  1. Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

    rmfrier posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Has anyone experienced their classmates whom you thought were your close friends mad at you because you passed HESI and NCLEX, and they haven't passed HESI after 2nd time? I am just flabbergasted....

  2. Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

    rmfrier replied to rmfrier's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Iwilldothis: IF the tables were turned: I would be sad and upset, but I certainly wouldn't take it out on my friends. Friends are there to be supportive, not to up one another. It sounds like you...

  3. Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

    rmfrier replied to rmfrier's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didn't say "EVEN" in "they didn't pass the HESI the second time." When you quote it that way, it does look bad. I was just giving background information as to why I think they are so mad. Why would...

  4. Texas Children's in Houston?

    rmfrier replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in Texas Nursing

    I do know if you take the NCLEX in TEXAS you get your result pretty quick. I got mine in a day. I don't know how Washington works. Starting pay within the Houston City limits is anywhere from 22-25...

  5. Cyfair College Fall 2007

    rmfrier replied to jtruong85's topic in Texas Nursing

    We did peds for 8 weeks and then switched to OB for 8 weeks. Psych will only be for 6-8 weeks and that will mean two clinical days when Psych starts. Peds was at TExas Childrens, which is where I...

    rmfrier replied to rmfrier's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is so bizaar. I had a friend that was taking KAplan with them and I asked her to tell them I was trying to call them to check on them. I just wanted to see if everything was okay since I hadn't...

  7. Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

    rmfrier replied to rmfrier's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, I had one finally reply to me via email and she said our ideas of friendship differ and that I thought I was better than them. Never once did I ever think or act that way. I did live my life...

  8. Do I need more questions?

    rmfrier replied to Deb123j's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have three kids and what I did, was get on my laptop at night when I would go to bed and do at least 100 NCLEX questions for 4 weeks without fail. If I thought I wouldn't be able to do it one...

  9. Saunders 4th edition???

    rmfrier replied to Yira's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think Saunders is a bad study tool as it does help you learn content, but the difficulty level isn't there like Kaplan. I stayed with Kaplan the whole time and did very little SAunders after...

  12. Cyfair College Fall 2007

    rmfrier replied to jtruong85's topic in Texas Nursing

    Peds and OB aren't hard, but it is more time management with those classes as far as the workload. Med/Surg 2 is probably your hardes semester I would say. Med/Surg 3 is difficult as well though,...

  13. Saunders 4th edition???

    rmfrier replied to Yira's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I personally thought Saunders was a little easier than NCLEX. I found that KAPLAN questions resembled NCLEX, but with more difficulty. This is just my opinion. I passed first time. Good

    rmfrier replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  21. How do you know you have studied enough for nclex?

    rmfrier replied to urnurse072b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did about 3000 NCLEX questions and did the KAPLAN review. I took the NCLEX the week after KAPLAN and passed. I would say doing the questions is the best. I didn't study material, just questions....

    rmfrier posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Anyone out there stop at or around this number and pass? I know it is so hard to predict who will pass and won't, but it sure feels better to know that someone passed with that number. I felt okay...

  25. Who attends Cy-Fair College?

    rmfrier replied to Veronica82's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am a CyFair college nursing student and I agree that no other schools should be bashed in any way. All schools have their difficulties and the bottom line is that you pass your boards. If you pass...
