1. Day nurses who switched from nights, is it better?

   Singingbird812 replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

   As weird as it sounds, I am almost glad to hear someone else questioning this. I've only been working nights for about four months now, but it's really starting to get to me. I feel like I never get to see, or even talk, to anyone I really care abo...

2. Please HELP! Best NCLEX RN review book?!

   Singingbird812 replied to court304's topic in NCLEX

   Yes, but it was still active and the first option that came up when searching for information about this topic. As such, I figured it could help current students who were looking for what worked for others. Always better to have more information, e...

3. Please HELP! Best NCLEX RN review book?!

   Singingbird812 replied to court304's topic in NCLEX

   My school had it set up so we automatically did Hurst Review for three days towards the end of the semester and Prep-U throughout the entirety of our last semester. I also purchased a Kaplan book for my own use. Of the three, the Hurst Review defin...

   Singingbird812 replied to Pmkn10RN's topic in Virginia

   Calling the BON worked for me the day after my test! Thanks so much for posting that! Before reading this, the only thing I heard was to look on the website, which I didn't realize took longer. It was starting to make me nervous that I wasn't showin...

   Singingbird812 replied to shamrock529's topic in Virginia

   Hi, I know you didn't ask me directly but when I was in my first semester I studied about 6 hours a day. Since then, the amount of studying has gone down drastically, but it was getting the foundation of everything that made it so difficult. As to...

   To be quite honest, everything but pharmacology and pathophysiology. They were the only two books I used all semester. My roommate, on the other hand, only used pharm and did quite well. She also noticed some errors in the patho study guide, so yo...

   Sorry, haven't checked this in a while! Anyway, since your deposit has been posted you're already a step ahead of what I had to deal with so you're well on your way :) First thing, have you gotten a bill yet? If so, I'd suggest trying to start apply...

   I'm at Leesburg so sadly I cannot be of much help for Winchester. My friend knows someone in the pharmacy program there that loves it, so hopefully you will too :) And congrats to everyone who got in! :)

    Which campus are you attending? Not sure I can help much because I'm not from the area but it's worth a shot. I think I remember seeing something about housing on one of the facebook pages related to apartments and such but I can't remember which o...

    Singingbird812 replied to shamrock529's topic in Virginia

    I think it's about 400 clinical hours but I can't remember the exact amount. I do know it is well above the minimum clinical hours requirement. So far it doesn't seem overwhelming (or underwhelming) but I know it's harder for some than others. Righ...

    nermface, were you able to get all your questions answered at the info session? If not, I might be able to help out a bit. Actually just came back again to give some advice from my roommate. For the first semester, if you have the time to search ...

    Singingbird812 replied to shamrock529's topic in Virginia

    It honestly depends. My cohort started with around 30 people but the one before mine had about 60. Not sure how it is at the Winchester campus however. Also, I wanted to let people know a few things that differed from the admission packet in terms...

    Hey! So I just found out I was accepted to the program starting in January and was wondering what everyone had found out about housing in Leesburg. Does the school help in any way or are students on their own? Anyone have any ideas of where to live?...
