    The overwhelming stress of nursing school

    Rainbow_RN replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    Yas! Triage Your Time!! Let's say you have 12 drugs to memorize, 50 symptoms, and 8 interventions. Hit the interventions first since it's the lowest number of items, and they're more likely to show up...

    Please help.. friend copied my resume

    Rainbow_RN replied to nayu00's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I got asked to help out with resumes quite a bit by other students. All of the ones that I made or edited for people were purposefully designed to have just a little bit less razzle dazzle than mine....

    Can "C, B" nursing graduates pass the NCLEX?

    Rainbow_RN replied to Chronicallychanging's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was an average student, sometimes barely scraping by with the lowest C possible. Passed the NCLEX in 75 questions. If I can do it, you can do it. I don't think grades matter as much as the way that...

    NCLEX Studying is Making Me Wish I Never Graduated

    Rainbow_RN replied to Rainbow_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I never said I liked Kaplan... Some people swear by Hurst. I found out today that I passed the NCLEX with using basically just the NCSBN review and a sprinkle of Kaplan. I think it's about knowing...

    NCLEX Studying is Making Me Wish I Never Graduated

    Thank you! I have been blessed with a med-surg offer from the local hospital. I took the NCLEX today and it shut off in

    Hiring manager offered position, HR said no and won't tell me why.

    Rainbow_RN replied to MiloRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a fellow resident of a different "at-will" state... They don't have to give you a reason. If they didn't like you for a superficial reason, they could refuse to hire you. it's unfortunate, but it's...

    Help! I feel like I made a mistake

    Rainbow_RN replied to dukeRN92's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's not a conflict. It's you being assertive with your happiness on the line. Congrats on your job offer from Duke -- I know just how competitive that is, having gone to school in North Carolina....

    Help me pick a surgery to observe!!

    Rainbow_RN replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Students

    The first surgery that I saw was a spinal I&D. Interesting, but not the most interesting thing I've seen. I'd recommend everybody to see a CABG or aortic root repair, but I'm partial to

    Applying for crna school, with non traditional grades

    Rainbow_RN replied to RunningNurse18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Following. I have a similar situation, with a 2.6 in early university years. I could retake one of my sciences--Calculus III is off the table since I got an F in that twice. I hope this is possible...

    Has anyone taken microbiology and physiology in the same semester?

    Rainbow_RN replied to sofiwes49's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did it. I'm the type of person that does well studying in short bursts, though. I took Micro & AP2 in the same semester and got an A in micro, B in physiology. Honestly, I'd say know yourself...

    Just can't get in....grades not good enough

    Rainbow_RN replied to clover2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What sort of program is the local program? ADN, BSN? Do you have a willingness to go to any lengths, lol? I know many similarly situated people that have succeeded, so don't give

    Rainbow_RN replied to sch19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Since I didn't see a forum for May, I'm just gonna hop on here. Took my NCLEX today, shutoff in 75, Pearson's got the good pop up. Anyone know if the "two business days" for unofficial results means...

    Pearson Vue Trick "Facts"

    Rainbow_RN replied to HopefulGradNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those two things were my biggest demons as well. I'm trying to defeat them pre-NCLEX. Unless I second-guess myself, and my confidence is tanked, I'm not going to fail. Thanks. This helped reassure

    A weird interview exercise; and how interviews have changed: for the Worse!

    Rainbow_RN replied to BlinkyPinky's topic in General Nursing

    I think personality tests are fake. I did the Myers Briggs Inventory one year apart. On the first one, I was an introvert and on the second one, I was an extrovert. I can't believe some people use...

    Pearson Vue trick

    Rainbow_RN replied to Momtoabeautyboy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have heard that there are some "false negatives" with the bad pop up, but no "false positives" with the good pop up. In other words, you are probably good to go. Best of luck! And I am just curious,...
