  1. Passing NCLEX easily with UWorld

    So you want to kick this RN NCLEX? i thought about what seemed to be the most reasonable and helpful aid for me. I tried a new NCLEX study program (no names). It was horrible. I had to report some of the answers as being wrong to the study program p...
  2. how many feel like me

    Winding up my first year and I love what I am learning. With that being said (something positive) I am exhausted. I am on my spring break and they (the teachers who are probably at the beach getting tans) have monopolized every second of my break wit...

    So many years to get here and I am exhausted. No time to do anything but study. 1 year to go hope I can make it.

  5. Second Semester, i hate it

    As a Surgical Tech of 17 years, I am well aware of that. My post had nothing to do with "rainbows", but plenty to do with annoying, unconcerned people!
  6. Second Semester, i hate it

    Second semester and I love nursing but hate nursing school, the instructors , the adjunct instructors at the hospitals and the way they make us feel and seem to walk around with a grudge. 99% of what I have learned ( on my third rotation) I have sel...
  7. What are the most common positions for new grads?

    I am a surgical tech and am in nursing school. Should I consider a position as a circulating nurse?
  8. Asked to give advice to new nursing students

  9. Any loans/aid for adn when you already have a bachelors?

    Not sure about your area but in FL I too had too many credits to get help from Pell or even loans but I found out that Workforce in my county (there is one in every county) will pay tuition and books for my RN program. It's such a blessing. Call you...
  10. Fundamentals HESI

    Took mine yesterday. Here is my impression; I had to slow down and read then reread a lot. I felt like the material was easy but it seemed like 3 out of the 4 answers could be correct on most of the questions. I always use the strategy of trying to p...

  14. First 2 weeks in nursing school

    Going from summer Pharm and right into nursing school. 2 weeks under my belt yeah! I have learned so much. 1) the school seems to own all of my time. 2) there are not enough hours in the day. 3) Some close buddies make it more doable 4) WASH YOUR H...
  15. ADN.

    I am reading some negativity here about getting my ADN. Some of us have to go where we are accepted. Age, life situations etc may not allow us to get a BSN. I always leave this site feeling like all my years of hard work mean very little in the work...
