Thanks for the great advice so far (on my other thread). Does anyone know where I can find books cheaper than the campus bookstore? They are outrageous, and it looks like if I buy from them I'll be spendning close to $1000 this semester! I'll use com...

I always dilute with 10cc ns and push very slowly.

Presbyterian is a very good nursing school (I graduated from the program in Dec). CMC is also very good, and would be cheaper as they offer the tuition incentive program. Presby doesn't offer that anymore as they merged with Queens. CPCC is also an ...

I got 3, a friend of mine got 5, another got 8, and another got 10. We all passed.

I don't understand why you can't just get a new driver's license made, reflecting the same name that is on your ATT. Sounds like a lot less trouble to me.

I would call, but if it does pose a problem, go get a new license made.

You really can't compare Kaplan to Saunders, imo. Kaplan is different than any other book in that it teaches you HOW to answer the questions. I found Saunders to be awesome for the content review, but Kaplan was invaluable in teaching me to read and ...

I got A's and B's and passed on the first try with 75 questions. My advice? Do tons of questions. If you have no clue about the answer, look it up and learn the answer right then. If it's something you should know and have an idea about, try to figu...

I had Kaplan, Lipincott, Saunders, and NCLEX 101: How to pass. I also ordered Mosby's online CAT. I really liked Kaplan and Saunders the best. That said, I think the best strategy is to have a multitude of books b/c every author has a different style...

I've always wondered about the little details about this day, so I am going to share it with you all in case anyone is interested. I got there early, about 8:15 for my 9am appt. I walked into the testing center and it was so nice, but much smaller t...

Why did you get into med surg nursing? What do you like about it? What do you dislike?

I graduated December 3rd. I am now studying like crazy, and waiting for my ATT. I swear, I think I've checked the BON site about 20 times since yesterday! :chuckle

I just graduated from a 2 year diploma program. We had 9 hour day clinicals 2x a week for the entire 2 years (except in fundamentals during the 1st semester -- that was just 1x a week). I feel very clinically prepared. :chuckle Maybe a diploma prog...

I am going to be taking nclex in about 2 months an dI was wondering, are you allowed scratch paper to calculate math questions? I am very visual, and using the calculator on the computer only works for me if I can first set my problem up on paper. Do...

All staff with direct patient contact will get flu shots. People with limited contact (admitting, env health) will not.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks, 3rdshiftguy. I am preparing for my interview now -- wish me luck. I am so nervous!

Thank you for that, meownsmile. I appreciate your comments. :)

I am applying for a med surg position tomorrow. I hope I find a warmer reception there than here! :chuckle

Is anyone out there? :chuckle

I hated it too! The instructors were freaks. I've had many a nurse say that to work in psych nursing, you've got to be a little nuts yourself, lol.

I am a 3rd semester student at Presbyterian Hospital School of nursing. I'll get my associates, but when I begin working as an RN I'll get my BSN at Queens University. I have hesitant goals of getting my Nurse Practitioner at UNCC after working a cou...
