    CNA's that are nursing students practicing skills at work?

    napswithcats replied to guest1115066's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked at nursing home and LVN’s WANTED me to help them with the stuff they didn’t want to do such as wounds, colostomy bag changes, and scabies treatments. I always refused because I’m not...

    Discouraged CNA

    napswithcats replied to A_Nurse_Assistant's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What you are going through is perfectly normal. The truth is that starting out, you WILL be slow, you will make more mistakes that will get on people’s bad side or frustrate them. People WILL be...

    napswithcats replied to Murse4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    UWorld Self Assesment, is UWorld enough?

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

    I ended up passing in 75 questions, it’s almost scary how the content on UWorld was almost identical to my particular questions on the NCLEX but worded in a much simpler manner. Now I feel as if I...

    The nerves are starting to build up

    napswithcats replied to ali412's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To add on to NICU Guy: You will take your test, the waiting period to get your results will be BRUTAL and you will doubt yourself and freak out. But when your license is posted and you inform us that...

    NCLEX-RN practice exam

    napswithcats replied to KPalmer29's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Are those the $150 ones meant to mimic the actual NCLEX?? I was curious about them but they just felt too expensive. I used the predictors on UWorld and Kaplan which my school provided for

    I took it in California too. My classmates have been getting very fast results here!! Like in 2 to 3 days. 5 days of waiting is too much

    napswithcats replied to RN_OneDay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NCLEX 2019 UWORLD/NCSBN

    napswithcats replied to Nurseh2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What she means is vague. For example with pharm questions, UWorld will ask you a question about a medication but will most likely include the pt’s diagnosis or other relevant info that may hint at...

    napswithcats replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I ended up receiving the email until almost midnight so that was weird. I can’t imagine having to wait six days. The waiting period is more torturous than the actual exam!! I got so constipated from...

    I am also coming from an ADN program and took it today too! It shut off at 75 questions but I felt like I was guessing on all of them. I feel sick to my stomach and I am going crazy but hoping for...

    NCLEX-RN

    napswithcats replied to Wily's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That costs as much as the entire RN program at my local community college. Maybe if you are an international student or someone who waited 10 years before taking the NCLEX and don't know ANYTHING but...
