Actually, the rainbow color is a specialty stethoscope (the cost is a few dollars more) and is fairly new on the market (based on my understanding). I wouldn't think there would be a lot of nurses with this color, unless they recently ordered one. ...

I recently purchased a Littmann Classic II SE stethoscope (rainbow version/carribean blue) and I can hear very well with it. It is also much lighter than the Adscope 601 that I used during clinicals. For my recent purchase, I used Steeles.com -- co...

Pearson Vue will post results about 48 hours after you take the test. I'm not sure how this works in a state that does not provide quick results. I took my test on a Friday morning, and paid $7.95 to get the results at 9:10 a.m. on Sunday morning. ...

We were told during school that it is important to do 3,000 to 4,000 NCLEX questions and to be sure to understand the rationales.

You may want to take a look at Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment by Linda Lacharity. This was a resource that I used in June when I took NCLEX and it was very helpful. Good luck!

I passed by test last week (75 questions).:) The Pearson Vue trick works! Sources used: LaCharity's Prioritization/Delegation/Assignment book, Kaplan's NCLEX-RN book/CD (checked out from local library), and 3-week subscription to NCSBN web site. ...

Cherokee is a nice brand. Style 4200 has cargo pockets. I work with a store in my area that will order in a style and there is no charge if I don't like the fit. I ordered style 4200 today (petite) and it will be about 10 business days before my o...

I did not have enough time to check out USF before the fall semester but would like to consider them for the upcoming semester. Does anyone know how their system is set up to gain entrance into the nursing program? Is it based on overall GPA or grad...

Racing-Mom4 - have you heard anything about the GPA for most of the students getting into the ASN program at the Universityof St. Francis? Beginning this fall, GPA will be a major factor in determining whether a student is admitted to clinicals, and ...

My A&P I class covered bones in the skull and body; cat muscles; sheep and human eye; tissue identification (type of tissue; location, i.e., gallbladder; and purpose, i.e., secretion, filtration, etc.). Lots of memorization, but I've been told th...

Suggestion for immunization records: Depending upon your school district, your grade school or high school may have a copy of your immunizations.

I will be admitted to the nursing program this fall and would like your suggestions on the following: (1) Anatomy II this summer for six weeks, or, (2) Take the summer off and take my first clinical, Anatomy II, and Phamacology this fall. I don't kno...

I am taking only Anatomy I this spring. Once it is completed, I'll be ready to apply to the nursing program and then will anxiously await the decision to see if I get in the program for the fall. I may take Anatomy II this summer, depending upon the ...

I am working on my second degree at the University of St. Francis (completed a B.S. in Business several years ago). I had a few pre-reqs that I had to take and will apply to enter the ASN nursing program in the fall, 2009. It would be great if we wer...

I need to complete A&P I first - one of my conditions of being admitted to the program. Once that class is done, I will have fulfilled all of the requirements and will be ready for clinicals. I decided against A&P during the summer. It will b...

We were informed a week or two ago that there will be a waiting list for the fall clinicals, and so GPA will be the one of the main factors in determining who is accepted into the program. I don't know how many students are expected to be on the wai...

Thanks, Racing-Mom4. I went to USF's nursing orientation in December and immediately knew that this was the nursing school for me. I am taking a few pre-reqs this semester and will take ANP either in the summer or in the fall. Then, I should be abl...

I am in my late 40's. Although I have a degree in Business, I have decided to return to a private school for a nursing degree. I know Stafford loans are available, but the total cost will exceed the funds available, so it looks like private loans wil...

I don't know the difference in the "point system" for new vs. transfer students. I plan to attend part-time to complete a couple pre-req classes before being admitted to the nursing program on a full-time basis. Are you applying for pre-nursing or nu...
