My :twocents: is 1. If you can do a study group-limit it to 4 people, and it is to study, not socialize. 2. Buy the book "Electrolytes made Incredibly easy"- you'll love this book, and you need to...

They are more of a way to see what kind of person you are. Loyal, team player, or loner, so they can see if and where you will fit in. I think they would still interview you. Hope this helps.

The nerves will be there every semester until you get going. Orientation may actually get them going more, as you anticipate the start of the new semester. The nerves will also get worse getting...

One thing I will throw in.... buy a pocket recorder, to record lectures. That way you can listen again to the lecture, it clears up questions you may come across in your readings, at least it worked...

My program was excellent, and we all had to take the ATI test in last semester which was the majority of my grade in one class. We also did the Kaplan program after graduation, and I passed first...

5-10 minutes early, no more. Earlier you seem desperate, and force them to be uncomfortable making you wait which can work against you. On-time is too close to late, which makes them wonder if you...

I will only throw in, it is better to be happy in your career. If you are as unhappy as it seems, your health and wellbeing will suffer in time. On the other side, I would really look into whatever...

I wouldn't put it on your cover letter or resume'. It will ask you if you have ever been arrested on the application. They will ask you for the backround during the interview if they're interested in...

I am 57 and graduated May 10. Waiting to take NCLEX, still waiting on ATT.
