  1. Do you take NCLEX in state you graduate from or where you want to work?

    nurse simmy replied to cacurlytop's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The director of my nursing program suggested applying for a license in the state our school is in. One of the students planned to move to another state within weeks of graduation. It was recommended...

  2. Why your school pushes Kaplan and do you need it for NCLEX?

    nurse simmy replied to KATRN78's topic in General Students

    We took ATI during school, and we did the week long Kaplan review between the last day of class and graduation. All fees were included in our tuition. No opt out option was made available. If we...

  3. What is the passing score for your school?

    nurse simmy replied to KaylaRN2013's topic in General Students

    83% is passing, 82.9 isn't. Tests are 80% of the grade, homework 10%, and quizzes 10%. We had a quiz every day, unless it was a test day. Quizzes could not be made up, it was an excellent way to...

  4. Does this job sound like a scam?

    nurse simmy replied to glenlorie's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you will be responsible for cashing that check, buying all that stuff, sending funds to the agent, then watch the check bounce. :hpygrp: (not really happy, just found a "boinging" smiling)...

  5. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

    nurse simmy replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine Monday. 26 of my 75 questions were SATA. It took me 45 minutes to take the test, and now I get a "results on hold" pop up. :-( Which I guess is better than a credit card pop up, but not...

  6. Confidence?

    nurse simmy replied to sbostonRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed the NCLEX-PN with 85 questions. Took me about 30 minutes, and I thought it was one of the easiest tests I have ever taken. The staff at the Pearson center were surprised at the fact that I...

  7. Graduated

    nurse simmy replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    It feels so weird to be watching TV on a Sunday night, and thinking about going to work tmro instead of doing homework. Graduation was Friday, and my family is really happy, they are looking forward...

  8. Who pays for your pin?

    nurse simmy replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    We pay for the pin out of our fees, I'm assuming. It isn't a line item on the school's invoice. We haven't talked about the pins during any meetings, so I don't have a clue what they will look like,...

  9. Kindle 3 or the Nook Color

    nurse simmy replied to heavenbound's topic in General Students

    I went with the Kindle, and I love it. I can read outside with it. I am assuming the Nook would have the same problems as my phone does. I can't see the screen in bright light. Also, I have a hard...

  10. A Pre-nursing Student who believes...

    nurse simmy replied to digoe74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But, unfortunately nursing school is not one of those

  11. i have no idea what im supposed to be doing

    nurse simmy replied to TinaRM's topic in General Students

    During LPN school, we had one patient and did total patient care. There were many times we would get done, and be looking for stuff to do. This year, in the RN program we have 2 patients, and still...

  12. Countdown to Pinning

    nurse simmy replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in General Students

    105 days, pinning in the AM, graduation that night. I have a countdown calendar on my phone, somebody asks me everyday how much is left.

  13. nursing specialties

    nurse simmy replied to sj73201's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm one of the few in my class who does not want to go into ICU, or ED, or even Peds. I absolutely loved the psych rotation, but I am also drawn to hospice. So much of what we've been learning is...

  14. Does anyone take supplements to stay healthy?

    nurse simmy replied to ncbutterfly's topic in General Students

    There is a liquid fish oil by Baleans available in health food stores. It is thick and tastes like lemon meringue pie. For real, no aftertaste at all.

  15. CONFUSED...I thought 1 yr into a 2yr RN program, you can b LPN???

    nurse simmy replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    My school is a 1+1 program. The first 2 semesters and a summer session are the LPN year. Then we have to pass the NCLEX-PN to continue to the second (RN) year. About 10 years ago, they required...

  16. Starting my last semester of nursing school and I'm TERRIFIED!

    nurse simmy replied to Dazglue's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your concern. I do really appreciate it, I did a lot of soul searching before I took this step. I've always had issues with insomnia, nursing school just lit the fire under me to do...

  17. What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

    nurse simmy replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    One of my instructors has one of these. She uses it everyday between her office and the classroom (a distance of about 100 feet) Yes this is the same instructor that gives us the case studies....

  18. What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

    nurse simmy replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    I take my books because our classes are 4 hrs long. When the instructor gets tired of talking she hands out case studies for us to do. We never know when she is going to do this, and we need our...

  19. Nothing left to do....

    nurse simmy replied to texasmum's topic in General Students

    I'm 44 years old, start my last semester next Tuesday. I have been just hanging out enjoying my last vacation (5 weeks of semester break) for the foreseeable future. On the other hand, I can't wait...

  20. Starting my last semester of nursing school and I'm TERRIFIED!

    nurse simmy replied to Dazglue's topic in General Students

    Back to the topic at hand I'm going into my last semester, and I'm terrified, also. My doctor put me on anxiolytics and sleepers to help. We have a new clinical instructor who's a trauma nurse, and...

  21. May 2011 graduates..nervous for last semester?

    nurse simmy replied to gaspasser2b's topic in General Students

    I have been having irrational fears of failing just before graduation. I'm an A student, but find clinicals very stressful (I don't like being watched when I do things). The coursework is really...

  22. A Couple General Nursing School Questions

    nurse simmy replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    There are 24 students in my nursing class. We all have the same classes at the same time. A master calendar was given to us at the beginning of the semester, because sometimes the class times will...

  23. LPN and RN-What does this mean?

    nurse simmy replied to handyrn's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, my LPN will be changed to inactive when I get my RN. I had a professor tell me that when she is ready to retire, but wants to work "just a little bit" she will put her RN on inactive...

  24. What do your hands say about you?

    nurse simmy replied to AltaEnfermera's topic in General Nursing

    They would prolly decide that I'm OCD (even though you couldn't get farther from the truth) because my hands are cracked and bleeding from washing a million times a day.

  25. How long does it take my lpn license to show up on the bon?

    nurse simmy replied to Duce's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the state you are in. I took it on a Friday, received my letter from the state saying I passed on a Tues, and saw my name on the website on Wed. This is
