  1. nclex

    pogi replied to Javon's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why would you even suggest that for Javon???!? Javon, it depends on how ready you feel for the exam. From what you said, it sounds like you haven't done much preparation. I guess more info is...

  2. Nclex stopped at "ODD NO."

    pogi replied to SadNBlue's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is a myth. For example, a lot of people receive 75 questions (the minimum amount of questions) and MANY pass. Whether you receive an odd or even amount of questions is irrelevant to how well you...

  3. Am I doing enough to prepare?

    pogi posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi everyone, I guess I am in panic mode as my test date is nearing (2nd week of May). I am using Saunder's 4th edition and Prentice Hall along with their cds. Are the Kaplan Qbank and QTs necessary...

  4. Am I doing enough to prepare?

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

    Yes, it often contains a more detailed explanation than the review

  5. Am I doing enough to prepare?

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

    I have been studying for about 2 weeks, but I have not been consistent. Took a few days off here and there, but if I study it is usually for about 6-8 hours a day. As far as the questions, I read a...

  6. Am I doing enough to prepare?

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

    I know what you mean. I don't think I will ever feel "ready" because I am paranoid that I will get questions in my weak areas! Good luck and let me know how it goes. Btw, how long have you been...

  7. Just wondering

    pogi replied to bscn_rn_10_years's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I don't graduate from nursing until March, but I completed my first Med-Surg rotation at Southern Hills. The working environment seemed very friendly and helpful. Nurses pitched in to helps each...

  8. CSN vs. NSC, please help.

    pogi replied to RRborromeo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    For me, I am glad I have had a background in nursing theory as it serves as the body of knowledge that supports nursing practice. Theory, along with nursing research has given me a great background...

  9. Professional Nurse: BSN VS ADN... need help...

    pogi replied to weirdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't see in any way how this post intellectually contributes to this thread. If true professionalism is indeed based on behavior and not on the level of degree achieved, you have quite a long way...

  10. NSC or USN???

    pogi posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Any advice on which school to attend? The letter has not arrived yet, but I was informed that I have been accepted to NSC for Fall 2007 and I have a USN interview coming up. Any thoughts would be...

  11. NSC or USN???

    pogi replied to pogi's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I graduate in March 2009. So far, my education at USN has been great. My class will be the 3rd to graduate from the school, so yes, there have been some changes in the program along the way, but...

  12. CSN vs. NSC, please help.

    pogi replied to RRborromeo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    If you are planning on earning your BSN later on, it might be beneficial for you to go for it now. This way, if you plan to get your Masters in the future, you don't have to go back to school just to...

  13. Nevada State College

    pogi replied to NVhike's topic in Nevada Nursing

    lynzmaj is right. Many of my classmates are going back to work in their home states after graduation. When a school is not accredited, it restricts you from pursuing a graduate degree, not from...

  14. Nevada State College

    pogi replied to NVhike's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Good luck with everything, Dee! I read your pros and cons post and I have had similar experiences with my school, especially the ever-changing syllabus and structure. It is so frustrating having...

  15. Nevada State College

    pogi replied to NVhike's topic in Nevada Nursing

    USN is just now requiring the TEAS exam. They grant admission on a point system based on GPA, TEAS score, and interview. USN has clinicals at all of the hospitals (UMC, St.Roses, Valley, Spring...

  16. Nevada State College

    pogi replied to NVhike's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hey Dee, How much longer do you have to go? USN uses ATI also and I am not a fan. I heard from past graduates that the NCLEX is nothing like the tests we take. Go figure! It seems like a waste...

  17. Nevada State College

    pogi replied to NVhike's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I was accepted to NSC but decided to go to another school, so I am unable to comment on how their program is. There are a lot of old posts from other users who attend their program and from what I...

  18. Any colleges near Las Vegas with a waiting list?

    Hello everyone, A nursing program to consider is University of Southern Nevada. I am a student there now and am graduating in March 2009. It is a private university and is therefore more...

  20. no one will hire me in Las Vegas--what's the deal???

    pogi replied to travelcrazyRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I know you don't like med-surg, but I did a med-surg rotation at Southern Hills Hospital and was totally impressed with the staff and facility. Everyone was friendly and willing to help one another....

  22. nursing students how are you

    pogi replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Just about done with the 3rd block (fudamentals). I started in August 2007. It is a lot of studying because the passing grade is 90%. We have a big class (82), so it gets a little crazy, but so far...

    pogi posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hi everyone, I just finished the 1st block of Nursing school yesterday. Our 1st block was only 2 weeks long and it was a TON of work. We had at least 5 hours of reading each night and 3 group...

  24. anyone need a roommate?

    pogi replied to maralite's topic in Nevada Nursing

    USN does a roommate matching type of program. When you get your admissions packet there will be a form for you to fill out and submit. In the meantime you can give them a

    pogi replied to HikingNinja's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hey Dee, I'm in the same boat as you because I cannot locate my records. I called the health district and the guy assured me that we can get all of our immunizations from them, including the MMR....
