  1. How does this study plan sound?

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

    Since all of the online reviews cost hundreds to get...which review BOOK has questions similar to the NCLEX as far as format and difficulty. Everyone says something different, so it's hard to get

  2. question about pt rooming assignments

    kgh31386 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm reading up on infection control, and I'm just wondering really..I have yet to take the NCLEX, what can they possibly ask 30-40 times about infection control?? I was reading that pts in droplet...

  3. question about pt rooming assignments

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

    that's what I'm wondering though, how do I determine who can be with whom if they give me a list of 6 people all with something different and nasty

  4. How does this study plan sound?

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

    Oh I have a while, another semester of school. I just wanted to slowly review and stuff, not really hardcore study just yet. this is the correct book right...

  5. question about pt rooming assignments

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

    How do you determine who can room together? I still thought only people with the same disorder(TB), can room together. Or can you mix certain pts with different

  6. What is the one thing you wish you were told before starting nursing school

    kgh31386 replied to CyberVulpine's topic in General Students

  7. How does everyone study for their ATI tests?

    kgh31386 posted a topic in General Students

    In my school, we take the ATI each semester(pharm, foundations, med/surg, OB, Peds, Psych)...I do really well in lecture. However, on ATI I do very very poorly. I got below Level I in Pharm, Med/surg,...

  8. I have a few questions about the NCLEX

    kgh31386 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    1. Do the ATI tests really correlate to NCLEX passing rates? I do really well in theory, and poorly on the ATI. But others who are struggling in theory and lecture admit that they guess and do...

  9. Holding insulin for NPO & surgery

    kgh31386 replied to MrsRNn2009's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I asked a couple of nurses and they said to hold the insulin before the surgery since the pt is NPO...this site also mentions halfing the dose before 930..

  10. Assessment - seriously what are you supposed to do?

    kgh31386 replied to SparkleRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    that program doesn't sound like the best as everyone said. One of our CPE's 2nd semester was to hang a piggyback and start IV's. That's a problem that seems to be common...students not being prepared...

  11. Is it unprofessional for instructors to do this?

    kgh31386 posted a topic in General Students

    There's a certain instructor who's younger than the rest, in her 20's. She is personal friends with some of her students, always commenting on their facebook or myspace, going out with them or what...

  12. ATI really a good NCLEX predictor?

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

    My opinion of the ATI is not a good one. We take one for each class, each semester. We get the % and it will tell us our level we earned(Below level 1 to a level 3). Here's how it breaks down for me....

  13. Is it unprofessional for instructors to do this?

    kgh31386 replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

  14. Is it unprofessional for instructors to do this?

    kgh31386 replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

    It gets better, another student of hers had a disagreement with her one day. The instructor said," You will not pass my clinical now". She failed her due to misspellings on her careplan, and not...

  15. most difficult part of nursing school?

    kgh31386 replied to bmr7's topic in General Students

    I agree, look at the good parts. You should get a good feeling by sitting back and realizing you have a skill and knowledge about something. Plus when a patient says something nice to you, always...

  16. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    kgh31386 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    And a lot of times they don't help people. I don't know about you, but I can't study off of someone else's study guide...I'm not a study guide person at all. I like to just skim over stuff and make...

  17. Scared... insight needed.

    kgh31386 replied to EC18's topic in General Students

    With a lot of people, if it doesn't bother you on TV...it won't bother you in person. But the only way to find out is to go see it up

  18. F in math course, quit nursing altogether

    kgh31386 replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    I would retake the Math course, then transfer to another school. That way when you retake it and pass, you are in good academic standing and can easily transfer to another

  19. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    kgh31386 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I once told someone the hardest part of nursing school was having to listen to all the drama and hearing people brag about how they forget everything because,"they won't have to do that as a nurse."...

  20. most difficult part of nursing school?

    kgh31386 replied to bmr7's topic in General Students

    Oh nonono I didn't think you were implying that all. It's completely understandable, I do the same thing. Nursing school shouldn't ever be your WHOLE life. But there's a difference between doing...

  21. I LOVE NIGHT SHIFT!!!

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

    I'm an extern working at night and I love it a WHOLE lot more than days. People I talk to don't understand the joy of nights either, you're busy...but you're busy without 30 ppl taking your charts and...

  24. Students that cheat

    kgh31386 replied to NewNurseAlert's topic in General Students

  25. OB Rotation is Hell

    kgh31386 replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just wanted to put in my opinion on OB rotation. I thought it would be weird at first, but I realized a woman in labor doesn't care who's doing what, she just wants an epidural or the baby...
