  1. Christiana Care Internships for new Grads

    Sorry to hear that you didn't get the internship. I am a Christiana employee and I was hired and I did not have ANY nursing experience, just clinicals from nursing school. I do know they hire from within a lot but that is not always the case. Righ...
  2. In Southern NJ...Cooper or Lourdes. I tend to lean toward the teaching hospitals. I live in Jersey and work at Christiana in DE (in top 100 hospitals to work at in US per Nursing mag 2009). Hope this helps.

  5. Those who failed on Kaplan are scaring many!

  6. Slackers guide to passing the NCLEX

    I agree that Kaplan was the reason why I passed (along with my strong desire to pass) the NCLEX RN. I would do the Qbank questions and sometimes 25 at a time because I felt 50-100 at a time would burn me out. Once the test was complete, I'd go over...

    Meow, I completed 95% of the qbank overall is 60. Kaplan's pretest scored 61....readiness 62. I refused to believe any readiness tests that are going to tell me I'm going to fail. I must say, even if I only did 25 qbank questions at a time, I...

    Well, got home from taking the NCLEX RN. Shut off at 75 and would you believe 13 SATA's!!!!! At one point, I had SATA back to back! Two math problems (one mg/kg/min and one units) and tons of meds. The meds are ones that I saw in my Kaplan question...

    Thanks adema12! I'm going to concentrate on taking my time reading the question and keeping in the back of my mind patient safety. I am a rollercoaster of emotions, one minute I'm fine and confident I'm going to pass and then I flip to the other side...
