Nellifuturenurse2010

The trick worked for me. I took the exam last wednesday (the 12th) and got the good pop up. Today my license came in the mail. I live in CA, I got my results pretty fast.

I'm considering applying for this position, but I am curious, do I need to have my license already, I plan to take NCLEX in a couple weeks

I am somewhat dealing with the same circumstances. Sometimes I just dont know what to say to patients. I know what I am doing, but the articulation is just not there. So I am in the same boat as you: trying to go from somewhat shy/ soft spoken to out...

I'm sure you did fine. What do you want to get on it? I looked over the manual for like 10 minutes before taking the test and got a 91...but the lady told me I should aim higher if I wanted to get into a program..Luckily we can take it as many times ...

why are you looking at it as a competition??? I don't care if you have straight A's...it does not mean you will be a better nurse than someone who got B's and C's. In my class we never know what EVERYONE has gotten on the test, nor do we all care...a...

The only courses I feel are crammed are pharm and patho...and maybe the transitions in clinicals... I know in our program the transition into the hospital from skills is horrible...the teachers complain that we aren't ready and the students complain ...

As far as details in how it may be difficult. You have to learn A LOT in a short amount of time....A LOT of memorizing and critical thinking. Tests, quizes, papers, care plans...all can be due around the same time depending how your classes flow. T...

You have to have it, but my school pays for ours.

It;s not that bad. I mean maybe because i Barely get anything back from the state anyway... but things are not going to be bad forever...so if people are really leaving...that sucks for them.

yea I will have to admit nursing books are expensive! add on the supplies you need and your pockets go flat lol. I remember my first semester they wanted us to buy our books in this bundle they put together that was $500.00 but it had books we would ...

Wow thats crazy. My school you have to get a 73% to pass and people were complaining lol. The only thing I hate about my school is the +/- system. Im used to flat As, Bs, and Cs. But I feel bad for those that have to get higher than 80% to pass their...

I don't agree with this... The bay area is NOT THAT expensive to say a nurse can only live OK out here if he/she rents. Let's not over dramatize it. My mom will be making less than me after I graduate and get a job and she is definitely living comfor...

wow, that sounds a little old fashioned. Talk to you instructor to see if that is outdated. I would be mad if I had to wear a skirt. I don't really like to wear skirts.

It is as hard as you make it. It is definitely going to be somewhat difficult, but depending on how you pace yourself and manage your time and the effort you put forth will determine how hard it will be overall. I advise at the beginning of the cours...

How many questions is yours??? At our school you have to get an 18/20 (90%) as well and you get to try again the week before finals goodluck on the next try and take your time! lol :)

I work at a store...but this is my second year so I want to get my foot in the door at a hospital. esp since jobs in northern ca are hard to get. I applied for unit clerk, receptionist, and cashier. These jobs are either evening, weekends, or both. I...

I hate that you have to have a $0 EFC. Mine is high but my mom does not pay my tuition, I have $15,000 in loans . Maybe I should ask my mom not to claim me ?

My study plan is quite simple. We have some students who record lectures and email the recordings to the rest of the class (we're all a team). But on my own I do use the objectives to outline my notes for that particular lecture. I then type them up....

Very interesting, I am doing my clinicals at this hospital next semester...this makes me nervous.

Im in a BSN program which is 3 years (yea I know, long) and is 6 semesters long. I only really heard the term credits when I went to a quarter school, we typically talk in terms of units. For passing you have to get a 73% to pass any class and if you...

Don't worry, just keep your head up! You'll make it through. I went through the same thing last semester. 4 people were written up for turning in late careplans in my clinical class, although I did not get written up, it felt like I did. My teacher (...

I had A's in the core prereqs and a couple b's in the rest. But its possible with a high TEAS score..or a lottery system as well

in the first program I was in, people took pharmacology and patho before they were in the program and were able to be excused from those classes. But I failed out of a program and switched, but had to start from scratch. They preferred we take their ...

^lol I am sure its going to get worse! i'm the type of person who has her money spent in her mind before she gets her check. That's probably why I'm always broke lol.

I have only done evening, but people in the morning seemed to have done things that you just dont do at night...i.e. making beds, doing bed baths...I only did that once all last semester. But I want more experience, so I am doing a morning shift this...
