how long did it take you to do this? that thing is massive... like nursing school all over again.

you don't have to like nursing (in general)... all you need to do is competently treat your patient and keep them alive until the next nurse arrives or they are discharged. it is a means to an end (a paycheck). do the bare minimum... this is what REAL WORLD nursing is about... per this forum and my experience in school. did i get that right? LoL

meant to include... if the minimum passing grade was 80%... hope that makes sense.

i was studying... back to the grind... good day/night.

congrats~! you live down the street from me... anyway, i need an ATT.... turned in my application last month. they said, 8-12 weeks... i laughed when the recording mentioned something along the lines of "if you call and inquire about your application, it might delay the process..."

anybody want a hug?

see bold... also, make sure you devote time to grasping the content from the hurst review... listen to it 2-3 times, if you must.

don't you nurses have people to save... and the students... exams to study for?

taking a break from my NCLEX studies... this is what i had post a couple months back. "i'm not sure how to articulate this, but here it goes. i either read this here or a faculty member disclosed this. they implemented the HESI to keep borderline students from continuing their nursing education. this means, the 80% grade student (prior to the HESI) fails because the HESI brought their grade down to a 79.9%. ultimately, a college/university/etc... is a business. from what i remember, there are statistics correlating NCLEX passing rates and campuses. these figures dictate their accreditation, enrollment, etc... i'm not sure how much (if any) relation there is between the HESI and NCLEX. i know people assume they reflect one another."

hello... so i went on breeze (https://www.breeze.ca.gov/) and completed the application... did the live scan option and paid the 150.00 for an ATT... how long does it take for them to respond? did this last week. thanks~! nobody there responds to email or phone calls.

what else do you have going on in your life? the majority of people fail nursing school because of prioritization issues. nursing school is not difficult, but you have to put in time/effort. i am not afraid to admit i am not the brightest person in the world, but i have an indomitable will. i haven't seen family for 4 years, i half-assed a relationship (so that failed), and i quit my job to focus on my studies... nursing school was a full-time job for me. good luck whatever you decide to do... i graduated Summer of 2014. with almost a 4.0 GPA (nursing curriculum)

i want to try the pharmacology boot camp. i watched a couple of videos and it's also helped me.

Pharmacology sucks... I am grateful this wasn't an actual class, but incorporated into my entire program. I am not sure what advice to give you because the majority of it is memorization/repetition... Try breaking them down into classes and work from there. At least with a disease process, I could make educated guess through questions. Even licensed rns keep medication books lying around. Try adderall or some **** like that... So many people in my program were on brain steroids. I feel cheated... I am kidding. Have a nice day.

not talking about the test in general... moreso the abrupt change. especially, 5 weeks prior to ending the term... i know why schools implement these types of test. loving how they sell it as an indicator of how successful you will be when you sit for boards. people who scored well above the recommended minimum still failed the NCLEX. catmom713... use evolve if you have that resource. use that book you bought also... those helped me most when i was in nursing school.

get off allnurses and start reading... if it doesn't make sense, read it again. i'm on here to shoot the s%$+... graduated in Summer 2014...

how long did it take you to go through all of the ncsbn material? also... how long did it take you to get through the hurst review stuff.

your school must be on the hit list for licenses/accreditation repeal...

i have met some of the most fudged up people/nurses in my life during nursing school... i doubt their ethnicity had to do anything with it. if it makes you feel any better, i will be your friend. =) stress school... and forget them.

subscribed... i just want to know what happened... LoL~!

the workbook is filled with empty spaces ... don't know how much you remember from school... no way i was filling them in without the recorded lecture. also, i wrote a hand full of information down that isn't in the workbook. your call...

Los Angeles... since 1982

that's awesome... i knew a couple of people who took the test WITHOUT REVIEWING ANYTHING... passed in 75 finished in about 40 minutes... =)

out of curiosity... how many days did you take to go through the hurst review? it's roughly 40 hours... but i know people play 8 hours of information a day... how long did it take you?

from what i understand, there is evidence that correlates exercise to your brain function... however... if you're exercising because you do not want to get fat, you're misinformed... dieting/your diet will control this. watch watch you eat and you won't have to worry about the gym.

probably because the strategies taught from the Kaplan are not 100% guaranteed... i have read their "decision tree" and whatever else they teach can steer you in a random direction (from the answer)...
