  1. NCLEX-RN; Terrified

    rnhopeful82 replied to briixx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just watch out you dont get test fatigue. I found that if I studied for a large part of the day that my scores dropped towards the end. Make sure you take

  2. NCLEX-RN; Terrified

    rnhopeful82 replied to briixx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used uworld but took no notes. I read and remembered the concept. I read all rationales right or wrong. I was pressed for time and only completed 625 questions of the 2100 qbank. I did the 1st...

  3. Lost in NCLEX resources

    rnhopeful82 replied to hapham3693's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How much of uworld did you use prior to the test? I was slammed for time and only completed about 600 questions (plus the 2 assessments) but I loved the rationales they gave. I passed in 75 questions...

  4. NCLEX: expectation to pass

    rnhopeful82 replied to Snatchedwig's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    hahaha same! Except I was very unprepared feeling (600 out of 2100 uworld done in the qbank and the 2 assessments) but the start date for my new job and the sporadic testing dates they gave me left me...

  5. Nursing Equipment Kit from school- worth it?

    rnhopeful82 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    The kit for my school (which was not mandatory) had a bp cuff, stethoscope, and a penlight maybe? The stethoscope ear pieces fell off of everyone's that bought the kit and the velcro for the bp cuff...

  6. Nclex

    rnhopeful82 replied to sianee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've heard of test anxiety, but taking almost 6 full hours to do 75 questions boggles my mind. Not including any breaks you may have taken, 5.5 hours is 330 minutes. With 75 questions that's 4.4...

  7. Why did you choose that nursing program (current or past)?

    rnhopeful82 replied to NurseBlaq's topic in General Nursing

    I chose mine because it was the only school that offered evening and weekend clinicals and I need to keep my full time job for bills and insurance. It's more expensive than the community colleges, but...

  8. Did you live alone, worked while going to nursing school?

    rnhopeful82 replied to Hanhxx's topic in General Nursing

    I'm living alone, working full time Mon-Fri 830-430 and am finishing up my last semester of nursing school (yayay!!) I took 4 semesters of pre-reqs, 2 classes each, 1 science w a lab each time, too....

  9. Am I just not meant to be a nurse?

    rnhopeful82 replied to MamaBear2326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If this hospital is a big one due to the geographical area, and one of only a few around, you might want to make sure that your walking out won't impact possible clinical rotations for your school or...

  10. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    rnhopeful82 replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    They are there to learn, I am unsure how loud they were talking during the discussion about the procedure, but then they started talking about their school and what else they've seen. That's...

  11. In Need of Some Advice Please

    rnhopeful82 replied to urijahsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I like to read people's pros and cons for decision making. Usually the one they want the most shines through with more positive pros and less negative cons and vice versa. I think you know what you...

  12. Individual Attention in Nursing Class of 80 Students

    rnhopeful82 replied to annabellarose77's topic in General Students

    I don't go there, but my school breaks the classes up: 1/2 choose the day lecture, 1/2 choose the evening lecture and clinical groups never have more than 8 students, we have had some with 3 and mine...

  13. Discouraged New Grad

    rnhopeful82 replied to m_n_b_96's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Even if you were in school, you wouldn't need to disclose a thing to this person. Now that you're out of school (congrats!) just block him from all contact and social media. You haven't taken the...

  14. Working with a fracture

    rnhopeful82 replied to Cgritz77's topic in General Nursing

    I think hers is a sprain? It did not happen at work and she was still having a full patient load. She seems fine

  15. Working with a fracture

    rnhopeful82 replied to Cgritz77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure about how easy it'll be to land a job in a boot, but a nurse where I'm doing clinicals is in a walking boot. Shes always on the move,

  16. Going into nursing with no prior medical experience. Am I insane?

    rnhopeful82 replied to Mmonroe2004's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did not have any medical background. I have a psych degree and another in addiction counseling. The only class where CNAs were better off was the first semester because they were used to bed baths,...

  17. ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    rnhopeful82 replied to Anon143's topic in School, College Programs

    that's not how most schools are...yours lets you do tutoring if you are failing at a 75 lol. Ours is 77 to pass, 76.99 is failing, no rounding. Clinical is pass/fail so all grades come from tests,...

  18. Vaccination for clinical

    rnhopeful82 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    I am so confused by all of this. No one would/should administer penicillin to someone that is allergic. That's not what happens. Vaccines have been proven effective and the only reason that measles is...

  19. Joint Commission and Ligature Points

    rnhopeful82 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    When the person is the door, are people allowed to go into the room? If there were no doors previously, I would assume so. So are they just a gatekeeper/watcher of the chairs? It reminds me of the...

  20. How much math is actually used in Nursing school and at the job site?

    rnhopeful82 replied to nay018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just started my last semester (thank goodness) and we have had math questions on almost every test. We also have to pass a math test the first day of clinicals to be able to pass meds. The passing...

  21. HELP!

    rnhopeful82 replied to thejosephZ's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If reading isn't your studying style (reading chapters 2-3 times and not being able to link ideas seems like you might learn differently), why don't you try recording the lectures to re-listen? I...

  22. How do you get called in?

    rnhopeful82 replied to Johnnyappleseed's topic in General Nursing

    Another option might be to change the text message sound to a louder and longer alert than a beep. If the same number texts each time, she can also change the alert for that number

  23. I NEED HELP ASAP!! Should I transfer out of Stony Brook ?

    rnhopeful82 replied to FutureNurseCrystal06's topic in School, College Programs

    If you want to do nursing, and you are only a freshman, why continue for 4 years and pay tuition at a school that can't offer classes you

  24. Failed AP + Lab

    rnhopeful82 replied to Tim Burton's topic in General Students

    My first degree, bio lab and lecture were 2 different classes (3 credits and 1 credit). Now, my school has science lectures and labs counted as 1 4 credit class. You would need to ask your school....

  25. I failed the FL NCLEX for the 2nd time!!

    rnhopeful82 replied to ineedachange1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
