  1. Just graduated. Waitin to be approved for the Nclex-RN...HELP!!!

    waterpaint replied to Kambili's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Like so many other posters, I would also recommend you start studying now! I failed the NCLEX examination once, and am about to take it my second time. My mistake was that I focused too much on...

  2. Over Confident GN's

    waterpaint replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I would like to thank the OP for taking the opportunity to handle this in a constructive manner rather than "eating the young". Secondly, I recommend that you tell the Graduate nurse...

  3. Nursing student interested in Pediatric oncology...advice anyone?

    waterpaint replied to princessxjessica's topic in General Nursing

    The one advice I give many student nurses like yourself, is to work in the hospital. Perhaps it's too early for you to apply for internship (that's typically done your junior/senior year), however,...

  4. Didn't pass NCLEX RN

    waterpaint replied to Anyausa215's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What is the suzanne plan everyone is speaking of? I keep seeing mixed reviews and comments i.e. that the suzanne plan was taken off the

  5. Welcome To The NCLEX September Support Group

    waterpaint replied to UjonesRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm surprised to see how many 2nd time test takers there are. I too am a 2nd time test taker and find myself dragging day by day. Honestly, I'm quite tired of doing questions at this point in the...

  6. NCLEX minimum questions

    waterpaint replied to macgyver16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  7. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    waterpaint replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    When more experienced nurses eat their young-you were young once too. Teach me so that I'll become as good a nurse as you. It doesn't help to be

  9. New Grad Positions Question???

    waterpaint replied to everyday6/12's topic in General Nursing

    One thing you should remember for nursing school or any school at that, is that no question is a stupid one. Always ask especially if you're in question. New graduate positions are paid depending...

  10. KAPLAN SCORES!!

    waterpaint replied to ~Grad-2009~'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would recommend you do more questions...and any questions you don't know, look it up. Memorize your lab values! The day before your exam, take the day off and get a massage or go

  11. KAPLAN SCORES!!

    waterpaint replied to ~Grad-2009~'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan recommends that you get 65% or higher on the QBank questions to be considered "safely passing". However, there are a lot of graduate nurses who pass their exam getting ranges from 50-70% on...

  12. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    waterpaint replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    SirI beat me to the punch. This discussion board has gone from a debate to a blog-like war. Let's be nice! My grandmother truly valued and lived by the statement "kill them with kindness". If...

  13. Pre-req question

    waterpaint replied to erict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to a 4 year accredited nursing school in NY, and the first 2 years were designated pre-reqs. I'm sure all states work differently...just make sure the advice you're getting is from a Cali...

  14. Really...how hard is Chemistry?

    waterpaint replied to labchic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not that bad!! I would recommend you do all of your assignments i.e. readings, problems, etc. Reading PRIOR to class is really vital to your success. I found that other students who read prior...

  15. About to take 3rd exam but....I'm not ready!

    waterpaint replied to onebizeebee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think it would count as a 3rd failure but I would call pearson vue or your board of nursing just to make sure. God forbid I tell you that it wont count but it ends up being that it does. I...

  16. Going to School in NY but getting licensed in NJ

    waterpaint replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hahaha I know what you mean! Well good luck with Nursing School!!! Being a CNA has perks as well...you'll have one up on your classmates. I think having that aide experience really makes us better...

  17. About to take 3rd exam but....I'm not ready!

    waterpaint replied to onebizeebee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel your pain. I'm currently studying for my 2nd exam! The first time, I didn't feel ready but everyone told me not to post-pone it. I ended up taking it and failing with 169 questions. I...

  18. Going to School in NY but getting licensed in NJ

    waterpaint replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    HI!!! I went to school in NY at Decker School of Nursing...and moved down to VA after graduation. You can indeed get your license in another state. In fact, you can take your NCLEX examination...

    waterpaint replied to cuteangelskhot's topic in New York Nursing

    :dncgbby: WHOO HOO!!!!! GOOD

  20. About to take 3rd exam but....I'm not ready!

    waterpaint replied to onebizeebee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    All I know is that if you cancel it, you don't get your money back. You can postpone it to the latest date (24th?) without losing your money. I would recommend doing that... All in all, trust your...

  21. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    waterpaint replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    That's true; we DO need to vent. But when you vent, especially on a DISCUSSION board such as this one, it is expected that there will be feedback whether it be negative or positive. In this case,...

  22. What is the DEAL with these textbooks?

    waterpaint replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am an experienced Half.com user. I can say that if you're buying what they say is a brand new item...it includes the CD. Most of the time, I would email the user and ask if it were indeed included...

  23. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    waterpaint replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    It's nice to share experiences...but the way you talked to that patient was unacceptable...however awful he/she may have been. Didn't they teach you therapeutic communication in Nursing School?? I'm...

  24. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    waterpaint replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    Advice that you can either take or ignore: I went through those ATI exams, taking them and then moving on. If you can actually retain knowledge from those exams, it'll benefit you for after you...

  25. would it be ok to bring in a food tray or something for first day?

    waterpaint replied to ARRR10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think it's at all "weird" to bring food on your first day. As a matter of fact, I don't know of any nurse that doesn't like food. It's not necessary...but it is a nice gesture. It may win...
