   Lilloman posted a topic in NCLEX

   Given the changes with the NCLEX-RN exam, how useful are the Hogan prep books? Is it time to buy something else? If so, suggestions?

   I'll be 50 when I graduate. We have a classmate in our cohort who is currently 57. I know upper classmen who are 60 or more. So, yes.

5. is it possible to pass med surg or should I just quit

   Lilloman replied to drgodfather's topic in General Students

   When you go back to review your exam don't just look at it from a content perspective. (ie, I missed the 2 questions on topic x) Do a FULL ANALYSIS of the exam, the questions, the answers, and how you handled each question. Start with the ones you ...

   W2, yes, I'm in Cohort9. Pointers? On the entrance exam? Man, that seems like a lifetime ago. Speed and accuracy is the key. Obviously the math. The spatial stuff you can find online somewhere, I think Cape Fear CC has an online test that is simil...

9. Anxiety: It's killing me!

   Lilloman replied to RadfordSN's topic in General Students

   Good critical thinking Radford! I was about to suggest the same thing, Lunah. Other ideas: * Does your school have an alumni association? There might be someone there willing to help you out. * Is there someone at the facility(ies) where you are...

    Lilloman replied to RadfordSN's topic in General Students

    If the issue in only money, then either take a taxi those days or rent a car for the given days (+ 1 or 2 days for pickup/return). Enterprise comes and picks you up and drops you off...so you don't even need extra transportation to get to the rental...

11. Expelled :(

    Lilloman replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in General Students

    If you have been written up (or expelled) multiple times, then you (the royal you, that is) most likely have an issue that is not conducive with being as nurse (as perceived by your school) and is not being positively modified. Everyone seems to lose...

12. Should I sign a contract with my hospital to pay for school?

    Lilloman replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    I think the first step is to, as we've inferred here, get more information, preferably in writing, so you can make an informed decision about the contract you would be signing. What is each parties responsibilities and obligations? If you have the ...

13. Should I sign a contract with my hospital to pay for school?

    Lilloman replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    What are the rules and penalties for signing the contract and then either: leaving before the end of two years, or not taking a job with them at all? Where I am the hospital allows us to sign a unilateral contract. They have the obligation to give ...

14. Hey Fall 2009 new nursing students... How is it so far?!

    Lilloman replied to espo44's topic in General Students

    Just hit mid-term. Loving every minute of it. Lots to do but it's a blast. 3 tests down, 3 to go. The school also just changed the cirriculum, so there is a lot of give and take going on. So far everyone has been great from the school director throu...

    Lilloman replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina

    If you want to start in January then you most definitely need to be taking the exam ASAP. I believe they are testing this week, so if you aren't in this rotation then it will be September before you can take it. The test/apply/approval process takes ...
