  1. M.S. in Nursing Education @ Walden Univ.

    Obiwarz replied to LadyT618's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think I'm going to apply for the Oct. 29th start date. I'm about 75% sure right now! I just graduated in May from my BSN program and will be balancing my awesome, new job with the MSN-educator...

  2. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    Obiwarz replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    It does interest me to be a part of this category of service. Volunteering here would give me the experience in public health and education that I am looking for before grad school. I am leaning...

  3. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    Obiwarz replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the responses... I'm pretty pumped to see what is available. I will also call my local public health department to see what low-cost clinics are available.

  4. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    Obiwarz replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    I've been doing many searches, but haven't been successful. The ones I see are at some of surrounding large hospitals, but its more of a walk-in clinic type of deal that's not an ER and not with...

  5. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    Obiwarz replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the response. I am in the process of waiting to be contacted at the moment. I did not mean to confuse anyone wth my question. Times are changing and men working as an RN are just that,...

  6. Walden MSN Leadership Track --> PhD education?

    Obiwarz posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Anyone taking classes or know any more information regarding the Leadership & Management track at Walden U? I want to keep my options open for the future and was debating about doing L&M then...

  7. starting salaries

    Obiwarz replied to starlight13's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck on the test! Just wanted to comment that Abbott is a great place to work. Just started there :)

  8. Should I reschedule?

    Obiwarz replied to Abigail25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'd say don't even do the practice sessions! You are great to go, feel confident and take that test!

  9. Should I reschedule?

    Obiwarz replied to Abigail25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Awesome score! I'd say take the NCLEX if you get a 57% overall and at least 52% in every category!

  10. Should I reschedule?

    Obiwarz replied to Abigail25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the phenomenon of overstudying is real, and your score may suffer as a result. I honestly think that test 6 and test 7 are the greatest predictors of NCLEX success. I can't recommend enough...

  11. Should I reschedule?

    Obiwarz replied to Abigail25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am iffy on this decision. I was in the same boat, rescheduled for one week later, and felt much much MUCH more comfortable going into the test. I passed with 160 questions. My reason you may want to...

  12. Did you use Kaplan??

    Obiwarz replied to jillnurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For me, I thought it helped to read the entire book first, THEN do the review of content on my trouble sections. I figured out my trouble sections after doing test 1-5 and watching how my scores for...

  13. Did you use Kaplan??

    Obiwarz replied to jillnurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    HOLY CRAP EVERYONE! I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!! This was completely unexpected... I, like everyone on here, felt horrible after the test. What a relief!!! I tell you guys what, I did Kaplan and had...

  14. Question bank

    Obiwarz replied to zjh23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Get Q-bank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kaplan's questions are very very similar to NCLEX's. With Q-bank, you can set it up to focus on one of your eight problem areas if need be and specify the number of...

  15. Results: to look or not to look.....?

    Obiwarz replied to trulypampered's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know exactly how you feel! At least partly... I took Kaplan, was all prepared, at 75 questions I cringed hoping it would shut off, but NOPE... question 76... 100... 130... 150... then at 160 it...

  16. is there such thing as 15 experimental q's on nclex??

    Obiwarz replied to cvicu80's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wonder if all experimental questions happen before 75, since that is the minimum. I don't think they'd NOT give you 15 if you were at 75... and if for some reason you didn't reach 15, I think they...

  17. Did you use Kaplan??

    Obiwarz replied to jillnurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    THE NCLEX WAS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! I took 5 hours, was the last one in the room, and had 160 questions. NINE of them were select all that apply! Tons of priority, teaching... meds and diseases I've...

  18. Did you use Kaplan??

    Obiwarz replied to jillnurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am still holding onto the statistic that 89.1% of people who take it (from U.S) pass the test on the first try. I still don't feel completely ready as tomorrow is "judgment day" already.

  19. What % do you get on your practice tests?

    Obiwarz replied to kelci22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, I'm not doing so hot on my Q-bank and practice tests for Kaplan. I got a 56% on test 7 and average about 58%ish on my Q-bank tests. I'm taking my NCLEX TOMORROW so wish me luck.

  20. Did you use Kaplan??

    Obiwarz replied to jillnurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats!! Jill, you were one of those I was following with your posts, I am so happy to hear you passed! I am even more happy you say that the Kaplan questions are just like the NCLEX ones. I take...

  21. 89.1% Pass the NCLEX

    Obiwarz posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Statistics for January - March of this year (2007) have been released on the NCSBN page. https://www.ncsbn.org/Table_of_Pass_Rates_2007.pdf 26,923 U.S educated eligibles (diploma, BSN, associates,...

  22. Best BSN RN College/University Program

    Obiwarz replied to treesap7h's topic in General Nursing

    Dee hit it on the money when she said the nurse makes the nurse, not the school. I graduated from Winona State University this May. I thought it was an excellent experience there. Their program is...

  23. It's over!!

    Obiwarz replied to jillnurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When you guys say teaching... can you give an example what you mean?

  24. More Online Practice Questions?

    Obiwarz posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Anyone know of a place that's either free or really cheap (like $10 or less) that has some more NCLEX-style questions? I have done all of my Kaplan question trainers and I am getting a lot of repeat...

  25. 89.1% Pass the NCLEX

    Obiwarz replied to Obiwarz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That must be a myth. The NCLEX exam is a national test, not determined by state. More information at their site: https://www.ncsbn.org/1200.htm
