2. I have an afternoon test time 1345. When should studying stop?

   nevergiveup2016 replied to nevergiveup2016's topic in NCLEX

   Well I definitely planned to try and stay up really late so I could naturally wake up at 10 or so. Hopefully that does not backfire on me.... I however probably will have lab values written on a note card and may glance at them before going into the ...

3. I have an afternoon test time 1345. When should studying stop?

   nevergiveup2016 posted a topic in NCLEX

   A lot of people say don't study the day before. Well I don't care to stop early. I am testing late though and thought about a 1500 study stop time. That would still give me plenty of time to "relax". Is that too late or too early? I can't see not stu...

6. Quitting my 1st RN job

   nevergiveup2016 replied to Nori.Giselle's topic in General Nursing

   Typically in ICU settings they like you to stay 2.5years. This is because it takes approximately 18 months to train you fully. Then you need to add in at least 1 year of knowing full knowledge and potentially applying it. Now I'm not saying everyone ...

   nevergiveup2016 replied to nevergiveup2016's topic in NCLEX

    I'm in a BSN class. Our instructors keep informing us that hospitals love hiring students from our program but graduating without a job scares me.... I currently work at a hospital as an assistant but I was just informed they only do new grad hires i...

15. Should I switch from Nursing?

    nevergiveup2016 replied to RandhM16's topic in General Students

    I would not waste money on a second degree that you may or may not get to use or find employment. Apply to every single program that you would be willing to drive to. Apply for ASN programs. Thats what i would do. Do not give up so easily
