   mississippikid replied to mississippikid's topic in NCLEX

   Thank you! I read the NCSBN site up and down! Definitely made me more confident going into the exam. It was nothing like I expected but I'm glad I put in the time and effort to prepare myself the best I could. Good luck to you!!

3. Passed NCLEX!! My experience..

   mississippikid posted a topic in NCLEX

   I graduated on May 12, got my ATT on May 19 and originally scheduled my NCLEX for June 8. I kept checking back to see if any earlier test dates were open and found a date open on May 31. I have never clicked on anything so fast! In preparation for N...

4. How fast did you land a job?

   mississippikid replied to johndough's topic in General Students

   Several of my classmates had accepted jobs before graduation, which had me discouraged because I had already put in applications to multiple facilities.. I graduated on a Thursday evening, on Friday I interviewed and was hired on the spot.

5. Should I? Why not!?!

   mississippikid replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I didn't get to do work study, but I did apply for it. My school was small and didn't have a lot of openings plus I got a good bit of financial help so it was tough for me to get in. I'm 26 (24 when I started nursing program) and a nontraditional stu...

7. Make yourself THINK like a nurse

   mississippikid posted a topic in Share Tips

   I prepare myself the night before lecture by reviewing A&P & terminology. During lecture I don't write down what the instructor says word for word. I write down brief notes & questions to ask myself & answer while I'm studying. What i...

8. Tips for New Nursing Students

   mississippikid replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

   Great advice! Congrats on finishing up your first year! I too am halfway to RN :) I would add that you should use your syllabus as a guide for your studying, the syllabus lists what you'll be tested on (outline of the unit, learning outcomes you shou...

9. heart & kidneys question

   mississippikid replied to emileeg's topic in General Students

   Is this a homework question? I see it's your first post.. Important concept, and I'm not the best at explaining things unfortunately.. The heart pumps blood through the body, right? Then that blood goes into the kidneys and the kidneys filter out wa...

10. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    mississippikid replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is hard for a reason, actually many reasons, but I would never say that it is "too hard". You have to do the work, play by the rules, and deal with it to the best of your ability. They are trying to mold students into entry level nurse...

11. I'm in my program, second year but did not take one prerequisite? What should I do?

    mississippikid replied to beachlover1989's topic in General Students

    I wonder how in the world you got into nursing school WITHOUT A&P. I'm about to finish up my second semester of nursing and was required to have A&P I and II before even beginning the first semester of my program. I would take it as soon as ...

12. Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    mississippikid replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

    I say stay out of it. If they cheat now, and cheat in nursing school, they are screwed for NCLEX. Just do you and don't worry about anyone else...

13. Grades in Nursing School

    mississippikid replied to MariahO's topic in General Students

    Are you in the night program? Grenada campus? I am totally with you on feeling overwhelmed, I'm in the second semester of the program. I honestly don't always do all my reading and that is terrible (and I am not encouraging you to be like me) but I ...

14. Coffee, that life-saving java joe! Can you say, "Java Junkie"?

    mississippikid replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I can't function without coffee in the mornings! But I have never been to a Starbucks.. who can afford it in nursing school?

15. Nursing School - What are you thankful for?

    mississippikid replied to Ricearoni's topic in General Students

    I'm thankful that all my friends and family are pushing me to keep on keepin' on even though I'm about to lose my mind.. I'm thankful for the new friends that will (hopefully) be by my side during the rest of my nursing school journey.. and I'm thank...
