  4. Saunders vs Kaplan

    Despareux replied to Sarah0106's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just had a bunch of classmates take the NCLEX; they all said the questions are very much as difficult as Kaplan. I score very high on Saunders, but on Kaplan, my scores are about 10-20 percentage...

  5. What disorders did you diagnose yourself with in Nursing School?

    Despareux replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    My poor kids. Glad I'm not the only

  6. after my job interview they told me that they will be calling this week

    Despareux replied to chulex's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sounds like you did NOT get the job, YET. It's very typical for an interview to end this way. Sometimes they have others candidates to interview, and/or they just want to select the best candidates...

  7. Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    Despareux replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    As an older nurse, you've had plenty of years to adapt to changes in the field. New nurses are taught in two-years of nursing school what you currently know from many years of experience. You were...

    Despareux replied to NurseEric81's topic in General Students

  9. Best Nursing Shoes/Sneakers

    Despareux replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    NB Minimus : New Balance Bought these a week ago. No back pain, foot pain, or knee pain. I can't remember the last time I wore a shoe without experiencing some kind of pain; out of the box or worn...

  10. Neighbors, friends, and family coming by for nursing advice

    Despareux replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I think the worst is when a family member asks you about a symptom, a test result, how to alleviate a symptom, etc... But in reality, they just want to debate your answer. So now, I tell everyone,...

  11. KAPLAN Review

    Despareux replied to Grmmy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Worth it. I have not taken NCLEX yet, but I did take a Kaplan course and found it to be very insightful. Amazing how I spent the last 2 years of nursing school learning how to answer these types of...

  12. What gives with the unsupportive spouses?

    Despareux replied to dragonfly414's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had your attitude once as a single mom, working two full-time jobs AND going to college. I'm married now, which means, there is another person in my life I have to take into consideration. Some...

  13. Got it all, but can't answer NCLEX questions

    Despareux replied to Mmae's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Since you know the material and tutor classmates on it; why don't you have a high scoring classmate tutor you on how to answer the

  14. What is it about turning 50 that makes you obsessed with your bowels?

    Despareux replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    I just kind of thought that, after 50 years, you have an idea of what makes you feel better. I don't know about anyone else, but going poop every day always makes me feel

  15. Anyone else the QUIET nurse?

    Despareux replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Only when I'm quiet, I can hear, and better assess my patients and those around me. I am also quiet and like being this way and have never felt comfortable sharing personal information with just...

  16. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    Despareux replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    All I know is, I really despise the "sink or swim" attitude. It is simply wrong to have a nation with such a great divide in wealth without social safety-nets in place. But, I do believe, our nation...

  17. I'd Love to Hear Your Kaplan Experience!!!

    Despareux replied to starmickey03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Loved Kaplan. I tend to over-think and Kaplan helped me to place boundaries on my thinking. My scores averaged 60-65% on Kaplan trainers prior to taking the 3-4 day course. After taking the course,...

  18. Best Nursing Shoes/Sneakers

    Despareux replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I could have written this about myself. Mine isn't heel; I've had plantar fasciitis on my right foot for last 13 years. The only solution for me is going barefoot; of course, that's simply not going...

  19. APA FORMATTING HELP!

    Despareux replied to vlvance26's topic in General Students

  23. What's so great about a pinning ceremony?

    Despareux replied to SummitRN's topic in General Students

    I just had my pinning ceremony and it was definitely meaningful. But, the best part of the ceremony, was walking out of there as a new graduate, which I could not wait

  24. Illness?

    Despareux replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a job yet. But during my 18 month nursing school experience, I have never been sick. In my whole 39 years, I have only been sick with pneumonia once and the flu once, and then I had a...
