    Sure it's been asked before, but how do you answer when you have NO clue?

    NoviceRN10 replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, some of the questions were things I just didn't know (like particular meds or a manifestation of a disease). So I guessed. That isn't to say I should have actually known the answers. I'm sure...

    NCLEX 3/2/10 w/ average Kaplan scores ...

    NoviceRN10 replied to Heather424's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You will do fine! I took it last week and didn't think it was as tricky as Kaplan. It was very content based, in my opinion. I also opted for an afternoon time slot. I would have preferred late...

    Sure it's been asked before, but how do you answer when you have NO clue?

    NoviceRN10 replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had meds that had no clue in the question, or the possible answers for that matter. I just stopped fretting and picked one, because none of them really related to Maslows or anything else. I had...

    Anatomy and Physiology at MCC (macomb community college)

    NoviceRN10 replied to honeybumps's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You can use older texts for A&P, I did it with the 5th edition when the instructor had the 6th edition. I don't even remember reading the book much, you usually just use class/lecture notes to...

    Best NCLEX RN review? Considering Harder to pass

    NoviceRN10 replied to CRIMSON's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think that you need more than a month to get the content back in your head. I learned a lot of content by doing the practice questions. I don't feel that the Kaplan questions were much like...

    Best NCLEX RN review? Considering Harder to pass

    NoviceRN10 replied to CRIMSON's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the NCLEX yesterday and my advice would be to really know content, so I think Saunders is a good tool. I didn't do a Kaplan course, but I did use the Kaplan question bank (I also paid $50...

    NoviceRN10 replied to Mzam2012's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I only invested in the Davis drug guide, not the whole skyscape package. It would have been nice to have the Tabers dictionary ever so often, but I got by without it. I downloaded the free Epocrates...

    how long does it take to receive your ATT?

    NoviceRN10 replied to sans33's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your school should have told you how to register for the exam! In my state you have to apply directly to Pearsonvue (create an account online is easiest), submit fingerprints to the state, apply to...

    COMPASS test terror!

    NoviceRN10 replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I did the COMPASS assessment at Macomb and ended up with only 11% in math. I had done no prep whatsoever and couldn't have told you what an integer was if you paid me! Thankfully it didn't matter as...

    New grads over 30, are you having trouble getting interviews?

    NoviceRN10 replied to freeflowchi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Plenty of middle-aged students in my class have gotten job offers, so I don't think age has anything to do with it. I don't consider myself old, either, and I am the same age as you. If I were 55+...

    Can school hold off graduation?

    NoviceRN10 replied to cameronmpear's topic in First Year After Licensure

    my school also advises its students to send all paperwork into the state and to send the nclex fee to pearsonvue before graduation. it allows you to "get in line" to set a test (nclex)

    Do you use a nursing bag?

    NoviceRN10 replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students
