I'm a mixture of Taino, Mexica(aztec) and Comanche. I think it's sad to see indigenous people considered "illegal immigrants" when they're migrating on their ancestral homeland before any colonial borders were formed. As indigenous people we still have it rough in the americas. Especially in latin america. I just read article a few weeks ago about the mexican government killing a bunch of mayan indians in the jungles of chiapas.

It may depend on which state you're in. I'm currently in Michigan with a BSN and no license and I currently work as a clinical research coordinator.

Friday I have to work until 5:30 which may be a good thing. Then I'll be staying at my parents house the night before to relax and get away from everything.

I am taking the NCLEX RN for the 4th time this Saturday. The last time I took it was in August of 2007. I'm so nervous. I haven't studied as much as I would've liked but I'm doing much better on the practice exams now mainly due to the fact that my current job isn't weighed on whether or not I pass. I'm also taking it at a different facility this time around. Maybe a change in scenery will be beneficial since in my prior exams I took them all at the same facility. I'm so anxious to the point where I feel as though I need to reschedule.

are you by any chance Mexica?

the gym, disc golf, video games :)

congrats! How many questions did you have? The last time I took boards was in Aug. of 07 and I'm now scheduled for Nov. 8th.

congrats!

Can never go wrong with New Balance.

quick question for anyone taking or has taken Kaplan. I'm taking the online course I did the diagnostic exam. I got a 56% (100 out of 180 questions) on it and that's without studying for the past year. The last time I took the NCLEX was in Aug of 07. I've heard that students should aim for a 65% or higher.

congrats! why did you have to wait 5 weeks?

I personally wouldn't recommend Kaplan but only because of my own personal experience. I'm hoping to take boards next month for the 4th time and I'm currently taking Kaplan for the 4th time also but only because I'm required by the state to take a refresher course. However, I'm taking the class online this time and I like it much more than actually going to their classrooms. Your experience with Kaplan may differ however I will say that I did see quite a few people re-taking Kaplan as well. Oh yeah I almost forgot...I bought the Kaplan medication fash cards for roughly $18. I do like those better than others.

congrats!

nope or the 2nd and 3rd time as well. I'll be taking them again in October for the 4th time so I hope this will be it.

i have a BSN
