I also took the hurst review and loved it. I passed with 150 questions.

Nursing school goes by so fast. I started in January 04 and graduated August 05. I just took my boards, passed and am now working. I still have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure I am not dreaming. It really does go by fast. Amy

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 2 weeks of waiting my husband came home early today and found my results in the mail. Good luck to all those still waiting.

Papaw John, you are great! I hope my preceptor has the ability to explain things like you do. I always love reading your responses because I learn something I didn't know. Amy

Thank you both for replying. My nurse educator has already given me the book for the class and has me registered to take critical care classes before the ACLS. I must say that my hospital seems to really be looking out for me. I hear some horror s...

Hey! I was reading one of the discussions below and wanted to ask a question. I am a new grad just starting in CCU. I am scheduled for ACLS in 1 month. What can I expect? Is there a way to better prepare myself so I am not totally lost? It's very int...

I took my test here in Alabama. The only people that can access the online verification here are employers. There is a phone number you can call but I received my results in the mail before the information on the phone was updated.

I found out today when my results came in the mail that I passed. I live in Alabama and my name has still not appeared on their website even though my letter was mailed out on Monday.

I am a new grad and I have been offered a job in the CCU and the MICU. I am really having a hard time making up my mind. I always thought CCU was just cardiac stuff but at my interview they assured me that they see all types of patients. Any advic...

i can give you some information on birmingham area hospitals. i just graduated last month and start my new job on monday. i interviewed at several places before making my decision so this info. is current. uab new grads starting pay is 18.60 and ...

Why do some states not participate in quick results? I called my BON today and they told me 2 to 6 weeks Sorry, just needed someone to complain too.

Thanks Suzanne but my state (Alabama) does not even put info. on their website. It's only for employers that have a pin number. They told me I just have to wait for the results to come in the mail.

Does anyone know what type teaching questions are? I had lots of priority and discharge teaching questions. I know that priority are higher level but what about discharge teaching. Computer shut off at 155. Hope I passed.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 I wish we could find out early results here.

I know how feel. I wish us both luck and just try to do something to get it off your mind. Remember that everyone said we would feel this way.

I am a little confused about different things I have read so if someone could clear it up I would really appreciate it. In triage with LIMITED staff and resources you follow order of Red, Yellow, Green and Black but in an ER where there is plenty of ...

Here are the notes that I have on the subject If you are in a triage situation where there are limited resources and staff think about salvaging more patients. This means if you have 1 patiet who has just stopped breathing, 1 with an open fx, 1 with...

I found the answer thanks.

Only reschedule if you really think you need to. I personally couldn't imagine rescheduling because I know that one week would not make a difference.

Not to be mean so please do not take this the wrong way but I would not be asking people how you will do. I posted something similar the other day about this because I had only done around 1000 questions on Saunders and was scoring 65%. People were...

I know everyone says you should do 3000 or so questions before the NCLEX. I took the hurst review a couple of weeks ago and felt really good. I have been studying that material and answering some questions. I have only done about 800 questions so ...

One other thing I liked about Hurst is they have a DVD specifically for management and delegation. They provide losts of questions on ER triage and prioritizing patients.

There were about 10 different nurses that recommended Hurst review to me so I took it. I loved it! It does seem to miss some stuff but they have a 99% pass rate and everyone that recommended it to me said they only used Hurst. I have not done so g...

rescheduling is not an option, I actually feel ready to take this test. I have been studying alot. It's just discouraging when I do not score so well on the Saunders exams. I have others who have told me that Saunders is harder than the actual NCL...

Hey everyone, My test is scheduled for Sept. 15th. I have been doing 100 questions a day to prepare and I am having a really hard time staying focused while taking these practice tests. I am scared if I get the 265 I'll lose focus. I just have a r...
