    ArrowRN replied to tenjuna's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    tejuna, thanks for clarifying. I'm rather frank with communication and it may come of as harsh so no offence intended. I myself was stressing out on what review course to use. 95% of my class is doing...

    DESPERATE for help & advice!

    ArrowRN replied to hbanga's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The only mistake I'm seeing for the OP is too many major life events occurring during test time. Let things settle first of all before trying again. Any major life stuff put it on hold. Refocus before...

    ArrowRN replied to A. Boogie's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Kaplan or Hurst?

    ArrowRN replied to aodem1119's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SATA questions are content related and knowledge based. I don't care what Kaplan says about their true / false strategy. It's either you know it or you don't. However, if it were me I would not jump...

    Is it worth it? My tuition is high.

    ArrowRN replied to rsharif27's topic in General Students

    woe, I'd put that money aside for a DNP degree. My BSN was about 18 months non accelerated and I racked up about $20,000. Remember your $60,000 will have interest. Your pursuit depends on how much a...

    Probably too late for tips on your first day but planning for 8 or more patients is a pain. I made my own form so I could check off tasks I did and remember what I need to document. I also use a...

    Didn't pass the NCLEX RN due to anxiety

    ArrowRN replied to LSoMagical's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't have the Kaplan review, but from what I know about it, it shows a person when they change their answers with the purpose of discouraging people from that practice. This is something I learned...

    Any BSN students here?

    ArrowRN replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure about practical skills to be done in RN to BSN programs as again it would be redundant as most nursing skills were already taught which is why ADN's are suppose to already have their RN....

    Precepting question

    ArrowRN replied to nursinghopeful2013's topic in General Students

    I would go for it. Your preceptor should work you into a routine and eventually work you up to the required patient load. If they don't then just develop a systematic way yourself. He/She will always...
