  1. 50 Things New Nurses Need to Know about Orientation

    I used to wear the stockings, and then I discovered Zensah Tech+ Compression Socks! So much cooler looking, longer lasting and way more comfortable! I don't do a shift without wearing these!
  2. Anybody take it today 6/25

    I took it today also at the same time!! Same story, 75 questions, good pop up and I am still wondering if its true!
  3. Im about to take NCLEX in a few weeks! Thanks! I just downloaded this free book so havent had a chance to read it yet, but the table of contents look great!!! Here's hoping it helps me! :)
  4. Your take on the hurst review!

    I just finished the live hurst review. I felt like I got my money's worth! However, I haven't taken the NCLEX yet...... That being said, this review is for CONTENT....You can't answer the questions right if you don't know your stuff, right? It pull...
  5. Passed out at clinicals

    Try researching vaso-vagal syncope and neurocardiogenic syncope. It is inherited, so probably you know one of your parents has passed out in the past. As you have learned in nursing school already, certain things can trigger a vaso-vagal response an...
  6. NLN!

    http://www.nln.org is the website. You might have to register, but it's in there. Let us know how you did!
  7. A&P Mnemonics!

    Does anyone have any really good mnemonics to help remember ANYTHING in A&P classes? The workload is incredible and I cant think of any really GOOD ones! Thanks!
  8. In what order should I take these classes?

    I think you have an excellent plan! I did the same thing, had the math prep classes, took it slow, kept a 4.0 and I just got accepted into nursing school for this fall. I had so much fun in my classes, used the professor rating website to help me pic...
  9. In what order should I take these classes?

    I am in a basic chemistry class now, and it's the last pre-req I have to take. I was terrified of it, but since I have a good professor, it turned out to be one of my favorite classes. Our class is mostly basic algebra calculations. I would be tot...
  10. IRSC nursing Fall 2011

    @wkbonesteel, good to see you online! How did you ever guess it was me? haha :) Okay so I kinda figured speculation could be dangerous, but oh how fun it is! At this point the mailman thinks I have some kind of crush on him as I always run out to g...
  11. IRSC nursing Fall 2011

    Okay this is going to drive some people crazy but I think it's funny.... Last semester the deadline to apply was Sept 10 and they got their letters on Oct 2. This year, March 10. If you take April 2 and add the 7 days they were closed, that makes it...
  12. NLN!

    Which section did you get your lowest score? For reading/vocab, I would buy other study guides besides the ones you have and take practice tests. Also, NLN has free practice tests online that you can take. I took all of them! When I got a low sco...
  13. IRSC nursing Fall 2011

    Thank you! I'm still anxious though. At 184, I think you have a good chance. My fingers are crossed for all of you! :loveya:
  14. NLN!

    Oh yes, I figured out that memorizing vocabulary words doesnt really help, because you could spend time memorizing 3,000 words and maybe those arent the ones on the test! Time spent reading the NLN guide for test taking strategies is more valuable s...
  15. NLN!

    I used the one published by NLN. That is the main one to study, and the most helpful. However, I have a lot of others (I know, I was overly concerned about passing) and if I could choose one of the others it would be the McGraw-Hill because it cover...
  16. IRSC nursing Fall 2011

    My score is 206, due to the fact that all my pre-reqs are done except chemistry which I am in now.....
  17. IRSC nursing Fall 2011

    Well, I did notice something new today! My nln test score and also my final score is showing on the application status online. That tells me they are working hard this week to get things done! Perhaps we will hear something Saturday or Monday......
  18. NLN!

    I took the NLN and found that questions for physics and chemistry were many. I studied that guide, a couple other random guides and also the two physics and chemistry books for dummies. I passed with a composite score of 98. I wouldnt have done we...
  19. made it! Hello all!

    How exciting!!! I am so happy for you! Congratulations!!:clpty:
  20. NLN Pre-RN/PAX Tips and Strategies

    I just want to say thank you so much for sharing!!!!! I have already taken the test and your advice is right on target and will be extremely valuable for anyone prepping to take this exam for the first time, or even a subsequent time to raise their s...
  21. I agree that memorizing vocabulary words is not the best use of your time! You could learn 5,000 new words, and you will probably not see any of those on the exam. I found the official NLN review guide combined with a couple of other guides for oth...
  22. IRSC nursing Fall 2011

    It will be by mail, and the waiting is driving me crazy! I hope it won't be long!
  23. NlN score results?

    The highest overall AD you can get is 99! 95 is a very good score!
  24. Best time to take the NET?

    I was wondering if anyone who has taken the NET test can tell me what the best time is to take the test. I will be able to apply for Nursing school in May, so obviously I need to take it before then. Currently I am still in the beginning of MAT1033...
  25. A&P Mnemonics!

    These are all really good and will be helpful to a lot of people I am sure! Thanks for sharing...and if anyone out there has anymore, dont hesitate to add to this list! Thanks again! :)
