  1. Is it easier for the new graduate nurses with bachelor to find jobs>

    shoegalRN replied to beachbutterfly's topic in General Nursing

    In my area, it is true, the ADN programs have more clinical hours than my BSN did. Why? Maybe because they didnt spend alot of time in theory, power points, and presentations like my BSN program...

  2. For those who are studying for and who have already taken NCLEX

    shoegalRN replied to brem86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, I had an ABG interpetation on my NCLEX. But it wasnt just giving me the ABG values and asking to interpet them. It was a whole nother type of question with the ABG values listed as the...

  3. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    shoegalRN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was originally scheduled to take my test at 2pm, but got there at noon and they let me test early. And I passed with 75 questions. Maybe you can arrive early and test if there is an open seat...

  4. How soon before graduation did you apply for new grad positions?

    shoegalRN replied to edogs334's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would start applying 6 months before graduation. I graduated in May 2009, and I started applying in February and that wasnt soon enough. I just got job offered for an ICU New Grad Residency Program...

  5. For those who are studying for and who have already taken NCLEX

    shoegalRN replied to brem86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didnt study a ton of content when I prepared for NCLEX. The only thing I memorized was lab values and drug classifications. I prepared with Kaplan and Saunders. I used Kaplan mostly. I only...

  6. Operating or ER Nursing job experiences

    shoegalRN replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I did my Capstone in the OR and I figured out real quick that I didnt want to specialize in that area of nursing right out of nursing school. The OR is very specialized and although I am a routine...

  7. Have you kept your nursing books once finished with school?

    shoegalRN replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    As soon as I learned I officially passed NCLEX, I rushed to the bookstore at my school and sold every last one of them for as much as I could possibly get for them, which was a whooping $87. Then I...

  8. Quick Results

    shoegalRN replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's 48 hours after your SCHEDULED test time, not when you took it or ended it. I took my test 2 hours early from my scheduled test time and had to wait 48 hours after the scheduled test time to get...

  14. NCLEX test mixed up with someone elses test?

    shoegalRN replied to wickedfx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    May I ask what type of questions did you get? It is my understanding if you get "knowledge based" questions, you are not doing so well. I was also informed that if you felt it was "easy", it is very...

  15. i need RN advice PLEASE..

    shoegalRN replied to RNindmaking's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed NCLEX with 75 questions and there were a few questions on the test I had not a clue about. What I did FIRST was write down ALL my lab values on that erasable sheet. And there was alot of...

    shoegalRN replied to lilygrl2468's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  18. I am tachycardiac!!!

    shoegalRN replied to cookiencreme's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am Baptist and I went to church the morning of the test and had the pastor lay hands on me and pray for me. In fact, I had pretty much most of the congregation praying for me. I went straight to...

  19. kaplan can be depressing

    shoegalRN replied to jerzie0820's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I actually found Kaplan to be harder than NCLEX. I will say I averaged about 57% overall on the Qbank and my Qbank test (50 items each, timed and unused content) ranged from 34%-74%. I constantly...

  20. NCLEX TEST TAKERS: Just a quick question.

    shoegalRN replied to KEYMONNEE's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I checked for my results ALONE! I came home right after taking it and got the pop up screen. And then 2 days later, I got the quick results that I passed! That's when I updated my status on...

  21. Can someone please explain KAPLAN to me?

    shoegalRN replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    And I would like to add that I found Kaplan to be HARDER than NCLEX. It's a reason why this course review is really expensive. It's worth EVERY

  22. Can someone please explain KAPLAN to me?

    shoegalRN replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A Kaplan rep came to our school and offered both options. I opted for the actual class and I had to put down a deposit to save my spot. A month before the class starts, you get access online to the...

  23. I am tachycardiac!!!

    shoegalRN replied to cookiencreme's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know how you feel. I felt that way right up to the time I sat down to take the test. I just had to pray that God relaxed me and guide me to select the right answers when I didnt have a clue. And I...

  24. just took the NCLEX!!!

    shoegalRN replied to melisgood's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The trick is pretty accurate. I took NCLEX, got 75 questions, came home about 4 hours later, tried to access my account and got the pop up screen to contact my state board. Exactly 48 hours later I...

  25. NCLEX!!!! Omg I just took it and it was horrendous!!!!!

    shoegalRN replied to LoveActually's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I studied the drugs by the classifications. I used a little handbook called Mosby's Pharmacoogy Memory Notecards since I'm a visual learner. For example, I know antibotics should be taken with lots...
