New to LTC. I have 40 patients and can’t seem to do all my med passes in time because of so many interruptions. All 40 patients have 8 o’clock meds; that leaves me a 2-hour window which is 3 minutes...

To CLEP a class is a piece of cake. All you do is read the materials, take the test, and if you pass you get credit. I wish I had known about this before spending hours in classrooms and thousands...

Just using Kaplan worked for me. For me, too many resources just confused me! Do as many questions as you can and examine the rationales. Many of the questions on NCLEX followed the Kaplan Tree. ...

Awesome! I had never used flashcardexchange.com or studystack.com but from the looks of them, they have some very useful study cards that I will incorporate into my study plan. Thanks!:)

Thanks for the pointers! I will follow your advice for sure. Never heard of a challenge exam, sounds interesting! Will contact the testing center and ask about that as well. Thanks again! Will...
