  1. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

    laneymaree replied to Loux's topic in Nursing Career

    I have to disagree with this poster. I don't think nursing is a waste of time or money. I wanted to be an ER doctor from age 4 until being a junior in high school. Then, I started volunteering and...

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

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

    Took the beast that is NCLEX yesterday. Got the good pop up so now I'm just waiting. Waiting might just be worse than the NCLEX itself.

  3. What questions are more similar to the ones on the NCLEX?

    laneymaree replied to dienne's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan Q Bank and NCSBN are most similar. NCLEX 4000 was nothing close to it at all compared to the

  4. Who has used ATI for NCLEX prep?

    laneymaree replied to Maghunter's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ATI was okay. My school used ATI too. My predictor score was a 65% and that meant I had an 85% of passing on the first try. I took it yesterday and finished in 75 questions. So I won't find out for...

  5. NCLEX-RN exam

    laneymaree replied to akujieme's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had Hurst online review, Kaplan Q Bank, and NCSBN. I took NCLEX yesterday and am still waiting for my results, but I have the good pop up! But everyone in my class who has gone has said that the...

  6. RN salaries in North Carolina?

    laneymaree replied to Murse_1's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Duke has lower pay, but better benefits in my opinion. Way better benefits. And it is a pay cut in NC from a lot of other states, but you have to take into account the cost of living. NJ makes like...

  7. PICU or Ortho to start?

    laneymaree replied to none the wiser's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked in PICU for 3 years, as an HUC, and as a summer internship where we were treated like new grads in a PICU for a Level 1 Trauma Center, so here's what I can say about it. You have two...

  8. Watts School of Nursing?

    laneymaree replied to candi323's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It's okay, at least you found out now so you didnt study everything else until december! After you submit everything, it's about 3 weeks until you find out if you passed the test. Then you submit the...

  9. Watts School of Nursing?

    laneymaree replied to candi323's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Well, I never took any of the other tests so I don't know how they compare. But, just know that the test isn't meant to be finished. You won't have time to. Just answer as many as you can as...

  10. List of hospitals that hire new grads in picu

    laneymaree replied to chickidee717's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Hey! PICU at UNC Children's Hospitals hires new grads, but most of them have worked in the unit as an NA or HUC. Not all, but most. Good

  11. Anyone starting Watts School of Nursing in Jan '09

    laneymaree replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    soontobenursenicky- everything is totally do-able. Classes are Tues. and Thurs. nights from 6-10pm. Each class is for 5-7 weeks and then rolls over. The pre-test isn't too hard. You do need to have a...

  12. Anyone starting Watts School of Nursing in Jan '09

    laneymaree replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yep. I went in with no pre-reqs. You get them all done in the semester before the actual nursing begins. And even if you have english, math, etc., you still have to take a set number of hours through...

  13. I'm not really a nurse until I sign "RN" after my name

    laneymaree replied to NewNurseAlert's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with squirtle. It isn't about just who you know. Sometimes, perhaps, but I don't think it's fair to make that generalization. I know I want to work PICU when I'm done. I'm in nursing school...

  14. Watts School of Nursing?

    laneymaree replied to candi323's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Great to hear!! Hope it's going well!! I would just recommend really getting your A&P down. Even if you're going fast or dont need to know too much in class, learn it on your own. You'll need it...

  15. Calling any Watts School of Nursing Students!!!

    laneymaree replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    As a current Watts student, I can safely say that you need to take it before December to get in the January classes. Since fall has already started you should probably take it by Halloween to be safe...

    laneymaree replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    For Reesee- there isn't a set supply list. You just need a couple of notebook, a binder or two (whatever organization method that works best for you) and pens/pencils. It's very standard! rnrgrl- it...

    laneymaree replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    As far as Financial Aid goes, just fill out your FAFSA on cfnc.org and the Financial aid counselor will tell you what you need to do. She is WONDERFUL and helped me pay for my first year with no...

  18. Anyone starting Watts School of Nursing in Jan '09

    laneymaree replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hmm, I would say to DEFINITELY learn your anatomy. The teacher from mt. olive wasn't good and i didn't learn anything. Now I'm playing catch-up. Do the reading. Once you get to nursing, you can't...

  19. Calling any Watts School of Nursing Students!!!

    laneymaree replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    For your pre-reqs they are 2 nights a week from 6-10. For your nursing classes, you start off doing 5 days a week because you'll have a theory and history class. After the first few weeks, you drop...

  20. Watts School of Nursing?

    laneymaree replied to candi323's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Rnrgrl, You need your BLS certification by your orientation of the 1st Nursing class semester. It has to be a healthcare provider one however. I would also recommend waiting until the month before and...
