  1. How to correctly round the number according to KAPLAN?

    MissHaleyDawn replied to Gena_g72 at yahoo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't tested yet, I test next week (yikes!). It will be my first try with NCLEX. I'm worried, but also trying not to stress. All my friends but one (she'll be testing two days before me) have...

  2. How to correctly round the number according to KAPLAN?

    MissHaleyDawn replied to Gena_g72 at yahoo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I actually emailed Kaplan about a similar question. It was rounding for a pediatrics med question that I disagreed with. I was right and they're apparently working to fix the question. Email the...

  5. Do I have to take the NCLEX in the state I graduated from?

    MissHaleyDawn replied to mommynurse11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX is a national exam, you can take it anywhere. But I think the license that would be distributed to you after you pass will be from the state you are registered as a resident of. If you're...

  6. KAPLAN's diagnostic test!!!!!!!

    MissHaleyDawn replied to mzoptimistic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't tested yet, but for pharm I'm memorizing categories/drug classes, not killing myself trying to know every single one. The pharm lecture from Kaplan is great, IMO - it's really long though,...

  7. Most common meds on the NCLEX?

    MissHaleyDawn replied to scm0890's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't tested yet, but my professor's always stressed learning suffixes in addition to broad categories of medications - that it will be impossible to know every single drug, but that classes and...

  8. My NCLEX Story

    MissHaleyDawn replied to JKrahn15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. 265 questions, 3.5 hours and PVT...

    MissHaleyDawn replied to drbettner's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  10. NCLEX Kaplan Practice Scores

    MissHaleyDawn replied to Inori's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. My first CNA job!

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

  14. What was your first year of nursing school like?

    MissHaleyDawn replied to linzjane88's topic in General Students

    I quickly learned I had to be flexible with my schedule - and so did my family! My time management skills grew about ten fold. And I'm pretty sure my hand hates me from all the notes I took in just...

    MissHaleyDawn replied to Lilbit's topic in General Students

  16. SMELL

    MissHaleyDawn replied to klt324's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  17. Job Interview Tips?

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

  19. CNA position as a stepping stone into nursing?

    MissHaleyDawn replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The care you are allowed to give is basic, but getting experience with how to communicate with people is priceless. If you're wanting to do more, you can always look into furthering your CNA...

  20. New nursing student (questions)

    MissHaleyDawn replied to Selfrespectforwomen's topic in General Students

    Be prepared to have no social life, to have textbooks as BFFs, and make life-time friendships with your classmates. I couldn't have made it without my nursing buddies! Clinicals...oh, clinicals. It's...

  21. What was your first speechless moment?

    MissHaleyDawn replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

  22. How did everyone do in your Spring classes?

    MissHaleyDawn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I passed. One A, one B, and One C. I joke with people saying I wanted the alphabet on my transcripts. Could have easily made that C a B if I hadn't been such a procrastinator early in the semester. Oh...

  23. Cna exam, help me out

    MissHaleyDawn replied to nijaprincess's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
