   BurgundySwanson replied to lindseynicole12's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Life is too short. No matter the situation, if your question is "should I do 'insert something here' or follow my dreams" your answer should always be FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS. If you love what you do and are passionate you will find success. No amount ...

2. What was the HARDEST PART OF NURSING SCHOOL for you?

   BurgundySwanson replied to J.O.Y.'s topic in General Students

   It's a tie for me between the constant stress of "if I bomb this test I may not be able to recover and fail out of the program" and time management. By time management I specifically mean the first couple semesters. It was very tough trying balance ...

3. SATA questions. need motivation too. help:(

   BurgundySwanson replied to alc143's topic in NCLEX

   My advice? I hear nurses all the time say, "nursing school teaches you to pass the nclex, you'll learn the real nursing world when you start working". Relax as much as possible and realize that all those stressful tests in nursing school gave you t...

4. Is this uniform appropriate?

   BurgundySwanson replied to BurgundySwanson's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply. I've gotten into contact with some co-workers and it seems to fall in line with the dress code. Now I just have to make sure that I don't look too similar to the paramedics who may come and go. Seem...

5. What causes dizzyness in anticholinergic drugs?

   BurgundySwanson replied to swansonplace's topic in NCLEX

6. Is this uniform appropriate?

   BurgundySwanson posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   As a guy, i'm not a fan of scrub tops and fortunately my place of work allows us to wear polo style shirts instead. I intend to wear a shirt tucked in with some black or khaki colored emt/tactical pants. I prefer those pants to typical scrub bottom...

7. Is the 48 hours really exactly 48 hours, or does it sometimes take longer

   BurgundySwanson replied to TXRN44's topic in NCLEX

   I'm glad your wait is over. Hopefully you received good news, and if so then I feel obligated to share my celebration dance video that I've been forced to put in almost all my other posts since becoming a new RN. I find it hilarious ( maybe because...

   BurgundySwanson replied to TXRN44's topic in NCLEX

   My results took 48hrs 6mins and 19 secs. Not that I was staring at my computer and hitting refresh nonstop for two days or anything.

9. My apologies

   BurgundySwanson replied to BurgundySwanson's topic in NCLEX

   So, my wait is over and I am officially an RN. This support group....I mean...website has been great to relieve stress and visit throughout the journey so I thought I would share my immediate reaction upon seeing my active RN status. (I read the to...

10. My apologies

    BurgundySwanson posted a topic in NCLEX

    I must admit that from the outside looking in I thought all of you who got the "good pop up" and finished in 75 questions were silly for still being nervous about your results. However, after battling the nclex monster yesterday and being in the sam...

11. Are NCLEX prep courses like Kaplan or Hurst really necessary?

    BurgundySwanson replied to firefly101's topic in NCLEX

    I felt like the best thing my review did for me was ease some test anxiety by making me believe I had done everything in my power to be prepared. My test stopped at 75 questions and I received the PVT good popup, but I feel like if I was successful ...
