  1. How long does it take for the Ohio Board of Nursing to process Program Completion Forms sent from a nursing school?

    kayji replied to ibprofriend's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ohio BON has very slow processing and slow or no response to email or phone (check Google reviews for lots of people with the same issue). They also seem to be fairly disorganized in terms of...

  2. I'm almost finished in my degree and I wanted to be with nurse instead, I need help

    kayji replied to Brooke Lynne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools will allow you to start an ABSN with a sufficient number of credits (not necessarily a completed degree). It can't hurt to ask your school if that is an option. Have you completed the...

  3. Can You Help Me Calculate This

    kayji replied to KizzieKae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Co-requisite usually means two classes that have to be taken at the same time (e.g. a lecture and lab). I don't know why they are using it for the A&P II and micro classes - it seems out of...

  4. ATI CAT Exams

    kayji replied to guest1122560's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There isn't a lot of info out there, but I think you're fine. You made it into the 'hard' question level, so that alone should tell you that you are doing well. Beyond that, it's expected that you...

  5. Emory D-ABSN 2021

    kayji replied to JLColton's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think overall passing minimum is 70%, and you also have to get 70% or higher on exams. "Students are required to repeat a course if they earn a grade below a C- (<70%). A grade below a C-...

  6. Emory University Nursing / D-ABSN Spring 2022

    kayji replied to emorynursingstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was in a previous Spring cohort. I applied in May and didn't get my acceptance until September, and that seemed like their first round of decisions that went out. The program is busy and you...

  7. ATI Comprehensive Predictor

    kayji replied to May 2014's topic in General Students

    The bigger concern for your friend might be learning the strategies used to answer ATI questions (e.g. studying answer rationales, breaking down the questions, and prioritization methods), which he...

  8. NCLEX questions

    kayji replied to guest1122560's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What state are you in? I just graduated in December and people from my cohort had very different wait times depending what state they applied for licensing in. Fastest were just a few days (RI,...

  9. IV Push Med Question

    kayji replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    What are your concerns about using a flush syringe? Try to think about what you need to accomplish when diluting IV meds and whether flushes or single use vials affect the outcome. As for...

  10. ATI critical thinking test

    kayji replied to NurseDD27's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You can't really study for it. It's logical problems like: If Alice is shorter than Bill, Bill is taller than Charlie, and Charlie is shorter than Daniel then which of the following must be...

  11. Next Gen NCLEX

    kayji replied to babynurse29's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The sample questions I had were more like a case study than the regular (stand alone) questions. There were a bunch of questions about one patient scenario with history, symptoms, lab results, etc....

  12. Volunteering Internationally

    kayji replied to Dyson's topic in General Students

    I don't have any specific organizations to suggest for you, but you might be able to see if your school offers anything. My school had an option to do international work that counted for population...

  13. HELP! ABSN in NYC

    kayji replied to dines's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing that is for sure is that if you don't apply you won't get in. You could try asking the admissions office, but they probably can't tell you for sure. If nursing is what you want to do,...

  14. Not getting interviews before NCLEX

    kayji replied to jelly34's topic in General Students

    I think it just depends on the situation where you are. Some places are willing to hire (conditionally) before graduation but others prefer to wait. If you are applying in the same city you are going...

  15. K Rider

    kayji replied to vikitorijah's topic in General Students

    I would recommend being very careful with your units when looking at this question. At the risk of stating of the obvious, mEq is not the same as mL. It might be the case that you have a solution with...

  16. Told to sign a contract

    kayji replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    Is their policy for failure and removal in your student handbook? If it is (and I imagine it is if this is something they want to do), I would think they are asking you to sign something more like a...

  17. First Semester of Nursing School

    kayji replied to LeauVixen's topic in General Students

    It's certainly not too early to start practicing NCLEX style questions. Just make sure you're focusing on the right content areas (like others have suggested from your fundamentals text book or other...

  18. NCLEX after 14 years?

    kayji replied to ejmoon7845's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ohio BON doesn't have a great reputation for replying to emails or answering phone calls... or issuing ATTs. For reference, I graduated in December, and they haven't acknowledged receiving my...

  19. Will having 9 withdraws prevent me from getting accepted into an accelerated nursing program?

    kayji replied to wuppy's topic in General Students

    Your best bet is probably to contact schools you might apply to and see what they say since different schools have different policies. To me, it sounds like you have overcome a lot and that shows...

  20. In 4th of nursing school, but don’t like nursing what should I do? (Kind of long sorry, please don’t be mean)

    kayji replied to marymv3's topic in General Students

    This is certainly a choice you can make, but it would be better to make it with all the info. By that, I mainly mean what would be required to switch now vs. later. Monday is coming pretty quick, but...

  21. In 4th of nursing school, but don’t like nursing what should I do? (Kind of long sorry, please don’t be mean)

    kayji replied to marymv3's topic in General Students

    Are you familiar with a concept called the sunken cost fallacy? It's the idea that people will keep doing something simply because they have invested time/effort/money into even though the end result...

  22. wondering if I should buy a new scientific calc

    kayji replied to LoutusCNA.VT1983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds like a waste of money. You don't need to the scientific functionality, graphing equations, finding intercepts, etc. I used the built in windows calculator for all the math to get through...

  23. Hospitals & Letter of Recommendation

    kayji replied to NICUnLDRN's topic in General Students

    Every place I've ever had to get recommendations for only wanted the contact information for my recommenders. What they actually want from the recommenders varies a lot. Some have a form with all...

  24. ABSN vs Traditional BSN

    kayji replied to NewPathForMe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is possible to transfer in to some traditional BSN programs, but it depends on the school. My school has both an ABSN and transfer option, they are basically the same in terms of classes. The ABSN...

  25. Emory D-ABSN 2021

    kayji replied to JLColton's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't have any insight to know if that would be likely to help at this point. I know they say they do rolling admissions, but I think it's done a lot more in chunks than they make it seem. If the...
