I was averaging about 75% on my practice tests. I did not bother opening any books anymore. I just keep reading the rationale of each right answer when I review the questions. I picked up a lot that way. I took my test Feb 3 and it stopped at 75 ...

She's one of the nicest instructors. Just do your part and you should be ok. People tent to fail 108 because they put their guard down after surviving 104.

I have volume 1. Idk about vol. 2.

Same deal but she uses her lectures so it helps but still read the book. If you attend her tutorial she pass around illustrations. She was the one I think that recommended the memory notebook.

Invest in a study guide called "memory notebook of nursing" by claborn. Mr O uses these illustrations a lot. He tend not to use his lecture for his tests so I relied on the the book and the memory notebook illustrations to prepare for the tests.

I'm sorry but I don't remember if it was accumulated or just based on the last lecture. I'm pretty sure they will tell you. BTW, I took the management finals today and now it's finally OVER!!!!!! I already passed the HESI so I'm just waiting for t...

Study for your finals. It's the same with hesi.

NCLEX questions won't hurt. You can also invest in evolve reach Comprehensive review for the NCLEX-RN examination book. It helped me a lot. And once you're done with school then you can use it for your review:)

We have our own discussion forum in WebCt, you'll see all the tips, complaints, advises, etc that pertain to the nursing program in Oakton. Welcome to the club!

@ luvs637: how's 104 treating you? Good luck on IV skills validation on Monday.

You need to attend an open house so that you can submit your choices of clinical sites. They'll have a draw and hopefully you get to pick your first choice. I have an advise though...try not to pick Lutheran. They had an incident there with a stud...

I have to take both Microbio and A&P II last summer so that I don't have to take them together with my Nursing subjects for the next semesters. I work full time so i have to take microbio in the morning then go to work then a&p at night. Th...

Here's an online NCLEX 3500. Save that $1000.00 and just buy a cup of coffee for the person sitting next to you in your class. http://nursing.slcc.edu/nclexrn3500/question.do;jsessionid=7CC16333EF01AE8A3BB3E2DA131E2573

Your instructor might be right in terms of K+ being the most abundant cation in the cells, you might call it "storage," but it does'nt just stay there as a reserve, it works 24 hours a day trying to keep its balance with sodium. So it is not like ...

At my school, after you have finished your first year of nursing, you can take an LPN class (5 credit-hour, offered during the summer), once you pass that, then you can take the LPN board exam.

Sometimes obesity is not a lifestyle choice but a medical condition. Some people just can't metabolize those french fries better than others.

Don't rule out study groups completely. It might not work for some students but it does help with some. If somebody has a wrong idea, they are normally corrected by the group. Attending a study group is also a way to assess yourself on what you kn...

You're preparing for it by putting what you have learned into application. The questions are mostly application type. You're gonna use your critical thinking skills to answer each question. Some questions are scored higher than the others. Just re...

Good luck! I'm pretty sure you're in. You have a pretty high score.

Small world indeed. @careteam 70, which Co. were you, I was with Wpns Co. then was transferred to H&S due to my computer skills. I joined you guys just right after desert storm. (We were guarding K-Bay against any Iraqi amphibious invasion the...

OOH RAH! Dragon Gunner reporting. 2nd Bn, 3rd Marines, 1991-1994. ETG (graduation) Dec 2011!

It was on Mon, Tues, and Wed the week before classes. I also asked somebody who started for fall 2010 and they also had it on Mon-Wed, the week before classes.
