I've read alot of posts of people talking about retaking the question trainers until they do better, how can u do that? I wanted to retake my diagnostic test to see if i improve but i don't know how?

I tried to search this but didn't come across any topic which related to my exact question... sooo... My question/comment is: I am taking the Nclex for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks. I enrolled in Kaplan and have been doing questions not only from Ka...

I recently passed the boards! but now am jobless I work as a NA at a small county hospital on a med surg floor and there is no opening for a new RN and none in sight anytime soon. I was reading on a couple threads that getting further certifications...

that's what i figured. it prob wont be a major decision maker cuz if i really needed that wouldn't a hospital just hire me and than require me to get that certification? it's not like it takes years to get ACLs, u know what i mean... thanks! and i be...

AHH, I graduated in May and my school use to have the HESI exams and I did terrible on them, yet somehow I always got at least a A or B in all my nursing classes. I just finished my kaplan course and I am doing HORRIBLE, i mean i don't even think the...

thanks everyone! i think i was just anxious and just needed confidence in myself. i PASSED with 75 questions! wooooooo

Is there any truth to the fact that exam cram questions are written similarly to NCLEX? Anyone who already took nclex think so?? I just dont want to spend any more money unless i really need to, please help thanks!!

haha thanks, i tried, my local library and college one didn't have it oh well i guess the money will be worth it when i passss wwooooo for positivity.. Thanks everyone!

thanks, was this the cd you used ? or a book i'm confused.

thank you everyone, I guess I was just panicing because i had a dream i failed nclex 3 times a couple nights ago, which is clearly impossible since i haven't taken it even ONCE yet lol... and i've read alot of posts and heard from people who say they...

i've heard exam cram is a great source, however, the latest one i can find was published in 2007... do u think that will be okay since the nclex 2010 is a new exam this april?

to me patient care means being there for a patient when they are most vulnerable. You are there for a patient when they are scared, happy, nervous, confused, and stressed. You offer support and courage as well as medical care. To me patient care me...

haha totally agree. that was one of the main reasons i was eager to watch the show. they said nurses also.. oh well... i still thought the show was pretty good

i'm watching now as well.. deff is more dr. orientated.. i wish and hope they show more nurses.. we really do alot.. come on.. SHOW THE NURSES!!!

thanks everyone!

i work as a nursing assistant, but not a certified one and was able to keep the job even after graduating nursing school. I've heard that once you graduate you cannot work as a CNA while u try to find a job or are studying for your boards. But i neve...

I have a BSN. How long does it take to become a DNP or NP (not sure of the difference, i could use some help with that also!) Do you have to get your MSN than apply to a DNP/NP program? or is there a way to combine MSN and NP programs? In general how...

i am graduating next week with my bsn. i unfortunately do not have an impressive gpa, 2.9. i know that someday i want to go for my masters. i got a c in a nursing class that was worth 9 credits and have not been able to revive my gpa since then. in a...

I'm a nursing student and I always see NPs in the hospital and even during rounds, What exactly can NPs do in the hospital? I know they do assessments and work collaborativley with Drs but I mean can they prescribe meds?, order tests? I'm just curiou...

Do you guys know of any DNP programs that do seem crediable? I'm not looking for any specific location.. any program location is fine. I just want an idea of wat to look for in a DNP progam? Which sparks another question... what are u suppose to look...

thanks guys! i hadn't really considered taking my time to research a program. I figured if a school had a program it would be great to attend that school;however, i agree with u.. its all new and prob a good idea to wait awhile.

where are you doing your MSN? good for you! thanks:up:

if you dont mind me asking what kind of student were you? Were your grades exceptionally good? Do you have to be a top student to get into these programs? Also does anyone know of any MSN program that does not require experience around the PA, NJ, NY...

which school is this?

I am an average nursing student. I don't get straight A's or anything but with alot of effort I do well and am mostly a B student with the average A's. For some reason I dont do well on the Hesi's at all. I dont completly bomb but it deff is not a co...
