Hello Nurses, I wanted to get some input about St. Alexis. I'm thinking about relocated to Bismark, ND. How is your experience so far?

Hello OldgradRN, How was your transition from Sacramento to Bismark? I'm from Northern California and thinking about relocating to ND.

Just curious, have you made a decision yet?

I can see the rationale for removing LVN from your application. I worked for a company who hired an LVN graduate (waiting to taking NCLEX) as a CNA. I heard some stories of new grads working as a CNA and later recruited for an an RN position. BUT, ...

PDA is a great book! I highly recommend it.

Some tips and suggestions: Keep your hands away from your face Wipe down phones Remove mask immediately after use Don't wear foundation Do no over scrub, wash, etc Change pillow cases frequently "Try" to get some rest

I didn't touch my ATI books for NCLEX.

I used Kaplan, it is expensive but worth it. I also used review books - Saunders, PDA by LaCharity. Cheek libraries for NCLEX review books. If you have time go to your local bookstores, and read some NCLEX books. I was able to search for NCLEX 3500...

Apply to multiple schools and never give up!

Stay focus, and never give up! Try to find a place to study that works well for you. Try coffee shops, school study rooms, libraries, etc. Take notes in class, record the lectures, and find a good buddy in class who is willing to share his or note...

Stay focus and never give up. Hard work pays off. A&P is a must in nursing, try to understand the systems pretty well. It will be beneficial when studying pathophysiology. Good luck!

Saunders lacked priority/ delegation questions. I suggest using Saunders with other resources. Highly recommend PDA by LaCharity!!!

Practice NCLEX style questions prior to test days!!! I highly suggest getting Saunders (yellow book). Make sure to read rationales!

Congrats Diva, RN! I'm looking into USF's RN-MSN (CNL) program. I was wondering, how long have you work as an RN before applying to graduate school?

Thank you! Is UCD/Sac State MSN's program competitive as well as their BSN program?

Do you know any info on MSN programs in Sac area? Is it impacted as well?

nothing YET. hopefully tomorrow.

Has anyone ever taken the TEAs V, and scored below a 64%?

Hey! I was wondering how hard is it to get at least a 64% on the TEAs V? I been studying the TEAs V book and looking at some websites others have suggested. Prior to studying, I took the practice TEAs V exam form A, and didn't do well. I'm getting r...

Any updates or suggestions for future CSM nursing students?

I don't think I can wait any longer! Does anyone know how many first time applicants do they select?

the wait is killing me... =(

I thought the actual TEAS V test was similar to the ATI study guide in English/Grammar, Math, and Reading. But the science was more difficult in my opinion.

I didn't used those books, but I read other forums and I believe some people used chemistry for dummies. There are a lot of life and physical science, and chemistry questions. I would def brush up on those topics.

I used ATI stud guide along with the assessment form A and B. I also used McGraw-Hill study guide (which you are able to download). I also bought the test from teastime.com for an est. of $15. Teastime was help because it was timed, and prepared me f...
