    @vcRNI wish I had taken it sooner! One of people in my cohort got her ATT a week before the rest of us. Not sure why. Honestly, after school finished, I pretty much only used Picmonic. I did one...

    @Kimmy00 Thank you! And I certainly understand where you are coming from. It can sometimes be difficult to remove our emotions when reporting our experiences. There will always be something that we...

    You may just have to wait until the acceptance letter arrives in the mail. I am not sure. But I would obviously try to keep reaching out to your advisor. Because the staff is small and they handle...

    @CoeurCommeHepburn I don't know if I would classify it as shady. I believe I received an acceptance letter in the mail, but I do not remember how long it took for me to receive it. You might be able...

    @kimmy00 You can give a summary of your experience at the Orlando campus so far. I would just say to try to keep it factual, as if you were charting. What you’ve observed and maybe how classes were...

    @Kimmy00 Thank you! And CONGRATS on your 4.0! That’s no joke. I am glad I could provide some insight and assistance. I think it is important that we as nurses and nursing students be leaders not...

    Thank you! And those last 69 days are going to fly by! I cannot believe I started this journey two years ago with pre-reqs at Florida Southwestern. I feel like I have grown so much since

    And that is a wrap! Today is officially my last day of nursing school. However, I have already submitted all of my assignments, so I am just relaxing today. It still has not completely sunk in yet....

    Update! Alright, so this Wednesday morning we found out that we were scheduled to take our ATI Comp Predictor today... after all day of ATI Live Review... assuming we had met the score requirements...

    NICU_Nurse_Casti replied to NICU_Nurse_Casti's topic in School, College Programs

    @CoeurCommeHepburn There is certainly a lot to consider. I based my decision on where could I earn the highest degree the quickest. This may not be the best decision for everyone, but I knew that I...

    @CoeurCommeHepburn You have to do what is best for you! When you say “Polk,” are you talking about Polk State College? I’m not familiar with AHU, so can’t speak on their program. Rasmussen...

    @CoeurCommeHepburn Also, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! I am happy to help in any way I can. I am also moving to Orlando next month! So, maybe we will run into each other one...

    Your curriculum is much different than mine, but even when I had looked into taking an extra class, it did not seem worth it. Taking extra classes each quarter would not have helped me graduate...

    Update! Alright, so I got my score back for my second Leadership exam and got a 94%. I am happy with that, considering I really only studied for about an hour right before. Most of it had to do with...

  23. Does prestige of program matter?

    NICU_Nurse_Casti replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    I agree that anyone who graduates a nursing program should be prepared to sit for the NCLEX. But not all programs are created equal. We already know this. That is why we see schools get placed on...

  24. Does prestige of program matter?

    NICU_Nurse_Casti replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    I do not know if "better" is the right word... Ideally, every student should be ready to pass the NCLEX upon graduation, but this is not always the case. I think it is safe to say that a school that...

    NICU_Nurse_Casti replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    The purpose of the exit exam is to help keep the school's NCLEX pass rate up. The exit exams are meant to predict the probability of passing the NCLEX. So, if someone does not score well, the school...
