Thanks for your reply! I've looked a little bit into Point Click Care, but several assisted living nurses I know have said that they've had trouble adapting it to the assisted living environment. I've only begun my research, so I will certainly look...

Took the midterm this morning. There were a lot more theory questions than I expected, but no real surprises. Halfway done!!!

This class is a lot easier than I thought it would be. Especially considering I haven't had any math since high school. Missed 1 question each on Mods 1 & 2, and got 100% on Mod 3. Just turned in Mod 4 and will start working on 5 today. I've foun...

Okay, so I read back through the other statistics threads on this message board and got over my fear of submitting assignments. I'm done with modules 1 and 2. I wonder when she'll post more modules... I think I'll get started anyway since it sounds l...

I'm with you! I'm done with Module 1 already, but I'm not sure if I should do the assessment yet. This is my first OU class...

Good luck! I know you can do it!

Hey everyone! I just got back home from the NCLEX, WOW, that was difficult (not trying to scare anybody)! I had 75 questions; 14 SATA, 3 drag and drop and 2 math. Got the good pop up when I checked before even leaving the parking lot, so I'm feeling ...

Well. I wasn't thrilled with the exam times available to me in my area (the earliest being mid July), so I scheduled in a city 2 hours away for the 27th. Last night, before I went to bed, I double-checked my area and there was an opening here. For to...

CourtneyH: Great plan! I like the idea of cutting off the studying for the day before the exam. It probably will be good to just clear your mind and relax. I got my ATT today! I have scheduled and rescheduled (stalking the Pearson website) and have a...

@mcunanan - I've also read (can't remember where) that you need to leave the IV in place in case there is an antidote. The doctor would want to infuse the antidote into the tissues in the exact spot that the drug entered. I don't know about that, ...

Still waiting (and waiting) for my ATT. The Board called and said they have my letter of completion but they have a very large stack to get through, so if I don't get the ATT next week I should call them back. I only have until Friday to schedule my ...

Congratulations and thank you for the words of encouragement to those of us that will be testing in the near future!

Love this thread, I'm just going to jump right in if you all don't mind! Good luck to everyone! I'm doing Kaplan, Hesi Comprehensive Review, Saunders, and LaCharity. So far, I'm up to Chapter 4 - Renal in the Hesi Comprehensive Review. I got a 985 on...

Congratulations! I'm surprised they wouldn't let you put the chapstick on your hand, but I guess they need to have strict rules.

The fact that you got so many SATA and other high difficulty questions is a good sign. I think the NCLEX is designed to make you think you failed no matter what. An instructor who writes questions for it told me that the test ensures that you only an...

My opinion is that Saunders questions are not as challenging as the NCLEX, however, it's a good study guide for reviewing content. It can't hurt to do Saunders, but I would definitely recommend supplementing it with a guide that utilizes the applicat...

Yeah, I get that, which is why I said we were fine with the original schedule. It was a pain for us, but as you said, it was because the sites could only take on students during the day. However, the schedule change was completely Tri-C's fault and ...

Thanks, I'll do that! What I mean is that Tri-C isn't the most organized program in the world. The most recent nightmare we had to deal with was the mandatory hospice observation scheduling in 2500. We were in the evening program because most of us w...

REALLY?! How? I just graduated and am in the process of transferring to OU. I thought PTK only had agreements with certain universities to get money upon transfer, is OU one of them? Also, any recent grads on here know when to expect the ATT? Am I ri...

I couldn't stand the competition either! At first it really bugged me and I wouldn't tell anybody what I got ever, but once one of my instructors called me out on my score in front of my classmates*, I found it was easier just telling people what I g...

I just graduated cum laude from a supposedly demanding program with 3 kids under 7 (half of my friends did not make it through and many others had to repeat courses). I did no studying at all during the week and just spent my entire Sunday each week ...

"Do you cry easily?" It was during an interview for a system analyst job that I had (I accepted the job offer) before deciding to go to nursing school. It wasn't long before I understood why they asked that question... the customers could be very abr...

OP, I'm really sorry that your ER experience and this forum are examples you've come across of how nurses treat others. I just want to say in my admittedly somewhat limited experience that this is NOT the norm. As they say an anecdote does not a patt...
