It's been said several times, but just to say it again, the Kaplan questions are much harder than the NCLEX questions. One thing is that you might come across something that you legitimately have never heard of (I came across one disease and on drug ...

6 days before the exam I re-read my Kaplan book and did questions. I read carefully every time something came up in the book that I didn't remember, things I remembered I only skimmed. My last few Kaplan question trainer scores were 70, 70, 70, 68, 7...

isn't it compensated respiratory acidosis?

My Kaplan Instructor always broke it down as "Which one is going to make you jump off your chair?". The short cut for that is ABCs. The patient is a respiratory patient and has had a significant change in respiratory status. By ABCs respiratory issue...

I don't use it full out. I use it selectively. I always use step 1 (identify the topic of the question) and then I go straight to the relevant step. The step I would say I've used most often is ABC which is a big help because while I learned it in sc...

58 hours out. Scores: QT1: 67, QT2: 69, QT3: 54, QT4: 64, QT5: 69, QT6: 60, QT7: 63, QB average : 64 I'm feeling ok content wise. I don't know everything I come across, but I am getting better at stopping and thinking about what the question is askin...

Not exactly the same situation but I was educated in Illinois and will be taking the NCLEX in Illinois, but my license will be issued in California because my family is re-locating there at the end of the year. You apply for your license from the sta...

Figure out quickly what organization methods work best for you, if your program is anything like mine you are about to receive an avalanche of papers. I personally prefer a binder and three hole puncher.

I got into MVCC as well! I can't wait for orientation.

If memory serves we were told at the Application meeting that you get to choose which set of scores is used but you can not combine scores. I would call academic advising and email the head of the nursing program just to be sure. There seems to be al...

i got a 90% overall. 86.7% on math and science sections. Yes, the exact same score on both. I'm hoping its good enough.

Spring 2010. I'm taking the TEAS this afternoon

That depends on your situation. If you have a car you should consider taking all the books to school but only carrying the ones you are actually going to use for the next class. As you get into the semester you will be able to tell which teachers exp...

Tabitha247, Laurenmh, I'm applying there as well. Good luck!

As a previous poster mentioned, grades are very volatile. Especially if its early in the class or the class doesn't accumulate many points. If your class has a high point total over the semester (for example my micro class and general bio class are b...

I tend to prefer to study earlier in the day. If you have any amount of time before class try arriving early and reviewing then. even 30 or 40 mins every day will add up. I am fortunate enough not to have to work (believe me I count my blessings ever...

Rod/bacillus bacteria have a cytoskeleton that is made of actin. They are the only kind of bacteria that have it I believe.

I'm much more calm now. This week we had a quiz and a test. Our teacher allows us to hand grade once we've handed in our tests. I got a 100% on the quiz and 98% on the test plus 4 extra credit points from my typed study guide. That almost makes up fo...

Electron shells are constant. 2 in the first 8 in all others. So fill the first shell with two electrons, the remaining shell. Carbon: Can accept 4 more in its second level Hydrogen: can accept 1 more in its first level Nitrogen: Can accept 3 in its...

molecules are made of two or more elements (atoms). Compounds are made of two or more totally different atoms. So H would be an atom, H2 a molecule, H2O a compound.
