  1. So Many Students! Will Shortage Now End?

    jewel100 replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Students

    The nursing shortage rages on. What you are seeing are new graduates not being hired because of the amount of money that it takes to train them, and the money used for that purpose is being slashed...

  2. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    jewel100 replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey-I agree with your decision not to change the date because you are probably ready to get in there and get it over with. When I was getting ready for the exam ( I took it in October 2008), every...

  3. Is LPN/RN bridge ok to apply to MSN programs?

    jewel100 replied to AllisonLP's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I think you'll be surprised that what the MSN program is looking for is a good student with solid grades and a strong portfolio in regard to mission statements, interviews, references etc. I...

  4. Statistics Prerequisite Relevance?

    jewel100 replied to longbow.shelly's topic in General Students

    Hi, I took statistics as a pre-req too. I did find it useful, but if you got an A in it the first time around, then I think you can figure out anything that requires statistics in your nursing...

  5. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    jewel100 replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, I believe the protocol is that you must first post on this forum 15 times. After that, you can send Suzanne a personal message or "pm" and she will email you directions on how to complete her...

  6. NCLEX take two.

    jewel100 replied to kmg265's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    While I think having a grip on content is important, I think that a lot of practice helps. Just do lots and lots of questions. And consider Suzanne's Plan, as she has gotten a lot of positive...

  7. Survey: How many hours did you took your nclex exam and what number did it stopped?

    jewel100 replied to Skates's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    75 questions in about an hour and a

  8. Hurst Review

    jewel100 replied to His_girl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've heard some good things about Hurst. I did Kaplan and I do believe that is what helped me pass on my first go at it. The class itself I could have probably forgone, but the practice with the...

    The exam is the same in every state and does not

  10. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    jewel100 replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey! You should not feel embarrassed! The most important thing is to recognize that whatever you did to prepare for the first two just wasn't what you needed and you've got to change it up somehow....

  11. Failed a 2nd time and am ready to move on with the rest of my life...

    jewel100 replied to Metabaronx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Would you be willing to tell me how much it is? I understand if you don't want to. I'm DEFINITELY going to look into that! I do like Saunders, but I kind of feel the same as you. Maybe Suzanne's plan...

  12. Failed a 2nd time and am ready to move on with the rest of my life...

    jewel100 replied to Metabaronx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, Sorry to hear that you are having trouble! I took Kaplan and it worked well for me. The trainers were good practice, and, if you score a 65% or higher on them, then there is a 98% chance of...

  13. Which Review Course?

    jewel100 replied to Maco's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi! I've heard of NCSBN and my classmates who took it said that the actual content review was tedious and boring, but they appreciated the practice with the questions. I took Kaplan and did every...

  14. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    jewel100 replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey! No one feels good about the exam! The test is designed for you to get fifty percent wrong, and fifty percent correct. If you had gotten a 50% on a test in nursing school, you would be devastated!...

  15. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    jewel100 replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That final week before was the worst for me too...I couldn't believe that the date was here already-I think I was in denial that October 3 (my test day) was actually going to arrive. But you'll be...

  16. Help!!

    Congrats! I'm so happy for

  17. November 2008 support group

    jewel100 replied to roadrunner14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi-I sat for the NCLEX-RN but the best advice I can give is to keep doing lots of questions, and try and try your best to not get over stressed or overwhelmed. Stress is very counterproductive, so do...

  18. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    jewel100 replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi! Congrats on closing in on the finish line! Totally normal to feel nervous about the boards...I found that it was that anxiety that helped me to be more dedicated and motivated about studying....

  19. About to throw up! HELP ME!

    jewel100 replied to Serena211's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You have definitely earned the right to take a break. Preparing for the boards one time is stressful, so I can't even imagine preparing for them twice. But know that you went in there and gave it all...

    jewel100 replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck! Just remember to breathe and you'll get through it. And don't forget to do something fun tonight with someone(s) who makes you

  21. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    jewel100 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is interesting! So should a student need a fourth try to pass their boards, would they have to go back to school for four years? Or is there a program in place to help remediate the students...

  22. Just took NCLEX today

    jewel100 replied to wildorchid's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats wildorchid! Winny103: your turn will come! Good

  23. KAPLAN QBANK or KAPLAN textbook?

    jewel100 replied to kewl_nurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think Kaplan was good practice. And the 7th trainer with 265 questions did seem to test my ability to sit for an exam that long, and to test my stamina. I took the 7th trainer in less than three...

  24. Just took NCLEX today

    jewel100 replied to wildorchid's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lol...I don't think I got any sleep the night before I was going to get my results. But I, like you, had 75 questions and I studied very hard and very thoroughly. I hope you get good news

  25. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    jewel100 replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students
