   PCCN Tips?

   Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to KeepingItSterile's topic in CCU

   Hello, I passed the PCCN last year and used the same books. I also used the PASS PCCN exam book with practice questions which were super helpful. I set up a calendar and studied something every day. I would practice a bunch of questions e...

   Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to babyisa's topic in General Nursing

   I used the same program Nicole Kupchik put together and passed the first time with flying colors. I also used the Pass PCCN book in my hospital's library to practice questions. Great Job!

   I Passed NCLEX-RN 2nd Time in 75q!

   Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to lovenursing_'s topic in NCLEX

   Your story is very similar to mine, it's so hard not passing the first time. I paid for the Kaplan tutor and used Hurst Review to pass the second time in 75 questions. Were both great nurses! Good luck in your job search.

   Sad story of an ex-new grad nurse

   Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to furelite's topic in New Nurse

   I am so sorry that you are going through this. You deserve lots of hugs! Step back from the ledge and take a big deep breath. You worked very hard at both your marriage and your degree, and you have come so far. You can not control what your husband ...

   My termination story, any new grad success advice appreciated!

   Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to Islaleigh's topic in New Nurse

   I have had similar experiences and it is hard. I also took it very personally. Just remember, if they were in your shoes with your experience they would be doing the same thing you were doing!!! I took a look at myself after I was done with that job....

    retake again

    Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to dimes5990's topic in NCLEX

    Both! I did both and I passed in 75 questions after failing in 75. Follow the Kaplan map to answer your questions and use Hurst to relearn your content. It worked for me but Kaplan was probably most helpful. Good luck!

    Is it normal to not graduate "on time"?

    Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to greenbean14's topic in General Students

    One year isn't going to make or break it in nursing. I went back for my ADN after getting a BS in Business and no one batted an eye at me. Keep your grades up. Good luck!

    New Grad/Epic Help

    Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to Java Mama's topic in Med-Surg

    Once you get started you'll find yourself on a role. One thing I did when I was learning how to use Epic was I made cheat sheet for admit's, discharges, surgicals, IV's, pain and a few others. I asked every nurse I worked with what they do and wrote ...

    A VERY frustrated nurse

    Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in New Nurse

    I can relate, I have gone through similar situations at my job as a new RN and it's hard. You will get faster with time. 7 patients is a lot of work and it's tough. Try not to get caught up in what your tech's think (easier said then done I know!). ...

    2nd Time Pass Sucess

    Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN's topic in NCLEX

    The NCLEX was just like the QBank questions. I was only doing 30-40 questions at a time before I took NCLEX for the first time. I was also using all the Q Bank questions and I did them enough I knew the answers to most of them and my test scores wer...

    NCLEX second time test taker

    Nurse Katelyn BSN PCCN replied to ACSRN24's topic in NCLEX

    I am so sorry you didn't pass your exam. I used Kaplan and didn't pass the first time and stuck with it and used Kaplan to test second time and passed it in 75 questions. I didn't take the NCLEX the second time until I was averaging 60% in all my ca...
