  1. Faculty Access to Grades from Previous Classes?

    kgh31386 replied to DolceVita's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You contend that they don't know how you do in school previously...but gladly give up background checks, money, even your own blood for lab work,

  2. Best NCLEX review guides, figured I would ask folks who have passed!

    kgh31386 replied to StudentAmie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How much longer you got??? I wouldn't start worrying about it already. Worry about graduation and stuff first. Most people(and every IS different), only need 2-3 weeks to study and review. You should...

  3. Will take nclex in 6 wks time..any advice pls?

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

    Like she said...get a good foundation of it all. Don't rely on what people tell you to look at. Some may say focus heavily on pharm and you might only get 2 pharm questions. Some might say focus...

  4. Practice Test Scores Needed

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

  5. Tips on surviving through nursing school

    kgh31386 replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    My advice is just judge it based on YOUR own opinion. A lot of people make things sound way worse than they really are. Don't go into school thinking it's going to be the most impossible or difficult...

  6. Faculty Access to Grades from Previous Classes?

    kgh31386 replied to DolceVita's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not a teacher. But I know my teachers had access to mine when I was in school. I think it's ok for them to have it too...how you do in school is usually the school's business(teachers included)....

  7. Starting school, not sure if I should work, help

    kgh31386 replied to hopeful2386's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  8. Newbie-sorta, just took NCLEX, here's my take...long

    kgh31386 replied to ProudMomof2,now RN!'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Meds are crap shoot. You may have never heard of a certain medication, and I might know it by heart. And vice versa, I might not have heard of one that you know. So you can't really judge it when...

  9. Well, I got my syllabus today...

    kgh31386 replied to MzRN2B's topic in General Students

    Hah those are the typical syllabus. Mine were usually 60+ pages per class. But really a lot of it is fluff and stuff you won't care about. It's not that bad at

  10. What to read early?

    kgh31386 replied to reeta116's topic in General Students

    This was just me...but when I started school, and every semester thereafter, I never read early. Because a lot of times you will find out that reading for certain teachers might be no help and...

  12. Med focus???

    kgh31386 replied to o2BRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I honestly didn't touch pharm when I studied. I remembered a lot from school and had been an extern for the past year...so that helped I guess. But of my 75 questions...the drugs mentioned were all a...

  13. any passers out there????

    kgh31386 replied to Alisha B's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took it July 6th and passed in 75 questions, it took about an hour...and honestly it wasn't really bad at

  14. Can I graduate with a BSN with NO debt?

    kgh31386 replied to blessedw2&ahubby's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My school gave out scholarships each semester..but the thing is, our school never made it well known to people. I had to go around asking the dean, etc. about scholarship opportunities and grants....

  15. Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    kgh31386 replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    I'm just gonna sum up the post that I made, that somehow disappeared. A's are very practical...and you don't even have to study hours, days, and weeks for a test. Some people may have to re-write the...

  17. Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    kgh31386 replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

  18. I hate nursing..

    kgh31386 replied to flygirls2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure about all the people who say that nurses on their floor eat their young...but I work on a floor of a lot of older nurses, and new grads. Not to mention that when I work, I'm usually the...

  20. At what point do you say enough

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

    This is just me...but I would quit studying. If you aren't feeling it anymore, there's no point because it probably won't stick. I felt confident I knew what I knew. When I did Hurst, I was able to...

  21. NCLEX Med Q's. Take with meals or before or after? Easy way to know?

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

    Just think about what the drug is made to do, and whether food will interfere with its action. Also think of which ones might cause GI upset. For example, take NSAIDS(Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Aspirin,...

    kgh31386 replied to gburgess516's topic in General Students

  23. Has anyone actually failed with 75 with >10 SATA

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

    Yeah the number of select all that apply doesn't matter. A good number of my friends passed in 75 and only had 4 or 5 select all that apply. I had 19 and passed with 75. A few people failed with 10-15...

  24. Select ALl That Apply

    kgh31386 replied to MJB2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I dunno why, but I never really minded these. I would get most of them right in school...I think a big part of it is the mindset you have about them. I had 19 on my Nclex and they were all pretty...

  25. After all the complaining, PM's, posts, etc. It was my turn for the Nclex-RN today!

    kgh31386 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
