I am taking kaplan q bank questions and I am making between 50-60% on most all of my practice questions. I am usually doing only ten questions at a time on tutor mode. Is that OK to do or do I need to be taking all 50 questions on timed mode to deter...

I am applying to a primary care FNP program and my goal is to work in urgent care. Can this be done with it being primary care?

How long does it take after u submit application does it usually take until u find out if u got accepted into a fnp program? And do u find out online or only by mail? Also do u get a letter either way if it is yes or no?

It's July 14 now and deadline is October 1. I've done everything except get my letters of recommendation and get transcripts both official and unofficial. Am I waiting too late? Should I wait til next time to apply? I've told one person about letter...

I have been a nurse for six years. I feel kinda discouraged like maybe I should have become a fnp a long time ago. I'm wondering if school will be much harder now at 31. I had really good grades in school but haven't had to study, write papers, proje...

just curious your opinion and yeah I know no one knows but I wrote a personal goal statement and just don't like it and not sure how to make it better. I've had family look at it some. I have really good grades and good g p a. I can write a paper jus...

website says in bold letters to submit application first. When I talk to fnp coordinator at school she says transcripts first bc application will be imcomplete. So which do I do?? What did your program require? Also do I have to wait on letters of re...

Someone please explain this to me??? Some of my coworkers say they are getting their masters degree at their own pace. What in the world? So there are no deadlines for papers and all? This makes no sense to me. These people are not going back for a n...

I'm so disappointed where I normally would have been very happy because I just found out I'm pregnant and I already have a two year old and was going to start school in an online fnp program January 2017. So now be honest... Should I cancel and go an...

Anyone know what to do???

Anyone got advice please??

I have good grades and a high GPA and six years of nursing experience with medical surgical for five years as well as urgent care and experience on a renal floor. I'm great at reading and test taking but for some reason I have trouble writing things ...

@BCgradnurse: So who did you have professionally critique your paper? If I knew someone other than friends and family I would pay to have them look at it. The paper is definitely my weakness at this point though it really shouldn't be. Thank you for ...

I'm working in med/surg now and it seems crazy but i'm overwhelmed most days. I'm a new grad but maybe this just means nursing is not for me however I really love it. Do you have a suggestion of a slower paced floor? I never get out on time at the en...

If given an order to start 500ml ns bolus and bp is 78/50 hr 41. You were told pt would die within the next few days but not exactly expecting today. fast respiratory rate for the day before and that day. Would the bolus have kept them alive for lon...

I am a new nurse and I'm coming up with lots of little questions. when a doctor order says change dressing every day, and i am a day nurse does that mean i am supposed to change it and then the night nurse does not have to? or does that really mean c...

I was visiting a friend at this hospital and noticed that there are very few patients. There was no one on the fourth floor which is there medsurg floor. I was wondering why. Does anyone know the reputation of this place? do you know the nurse patien...

I have been out of school as an RN for a year now and have been working at a urgent care place for six months. My dream is to be a nurse in the hospital, but I have been applying like everyday to several posiitions and never got an interview until re...

I graduated in Dec 2009 and passed the boards in Feb. I'm so stressed out cause I have been applying everyday since then and have only gotten one interview and no job offer. I live in the Greenville area but would be willing to move to anywhere in SC...

I just now did. Thank you so much for telling me about it. Do you know people who have recently been hired there?

I really hate this because I made all A's and one B in nursing school but I realize that either I do not have much common sense or it is just my bad memory because right when I passed the NCLEX and became a nurse all my friends and family ask me medi...

Do you have to do 50 questions each time you use the kaplan Q bank in order to determine what score you need to be making to pass the NCLEX? Because when I do 10 questions instead of the full 50, I always do much better. Also is it necessary to do th...

I just did the trick and it worked but i'm certain I had to have failed the nclex at 75 questions. However, there were tons of select all that apply so I thought that might have been a good sign. But when I practed the select all that apply questions...

I just got my assignment for my preceptorship on the med surg floor. I don't feel too confident about my nursing skills and can be clumsy at times, so i'm real nervous about what to expect. What kind of attitude do I need to have, such as do I ask lo...

How important is it to get a nurse tech job for experience? I definintely need more experience but was just recently told by a student that she felt it was necessary in order for an employer to want to hire you especially if you do not have a long wo...
