  1. End of one journey and beginning of another....passed NCLEX!!

    RADIATION_RN replied to RADIATION_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I never fully understood that whole decision tree thing. When it came down to the actual NCLEX I never once tried to use it. There were not any questions on there where I absoutely had no clue about...

  2. End of one journey and beginning of another....passed NCLEX!!

    RADIATION_RN replied to RADIATION_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Was your weakness content or test questions? To me I liked both Hurst and Kaplan but for me, if I had to pick one I would give the edge to Kaplan just based solely on the access it gives you to TONS...

  3. End of one journey and beginning of another....passed NCLEX!!

    RADIATION_RN replied to RADIATION_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To me NCLEX was easier than Hurst and Kaplan. Which is why I think they stress a certain score sometimes. Score over a certain percentage on either because they are so difficult sometimes they know...

    RADIATION_RN replied to RADIATION_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm telling ya, the questions on Kaplan were WAY harder than the actual NCLEX. I would do some of the Kaplan tests at work and ask the RN I work with to help me on some to see if she understood it the...

  6. End of one journey and beginning of another....passed NCLEX!!

    RADIATION_RN replied to RADIATION_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Doing tons and tons of questions will do you no good unless you actually understand the rationales behind why they are right or wrong. That's the only suggestion I can make since I'm not sure what...

  7. NCLEX was nothing like I expected

    RADIATION_RN replied to HeartNursing3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats!!! I took mine on Tuesday and I walked out feeling the same. I did Kaplan and Hurst and I favored Kaplan just because of the endless amounts of practice questions they offered. But like you,...

    RADIATION_RN replied to lw7789's topic in Texas Nursing

    No problem! Try not to stress too much, I know it's super easy for me to say that now that I'm done with the program. Every semester I stressed like crazy over the dosage exams and every semester I...

  16. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to lw7789's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, you will take a dosage exam before every semester begins. It's how you are allowed to give medications in clinical. The dosage exam during the first week or so of level 1 at ACC only covers...

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah and I work with an RN who is in charge of our chemo room and she was in ACC's first RN graduating class in the 1970's. She just recently within the last 2 years decided to go back and get her BSN...

  18. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, use this time to take BSN courses since it looks like ACC is heading in the direction of requiring those courses like government, history, literature, and technical writing for acceptance into...

    I'm in level 4 hybrid and by the looks of the calendar for this fall it has changed a lot from when I was in level 1. To get a good idea of the schedule, go to the ADN website, click on level 1, then...
