  2. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    kgh31386 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  3. sterile technique question

    kgh31386 replied to 1fabulon's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Of the 3 choices and how they're worded...I'd say 3. But like I said, in the real world and in clinical you'll see that 95% of the wound care you do(ulcers, skin tears, incisions, surgical site from...

  4. sterile technique question

    kgh31386 replied to 1fabulon's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Jolie does have a good point, you can't touch your IV stuff to the bed and all that. Also, with surgical wounds...it really depends on the orders you have whether or not it's to be sterile. I'm a...

  5. Some thoughts on the NCLEX

    kgh31386 replied to sully75's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I kinda have to disagree on the "you have to feel like you're failing and not know stuff to be doing well". And the whole "hardest Kaplan questions" thing. Kaplan was just like any other practice...

    kgh31386 replied to surfingnurse12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. Is Pharm really that bad?

    kgh31386 replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    Pharms as hard as you let it be. It really wasn't bad. My first semester of school we had..."Pharm, Foundations, Patho, Health Assessment, Skills lab, Clinical, and a dosage class." And really it's...

  9. Negative Reviews

    kgh31386 replied to 4pancakes's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You'll get mixed reviews about every product out there. There's never going to be 100% satisfaction. But my opinion...I didn't like ATI

  10. Who's taken the teas v?

    kgh31386 replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I wonder how the TEAS blew up into what it is now. When I took it 2 years ago at the beginning of school...I thought it was just an 8th grade level test and got in the 90's. I think a lot of my class...

  12. Priming and spiking?

    kgh31386 replied to RNashley86's topic in General Students

  13. What is so bad about STATS?

    kgh31386 replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

    You'll find that there are a LOTTTTTTTTT of things that get hyped up. I took stats in highschool and as a pre-req and it was one of the easiest things both times. Don't let people tell you what's hard...

  14. Not studying for NCLEX?

    kgh31386 replied to Sl1011's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I only studied the Hurst book they gave us. And honestly during the Hurst review, I knew 95% of what they told us from school. The only other thing I did was practice questions from Hurst and the...

  15. Well, No Nursing for Me

    kgh31386 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you made a wise choice not doing nursing. And writing up for calling by the first name? Sounds like Cousin MD has some issues. And who cares if you can start an IV and put a Foley in?...

    kgh31386 replied to bewitched's topic in General Students

  18. Teas V - feedback appreciated

    kgh31386 replied to RN2Be77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Faculty Access to Grades from Previous Classes?

    kgh31386 replied to DolceVita's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No I'm not mixing it up. A lot of the faculty serve on the administration boards and other committees. In fact, both our dean and associate dean teach classes. Other teachers serve on the admission...

    kgh31386 replied to DolceVita's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
