1. Kaplan Scores

   ABailey2326 replied to OneHappyRN's topic in NCLEX

   I recently took the Kaplan course (in March) and I took my NCLEX in May and I passed :) When I took QBank questions, my scores were in the mid 50 to mid 60, and the more I did I began to feel more comfortable. I took 99% of QBank questions. On the QT...

   ABailey2326 posted a topic in NICU

   I am ecstatic to say I have accepted a residency in a local level III NICU! I am super excited and scared at the same time. I did my preceptorship in an adult ICU, so I have a little intensive care experience, as well as about a year experience in an...

   Thanks everyone for the positive words. I feel better with some direction for where to go. Since I have a week or two until I start, I am going to focus on labs, and exercising my critical thinking skills. I cant wait to begin! Recently at work (I wo...

   ABailey2326 posted a topic in General Students

   I will be starting my preceptorship (I am in an ADN program) in the ICU in January. I am absolutely terrified! I have zero confidence, and I dont know where to begin brushing up on the basics before I start. I have seen a lot of the websites out, lik...

   No I didn't get to work at all before finding out I got into TCC. I passed the state boards test the beginning of February, and I was just beginning to apply for jobs when I found out I got in. I figured I would wait until I figured out how full my s...

   ABailey2326 replied to ABailey2326's topic in Washington

   I've taken most of my pre-reqs at TCC, but I took Medical Terminology and A&P 1 and 2 through the Pierce College military program. I wanted to take all of my classes at TCC but I did not want to wait around to get into A&P so I jumped over to...

    I am in the full time program. I am really nervous, but I am also very very excited. I wish we knew what books we needed so we can start looking now though. I want to try and get them online. Amy

    I haven't received an email either. I am so excited. Hopefully we hear from someone tomorrow. I wanted to email someone too, but I figured I'd wait a little longer because of the weekend and the holiday. I keep checking the lottery page to check my r...

    Hello! I just got pulled for the Spring 2012 lottery for TCC and was wondering if there was anyone else here who has been through the program lately and might have advice, or anyone else who was also lucky enough to be picked in the lottery... Amy
