Hi I'm starting the uop online bsn program on October 23th. I was hoping anyone might have any tips for me as to how to prepare for it. I have never taken any online courses before and I have no idea as to what to expect. Does anyone have a syllabus that I can possible see from a previous class just to get an Idea of what to expect? I'm also looking for a study buddy if anyone out there is interested? Good luck everyone!! Blanca

Hi everyone! I just found out this morning that I passed my NCLEX exam.!!! WOW! what a great feeling! I finally have my life back! My test stopped at 113 q's- really thought I didnt make it!! worse feeling ever! but now it's over! I will be donating my whites along with all my study material to a lucky 2nd year student!!!! Thanx for all the support and for all the great information everyone has posted on this site! U guys are awesome!!! God bless! Blanca

I actually did Kaplan and If I dont pass, I will do sauders. The test is totally content based. I dont think I even used the Kaplan tree technique to answer my questions. Well hopefully I will pass! I will keep you gilrs posted- should find out by next Thursday. Have a good weekend! :loveya:

Hi everyone, I just got home from taking my nclex exam for the first time. I do not feel good about it at all. I feel as if I guessed on half the test. I got a total of 113 q's about 19 Answer all that apply, 1 dopamine calculation , priority and infection control galore. Is it normal to feel this way? Scared but hopeful, Blanca

yes I will be attending my theory classes on Thursdays and clinicals are every other weekend both Sat & Sun 12 hr shifts. Not bad for working mothers =) I was just hoping someone would give me some info on the instructors there

Thanx for the info, Yes the weekend program sounds good and it will work better for me because I have 3 little ones under the age of 4. ( I had all my kids at queen of the valley as well) =) childcare can get very expensive especially with one income. Well I have the whole summer to decide what I want to do but i'm leaning towards mount sac. Thanx again and goodluck.

Hi, just wondering if anyone attends the Mt San Antonio nursing program. They're starting a weekend program this fall 06 and I'm thinking of transfering from Rio Hondo college.

Would appreaciate some info in regards to the teaching staff, hospitals they use for clinicals etc. Thanx

Hi, i'm a nurisng student and p/t real estate agent. Dont worry about any bubble bursting anytime soon. The demand very much surpasses the supply . It's still a good time to buy believe it or not. Property values are still increasing every month, not as drastic as the last couple of years but it's still going up and people are still buying!
