1. RN nclex review????

   kettstunurse replied to SynRN's topic in NCLEX

   I graduated from KCMA in April. I took the Mark Klimek class and was very impressed. It fills you with a sense of "I can do this." My NCLEX gave me very few questions that I could use his techniques with. Now I might be wrong and I just didn't ap...

2. May Nclex takers...come and join hands...

   kettstunurse replied to JAX_GRL's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for your input. I was by no means suggesting that 75 is an automatic pass. It's what I have been told by many nurses. I too know of at least one person who took 75 and failed. The NCLEX is a test that's hard. There's no two ways about it....

3. May Nclex takers...come and join hands...

   kettstunurse replied to JAX_GRL's topic in NCLEX

   I felt the same way. I was in disbelief when I saw I had passed. The only problem now is what to do? I still have this nagging feeling I should be studying. I got a new magazine in the mail today and thought "wow, I can read this without feeling ...

   kettstunurse replied to JAX_GRL's topic in NCLEX

   I took my NCLEX on the 28th of May. I got 75 questions and after 2 agonizing days I found out I passed. I got on the Ohio Board of Nursing web site and found out they had assigned my RN number. Hang it there folks. It will all work out in the en...

7. April 2008 NCLEX test takers, COME ON IN!

   kettstunurse replied to MMARN's topic in NCLEX

   In my final semester we had to turn in 150 NCLEX questions per week. They had to be in one lump. We were not allowed to break them up so we got used to taking long stretches of questions.

   kettstunurse replied to MMARN's topic in NCLEX

   I'm from Dayton, Oh and I am graduating on Saturday, the 26th. I took Mark Klimek's review and he advised us that if the pH and bicarb are the same it metabolic if opposite respiratory. Same thing I guess.

9. Which program? RN or BSN?

   kettstunurse replied to LittleLynn85's topic in General Nursing

   I thought I would do the ADN thing first. That will get me in the workplace faster and I will begin to reap some of the benefits of my education. There are a lot of RN to BSN programs out there and I will take advantage of one of those soon after I...

10. Hey guys....How do you all support yourselves?

    kettstunurse replied to Brian 77's topic in Male Students

    My wife is a Pharmacist and she's paying the bills. I worked while she went to school and it's payback time.

11. what's a good stethoscope for nursing school?

    kettstunurse replied to jnmoore02's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I have used the cheapo $20.00 'scopes and trust me, you get what you pay for. I currently own a Littman Cardio III and it was well worth the $180.00 I spent. You can hear breath sounds through the chest of a 500 pounder a lot better with it than th...

12. Having hard time with Pre-Reqs

    kettstunurse replied to WannaBeMaleRN's topic in Male Students

    Your course should have a syllabus. Use it to read ahead. Read small chunks of material then reread them again later. You will be surprised at how much you remember. Flash cards are good too. I'm 45 and graduate in April with my ADN. I have had...

13. Question guys...what field of nursing are you going into?

    kettstunurse replied to kgh31386's topic in Male Students

    I am doing my preceptorship in a coronary care unit. CCU, ICU, PACU all have appeal to me.

14. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    kettstunurse replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Students

    My class of 65 had 5 men. All straight. Three are now gay. HEHE. Just kidding. I have yet to meet any male nurse that is gay. I work as an aide in Labor and Delivery and I am straight as an arrow. No one says anything about gay nurses where I...

15. Should I take a CNA class?

    kettstunurse replied to JeannieS's topic in General Nursing

    My school requires all student's to be STNA's prior to starting nursing classes. It's helpful to be an aide first so you have some idea of what they go through as well as how to do patient care. 89 days to graduation. Yea me!
