  1. Topics needing MEMORIZATION

    boogeysmomRN replied to Michael'sprv8RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I memorized the infection control mnemonics and it helped me answer a ton of questions on the nclex without even stressing about it. So thanks to whomever made those

  2. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    boogeysmomRN replied to gwafuh_rn's topic in California Nursing

    RNs in the new grad program pay is $30/hr for ADNs and $32.71/hr for BSNs. Plus you get a bump in pay after you finish orientation/preceptorship. I don't know if ADNs get it too, but I'm assuming...

  3. Tips from new grads who got job offers

    boogeysmomRN replied to namiani's topic in California Nursing

    A good friend of mine put her picture on her resume and that was the only call she got back, and she starts her new grad program in March... something to think about.

  4. Tips for New Graduate Nurse Starting a job

    boogeysmomRN replied to debragail105's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for sharing all your tips!! I am going into my 5th day in the ER as a new grad and I feel almost as if I'm drowning, haha. Not really that bad, but I know there is a lot to learn still and...

  5. Tips from new grads who got job offers

    boogeysmomRN replied to namiani's topic in California Nursing

    I didn't have a overall 4.0, it was more in the 3.7s. I got the job where I precepted at during the last semester. Some of the other people who got hired were externs on the unit before or knew...

  6. Any new grads from University of Oklahoma: ABSN program?

    boogeysmomRN replied to nursing_hopeful's topic in California Nursing

    I graduated from the SD OU program in December. I felt that the education was good. My graduating class has all (that I'm aware of) passed the NCLEX so far. And a great deal of them with only 75?s....

  7. Sharp Grossmont/ Sharp Memorial Hospital

    boogeysmomRN replied to gwapo's topic in California Nursing

    I work for Sharp, but I'm a new grad, I'm not sure how much they pay experienced nurses, but from what I heard it wasn't "the best", but they treat their nurses really well. This is from nurses who...

  8. RN Grad looking for a RN opportunity in California

    boogeysmomRN replied to vinnyRN's topic in California Nursing

    Here is the 2009 one, that continues on to 2010.

  9. RN Grad looking for a RN opportunity in California

    boogeysmomRN replied to vinnyRN's topic in California Nursing

    From reading on these forums, it sounds like Nor Cal is pretty saturated. There are new grad programs all over, but the number of positions open appear to be far fewer than the number of those...

  10. How long it take to get the ATT in california

    boogeysmomRN replied to jabwemet's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    my ATT for the NCLEX-RN came about 20 days after our official transcripts were sent out to the

  11. QT 7 - When to take?

    boogeysmomRN replied to Yayamaya's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    wow those are great scores!! I only scored in the 50s on Qtrainers 1-5, and got a 62% on 6, and a 66% on 7. But I guess it was decent b/c I got 75 ?s, so evidently I learned something. :) Good...

  12. QT 7 - When to take?

    boogeysmomRN replied to Yayamaya's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did QT7 about 5 or 6 days before my exam. It takes a long time, plus going over it took just as much if not more time. I think it took a good 8 hours to do everything, that includes looking up...

  13. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    boogeysmomRN replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    LaLaws is right. Don't worry about it right now. You have plenty of time. Plus, someone on staff will help your cohort fill out all of the documents and tell you EXACTLY what needs to be turned in...

  14. Accelerated BSN in San Diego?

    boogeysmomRN replied to living_dreams's topic in California Nursing

    Its just become too much of a financial burden for OU to run it from OK. The director of the program out here used to work for SDSU, so it probably has a lot to do with them taking over, plus they...

  15. NCLEX--What did you study and for how long before the test?

    boogeysmomRN replied to iPhoneuser's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh I have to add, I didn't use the Kaplan book very much at all - I just did questions and read all the rationales - which sometimes weren't fabulous and that is when I referenced Saunders. I barely...

  16. NCLEX--What did you study and for how long before the test?

    boogeysmomRN replied to iPhoneuser's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took Kaplan about 1.5 months before my test date. I started hard core studying about 3 weeks before my test. I even changed the date to an earlier one b/c I finished studying and needed to get it...

  17. Taking boards in 2 days...scoring 59% on Kaplan reviews

    boogeysmomRN replied to nursein2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the previous poster. I never scored higher than a 66 on the Qtrainers - and the 66 finally came with the last one. The 6 before that were in the 50s. I passed with 75 questions. I think...

  18. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    boogeysmomRN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  21. Question about ATI, Saunders, and Kaplan...strange thing happening

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

    I felt the same way, I only scored in the Level 3 area for a few of those tests, most of them were at 1, but my predictor said I had a 97% chance of passing the NCLEX, took it on Wednesday, computer...

    boogeysmomRN replied to kt424's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    According to others, as soon as it says it was delivered successfully, it is OK to check then. Otherwise its pending at Pearson Vue to be sent to the Board. Good luck! I'm waiting too, got the good...

    Congratulations, I can't tell all of you what a relief it is to hear the success stories. Hopefully I'll be able to add my input on it working soon too! You're an RN!!

    boogeysmomRN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    wow, I guess I was misinformed. I thought waiting 3-4 business days was going to be torture, I couldn't imagine waiting longer. Sorry
