I took 2 of them before NCLEX. They seemed pretty good, I got 81 of 125 on both of them. Passed NCLEX at 75 afterwards. Hurst was very good for me.

Exact same scenario, but I was paid $14+$2 for nights. Worked until I had my ATT, then started precepting as a GN. Last week became a RN, and I was the only new grad hired. It helps to get your foot in the door and is huge for getting a job post grad...

You are never going to feel 100% ready to take the NCLEX. Study until you feel comfortable with the basic material and then schedule your test date. Other than the money wasted retaking the test, I would much rather take it 3 times in 4 months than s...

Hurst review is great for refreshing content. I would do it, online as you have access for 3 months. Watch the videos multiple times, commit the information to memory. Learn the test taking strategies she teaches. It's pretty much the major informati...

i graduated may 10th and received my att on may 18th. i've heard that it is important to not take too much time after graduation to test, so i scheduled for june 1st at 1pm. (i don't do well in the morning.) i did the hurst online review over the las...

Florida must be running behind. Still no results from Florida's test result web link and no license showing on the BON. So I bit the bullet and paid the $7.95 today for quick results because I couldn't take not knowing for sure. I passed at 75!

Florida must be running behind. I took the test on Wed, June 2nd at 1pm. Still no results from Florida's test result web link and no license showing on the BON. But Pearson Vue trick said I passed Wed night, so I bit the bullet and paid the $7.95 tod...

I thought I would know today, but no such luck. I better find out one way or another by tomorrow, waiting over the weekend would be quite annoying. Congrats Laz!

I'm in the same boat. I graduated May 10th, and I'm taking it June 2nd. Some of the people in my class are waiting until late June, July, and some in August. I think that's just crazy.

I use the Littman Cardiology III. I wanted a traditional bell and diaphram. It came in handy during peds rotation. However, a lot of the nurses on my floor use really craptastic scopes. Earlier this week, we had a patient return from surgery with a N...

My director at my hospital said the same thing in my tech interview last year. I've heard it from a lot of people in the hospitals as well.

I had no idea. I'm graduating in a week and she was the first person I planned on messaging. There are very few people that have touched, helped, and comforted me in the way she did. To do it on a message board with no face to face contact made it ev...

told ya so =) congratulations!

This is the main reason I took a nurse extern job at the hospital I want to work at when I graduate in May 2010. It's going to suck working full time while doing the last two semesters, but I do not want to be looking for a job post graduation becau...

They're called titers. If you have bloodwork drawn, they can check to see if you are already immune.

For those of you looking for CPR. It is offered at PBCC, do a class search for EMO0123. It is offered 7/16, 7/30, and 8/4. At PBCC it's only $28.00.

It depends on the person. If you can stay on task and learn on your own, with their powerpoints and notes, then go for it. Most of the test material comes directly from their lectures instead of reading the book. I read the book only to supplement th...

You register for a specific teacher, but the lectures are in the big room with all the same semester students together.

Mystical0217, second was much harder for most of us than first. Talking to other students ahead of me, they thought so too. There is so much to cover, so I'd look over anatomy if you have any weak spots. It's the entire body systems in second. If fir...

ok folks. i am a 3rd semester rn student at pbcc's day program. this time last year i was in your shoes, so i can speak with some perspective. these are the things i wish i knew last year. i am going to write you a novel so bear with me: the pbcc nur...

Go Gators!

Had to take it so that I can start working as a RN intern at my hospital (Starting the last year.) I had feeding, change of position to left side, and measure urinary output.

Did a year of prereqs for my ADN program two months past 29. Graduate a month shy of 32. Should end up taking me thirty-four months start to finish.

Going to CC and getting my ADN with the summers off and taking University classes for my RN-BSN over the summer will end up being quicker than going to University and getting a BSN by about a year. I can work that year, which is the main reason I did...

Try being one of the high senority contractors for FEMA and this being your first semester of nursing school. I've turned down about 7 deployments already and told them I was only available for local work. They call 4-5 times a week, and I keep sayi...
