Here's a little about my experience, hope it helps some of you.. I didn't start studying for the NCLEX until about 2 weeks after my last day as a nursing student. Now I didn't go over any material, only did practice questions. My 1st week of studying...

Np good luck!

Yea they took most of my pre reqs but that was over 3 years ago. They don't only look at the class, but also the amount of units that class is worth. good luck

I was! :yelclap:

My instructors always taught us to jot things down because you can never remember EVERYTHING. There's just too much to remember and you don't want to risk confusing patients with one another. Stick to whatever you are comfortable with, if you need to...

Yes it's normal! :) BTW clinicals and preceptorship really aren't as bad as you might think. At least for me, I feel much more comfortable during clinicals than sitting for an exam!

Oh this one upsets me so much: DON'T READ WORD FOR WORD FROM THE POWERPOINT SLIDES THAT WE ALL HAVE PRINTED OUT! We are all capable of reading the same exact thing at home, maybe you should elaborate more on the topics huh?! ugh. :icon_roll

Reading to yourself outloud and asking yourself questions about what you read and self answering them; also, 2-3 days before exams get with your study group and ask each other questions and quiz each other.

WOOT WOOT!! BSN! :yeah:

Getting in wasn't the hard part, but trying to pass the exams every week are. The nursing classes are super stressful and theres a TON of information you need to memorize and retain in less than 2 months, but keep in mind almost all nursing schools a...

I was at first, everything was amazing from the classes to the instructors. but everything goes downhill once you start the nursing classes. the instructors dont do anything to help. half of them cant even teach, they read off the power points and ba...
