  1. A year out of school and still no Nclex. advice please?

    chulada77 replied to nylpn2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What worked for me: 1-Go through your notes from school and jog your memory. If there are topics that you REALLY stink at then put those papers/chapters to the side and study them religiously....

  2. HESI vs NCLEX-RN

    chulada77 replied to khammond0005's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I found Exit Hesi to be extremely easy and ended up scoring 985. With the Hesi I knew I did well and was certain about my answers but the Nclex didn't make me feel certain about my correctness. I...

  4. is 3 weeks enough?

    chulada77 replied to neil890123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    MORE than enough!! I studied for 1.5 wks for about 3hrs per day and had zero problem passing it. All I did was practice test questions from Saunders and Kaplan. You'll be fine. I think you can get to...

  5. NCLEX BIG QUESTION

    chulada77 replied to chadmpayne86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think its about the overall percentage of questions you have gotten correct. If you DEFINITELY got the final question correct then it would make sense that you had hit the % you needed. BUT if you...

    chulada77 replied to Decemberblues's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the Hesi last week. I did NOT buy the Hesi review book, instead I used Saunders and did tons of practice questions. Truly I thought that the Hesi was based on your ability to choose the...

  7. Where did my Motivation go?

    chulada77 replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Students

  8. What are your study techniques?

    chulada77 replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    I read/scan(depending upon topic) the chapters assigned. I then go through each one and concept map the primary topics. So for example if the topic is ARDS. I would write the critieria to be...

  9. New Grad with no experience feels like being discriminated

    chulada77 replied to strawberrypie's topic in General Nursing

    They do NOT have the right to discriminate about experience if the add that they posted for the position does not specify "experience" as a pre-requisite. That is against the law to add your own...

    chulada77 replied to tammyw31's topic in Texas Nursing

  12. Need Advice on BSN or ASN!

    chulada77 replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Nursing

    I would say BSN unless you have a BA/BS in something else. I think to be competitive that you need a 4yr degree on your resume. Especially since new grads are not having an easy time getting jobs...

  13. Deciding Between RN vs PA.

    chulada77 replied to Sped's topic in General Nursing

    I am in an accelerated program and everyone in it is required to have a prior degree in something else. One of my classmates is a PA and is getting his RN. He said that the RN degree is much more...
