    My question is how many percentage do i need to pass the nclex..

    StayLost replied to seyd's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you run out of time you have probably done a majority of the 265 questions possible. If the computer is still giving you questions, you have yet to prove to the computer with 95% certainty that you...

    IS BSN slower paced than ASN

    StayLost replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in General Students

    I think when it came to clinicals we were definitely slower paced than the local ADN students. By the end of first semester, we were still practicing assessments while the ADN students were already...

    Kaplan Online Test Scoring

    StayLost replied to StayLost's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Is It Possible An LPN Can Make More Then An RN?

    StayLost replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    ABSOLUTELY NOT! I don't care how much experience the LPN has, if as an RN you are expected to perform nursing tasks that are outside the scope of the LPN but paid less? Outrageous! BUT the real...

    StayLost replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad if I am working on the floor in the capacity of a tech I do what the nurse delegates to me--bottom line. And secondly, during a code it's so easy for the rest of the unit to be...

    How many hours of sleep did you get a night when you were in nursing school?

    StayLost replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

    It depended on the rotation. I slept like a little babe during mental health, but during my ICU rotation we had 2 days to write up a 35 page care plan. I would start writing as soon as I got my...

    You intuitively think that you must get licensed in the state that you went to school in but that is not true. Once you graduate from nursing school you choose which state you will practice. You do...

    NCLEX review books

    StayLost replied to MJB2010's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The Saunders Review is too detailed in my opinion. I should have bought that Saunders book and skipped my 20K education at the University. It was helpful in some areas like L&D because I totally...
