   mandikt posted a topic in NCLEX

   Okay, I am so nervous about taking Nclex. I graduated dec. 3rd and took Kaplan dec 18 through the 21. I have been doing the qbank questions on their website, about 100 or more a day. Sometimes I do well, but a lot of times i don't do so well. They sa...

   Okay, so i'm stressing a little right now because this quarter is almost over (feb27th). we are in advanced med/surg right now and so far we've had two tests and only 3 passed! 3 out of 16! to me, that is a problem. our teacher keeps telling us "look...

8. TEAS vs. HESI

   mandikt replied to MaggieC's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi! I took the TEAS for my program. From what I hear it is pretty similar to the one you took. No, you aren't able to use a calculator. You can use scrap paper, but for me neither helps because i can't do complicated math, lol. There is algebra and a...

9. AZ ADN students

   mandikt replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in Arizona

   our requirements was an interview, certain pre-requ. classes, a certain score on the T.E.A.S. test, reference letters....i think that's it. it would be nice to not have any requirments, but i can see why so many people fail out. i think the weeding p...

10. New Nursing Student..... Can you say OVERWHELMED?

    mandikt replied to KAJ's topic in General Students

    I wish so much that I had an ocean to sit by! lol, that would really help me too. It is so relaxing. We used to go to Gulf Shores, AL every summer, but with the hurricanes that may not happen for a while. I just think that sometimes it is better to ...

11. Help! Lab class is uncomfortable

    mandikt replied to jspfunk's topic in General Students

    There was another thread about this same issue that got pretty heated, because people either agreed with it or they didn't. And i'm talking about giving each other baths, no VS and WT. But like, the other comment, part of nursing is pt. privacy. On t...

12. New Nursing Student..... Can you say OVERWHELMED?

    mandikt replied to KAJ's topic in General Students

    IF you want to get out of the house try maybe a local bookstore like B&N or Borders. They usually have chairs and tables spread around, and it's a nice quiet environment. Personally for me, for some reason, I like to get out of the school setting...

13. Need Help with Nursing Care Plan books

    mandikt replied to BunnyLuv's topic in General Students

    I also used my fundamentals textbook. It did provide some care plans, and I purchased a diagnosis book that was a "pocket sized" handbook. It was really nice to carry around to clinicals. I think Mosby puts out a nice care plan book also. It's pretty...

15. We have to dress up in our bathing suits to give each other baths

    mandikt replied to anfe's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure who your soap was meant for. Trust me, I know all about giving bed baths, stinkiny bm's and the whole drill plus I work those lousy hours because I work in a hospital already on the Med/Surg. unit and have seen plenty of "gross" as you p...
