  1. I need some advice,please!

    Pooh Bear RN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am coming upon my first full year of nursing. I have had two jobs within the past year. The first one was the first job offered to me and I felt wayyyyyy in over my head. It was a busy ICU floor. I...

  2. Time frame for job hopping???

    Pooh Bear RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how long must you stay at a job until it is no longer considered job hopping? I have been nursing for just shy of a year and am currently on my second job as a...

  3. Thinking of going back to school

    Pooh Bear RN replied to barbj317's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I graduated from Walters State back in Dec.2010. I currently have a job but it was not my first choice. To be honest it was the only job offered after more than 20 applications. Basicly, the market...

  4. New grads: Any difficulties landing a position in O.R

    Pooh Bear RN replied to nique281's topic in Operating Room

    I graduated in Dec. 2010 from an ADN program and have found it very difficult to even land an interview for an OR position. Most of the hospitals in my area only want to hire BSN grads so as a ADN...

  9. Am I still considered a new grad? Please help.

    Pooh Bear RN replied to Pooh Bear RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you mbarnbsn and onaclearday for your input too. I understand that this is just an interview at this point and not a job offer (which I hope it leads to). I also understand that I am still in...

    Thanks for your help. I really want this job! I was just afraid that once you accept your first job that you are no longer considered a new

  11. Scores On Kaplan Question Trainers

    Pooh Bear RN replied to Amberjo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your scores look good. I felt that the NCLEX reflected trainers 6 and 7 the most. Just take your time on 7 and aim for 60%. Try to relax the day before taking the NCLEX and just do a quick review of...

  12. Kaplan VS. ATI for RN NCLEX prep

    Pooh Bear RN replied to sireneya2011's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would suggest using Kaplan. Tough questions, that I felt were more difficult than NCLEX and the decision tree really helps especially when your completely unsure of an anwser. Best of luck to you...

    Pooh Bear RN replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Clee, the PVT trick seems to be accurate. It worked for me and many others on here. All I did was the PVT trick, when I got the good pop up I told myself that I had passed and decided not to do the...

  14. My NCLEX stop at 75q???...is that good thing or bad thing?

    Pooh Bear RN replied to fusion101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    JMO but I think you can gauge how well you do on NCLEX by the number of alternative style questions you get. Those are considered higher level questions and you have a greater chance at missing those,...

    Pooh Bear RN replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats notsosupernurse! My license number finally showed up yesterday morning on the state board site, so I am officially a RN !!!! I went today to get the pre-employment drug screen and physical...

  16. My first Kaplan QT went horrible, need guidance.

    Pooh Bear RN replied to jbjints's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't stress yourself out so much on the first 3 trainers. Just review the rationals and get used to the Kaplan style questions. The first q trainers you are still getting used to the decision tree...

    Pooh Bear RN replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pumpkin, how did you studied each time? Maybe it would be worth it to fork out a little bit of money now for a review class to help if you haven't already. Kaplan really helped me learn how to anwser...

  19. Kaplan On Demand Help

    Pooh Bear RN replied to Studying~CypressCA's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Go ahead and take the diagnostic test now. It's just used as a starting point or baseline for your knowlege base. It don't really count but is good to see the areas where you are weakest. Think of it...

  20. Kaplan On Demand and content supplementation question

    Pooh Bear RN replied to Studying~CypressCA's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan was the only thing that I used. Watch all of the lessons on demand under the tool box and read the course book. That should give you more than enough content review. The questions are great and...

  21. Kaplan Question Trainer Scores

    Pooh Bear RN replied to Kwillpassnclex13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had a couple of questions that were similar to Kaplan questions. Kalpan did prepare me with the style of question that nclex looks for but the whole time I was taking the exam I felt very unsure...

  22. Kaplan Question Trainer Scores

    Pooh Bear RN replied to Kwillpassnclex13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those are fairly good scores. Just remember that the first 3 Q trainers are based on knowlege and/or comprehension which are the easiest level of questions and Qt 3 has some understanding level...
