   I've heard many people say that the Lacharity priority and delegation book is pretty good, you may want to check that out.

2. Advice for a low GPA student.

   chessknightRN replied to Miewn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would definitely suggest finishing your current degree before you decide on nursing school, especially since you are a senior. With Nursing being such a competitive field now, chances are it would take at least that long after applying before you a...

3. Didn't pass the NCLEX RN due to anxiety

   chessknightRN replied to LSoMagical's topic in NCLEX

   Yep you are right, it's definitely a lot harder to pass if you don't finish the test. I just took the test and had all 265 questions, it was awful...lol. Hopefully I passed, now I have to wait 48 hours to find out!

4. NCLEX tomorrow!!

   chessknightRN replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in NCLEX

5. Didn't pass the NCLEX RN due to anxiety

   chessknightRN replied to LSoMagical's topic in NCLEX

   From my understanding you can not fail the test by running out of time. They simply take the last 60 questions you answered to determine if you have passed or failed. I know a couple of people who did not finish the exam by the time limit and still p...

   I'm #24 at Flo Valley so it looks like I'll be there next fall unless I somehow make it into Meramec or FP this Spring.

10. Starting pay new ADN in St. Louis?

    chessknightRN replied to STLCCSTUDENT's topic in Missouri

    Just wanted to echo the sentiment of getting a job as a tech part-time while in nursing school. I'm currently a tech and I have seen pretty much every single one of my fellow techs who graduated nursing school get hired on to stay as an RN and they a...

    chessknightRN replied to Katharine's topic in Missouri

    No problem, I'm sure you'll do fine! I've only been working there for 4 months but I like it and they have great benefits including tuition reimbursement and lots of vacation time...feel free to send me a message if you have any specific questions.

    chessknightRN replied to Katharine's topic in Missouri

    Hi, just be ready to answer the standard questions like why do you want to work there, what are your strengths/weaknesses, etc...and you should be fine. I was hired with no experience as were some others in my PCA class so you definitely have a chanc...
