  1. NCLEX predictor scores :-\

    anonymous1919 replied to dixiebelleRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They say 60%-70% is a good indicator. Everyone I've talked to who has passed was in that range. I also know people who we're not in that range and failed. That's just my personal experience of 15 or...

  2. Only you and one other person knows...

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My NCLEX exam is tomorrow! Ah! I think I am well prepared but that anxious feeling has finally hit me for the first time. I took 2 "mock" NCLEX exams from ExamCram and scored "Average" on the first...

  4. Need your advise and tips PLEASE

    anonymous1919 replied to November09RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's good to have content review, but you also need to be familiar with the kinds of questions will be on the NCLEX. The kinds of questions you get in say Saunders are content questions... I don't...

  5. Describe your dream LTC

    anonymous1919 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    10 Residents to 1 Nurse, and 5 Residents to 1 CNA. Plus a Shower Aid, Wound Nurse, Unit Secretary, Unit Manager, Acitivities Director, and 1 Activities Aid to 8 Residents. And this would be standard...

  6. Kaplan questions scoring higher when answering faster?

    anonymous1919 replied to DjKaeDae's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe when you're sitting there taking a long time it's because you're over thinking... and you second guess what you thought, and end up choosing another answer? Because everytime I change an answer,...

  7. What does verification date mean?

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I looked myself up on the BON and this is what it says: Provisional License #: *********** Designation: Licensed Practical Nurse Applicant Status: Active Issued on: 25-AUG-10 Expiration...

  8. Only you and one other person knows...

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck! I would say the mock ExamCram and Kaplan questions were dead on the same kind and veryyyy similar. So if you're scoring "average" or "above average" like I did (thats how ExamCram scored...

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took practice tests today. They say you shouldn't study the day before but I couldn't help myself... I agree though, if I don't know it now.... well I won't know it by 9am tomorrow. Ah! I do...

  11. Left after 1 quarter of nursing school, now having second thoughts...

    anonymous1919 replied to condanchri's topic in General Students

    You should go back... maybe even possibly get your NP. But I think you'll enjoy nursing because you do get to put the pieces together. You are with the patient all day, you're watching them heal,...

  12. "Risk for" nursing dx vs actual

  13. Taking the Nclex Pn for the 7th time, has anyone else been through this????

    anonymous1919 replied to sky2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would get some sort of review course. Someone I know did the online Hurst review... it was cool. Online lectures and tests and what not... I am not sure if it is available for PN... but I believe...

  15. My NCLEX-PN review books: what are yours?

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in General Students

    I have not yet taken the NCLEX-PN.. is it insane to say I'm not that scared of it? I wasn't always confident, but I know with my review books, faith and hard work I will pass the NCLEX-PN, and I will...

  16. any suggestions ?

    anonymous1919 replied to heyxstatik's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would. My first reason is health reasons. Hospitals have lots of things in them you don't want to take home with you. So you should have a pair of shoes just for the hospital that you can take off...

  17. What does a LPN & RN make their first year?

    anonymous1919 replied to scott.andrew's topic in LPN to RN

    It's the fact that RN's have 2+ years of schooling and more educational background which means they SHOULD be able to identify issues with a patient faster than an LPN and also have a more in depth...

  18. Becomming an LPN - and dealing with "helpful" advice

    anonymous1919 replied to PunkinMommy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I've heard all of that too. I say this: LPN's are being phased out of hospitals. It changes all the time. I had a teacher who went to LPN school in the 70's and they were saying the same thing....

  19. So I was fired...

    anonymous1919 replied to Millergirl0802's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I loved this. I worked weekends so the only problem I saw about this was people would show up 10-15 minutes late and the aide who had to wait would just leave or already be gone sometimes! But I have...

  22. Starting nursing school in January, how to prepare?

    anonymous1919 replied to apoppyfield's topic in General Students

    Yes, I think you should get several all from different authors. The first NCLEX book I bought was Saunders and it is a really good book. It also has a CD in the back and that is loaded with tons of...

  23. Starting nursing school in January, how to prepare?

    anonymous1919 replied to apoppyfield's topic in General Students

    1.) Buy NCLEX books. I'd buy 3-4 if you can afford it. In my Saunders book the 1st Chapter (I believe it's that chapter) teaches you how to read questions so that you can answer them correctly. This...

  24. Fundamentals Test Review

    anonymous1919 replied to Tcap40's topic in General Students

    Buy more NCLEX books. It is def worth the investment... there are only so many ways a question can be asked... if you do enough questions on a subject.. you'll run into nearly every way it can be...

  25. LPN school, done! Job hunt... ahhh, help!

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know how helpful it is to post here. I don't know if I should post this where nurses are already working so I can gather ideas... but I figure this post would be moved here eventually, so I'm...
