  1. Ive got a study plan...and it does NOT include failing!

    bekindtokittens replied to mkkew's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just had to respond because the title of your post made me laugh! I wish I had some great secret to tell you that will help you pass, but I don't. I studied the way everyone on here advised --...

  2. Does anyone go to a school where the TEAS/Hesi isn't required?

    bekindtokittens replied to ranidays's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We took the NET test as part of the process to get in, but it's easy. We used ATI throughout school to measure our knowledge, but it was never a determining factor in whether you passed a class or...

  3. Sick of NURSES who say they HATE NURSING!! Another Vent

    bekindtokittens replied to SDA3694's topic in General Nursing

    Another new grad here, and I know it's frustrating to want a job that others seem to hate. I'm trying to look at it differently. I bet these nurses who complain would love to see us hired. They...

  4. VENT--no call after my interview.

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

    I sent out a thank you note to the hiring manager that day. I spoke with her several times over the phone and email before this interview, so I knew her name and information. When I walked into the...

  5. Any Military Spouse nursing students out there?

    bekindtokittens replied to kgorndt's topic in General Students

    I don't think there's any way to tell if you'll get back in. I mean, at my school, most of the students who need to retake a semester get right in, but I don't know any transfer students here. But...

  6. June 2009 NCLEX Support Group

    bekindtokittens replied to kristin1213's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed! I got a lot of infection control and priority, just like everyone else is saying. I also got quite a bit of medication questions. I came home and tried the PearsonVue trick about an hour...

  7. Does anyone ever really feel ready to take the NCLEX?

    bekindtokittens replied to PA_CoffeeFreak's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did 200-400 practice questions a day, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks. I still didn't feel fully confident that I would pass the NCLEX. However, I couldn't have studied any more than I had! There was...

  8. What Did Your A&P Classes Cover? Please Read/Reply!

    bekindtokittens replied to DiamondShortay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I as a summer class as well, and this looks almost like my class' syllabus. Except that your chapters 3 and 4 were covered instead in Biology, which was a pre-req to get into A&P...

  9. June 2009 NCLEX Support Group

    bekindtokittens replied to kristin1213's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, fellow June test takers. I'm taking the test today and the butterflies are starting. I've been so calm about it until last night. It finally seems real! You can bet your butt I'm coming right...

  10. Question about the uterus.

    bekindtokittens posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So, I'm preparing for the NCLEX-RN. I'm doing practice questions from the Saunders CD and today I'm running through OB/maternity. I get this question, in a nutshell... What is your initial action...

  11. Question about the uterus.

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

    Thank you all for your responses. I understand the question a lot better

  12. I blew my first interview!!!!!

    bekindtokittens replied to BRYTTANI18's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This website helped me prepare for going on nursing job interviews.

  13. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    bekindtokittens replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I went to Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado Springs, so I really can't tell you much about Beth-El students. We ran into them during our clinicals and they seemed to be prepared just as well...

  14. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    bekindtokittens replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Congratulations on getting a spot! Maybe if they have some people drop out of the Fall 09 class, you'll get their spot! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I got my ATT number today and I...

  15. Skecher, run small or large?

    bekindtokittens replied to Scooter321's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Glad I could help! I hope they work out for you. And Amazon does seem to be the better deal. I like to order from them

  16. Skecher, run small or large?

    bekindtokittens replied to Scooter321's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've found that Skechers run a bit small, so if I were you, I'd go for the 8. Also, I recommend zappos.com for shoes. They always have free shipping and free returns. And any time I've ordered from...

  17. Vent: Embarrassed during change of shift.

    bekindtokittens replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    I hope we get an update on what

  18. allheart.com customer service?

    bekindtokittens replied to KateRN1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had an item back ordered with allheart.com. I sent several emails trying to change the item to something in stock, but was ignored, even though this was listed as an option in my receipt. It would...

  19. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    bekindtokittens replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yes, if you get into an RN-BSN program like Beth-El, and it's nationally accredited (Beth-El is), then you are a graduate of a nationally accredited program. At least, that's what an instructor told...

  20. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    bekindtokittens replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thanks for the congrats! Now I just need to get in gear and study for the NCLEX. As for PPCC getting organized...I guess anything is possible! My only gripe was that they would wait until we...

  21. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    bekindtokittens replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Oh yes, they are very disorganized, and their mantra to us students is "be flexible". Other than that, I do feel like I got a good education and I liked almost all my instructors. My only gripe is...

  22. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    bekindtokittens replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    As a recent PPCC graduate, I just wanted to wish you luck

  23. judgemental nurses/students

    bekindtokittens replied to k_r_ah's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a favorite quote of mine, from a cartoon no less. "Society is never gonna make any progress until we all learn to pretend to like each

  24. horrendously long post... read if you dare (and if you have time?)

    bekindtokittens replied to jaysmom's topic in General Students

    What an interesting thread! OP, I hope you continue to update us on what happens. I do agree that this boyfriend sounds like bad news. After many failed relationships, I decided I'd be single...

  25. Grades- do instructors round up?

    bekindtokittens replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    In my nursing program there is no rounding. 76.99% = FAIL This is clearly outlined in our nursing program handbook and in each class' syllabus. There have been people who have complained, but the...
