1. APEA Predictor

   vbarger28 replied to vbarger28's topic in NP Students

   That's terrible, I am very thankful for how our school ran the curriculum. They were very realistic. I can say the apea review in person course was the best thing. My exam had questions exactly how they were in my review booklet and they they educate...

2. APEA Predictor

   So, im not at WG, but a friend of mine was. She got a 73 on her predictor and failed her boards. I went to UOP, and they only require a 62 ans you take it 6 mo before graduation and then one month before graduation. I scored 65 the first time. Then 6...

3. AANP

   vbarger28 replied to vbarger28's topic in NP Students

   So I took my AANP exam yesterday and passed in one hour. I saw questions almost verbatim from the practice exams on exam edge, and several question on my exam were practice question topics on exam edge. Here is my advice. I took my predi...

4. 3P exam

   vbarger28 replied to deewil2786's topic in General Nursing

   I've taken it 3x. I graduated in January. First one I took was required for school and I took 6 months before graduation, then we were required to take one the last week of school. First time I got a 65, then 6 months later got a 64. I went back and ...

   I am a new FNP grad as of this January, and am struggling to gage whether I am likely to pass my AANP exam. My school required the soul crushing predictors from APEA, I scored a 65 my first go 6 months before graduation and a 64 for my final...today ...

   Oh wow!! Congratulations!! Holy cow 9 months after you graduated? Now that's some dedication! I am currently using FNP mastery, the first timemi completed it I scored only in the 60s for the qbank, and I'm halfway through a second go at it with...

8. APEA Predictor

   vbarger28 posted a topic in NP Students

   I am 6 months out from graduating...I have to say I am usually a sharp student and critical thinker. Nursing school was not ridiculously hard, I had a study like everyone else but not near the amount of hours, I had a new baby during my RN bridge pro...

9. NCLEX: Do I HAVE to have UWORLD/Klimek

   vbarger28 replied to EMB1548's topic in NCLEX

   Honestly, in my opinion, I swear by Kaplan and Lipincott. People have a hard time with Kaplan, but it's because all of their qbank questions and trainor's 4-7 are NCLEX pass level questions, so yea it is really hard. In my experience, Linpincott and ...

10. Kaplan Review Question for NCLEX

    vbarger28 replied to ryry18's topic in NCLEX

    Im in the same boat, my Kaplan's are in the 52-60 range. The ask a teacher peeps in the Kaplan online chat said they want you at a 60%, because the new exam says you need to pass with 50% correct. Im on the fence...I know ppl who have scores in the 5...

11. Of course, it's always the nurse's fault.

    vbarger28 replied to vbarger28's topic in Safety

    No our wonderful system was thrown on us all at once, no beta testing, nothing nadda. Providers were not mandated to attend training, and nurses were only given 2 hours to learn outside of work in a small workshop. We are not assigned patients. Yes I...

12. Of course, it's always the nurse's fault.

    vbarger28 posted a topic in Safety

    So we started a new computer system about 2 weeks ago, which has had a MAJOR impact on patient care. NOw, there is no paper charting at all, and all orders go through the computer, and documentation on such orders is also done in the computer. Now, o...

13. Kaplan vs Hurst review for NCLEX prep

    vbarger28 replied to Jordym919's topic in NCLEX

    My adviced would be, if you don't have a good grasp on content by now, you won't get an amazing grasp in time for your boards. Practice questions trump content in my opinion, nclex is unlike any other test you will take. If you are stuck on a content...

14. Finding a job on probation

    vbarger28 replied to Ariel899's topic in LPN/LVN

    I know out here in Las Vegas anyone who is on probation isn't even considered for most positions. Most places want clear and free licenses. Nurses who have issues with their licenses are a liability and a magnet for facility blame if anything were to...

15. Threat of revokation

    vbarger28 replied to faith3655's topic in LPN/LVN

    You will not lose your license over something like this. You may get a little 'hey be careful and don't do it again' from work, but the BON has much bigger fish to fry than an arrogent family member complaining about a phone call. Normally, board isn...
