I too can't wait to be done! Were still working our final APA paper. This class has been the hardest for me at least, especially b/c of the group work. On the positive side one more day of this class. YAY!

Each quiz is worth 15%. Nervous about it.

Hey guys, how should we study for the quiz coming up? Any suggestions from past friends? I know this class is tough we barely passed the first assignment questions 1-5. I am so ready to be done with this class.

Hi Emily, I am a nurse with 2.5 years of experience on a tele floor and I have accepted a position in L&D. I also feel I got the job for several reasons like being bilingual, being involved and in school. I'll be transferring soon. Any suggestions for me?

Have you taken nursing research?

I'm taking nursing research soon... Is the material hard to grasp. How is the assignment load?

Can anyone tell me how nursing research is? Is it better to work at the the end of the week. I was told its group work. Any suggestions?

I'd say go for it and check it!! I did when I took NCLEX. Its quick and true.

I am in the RN-BSN program through UTA any feedback with nursing research?

I am in the AP RN to BSN program through UTA and I was wanting feedback on Nursing Research? Any feedback? I'm actually a little scared.

Icurn09 If u ordered ur book online it does come with the access code. I am also starting starting Professional A September 26. We should keep in touch. Email me @ [email protected]

goingCOASTAL Thanks for the response. So it is pretty managable than?

I've started the technical writing class through UTA. It is time consuming because all the the quizes, discussions, papers and like someone said some wks are harder to get through. The class is 5 weeks total and I have one more week left. Right now I am wondering how Professional A & B are through UTA is, I am really nervous actually. Any feedback anyone?

I am taking technical writing through UTA now. I will start Professional Nursing A & B September 26. Any feedback on the amount of homework and overall program?

Hi luckylefty!! How is your internship going? Hope all is well. :)

$23.50 in dallas texas

I'm glad to hear you will be in a med surg floor. I have worked GI/GU for the past 3 1/2 yrs as a patient care tech I wanted something a little different. But you will learn so much and by the time you want to transfer somewhere else you will be well trained on a variety of things. You will get to see plenty of JP drains (Jackson Pratt), wound vac, colostomy, nephrostomies, NG tubes, etc just depending on what med surg department!! Keep me posted on your upcoming internship and I wish you the best of luck!!! Me and my bf just got our first apartment and now where doing furniture hunting, it can get a little intense. But were trying to have fun with it!!! I can't wait to be on the cardiac unit. But I have two wks of orientation.

-luckylefty87 Congratulations, I am glad you found something!! I just started my orientation today. It was ok but long. I have to do 2 wks of it. Im dreading it but I shouldn't complain. I should be happy that I have a job and passed Nclex and now I am an RN! Whoo hoo!! I got hired on a cardiac tele floor how about you? Have fun while you have time..

I found out that I passed my NCLEX rn exam. I studied Davis Q&A 2010. It has the new applied testing stuff that started in April. This book is awesome, that is all I studied. It had plenty of select all which some what prepared me. Stay calm, breath, relax, and go with ur first instinct. Believe in your self and stay positive!! The day before the test try to do things you enjoy and away from your study material. It worked for me.. Good luck!!

lucklefty87 I live in texas and from what I know my classmates and I did not have trouble finding a job. Maybe you should try other cities near by, home health, nursing home, clinics, etc. Stay positve and hang in there. keep us posted

lucklefty87 I took my Nclex rn on June 29 and just found out that I passed. I am very happy. I too did the same prayed in my car, went to the bathroom and tried to stay calm throughout the test and it worked. About two days before my test date I came across your post. And I am very grateful that you posted that infection control mnemonic. I had tons of those those type of questions. Thank you for your POST!! You sure did relieve me

I agree the Davis Q&A book is the best. I did questions from the cd and the book for about 2 1/2 weeks and it worked, I passed NCLEX. I am an now an RN. I took my boards on June 29 and found out my results on the July 1st. This book has very very good questions similar to Nclex. By the way Davis Q&A has a lot of SATA so you can practice and practice. It has over 5000 practice questions. I will definately suggest it!! Other books I had did not have any or few select all that apply. Plus this book is about $45 and it is well worth it.

Never mind i found the mneumonic.. Thanks for the info.

Congrats. Luckylefty87!! You are so inspiring to nurse test takers. I take my test on the 29th of this month and anxiety is starting to kick in. But I will definately try to stay positive and calm at the same time. :) I have a question, what is the infection control mnemonic and what is the meaning behing it? I tried looking for it but just didn't find it.
