I graduated in August and did VATI as well, even though for us it wasn't a requirement, since the board didn't like the idea. I finished it in 2 weeks, started uworld, completely all of those questions twice, read a Kaplan book cover to cover and did...
I'm using UWorld and VATI. I also answered the 265 question test in my Kaplan book & got 69%. I have done 2200 Saunders questions as well. I hope to test in September
I graduate in August & the hospital near me offers an ICU nurse residency program that lasts 6 months. You have to sign an 18 month contract but I'm willing to do that because of the training...starts out at $25.25 an hour. I'm hoping to get hire...
The hospitals in my area have an ICU residency program where you sign an 18 month contract and you undergo rigorous training in the ICU for about 6 months. We start out on a step down unit for 6 weeks then you move to your ICU where you were hired an...

Not saying he's not supportive, but you really should be single during nursing school or be with someone who understands what you're going through. My bf of 4 years is so very supportive & understands what I'm going through. He never bothers me w...
I don't mean to sound harsh, but what exactly were you expecting that nurses do? You seemed grossed out by the catheters & what not but I don't understand how you didn't know you'd be doing that. Nursing is definitely not for everyone. I'm in my ...
I'm sorry that you feel like you haven't learned much or have been able to do much on your own. I'm in my first semester of NS, and the hospital that our clinicals will be at starting next semester, is at our university hospital which is also a teach...
I'm in my first semester and we use ATI in 3 out of my 5 classes. (The other 2 are research and patho). We have to watch videos and receive at least a 90% on the tests....just form A. We also have to do math ATI each week as well. Every exam we have ...
