   dancehallradio replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX

   Took the NCLEX, 75 questions in 30 minutes and passed! Very exciting. Thought for sure I bombed, just because I went so fast and only had 75.

2. Online CPR renewal?

   dancehallradio replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Students

   I understand all of these things, but I still do not think it is necessary for someone who is renewing their license to have to take the whole course over again. Especially if they are in the healthcare field, where they are already doing these thing...

3. Online CPR renewal?

   dancehallradio replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Students

   Even if said person has been a nurse for x amount of years, and is up to date with their certification? What does doing compressions in front of an instructor demonstrate? You are going to break ribs, regardless of doing this hands on training..

4. Online CPR renewal?

   dancehallradio replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Students

   Really? I think by the 5th time renewing my certification, I have demonstrated I have the skills to perform cpr and other bls, that taking a test online to keep up to date on current recommendations, should suffice.

5. 4 year BSN program: When can I take the NCLEX?

   dancehallradio replied to Loveismagical's topic in NCLEX

   like everyone said, depends on the state. I live in MA, and in my school we have to complete our degree, and receive a stamped paper from our school, that we then send to the state board to begin the application process. There is absolutely no workin...

7. Question About Stretched Ears

   dancehallradio replied to KatieMarie1127's topic in General Students

   excuse me. I have tattoos, and I worked hard to get my diploma like everyone else! I am completley offended that you have decided that because I have tattoos I am someone you need to 'figure out', and am a 'freak.' I am a nurse just like YOU. My tatt...

8. What exactly do you learn/do during clinicals?

   dancehallradio replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

   like everyone said, you start off mostly just learning baths, and toileting. you continue to do that, but add skills. i gave meds with my instructor. we did assessments and vital signs on everyone. Then, depending on the patient you will do everythin...

   dancehallradio replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing

10. what was your gpa when you got accepted into nursing?

    dancehallradio replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Boston, MA. I had a 3.0 in highschool. Was accepted into the school but not into the program right away. Got a 4.0 on nursing prereqs. Finishing school with a 3.5.. funny how quickly it drops when you start taking nursing courses. haha.

    dancehallradio replied to ARickli's topic in Pre-Nursing

    wow, must be nice. I will graduate 100,000 in debt. and I am the only person in school.

12. How do you afford living expenses when attending full time school?

    dancehallradio replied to ARickli's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I worked part time while in school, but I did a traditional 4 year program. But I also know people in the accelerated programs that worked full time the whole way through. I think it is very much possible, the only problem is scheduling work. I never...

13. Private college or Community college for nursing school?

    dancehallradio replied to jennyjen87's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'd say getting your LPN now is a poor decision, like others have said. The future of nursing is BSN degrees, which many places are now requiring their nurses to have. I agree with taking your prereqs at a CC and then transferring to a BSN program. J...

14. Nursing student in need of improved study tips

    dancehallradio replied to theoj7's topic in General Students

    I also did flashcards(so...so many flashcards), but I have always found it is the only way to drill information into my brain because it is a constant quiz, just reading information/writing it down doesn't work for myself. After I went through a chap...
