of prioritization questions and honestly, you couldn't really prioritize unless you knew what the diseases were and what was an expected s/...
  7. RN pre req GPA

    Hi GivingLove, you can apply at a university for a Bachelor's program but keep in mind that although they have GPA requirements, they typically admit those with competitive grades. Some also require volunteer work, or extra classes, which is somethin...
  8. Is this insane?

    Now, you know what you're capable of far better than any of us here. Since the A&P, micro, AND chem are all important prereqs needed to get into nursing school, you need to make sure your grades are as high as they can possibly be. Some would not...
  9. NCLEX success

    Hi Sandra! I had 75 ?'s and I finished in about 2 hrs? Complete shock and panic when the computer turned off. Half way I started feeling a little discouraged but I kept telling myself "the test wants me to pass... that's why it's giving me more quest...
  10. 12/12/12 nclex takers

    I'm not sure about NCSBN. Saunders definitely has quite a bit of content. I focused on really reading the areas I was weak in (with the help of lots of caffeine and quiet time and space at the library) and then I would do the questions for that parti...
  11. Prep courses: Ncsbn, hurst, or ati?

    We used ATI in nursing school and it wasn't really like the NCLEX. I found that ATI tests and the NCLEX were two different beasts. I did look over some of my notes from ATI practice tests that I took in nursing school, but overall, I don't think it w...
  12. 12/12/12 nclex takers

    Well, from looking at your username "iluvnursing07," I think you should still pursue your RN license if this is something you love. I used mostly Saunders and the PDF that was being passed around the forums here mostly. I would try to do questions fr...

    I'm so sorry iluvnursing07! I think you should definitely try again and use this experience as a learning experience. Perhaps, focusing on fewer resources might help? How did you study for the NCLEX?
  14. NCLEX success

    So I promised myself that I would write my success story after passing the NCLEX because this forum truly helped me when preparing for the NCLEX. I want to give back to the allnurses community. List of main resources I used: Kaplan qtrainers (I didn'...
