Google for practice tests like these: NLN PAX -- Practice Test 1 | Word Dynamo You get good at tests by practicing taking tests. I swear that the HESI and PAX had almost exactly the same English test on each.

I took HESI and PAX and aced both, but I am an adult and I was taught by the old rote methods, not whatever half-fast thing they must be using nowadays. What areas are you weak in? I took the PAX and HESI at age 50 and it had been a long time since...

My sister is in NICU. She went to Pitt and did clinicals and her first job at McGee Women's Hospital. That's how she got her early start in NICU. She relocated when she married and had to take a FT job at an area hospital, and as I recall, it was...

Note: I didn't finish RN school, and I'm not an R.N. But I'm good at school, in general. I was accepted to 4 of 5 programs that I applied to and had stellar test scores, but I'm a sci/tech/manufacturing git-er-done type and found patient care too...

Finish the sociology degree because you are almost done with it. Look at the 2nd degree accelerated programs, but they are expensive. It's going to take at least 24 months to do that. It will also take probably 24 months to complete a AD RN or diplo...

One of my nursing cohort finished her diploma R.N. program and passed her NCLEX, decided she didn't want floor nursing, and found a job in psych nursing at a facility for juveniles. As a new-grad nurse. She has a baccalaureate degree (I think, but...

ImThatGuy was on here back in 2010 or so. Finished a BS RN degree and moved on. But you might get something from his posts and threads. https://allnurses.com/emergency-nursing/getting-assigned-ed-493662.html His history: After he completed the...

What will those stupid 20-something HR lackeys think of next! Probably ANYONE who has a BSN has been through a 4 year program, LOL. It's usually one year now to complete the college prereqs for getting into AS or diploma RN school + apply + tes...

The McGraw Hill nursing pre-entrance exam study guide is good and it covers PAX, HESI, and other tests. Truthfully, I found all of those tests a lot alike. Grammar and English and reading comprehension are about the same on all those pre-entrance te...

Pick your state for low in-state tuition is a possibility: http://trends.collegeboard.org/sites/default/files/college-pricing-2013-full-report.pdf, page 17 ranks the states low to high

re. "I understand research, can interpret statistics, have an improved viewpoint regarding ethical dilemmas, and function better as part of the interdisciplinary team" -- That's the benefit of an additional amount of college-level coursework. ...

18 months is a long time for an LPN program. You can find 12 months ones. If you can relocate, then maybe you can even find a community college one that you can complete in 2 semesters. Here's one to look at: Community College of Beaver County -...

The OP said: Not all RN schools / degree programs look at the same prereq classes. Or at all the college coursework. Some may only look at what 3-5 specific, so if she had Bs in geneds and As in the essential classes that the schools uses for ad...

English and grammar skills are important. Even in diploma school or associate degree, you have to write an ungodly amount of papers. It only gets worse when you go for the BSN that hospitals are requiring now. Nursing is a women's profession, an...

I had this thread bookmarked, was cleaning out old bookmarks, and thought I'd give an update. The OP posted a followup, in which he states that he went to a different program, it was very well designed and organized, and rationales were given for ...

Really? I know a woman who is an experienced nurse, a BSN from the 1980s. But if she were ordered back to school today, she could not do it! Why? Because there's no time and no money for it! She is sole income for her family. She works a reg...

I bolded that part. And for modern students who are highly accustomed to online learning and self-teaching, that may be no challenge whatsoever. The flexibility to do it at whatever hours suit YOUR schedule, and do it at night if you're a night ow...

The Zantax 50 mg is riding along in 100 ml of normal saline. But for this problem, your instructions are to infuse the 100 ml of solution in 15 minutes. And the drip factor is 15 gtt/ml. So all you need to worry about is how to set the drop rate ...

I doubt that you'd find any night school for RN program. Most of those are days, 6 or 7 AM to 3 pm. There are clinicals to do, and those are a day-shift thing. Some programs, like the diploma school I went to, actually have a few clinicals that...

Depending on what the BS degree is, lots of it could transfer into the 4-year BS RN degree program. Or, you could do an associate degree RN and immediately go on to an online RN to BS RN program, in which case lots of you gen ed credits and such shou...

I took the PAX in 2010, so content may have changed. But at that time, I used the ATI HESI preadmission test study guide, and the "generic" nursing pre-entrance exam study guide published by McGraw Hill. I used a GED math review book to refresh my...

^ That might be intended as sarcasm, but it's actually good advice if you like OR. I've talked to three experienced CRNAs who said they are very glad that they went to CRNA school, even though it was difficult and expensive. They said they would ...

I think that all of the dissing of diploma and AD RN nursing programs needs to stop. A lot of the opinions are based on old outdated curricula that haven't been taught in a couple of decades (we hope, LOL). It's impossible to paint every non-BS-de...

I don't mean to discourage you. But that program is LPN to associate degree RN. So, first, look at the job market for associate degree RNs. Many places don't hire new-grad associate degrees anymore, and lots are giving their associate degree RNs ...

1. All laser printers can do duplex (2 sided) printing. Some will do it automatically. All other, you can do manually. Instructions should be in the printer manual. You print the even pages first, then take that stack out, flip it around per ...
