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

   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 processing documents that they receive - there doesn't see...

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

   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 prereqs for the nursing program already? If you'...

3. Can You Help Me Calculate This

   kayji replied to KizzieKae's topic in Pre-Nursing

   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 place. To calculate your GPA you need your grade an...

4. ATI CAT Exams

   kayji replied to Sunflower117's topic in NCLEX

   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 would have some variation in percentile, and 26th is ...

5. Emory D-ABSN 2021

   kayji replied to JLColton's topic in Online 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- (<70%) constitutes a course failure." "Clini...

6. Emory University Nursing / D-ABSN Spring 2022

   kayji replied to emorynursingstudent's topic in Online 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 have to actively make time for your personal life an...

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 will need for the NCLEX. It's a shame that his progr...

8. NCLEX questions

   kayji replied to Sunflower117's topic in NCLEX

   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, MI), but some took multiple months (SC, OH).

9. IV Push Med Question

   kayji replied to Sunflower117'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 articles, you could try researching with your school's li...

10. ATI critical thinking test

    kayji replied to NurseDD27's topic in TEAS

    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 true: Alice is taller than Daniel Charlie...

11. Next Gen NCLEX

    kayji replied to babynurse29's topic in NCLEX

    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. There are similarly formatted practice questions in ...

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 health clinical hours. Since you have the Summer off...

13. HELP! ABSN in NYC

    kayji replied to dines's topic in Pre-Nursing

    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, don't give up before you've applied! You may need t...

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 to school, your teachers or nurses at clinical sho...

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 a concentration of 1 mEq/mL, but that isn't alway...
