I have had a Kaplan NCLEX book for about 4 months and I have been very happy with it. So far I'm about 50/50 which I guess seems pretty good to me, considering some of the questions, there is just no...
Thanks for the info. I had my first exam and got an 85. Wished it would have been higher. I did really well on most sections but the couple of sections I didn't know, I really didn't know them. It...
I have no idea how much of this AP2, that I'm sure I won't remember, I will really need as a nurse or in nursing school. I have been working on my lab for the cardiovascular system...heart anatomy...
Thanks for the replies. I am having a good time with all the homeostatic imbalances we are learning as part of each chapter. I can usually link it all together with what hormone, vitamin, defect,...

txgrl1502- Thanks for the info. You are right about how close Dallas is, guess I never thought about it that way. Just out of curiosity, what is it like to take an honors course? I did take some...

Just out of curiosity, how many do they normally accept? I'm in the area and am planning to apply there next year. I thought I had a good chance, should have 10-11 points but wow, 400 apps...that's...
This is kind of a vent of sorts but I would appreciate any helpful hints. I'm in AP2 right now and I'm finding that I'm getting lost in the details and having a hard time figuring out what I need to...
This is the aspect of nursing that I least look forward to. I'm like you and I really don't want to be the leader. I'm glad to hear they teach this kind of thing in programs though. Good luck with...

Actually heard yesterday, on The View, that it is thought that one of the reasons women live longer than men is because they are releasing some toxins each month. Haven't researched it but I guess...
I start on Tuesday but I have been reading ahead in the book. Cannot think of the book off of the top of my head, I'm sure that will make a difference for you but it's a black (paperback) book with...
I just happened to look through the box of books from last semester. (had checked online after I read your post, yesterday, for the last edition of the Nutrition book and I knew it didn't match mine)....
Can someone please explain the different types of programs available for new nurse grads? I read different posts where new grads are talking about different types of orientation and residency and I...
I have no experience with the book you are going to be using for Nutrition and I haven't taken Micro yet. But I can tell you that for Nutrition, we were also tested over some of the info in the end...
Thank you all for the replies. While I appreciate all that these programs seem to have to offer, I don't know that I could commit to an extended contract, like that. A year might be ok, especially...
I'm already planning my summer schedule and I'm just wondering how many hours others are/have taken during the summer. Last summer was my first semester back in school and was my first summer...
I took AP1 over the whole summer. They do not offer all courses that way, I will have to see what is offered when, when the new schedule comes out. I know they only offered psych, in mini-mesters....
I have seen a couple of recent posts from instructors, asking students, what they could do to help their own students in their programs. I sincerely appreciate your interest in your students and...
Is ATI something to be done on your own time or is part of your course work? It sounds like you are supposed to the tests but do you review the material on your own or is it worked into the program?...
My advice to you is to stay committed to your goals! I started college right out of high school and dropped out a year in because I didn't want to take out student loans and didn't qualify for...
My parents would be the sick child care or emergency pick ups. School kids would be in after school care, for up to an hour or two maybe a day or two out of the week, which would be right by the...
Ok, I got it. I have asked this question a couple of different ways, since I have been a member and I give way too much information, leading to not a lot of response. I have figured out what is...
I'm sorry, I don't have any advice for you but I wanted to tell you that I am rooting for you. This sounds like a very frustrating situation and I hope that you will find the kind of review you need...
coopermke: Thank you for your reply and thank you for the little "pep talk" at the end. I do plan on the RN, no matter what. It's just at my school they only offer the LVN, then RN route. Because...
