2. Foreign Nurses in the US: second class or not

   GoneFishN replied to Corey Narry's topic in International

   So untrue. (I am aware this is a old post. I couldn't resist putting my 2 cents in.)

3. Kaplan or Hurst Review?

   GoneFishN replied to pacey03's topic in NCLEX

   I did both and found them both helpful in their own way. HURST: Easy to understand concepts but not big on content. I did not use the HURST review questions. Yet, I passed the NCLEX-RN without them. KAPLAN: Great for review questions (Qbank) If I h...

5. Do you think Patients would confuse me for a doctor if I'm South Asian and male?

   GoneFishN replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry, I was not familiar with the RN-MD route. I researched it more and it appears to be possible. Still... it is odd.

6. Want a BSN in Philippines

   GoneFishN replied to iscream4u's topic in Philippines

   Hello! I am a US Graduated RN. Just wanted to make a friendly reminder to US people thinking to go to the PI to skip the competitiveness of the USA. I have 2 examples: 1. A former US high school classmate of mine decided she would go to the PI to st...

7. what the heck

   GoneFishN replied to what the heck's topic in NCLEX

   Just to clarify: Those "lucky guesses" people are referring to are actually critical thinking skills. What you are experiencing must be very frustrating. The best advice I was given should I have failed on my first attempt... was to start over a...

8. Nclex pass rate

   GoneFishN replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in NCLEX

   Of course 87% pass rate at the farther cc is ideal but if location/transportation/time/finances is a factor then 75% pass rate at the closer school would be fine with me. I would just hope to put it in myself to make sure I do my part to pass the N...

9. Do you think Patients would confuse me for a doctor if I'm South Asian and male?

   GoneFishN replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

   I had a classmate in nursing school who was of Indian (Asia) descent who had many mannerisms to imply he was pre-med. The unnecessary long white lab coat he used during nursing skills lab/clinical and his high interest in discussing the pathology be...

10. Any good nursing programs in Solano County?

    GoneFishN replied to Goodwin823's topic in California

    Sounds like you are looking for a LVN Program in Solano County? http://www.bvnpt.ca.gov/ Will help in your search for accredited schools. On the website it states, "*CSI Career College Expires : * 5/19/10"? I found that rather odd. I personally...

12. Single mom seeking advice

    GoneFishN replied to 2blessings's topic in California

    From the information you provided... I would suggest staying in Maryland for a while after graduating and work. California RN jobs are hard to come by. I would think jobs in Maryland or other surrounding states would be more plentiful in available ...

13. Kaplan NCLEX-RN review course

    GoneFishN replied to Nickie789's topic in NCLEX

    I did the Kaplan Online Complete (with Qbank). I liked studying at my own pace. Kaplan was well worth it! Great investment! I got mine at a discount because of a online promotion on the Kaplan website. I passed the NCLEX-RN on my first attempt! Goo...

    GoneFishN replied to 4pancakes's topic in NCLEX

    Know your weak areas? Study those first! Have trouble with a system or procedure??? Look it up! Use an additional study tool to help make things stick! Looking at pictures online helped me a great deal with A&P and repetition... Breath of knowl...

15. NCLEX Alternate format help

    GoneFishN replied to New 2 iceeYouRN's topic in NCLEX

    SAUNDERS and KAPLAN had many alternative style questions that helped me get familiar with it... Looked just like it on the actual NCLEX-RN.
