  1. Kaplan question bank. is it worth it?

    amzyRN replied to glen coco's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The q bank helped the most for me....passed with 75 q's. I didn't buy the class. My average scores were like 65%, I started to get 68-70% a week before the exam and I felt ready to test. When I took...

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

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

    I just found out I passed. I think it works!

  3. Kaplan Qbank-QT vs. The real NCLEX-RN

    amzyRN replied to naipeee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did the Q-bank, just took NCLEX RN yesterday and the format was very similar. I don't know for sure if I passed yet, but if I did, I think the Q-bank (not the class) provides a lot of practice, and...

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

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

    I took my exam today at 8am, checked at 12pm and 1:30pm and got the good pop up. Does it work this soon? I'll let keep you posted...

  5. Moving to Nevada

    amzyRN replied to Iris34's topic in Nevada Nursing

    You apply for licensure by endorsement on the Nevada Board of Nursing website, follow instructions from the website. That's what you do in any state you want to get a license in, apply for licensure...

  6. Chabot ADN vs Samuel Merritt ABSN

    amzyRN replied to iluvmusak's topic in California Nursing

    I thought there was no guarantee of employment. I am unfamiliar with the exact agreement thought b/c I wasn't a Kaiser scholar. I'm hope that the Kaiser scholars get employment or don't have to pay...

  7. Chabot ADN vs Samuel Merritt ABSN

    amzyRN replied to iluvmusak's topic in California Nursing

    Go cheaper, b/c you might not be working right away. Job market not too good in bay area for new grads. If you go to SMC and need to take out money, you might be paying it back before you've got a...

  8. bad Samuel Merritt College experience?

    amzyRN posted a topic in California Nursing

    Just wondering if any one out there has had a primarily negative experience with SMC, specifically in the ABSN program (I'm at one of the extension campuses). I feel very disappointed with my...

  9. Why would people choose to go to a NURSE PRACTITIONER as opposed to a physician?

    amzyRN replied to MedicalDreams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why would someone rather be an NP than physician? Probably beat this one to pulp, but here goes: 1. doesn't take as long and still have overlapping duties/responsibilities, of course within ones scope...

  10. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think the benefit of "allowing" persons with a 4 year doctoral degree use the title "doctor" is that it is fair. Patients aren't that stupid. It's like correcting someones use of the English...

  11. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    amzyRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As I'm doing my senior preceptorship, I am unable to figure out how skills like starting and hanging IVs, monitoring patient care, and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off aid in NP...

  12. help! i think i hate nursing!

    amzyRN replied to bloomscoot's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Along the lines of the topic, I am beginning to feel the same way, that maybe I've made a mistake going into nursing versus another field. But, I'm still in nursing school, so maybe that's why. I'm...

  13. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm hoping that the DNP thing never happens which is a possibility, if it does, it should include more fundamental science courses. I'd really enjoy a science component equivalent to graduate level...

  14. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    amzyRN replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks above for asking those questions. I would also like to know about that, because I am considering going to PA school after a couple years experience as an RN. I've got a science background and...

  15. Consider going for MD?

    amzyRN replied to leahvonleah's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have considered going to med school because of the rigorous science aspect of the training. I like the depth that med school takes biological science. I find that helpful in my understanding of how...

  16. Why would people choose to go to a NURSE PRACTITIONER as opposed to a physician?

    amzyRN replied to MedicalDreams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Someone should correct the thread to say "why would someone become a nurse practitioner versus a physician." The language here is insidious here by implying that nurses can't be "doctor". So maybe...

  17. Why would people choose to go to a NURSE PRACTITIONER as opposed to a physician?

    amzyRN replied to MedicalDreams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interesting thread as I've just been thinking more and more about this topic. I am now in my senior RN-preceptorship and I'm really starting to doubt my interest in nursing, as a regular RN anyway. I...

  18. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    amzyRN replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the confusion here is that the MD is not the only one who diagnoses and treat diseases, hence it's not only the practice of medicine. Other professionals can do that. It's the lens that's...

  19. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    amzyRN replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very good debate. Good for you Tammy to stand up for the nursing

  20. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    amzyRN replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very very interesting and informative discussion. Thanks everyone for your input. I'm almost done with a 2nd degree BSN, and as I predicted would be the case, am very interested in the medical aspect...

  21. Samuel Merritt ABSN & job outlook

    amzyRN replied to yukitiki's topic in General Nursing

    I'm almost graduating and am slightly concerned about job prospects, but think that eventually opportunities will arise. Having a second degree may help, not entirely sure though. Maybe someone else...

  22. question?

    amzyRN posted a topic in Emergency

    I've recently got my preceptorship, which is on a telemetry unit at a large teaching hospital. During my critical care rotation, I never got a chance to see the ER. What I've heard about it really...

  23. question?

    amzyRN replied to amzyRN's topic in Emergency

    So you think skills acquired on a tele floor, like medsurgish stuff won't be applicable to ER? Thanks much,

  24. Samuel Merritt ABSN Intensity Questions

    amzyRN replied to scoobysnax's topic in California Nursing

    I'd go to the cheaper school especially since the economy isn't doing so well. I'm kind a worried about getting a job after school in the bay area, since it seems to be pretty saturated. Or have I...

  25. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Take a look at some stats I found, not so recent but enough to make my point. http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/12912.html Though there has been increasing numbers of physicians recently,...
