I applied last year for the GN positions. I was interviewed and got the word that I got the job a week before graduation. I know from my graduating class there were 8 hired for various positions. Keep at submittig applications and call to HR also ...

I work at JPS and can say anything bad about the training I have received there. As a new nurse I felt that they trained me and did not just throw me to the wolves. I love my coworkers and the relationships between the Dr.s and nurses. In my opini...

I am graduating nursing school tomorrow and have landed a GN OB Triage. I am beyond excited :yeah:about having been given this positon as my dream job is L & D. I will be working at our local county hospital so I will be seeing just about every...

Yes scrubs are only to clinical. Regular clothes to the other classes. Most nursing school students do have a roller bag of some sort at least for the first semester when you have so much to carry and work with. After the first 2 semesters the loa...

They did mail me the book. But to be honest with you I did not even really use the book except for following the study plan and writing down my scores and I looked at a couple of drugs I did not know. They will also e-mail you chapters of the book th...

I took the Kaplan Classroom anywhere and it was awesome. I really enjoyed it and questions were always answered. The teachers are professional and my teacher always gave helpful hints. I loved it and found it was very effective. I took NCLEX and ...

All lab fees and testing fees are included in the individual class cost when you register. I think they are about $20 or so and only paid a couple of times. Skills had it and I think in Complex you will pay a small fee.

Baylor SW was my foundations clinical site and my employer for a year. Great small hospital with many great nurses. I was a nurse tech there for a year and loved every minute of it. There are 2 TCC grads there and everyone is very helpful. Enjoy....

PVT works. Found out this morning that I passed!!!!! I am now and RN!!

I took my test yesterday at 8 am. Screen shut off at 75 questions and I got the good pop up. I used Kaplan and my highest qtrainer was 62 and my average on the qbanks was low 60%. I think if you read every rationale right and wrong and not really ...

The dreamer did you get the patch in the mail?

Yes that is true. There are 15 pilot questions on every NCLEX exam. You never know which ones they are. I too had a feeling that many of the SATA questions were pilot ones

I really did not focus on the scores. I read rationales on every question right or wrong. I never watched the videos. Your scores look great. I will pray for you.

Thanks mz. I used Kapaln. I did all the Qtrainers and got Diagnostic -58 T1 -63 T2-45 (lots of distractions while taking that test) T3-56 T4-59 T5-61 T6-64 T7-59 Readiness - 61 I did all the qbank questions for a cumulative 60%. Lowest score bein...

First off nursing school is difficult but doable. Your first semester is the hardest. You are learning care plans, skills, critical style thinking questions. There are papers to write, chapters to read and yes there is lots of reading. For those ...

I took the NCLEX today. Computer shut off at 75 questions. 10 SATA, 1 dosage calcuation and 3 place in correct order questions. Did the PVT and got the good pop up. Lots of infection control, meds and who do you see first. only 1 question with l...

Took the NCLEX-RN this morning at 8. Computer shut off after 75 questions which is what I prayed for and 1 hour after the exam I got the good pop-up. Now to wait for my official results. Good luck to everyone who is testing soon.

Congrats to everyone. The e-books came 2 semesters after I started nursing school but have not heard one complaint from the people who purchased the package. Excited to hear how everyone likes the new campus. I have to say I am a bit jealous but g...

Congrats!!!!!!! :)

I can across a TCC patch that I had left over. I am willing to put it in the mail for the first person to PM me. Good luck to everyone.

Thanks for all the information and well wishes. I too was quite surprised to get OB triage but my ultimate goal is L&D so I was greatful. I know that I have alot of learning to do but am very earger!:)

I am testing June 17th at 0800. Nervous and excited. Doing Kaplan and hoping that in the next 3 weeks I will feel more confident and ready. Good luck to everyone.

I was offered my dream job at the local county hospital 5 days before graduation. I currently work as a Nurse Tech at a different hospital where I could only get 1 interview out of 10. Their loss. I take my boards June 17th and start my new job Ju...

I got my ATT today. My test date will be June 17th. I will finish Kaplan next week and one to TONS of ?'s. I am nervous but ready to get it over with.

I am glad to hear that Kaplan gets good reviews. I hope I like the online classroom setting versus the in class session but with work and kids online worked better. Good luck to everyone.
