I think you passed, congrats. I am definitely set on using Uworld next year. Going into my third semester.

Wow I had that issue but didn't feel like spending a dime on a computer. I spoke to a few people at my school who spoke to a few other people and I was able to get in campus based program helping students with loaner laptops for school. I received a ...

OP if nursing is your dream please don't let this stop you. With your level, you can still doing LPN and bridge to RN or apply to an ADN program and see where you will be placed. I think the term "race card" in of itself is wrong to say to anyone re...

I used to work as a dietary aide on a skill nursing floor and we made evening sandwiches for those residents requiring frequent snacking due to diabetes or other conditions and I remember our supervisor saying don't make more than 4 sandwiches, those...

This happens to me too. I believe the brain retains the info for you in your long term memory so when you face the exam it retrieves and convinces you that's the answer, which is why you are doing great on the exam. As for me what helps me remember t...

Thanks for the detail answer. I will need to weight the pros and cons if I do decide to go this route.

Thank you for answering. In my case, I would be coming out of state and probably work 4 shifts in a pay period and 0 shift in the next pay period due to maintaining a full time job where I live (East Coast). Also is it true that California requires e...

Awesome. Congrats on that as well, I know you will do great.

Hello, I keep hearing that PRN jobs in California pays really well. instead of doing travel nursing, you would go in for 4 days in a month and pretty much work and manage with airbnb, cheap flights and uber. I am still a student but interested in thi...

Congrats Emmjayy. I am happy that you passed. Your stats are pretty impressive so you must have studied really hard. I graduate one year from now and am convince I will use Uworld for review but will add your strategy as well. Keep us updated on job ...

I hear you. Felt just like that during my first semester. I wanted to do it all so felt guilty every time I would take a break to just relax or wasn't doing something perfect. During second semester, I changed it all. I made peace with getting a B (e...

Wow I am very surprised by how many hours you are able to work per week. I am still a student but usually hear nurses say after 3 12's they are so dead tired it's impossible to work extra. You are doing almost twice that. Also its frown upon because ...

Not that hard: I spend about $50 on essentials such as eggs, oil, brown rice, onions, meat or fish on sale, frozen veggies, oatmeals and I always make sure it's in large quantity. I also prefer shopping at Aldi or korean store (good price on seafood)...

That's great! I just googled dave ramsey and there's a show on YouTube. I will definitely buy the book. I am already a saver but need guidance so thank you.

Wow didn't know about this. I will check it out for some tips as well. Is there a direct website to read about it?

Lol I don't understand why people sometimes relate or limit eating cheap only to rice and beans or Ramen noodles. As a poor college student, I am able to make amazing healthy meals on less than 50 bucks/week, sometimes two weeks. You just have to kno...

I would plan my life on only two weeks take home pay and use the remaining two weeks pay to just pay the loans. If you work extra shifts, use that money toward the loans as well. Trying to limit yourself on basic needs will be challenging but if you ...

Wow wow wow this is a first. Don't retake a whole anatomy class you already passed. Listen you won't know everything in the body before you start nursing and that's ok. Know that in nursing school your textbooks will have an overview of AP as well as...

Hello is this program nationwide? I live in the DC metro area and will graduate next year. I am interested in working at Kaiser. We have many facilities here but getting in is very hard.

I really don't know if they will accommodate your request to retake the classes in the summer unless you ask them directly. At my school, acceptance letters are sent out in may, schedules are finalized in June. Students are also required to submit he...

Professor: Judging from the way they are looking at the medications, I am relieved we are first starting them off with administering fake meds to the sim men.

It's the busy work that make it a lot harder.

I wouldn't recommend this at all. If still taking prerequisites then ok but in the nursing program you Need focus and working this way will not be good. As someone mentioned, there are many ways to afford quality insurance without being a full time e...

I have to respectfully disagree with you op. People have different test taking habits that is all. Also in my program, I found that students who finish fast most often reported the highest grades and those that finish last usually say that they strug...

Can you look into agencies that provide home sitters? I live in a big metro area (DC metro area) and during my prerequisites I worked with an agency doing babysitting jobs for families with various needs. It literally paid my school and bills. If you...
