1. Pearson vue trick doesn't always work

   ETovar replied to dnmcgee626's topic in NCLEX

   I just took the NCLEX and it shut off after question #75. I did the Pearson Vue Trick and it allowed me to enter my CC info. I don't know what to think at this point. All I can do is wait.

   Patito, You're pretty much going to be in school all day. I work part time and I only work weekends. Your schedule is going to be different each day. You'll be getting a schedule for the semester that tells what class/lab/lecture you'll have each ...

   Patito, It all depends on the pool that's ranking with you in Oct. When I ranked in June there was about 60 students out of the 90 that got accepted all had A's in their ranking courses (AP I and II, and Micro). The rest of the students had 2 ...

   ellasbella, Hi! I haven't been on here in awhile either. What do you think of ***** so far? I had her for Micro and did well in the class. I'm taking Pharm right now with ***********. I'm sure you've heard of her, she's the Nurse Practitioner fo...

9. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

   ETovar replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

   CSantos, I could not stop reading about all your experiences about your first semester in Nursing School. This is exactly the kind of thread I was looking for. You gave good detailed information about what goes on in Nursing School (types of lectur...

10. Will my nursing school be stressful? *Schedule for semesters included*

    ETovar replied to johnemmons's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, my suggestion is if you don't have to work while you're in the program then don't work. A couple of my friends are nurses and they said the nursing program is intense and it takes up a lot of your time(clinicals, homework, studying, etc.) I'm w...

    ETovar replied to medgirlRN's topic in Texas

    Hello ellasbella, I took Ms. ****** for both AP I & II. I got A's in both. Although some students said she was tough, I learned a lot from her. What I liked about her is that she gave us a study guide for each exam, so we knew more or less what...

13. Does being a guy have any affect on being accepted into your schools nursing program?

    ETovar replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Male Students

    I've heard that a male has priority getting accepted than a female into the Nursing Program simply because they need a lot more male nurses in the workplace. P.S. I hope that's true!!!!

14. Game Plan with my BA/MBA but want an ADN

    ETovar replied to RNrhythm's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi, we're in the same boat. I have my BBA (marketing/management) but I've always wanted to be a nurse. I'm also going for my ADN and in the future get my BSN. I have my BBA to back it up so I really don't see the need to get my BSN right now. I'v...

15. Anatomy and Chem this Fall...who else?

    ETovar replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Study, study, study!!! I've taken both AP I and II. Got A's in both. It's a lot of reading. If you don't understand the chapter read it again. What helped me is I took notes as I read. I studied a lot. The urinary, respiratory, and digestive s...
