    Geez'us. Not sure why people are asking questions that they should be beating the pavement to get themselves. If you feel happy and secure w/iuon...why aren't they supplying you with all the answers? ...yeah, whatever...I'm praying too. If you are he...

  8. little helpful hints

    I like this topic...now if the coffee would just kick in, I could be useful. I've noticed that I like to have a hemostat, a calculator and tape on me at all times. Also, I don't like having anything around my neck (steth., ID necklaces, etc.), the p...
  9. Theorist

    Kinda wondering what everyone's experience is in regards to nursing theorist. I've had to study Watson, then transition into studying Gordons', then finally Leninger. Would like to know if they, any theorist, are enforced in schools and practice. S...
  10. need encouragement

    ....and remember, nursing test are nothing like standard college classes. Well, in my experience that is. The first exam is always the "feeler" exam. And always, always, met with the instructor to go over the test one-on-one, and get pointers on ho...

  16. failed the NCLEX twice and feeling like a failure :(

    I know I'm going to have a tough time with the NCLEX. I suffer from text anxiety and its haunted me for years. Everyone I talked to have all said, to go out and do something fun the day before the boards. "You'll know the material, you just need to...
  17. Study Groups Necessary???

    I have never had a bad study group experience. Grant it, our study groups start with bs'ing, then shift into high gear and its all business. Before a exam we come together and the bs'ing takes a very very way back seat. We mainly dissect the chapte...
