   Graduating With A DNP Without Prior Nursing Experience. Thoughts? Suggestions?

   BONBON replied to scribe1290's topic in General Students

   BONBON replied to cdiffhater's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Ooh sorry I misread! Honestly I would just call Pearson Vue, they would be able to pull up your account and should be able to tell you exactly what's going on! Since it was so long ago, there may be a...

   Failed NCLEX 2nd time

   BONBON replied to kcrisanti's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I felt like UWorld helped prepare me well because of the rationales for each answer. Beyond that, UWorld gives you additional context outside of the answers they provide. It also mimics the test...

   BONBON replied to cdiffhater's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Perhaps you have to resubmit your transcript? The reason why my ATT took so long to receive after graduation was because they failed to notify me that my transcript I had sent was missing something on...

   FAILED the NCLEX 3x! HOW to pass?!

   BONBON replied to CAgirl23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I have someone in my program who used an NCSBN (and I believe paid over $100 for it) and she found it to be useless and not worth her money she said. I personally only used UWorld and then took the...

    Hardest Clinical Rotation?

    BONBON replied to Leapheng123's topic in General Students

    What about your grading is so strict for clinical? We had a sheet the nurse had to sign off on when I was done with my clinical. It covered basics such as "safe care," "communication skills," etc....

    What courses were hardest in your first year of nursing?

    BONBON replied to hadeskitten's topic in General Students

    BONBON replied to Casey_93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took my test this past Tuesday. I wasn't nervous, and felt good going in. I think my UWorld scores helped in my confidence (I also have never really been a nervous test taker so that helped.) However,...
