    emtb2rn replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "I suspect it has just come down the pipe. The Director of Nursing in our program was informing our class just last week. There has been movement afoot for years about the issue." So, your director...

    Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    emtb2rn replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nope, ND does not require a BSN to practice. The ND BON lists both bachelors and associates programs as approved to practice in the state. I cannot find anything about a mandatory BSN in Washington...

    Internet not a reliable source of Information

    emtb2rn replied to Lorodz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not sure I understand what you mean? Are you using this site to find reference texts or are you implying that you are accessing the books from the site? Not sure where your subject thought came from....

    NJ Board of Nursing etc

    emtb2rn replied to gudiarani's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Depends on when your school sends in your letter of completion. The BON is fast once they get the letter. Really fast. I graduated on June 11 (Wednesday) and got my ATT on June 16

    What do you do while waiting for nclex results

    emtb2rn replied to lilme's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I found second guessing myself chewed up a lot of time. I babbled too. Oh yeah, I went camping with my wife and a big group of friends. That really helped. Was with the group when I got my...

    question for past nclex takers

    emtb2rn replied to lnzjean's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Agree with above posters that those questions aren't NCLEXy at all. More like the type of topic specific question you'd see during

    Random Fact Throwing: Obscure Diseases/Facts Edition :)

    emtb2rn replied to GatorRN08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    While this stuff is definitely interesting, you're right about the NCLEX being horses not zebras. I found the test to be big picture stuff, not down in the weeds. While it's important to be...

    Just took the NCLEX!!!!!

    emtb2rn replied to MsNursingStudent's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My impression from my NCLEX experience, this board and talking to classmates and instructors is that SATAs are the "deep end" of the question pool. So, the more you see, the better you're doing. May...

    NCLEX study tips

    emtb2rn replied to weronika's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did the same thing as CT Pixie, only I used the Davis NCLEX-RN Success program to reinforce what I learned in class. You'll be surprised what you remember from school. Also, the NCLEX isn't really...

    anyone only use Kaplan to study for NCLEX?

    emtb2rn replied to doglvr's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Can't answer your 1st question b/c I'm not taking the NCLEX for another 3 weeks. However, I have noticed the Kaplan QB does ask what seem to be repeat questions, but they're not. While the...

    emtb2rn replied to jaylynn67's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sure it's been done more than once, but I don't think it's a good strategy. The only book I've cracked open so far is the Kaplan review text (the blue one). Went through that once and have since...
