The test has about 10 computation questions and the rest are identification of meds. Human resources should have given you a review packet for the test.

Congrats! I work at Roosevelt in L&D since last September. The pharm test is fairly hard, but you get 2 chances if you don't pass the first time. Orientation is classroom for the first few weeks, and then is floor specific I think. I really l...

I really liked BI - I think there's the same drama in all nursing schools - I am finishing my BSN at NYU and they complain there about the same things we complained about when I was doing my clinicals. I really ended up liking it though, it was real...

I had a 4.0 in those classes. I turned them down and went to Beth Israel because I didn't like the lottery system they used for registering for morning vs. afternoon classes. I would have been class of December 2006. The semester I got in they took ...

Going to my clinicals at BI I went through Penn Station (coming from the Upper West) and I rode the 2/3 to 14th Street and then did the long transfer to the L and rode that over to 1st Ave (you come out right behind the hospital), if you are going to...

First of all, I think you need to sit down and take a breath before starting anything. The NCLEX is an importatant exam, but it is not as scary as it seems. Going in with confidence and calmness is half the battle, you need to be able to concentrate....

I am not a nervous tester either, but my stomach was in knots for the first time in a VERY long time the night before (this past Sunday) and when I went down to test. My advice, try and get some sleep, and get there early, don't let anyone rush you ...

Just wanted to throw it out there that I found a great little book at my Barnes and Noble, in case anyone is looking for something to prepare them for the new question types on the NCLEX - Lippincott's NCLEX-RN 250 New-Format Questions - is $20.95 B...

I used Sauders, Kaplan Strategies and a Lippencott alternate test questions books (see my other post about "great nclex book). I studied for about 2 weeks and used step 1 of "suzanne's study plan" found in the stickies in this forum. She says to take...

I said that I would come back and let everyone know if the book was good for the NCLEX, and I really think it was one of the best parts of my review! I had 6 select-all-that-apply questions out of 75 and there were lots of these in the review book. ...

LoL...I've been checking the NY State BON website all day to see if I *might* have a license number already...I'm not generally someone who gets too worked up and anxious about things, but I really don't like waiting for this! Can you imagine what t...

I completely agree, take the NCLEX ASAP after graduation, the longer you wait, the further it is from your mind- also you will be surprised with what you know that you think you don't! (for me it was the things that I knew best which were all of the ...

I passed at 75 :)with 6 select-all-that-applies and no calculations

I took the exam this afternoon too, and I completely agree with you. Mine shut off at 75 and I got 6 select all that applys (they were the only new style questions I got)...I'm taking that as a good sign, means that I was testing at a higher level (...

Good luck to everyone taking the test on 7/30 (including me!) - a few hours and it will all be over! We can do this, no worries!

I live in NYC and worked as a full time live in nanny (for a family with 3 boys) through nursing school. I had done several of my co-reqs the year before I entered my ADN program, but I still did 2 semesters with 15 credits. It can definitely be do...

I graduated from BI in June - you don't register for classes there....they don't enroll you for classes that you've already taken that they accept, but you are automatically placed in your nursing classes and the other classes you need. The only ti...

I am taking mine on Monday too (in NY)...from what I have been reading on all of the posts: at this point, you know the material, seems that the difference between passing and failing is the ability to relax and go into the test with a clear head. W...

I was just wondering how long it's taking for the Dept of Edu to process applications and how long after getting ATTs are they offering dates. I sent in my application last Monday, and they told me 5-6 weeks, and I know that Pearson Vue has to offer...

I went to Beth Israel - just graduated on Tuesday!

I just graduated from Beth Israel's Associate RN program in Manhattan and am starting NYU to finish my BSN this fall.
