  1. Best place to order scrubs online?

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

    So untrue. (I am aware this is a old post. I couldn't resist putting my 2 cents in.)
  3. Kaplan or Hurst Review?

    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...
  4. What does your username mean?

    CommaRN = , RN
  5. 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

    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

    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

    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. 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?

    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...
  11. NS Wish List

    Anti-Aging Cream (assuming it actually works!) Starbucks gift card valid for the whole duration of NS New Drug-Med/Pathology Application for handheld device (iphone, palm, etc.) NCLEX-RN Review books - aids in studying (short cut to important informa...
  12. Single mom seeking advice

    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

    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...
  14. Saunders 2010

    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

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

    I tackled SATA as TRUE or FALSE questions. I read the question and read the option to select and asked myself... True or False? This helped make the SATA questions less intimidating to me. On the actual NCLEX-RN, I breezed through the SATA...
  17. took my nclex rn today....

    Good Luck!!!
  18. How many?

    California is unlimited... it appears...
  19. To take the nclex review class or not?

  20. hurst review, yes or noway

    I found HURST helpful in starting off my review. It made information easy to understand. I recommend the HURST online because it is taught by the creator of HURST and you can go at your own pace. I first attended the live review but it had a lot of...
  21. Saunders 2010 or Kaplan's RN Course Book

    I found both books to be very helpful. Saunders solidified content and Kaplan (plus Qbank) helped develop critical thinking skills/strategies to answer questions. Although I did not utilize the decision tree during my exam... I found the practice q...
  22. Carrington College or UNR?

    Carrington College (formerly Western Career College) has been linked to scams. I advise researching the school's track record more in depth and investigate the negativity that surrounds the school. CAUTION: For profit schools leave students with ...
  23. new nclex-rn passer: LICENSE

    I am licensed in California. I first became aware of my license number when I viewed my name on the California BRN website to check if I passed about 2 days after taking the NCLEX-RN. I received my RN license card and Certificate in the mail exactl...
