igiminor, i think doing the test plan may be a little tough. i think its easier to do a system a day along with relevant meds. but whatever you all decide is fine with me, i just dont know where to start

lol, i never said i was a single mother. anywho, my little one is quite demanding but i have the help of DH and our moms. I just keep her with me most of the time, instead of going to the library or something to study. thats all going to change thoug...

i understand how you feel! i am lucky enough to have a job in the PACU where weekends only on call. but i truly understand how you feel. i feel like a professional shouldnt have to work weekends, but this is part of our profession..... anywho, i hope...

good luck! i hope you have a smooth night!!

i hate to keep complaining, but i really need to vent. this is going to be kind of long, so bare with me please. i finished school 12/13, but have to wait until 1/23 before my application can go to the state. i had been offered a job months ago and ...

do you know if you are all cleared with your BON yet? maybe they are causing the hold up????

update..... i paid pearsonvue yesterday in hopes of a speedy ATT. MY school should finally be sending our info to the BON Wednesday or Thursday this week. I hope to recieve my ATT next week or the first week in Feb. As I understand it, as soon as BON...

Thanks for the response. it sucks that you have to wait too.

my advice is for you to relax and NOT be scared of the exam. you need to fulfill yourself with positive energy so that you can have postitive results. it seems as if you have prepared well for the exam. remember you are not going to ever know everyth...

u are awesome igiminor! thanks!!!

exactly, i tr not to stress too much about it. its just a test just like all the test in nursing school. i truly believe i am ready, and will just study for a few weeks to "put the icing on the cake"

i would ask about call schedule, holidays, and night rotation. also, ask about holding patients overnight, SICU borders, what kind of patients will be seen in the PACU, patient turnover time i could probably think of more, but i am a little sleepy at...

hi, i always think its great to have a plan. but, on the other hand i am not disciplined enough to stick to any kind of plan. i generally get bored fairly easy. anyway, i am taking Kaplans complete review. I had three weeks of class and have access t...

hi, i am taking Kaplan. Our school required us to take a reivew. i have access to Kaplan until April, but will take the NCLEX asap as long as my scores are consistenly above 65% on kaplans qbank and trainers. Best of luck to you, and please stick ar...

if i remember correctly, the kaplan syllabus reccommends doing the trainers before reviewing content. after taking the trainer, if you score below 65% you should review the exam and read all the rationales. if you score less tha 55%, the recommend yo...

hey guys! good luck to all who are testing soon. dancingdoula- i have frye's bullets too and i think its pretty good. i find myself taking the same kind of notes from my kaplan class. i wouldnt be so worried about not doing to well on the readiness t...

a little update. my class is almost over. the sessions havent been all that helpful. i find it almost annoying just doing questions all night and i dont like or use kaplan's decision tree. i am still not doing so hot with the qbank. my scores are sti...

thats a good question. i dont think we need to know how much calcium or whatever is in a particular food. rather, i think its more important to know which foods are the best source of the nutrient. i cant think of any examples right now.....

great add iminginor! I just learned about CPR and tpa in my kaplan class. I still forgot to mention it. you cant give Tpa to a cpr patient because CPR is considred traumatic! thanks for the post

i think the ATT comes from the testing agency, once you are cleared from your BON

eldragon- i am in the same boat as you.... graduated 12/13. but, our official grad date wasnt until 1/15 plus our school wont send out paperwork until after we finish a review course. i will finish my course on 1/22. does it help if you pay pearson ...
