1. Texas BON requirements

   ElenaTx replied to reta lin's topic in Immigration

   I had to Take the Toefl because I was trained in a non English speaking country. Since you are planning on going to nursing school in the US I think you don't have to take the Toefl. The best way to find out is probably to call the TX BON since they ...

4. Good pop up and Failed???! Really??!

   ElenaTx replied to westcoastguy's topic in NCLEX

   I don't want to say it is 100% accurate and that it has never happened that somebody with the good pop up ended up failing. Although, everybody I know (including myself) who got the good pop up passed and I have never heard of anyone failing with the...

   ElenaTx replied to neliztanee's topic in NCLEX

   Your passport will be fine. I am an foreign trained nurse as well and I didn't have any problems using my passport. In fact, more official than a passport is nearly impossible. And must be signed in English means it can't be signed in foreign letters...

   ElenaTx replied to stephanie11's topic in NCLEX

   His heart rate is too slow and due to the hot weather and the work he is probably dehydrated. Alcohol in large amounts constricts blood vessels which decreases circulation and also increases the blood pressure. All that causes poor perfusion of the m...

   Just do the pvt, then you'll know. Everybody here says that sata q's are high level questions. But I think priority and pictures etc. Can be high level questions also. Depending on the topic. But yeah, I would do the pvt and put myself out of the mis...

    ElenaTx replied to anxioustotest's topic in NCLEX

    If I remember correctly they even mention during the tutorial before the test that you are not allowed to write down anything before the exam actually starts. Well, I hope it still works out for you. Good luck and please let us know what happened.

11. I failed the NCLEX and nobody "gets it". Apparently it's an "easy test to pass"

    ElenaTx replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in NCLEX

    First of all, sorry that you didn't pass. Don't live up, you can do it the next time. I think it is impossible for people who are not nurses and never had anything to do with nursing to understand what the NCLEX is about. They think it's just a mult...

12. Can anyone help explain about Electrocardiogram?

    ElenaTx replied to chatcha's topic in NCLEX

    Well, to determine the rhythm you have got to understand what all the waves and peaks etc. mean. You'll have to learn that in order to be able to determine rhythms. There are online EKG trainer but I don't think they help if you don't have the basic ...

15. Struggling to meet the bare minimum in one class...need support

    ElenaTx replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    I don't really know, what is going on here? The OP was asking for a little support and all she gets is advice to rethink her path and that nursing school may not be for her. If it is not for her, she will figure it out. But some people just need a li...
