I agree with mancha, I did take the Kaplan NCLEX review course and found the instructor to be extremely knowledgable. I learned alot !! The book Kaplan supplies and the Qbank questions kept me on track as far as studying goes . I would definately recommend it . Of course each person learns differently. I took the NCLEX exam last month and had 75 questions on the NCLEX and passed the first time which I am very thankful for. Stay the course and you will do fine ! Best of luck !

I do go to school in GB and my first semseter clinical instructor was wonderful, patient and took the time to explain things to an extent, I mean there were things to do so we couldnt sit there for an hour and chat but ,overall excellent. When my clinical was over I did tell her how much I appreciated her skills and feedback whether it was positive or negative. I needed the critique part for me to learn and grow as an RN. What completely baffles me about the horror stories I have heard is the simple fact that as an instructor wouldnt you want the best students and give the best instruction you possibly can?Within reason anyway. Instead of teaching students to fear you or loathe you as an instructor ? When I train anyone for a job or a role I do my best job to make sure that person understands what I am explaining because essentially that trainer or instructor is reflected in the outcome as well .

Thank you , those are all very helpful .I would like to know if anyone has any information about reconstructive or plastic surgery nursing ? The types of reconstruction after an accident, cancer , burn, birth defect issues? I havent been able to find much information on this subject. Thanks !!!

I am taking Microbiology and Spanish this fall . I just completed my Advanced Anatomy in summer, WHEW! I will beginning the program in January. I am sooo looking forward to moving forward !! Good luck to all !

I am 35 ,married with a 6yr old and a 4 yr old. I have a marketing degree and realized I dont want to be behind a desk anymore doing work that I found unrewarding. Im glad I am going back to school with the maturity and looking forward to the road ahead. I will be graduating in May 09 ! Good luck to all ! *KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE *

Im taking .... Microbiology Nursing skills refresher course and CPR refresher course. Good Luck to all for Fall !!!

I would suggest Anatomy then Physiology to get a better all around understanding of how the systems work. Good Luck you will do great !

what is the hurry, will you lose your place in school? I would not advise taking 3 sciences in 1 semester. I dont want to sound discouraging but, I doubt your school would allow you to cram that much in anyway. Take your time to learn and absorb it, you will be a better nurse for taking your time to learn. Trust me , its not worth cramming 10 lbs of crap into a 2 lb bag. Good luck !

God NO ! 26 is not too old , are you kidding!!!!??? I am going back at 34 , married for 10 years and 2 children later ! I do regret not going to nursing the first time I went to college and got a Marketing degree instead.(live and learn) But this time around I have a ton more life experiences and maturity to bring with me this time! Go for it!
