We crush all narcotics also.

I am in my last few days, started last August and graduate August 6th!! It has been rough but rewarding! With 3 kids at home it took a lot but I managed to maintain A's and B's. We started with 67 and I am proud to say that I am 1 of 30 who will b...

Honestly, I feel I am a better student BECAUSE of my kids(compared to what I would have done before them)! I want this so I can give them a better future. My kids are what drives me to be the best student that I can be, if it weren't for them I pro...

I failed my pulse validation today. So yeah, I'm feeling like a bit of a moron right now. I practiced all day yesterday on DH and got consistent results each time. Today at school I practiced with a few classmates at the same time and our numbers...

I started in August too, and we did vitals 3rd from last, leaving NG tube and foley. We start clinicals Nov 3rd. Monday is revalidation day for anyone who failed any skill on first attempt. We can't go to clinicals until we pass all skills.

Good luck to you too! I feel the same, I just want to get it done!

It was at rest, we had been sitting in class and they would call one by one. We walked about 20 feet from class to lab and he was the "patient" first. I figured it was anxiety or something causing it to be that high. What got me was that they didn'...

I can't wait until clinicals start I can't wait to be done and actually be a nurse and not a nurse student (I love school though!)

We haven't made it to clinical yet but I had to validate this skill in lab today. I'm anxious to be able to work on real people! Congrats to you!

I feel the same way! I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I just feel like I "get it" when my classmates are struggling and spending hours and hours studying. I honestly feel like nursing is what I'm supposed to be doing and that maybe that's why ...

I liked this thread from another member here who gave tips and ideas that they use. https://allnurses.com/forums/f50/how-i-take-test-get-337651.html

No waiting list here, I'm at a CC and you either get in or you don't. http://www.sheltonstate.edu

We have had a skill validation each week since school started. We have already validated NG tubes, VS, occupied bed making, bed bathing, sterile dressing change, sterile gloving, and catheters are Monday, which is our final skill. I have passed eve...

The study guide to this book has a lot of typos too, and I do believe my instructor is pulling test questions from the test bank as well.

I use my fundamentals book the most and even then still not very often except to practice the nclex questions at the end of each chapter. My assessment book and pharmacology book have been used very little.

We had to do occupied bedmaking and bed bath check off on the same day and we were given only 30 minutes to complete both, with one restart if you realized you had done something wrong. Needless to say, there were quite a few who failed this skill. ...

We use this book and have found many errors that we pointed out to our instructor. She said she would be calling the company to let them know. We have to do the online evolve module lessons that correspond with the chapters in the book and we have ...

I bought a set of scrubs from Dollar General to wear for skills lab (I'm still a student) and I really was impressed with how they fit. I have a hard time (ex. Large will be to small and XL will be too big) but these fit me really good. I just wish...

I'm first semester and our clinicals start in about a month! I'm looking forward to it!

White, head to toe.

I started August 18th and I have had 3 tests, 1 each in Pharm., Assess., and Fund., and well as a quiz in Fundamentals. I've had 5 skill validations (check-offs) so far with BP, Pulse, Respirations, and temp being this week. That will leave me with o...

90-100 A 80-89 B 75-79 C 74-Below Failing We can have a 75 or above in everything but Pharmacology and it requires an 85.

They are the same for LPN and RN at my school as well.

We used pre-dissected cats, and sheep brains. Our instructor dissected them and brought them in each lab.

Whatever you do, DON'T QUIT!!! It sounds like they are nit picking with you...don't let them win. Best of luck, and I hope things get better for you because you earned your spot there and it sounds like you deserve it!
