  1. Students (and others) using staff parking

    If you confronted me as a student, I would say "BITE ME!" But now that I'm a staff, I've turned a complete 180 and now will bite any students who dare park in our staff parking.
  2. All about AHS & Covenant

    I'm an AHS employee, it's been hard for me to apply for any positions too. I've applied to many internal postings and no calls so far. It really boils down to your experience and seniority. I can only imagine how difficult it is as an external appli...
  3. NCLEX in 2 days!! Help

    No that is a common misconception, getting a lot of SATA questions does not guarantee anything. There are SATA questions that are also at below the line so the SATA's do not mean they are necessarily at a difficult level.
  4. Best way to utilize UWorld? By Subject/System or Random QBank Order

    I suppose do what's best for you. I personally did randomized because that is how the NCLEX will be. Also, I'm not fond of doing a systemized test because I feel like time will be spent on various topics, only to be forgotten "later on" while focusin...
  5. Studying with Saunders

    To be honest, when I used Saunders, it was information overload. There were definitely a lot of good information to know (especially the red highlighted texts which actually helped me answer several NCLEX questions!). I also used UWorld, and I relied...
  6. Handing Resumes to Managers In Person

    A unit manager (RAH) I spoke with stated that it puts a face to the applicant, to which she prefers. To say that it gives some benefits over online application, I would like to say it does -- for some unit managers, not all I suppose.
  7. Nclex rn failed 3

    You used 3 highly reputable resources to study for the NCLEX. Do you think you have difficulty in certain types of questions (ie. Prioritization), do you have a good understanding of core nursing knowledge and are you able to apply them in questions?...
  8. UWorld Predictor & Actual NCLEX RN??

    None of us here will be able to give you a response with certainty if that predictor gives a 'good indicator' if you will pass the NCLEX. Obviously it is only a predictor and it appears that you have scored highly to determine just that. I took those...
  9. Anything else besides UWorld & Kaplan?

    Can you elaborate on how your experience on the NCLEX vs UWorld? Personally, I found the NCLEX harder than UWorld, but I thought the questions were very very similar in style. In fact, I had a few questions on the NCLEX that was almost like a few I h...
  10. Anyone tried N-powerment NCLEX review?

    Very very interesting to see 3 brand new members commenting right after the other lol. So let's examine their 3 reasons for not using qBanks.... Right, it's best to use questions banks AFTER studying core content. Though, its not exactly wrong to ...
  11. Anyone tried N-powerment NCLEX review?

    That looks like a Canadian based exam prep. I'm also Canadian, but I've never heard of it, but it seems to be based in Ontario (I'm from Alberta.) They claim a 99% pass rate which is quite a bold claim in my opinion - who knows what the underlying st...
  12. Feeling VERY defeated after NCLEX exam

    Hey there! I wrote my exam on April 5 with 88 questions, and I also felt the exact same way in that I walked out of the building feeling defeated. It's understandable for us, considering that this is the single most important exam before finally bec...
  13. NCLEX Exam

    Can you explain what you do during the 4.5 minutes per question?
  14. NCLEX RN Canada

    I did not realize that the PVT trick worked in Canada!
  15. Open book exams

    I know, but the way the instructor wrote the exam, she definitely wrote it up for failure because the questions were far too specific that you'd literally have to have impressive photographic memory to remember everything you've read on the textbook....
