1. Dia knowledge of the patho helped you to pass the NCLEX?

   3gheel replied to beachbutterfly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Our school used Judy Miller videos from time to time and I loved them. She has a way of explaining the patho so that the s/s of a disease process make total sense. I used a lot of what I learned...

3. Which reason is it that people say meds on the NCLEX are foreign to them?

   3gheel replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I also had heard that there would be drugs I had never heard of, but I actually had heard of most everything I encountered on NCLEX. Maybe even knew what the drug did for the most part. I really...

4. How long for boards?

   3gheel replied to SoClose!'s topic in First Year After Licensure

   I think I took about an hour and a half or so from going into the building to going back to my car. I test quickly, but I made myself slow down. I took the tutorial because I was nervous and needed...

   3gheel replied to ibme's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I was hired on a telemetry floor at a large teaching hospital. I'm looking forward to starting in August, but I'm also a bit nervous/excited. I don't have an actual shift yet - it was just listed as...

   I don't have cable or satellite at my home, but my father has it at his house. I stayed up until 2 AM the last time I was over there watching medical shows! I could not stop watching because it made...

7. Silly question--what to wear for class

   3gheel replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

   At my school, we may have all tried a bit harder the first few days, during orientation and all. But in the end, we were mainly in sweats or worse for most lecture and lab classes (unless for some...

8. Correlation Between High GPA & NCLEX Pass Rate/Nursing Care?

   3gheel replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Students

   In general, those with good grades in my nursing school also tended to do well on NCLEX. I'm sure there were exceptions, but most with higher GPAs tended to pass. Most of those people also came into...

9. which is the best NCLEX-RN book to study with during the nursing program.

   3gheel replied to kgorndt's topic in General Students

   During school it's hard to beat Saunders. In fact, before my second year med surg tests I would sometimes do all of the online questions for whatever specialty we were studying. Helped me very much...

10. why they say the REAL NCLEX is not what they expected

    3gheel replied to bodz01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe the drugs were listed with trade and generic names anytime a drug was used in a question. Questions and answers seemed much more straightforward on NCLEX than on Kaplan - more like you...

11. KAPLAN SCORES!!

    3gheel replied to ~Grad-2009~'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree that Kaplan, while very helpful, is also just a bit harder than the actual NCLEX. The Kaplan questions are more complex, while NCLEX seemed to me to have thoughtful, but more straightforward...

13. Going to RN program at age 40--crazy?

    3gheel replied to Teapot12345's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 42 and will be 43 when I graduate. I was in my late 30's when I thought about nursing school and began taking classes necessary for admission. My feeling was that I had another 25 to 30 years...
