1. A big problem, need help :(

   justwandering31 replied to drjoey's topic in NCLEX

   Just wondering if your girlfriend took her exam on Friday the 27th? Was hoping to hear some good news about her test.

2. success with ATI

   justwandering31 replied to Bornleader-NP-C's topic in NCLEX

   The RNs on my preceptor unit in school who had graduated within the last year or 2 told me ATI is what they used to study. My school used ATI throughout the program to test our knowledge. I also used Saunders books to study for NCLEX too. I think all...

3. Values/Beliefs paper topic ideas?

   justwandering31 replied to haunani's topic in Student Assist

   People's religious/cultural beliefs may be in conflict with your own beliefs and values. For instance if parents don't want to give their child blood products or certain tests. How would you feel if someone chose to forgo a treatment you knew would s...

4. A big problem, need help :(

   justwandering31 replied to drjoey's topic in NCLEX

   To add on to my previous post, she really needs to not read into the question. This is hard when you are nervous about a test. This being her second time must be making it that much worse. I am not a good test taker so I can empathize. I did pass NCL...

5. A big problem, need help :(

   justwandering31 replied to drjoey's topic in NCLEX

   I don't want to make light of the fact that she may not be ready to retake NCLEX but my understanding is that Kaplan has harder questions. Has she looked to see what score is considered "good" on those tests? I did Saunders review books and I think ...

6. Med focus???

   justwandering31 replied to o2BRN's topic in NCLEX

   I would study the suffixes. Example: -lol = Beta Blocker, -pril = ace inhibitor, etc. There are lists you can find online, just search "drug suffixes list".

7. Urgent help needed regarding the NCLEX...

   justwandering31 replied to drjoey's topic in NCLEX

   I am not a good "test taker" but, I studied Saunder's content review book and did over 3000 questions between that book and the Saunder's Q&A book. I passed on the first try with around 85 questions. I will say the questions in the Saunder's book...

8. Failed, I need some advice!

   justwandering31 replied to kindofageek's topic in General Students

   If the other suggestions don't work, could you apply to an ADN program? You could have your degree in 2 years then go back and get your BSN while working as an RN. Many RN-BSN courses are online and take 1 year (3 semesters) to complete. (That doesn...

9. Opinions regarding preceptorship

   justwandering31 replied to shannahan's topic in New Nurse

   I did my preceptor in ICU and really learned a lot, especially critical thinking skills. One thing though, the hospital I was at and the ones around me do not hire new grads into ICU unless there is a desperate need and with the economy like it is, t...

10. Cape Fear Valley New Grad Program

    justwandering31 posted a topic in North Carolina

    I was wondering if anyone has gone through the new grad program at Cape Fear Valley Hospital in Fayetteville, NC. I want to know if it is a good program and how you liked it. Also, If you haven't been through the program but work at the hospital, ho...

11. Info for nclex questions???

    justwandering31 replied to gj47479's topic in NCLEX

    My textbooks had CDs in them. Each one has NCLEX questions on them. If your textbooks came with a CD you should check them out and see if there are any on there.

12. Central Piedmont CPCC A&P online classes

    justwandering31 replied to Summers_Off's topic in North Carolina

    I took the 2nd A&P online and got an A. I am not sure I would have done as well if I didn't have the foundation from the 1st A&P in the classroom. I had to be pretty disciplined about keeping up with my work and the teacher wasn't great about...

13. CMC New Grad Program

    justwandering31 replied to gigi01's topic in North Carolina

    Cam-Not sure where in Charlotte you live, but Palmetto Health in Columbia, SC has new grad positions listed for 2 hospitals (both in Columbia). It is about 1 1/2 hrs from southwest Charlotte (and Pineville area) on Mapquest, but it is an easy drive a...

14. CMC New Grad Program

    justwandering31 replied to gigi01's topic in North Carolina

    Cam -I will graduate in May. The only reason I can think of for being rejected w/o an interview is that they have a lot of students who do their clinical rotations there. CPCC, UNCC, Mercy School of Nursing, and their own College of Health Sciences. ...

15. CMC New Grad Program

    justwandering31 replied to gigi01's topic in North Carolina

    Cam RN - I did not have an interview with CMC, they rejected me without even giving me an interview. It may be a good sign that you haven't heard anything yet. The letter was postmarked on 4/15 so if you don't have one, maybe they are planning on int...
