1. How long does it take?

   Darre replied to Breh_118's topic in NP Students

   You should figure 4 years to get your RN and 2-3 for the NP. I recommend getting your BSN since most ADN programs still take 4 years, till you get all your prerequisites done. You will need a BSN for entrance into an NP program or spend an extra yea...

   Thanks for checking Speffanie, I am ready to hear ASAP since tickets must be bought and work schedules rearranged.

3. nclex plan ,, plz help?

   Darre replied to shosho99's topic in NCLEX

   What is your schools pass rate? It is a good indicator of how you may do. I think studying is a great idea but I took mine on Jan. 3rd and passed (even have my license). I really didn't study a lot since our school made us do ATI so and had to score ...

4. Freaking out after reading how many people have failed NCLEX!

   Darre replied to nurse2b121212's topic in NCLEX

   Just saw my name posted on my states board of nursing- I'm an RN! Nurse 2b- I thought the nclex was hard because few of the questions felt like they had clear cut answers. I felt like I struggled, yet I passed with 75 questions, go figure! Study wha...

   Took Nclex today, hard but also weird, difficult to study for since I felt many questions where not straight up- Pt is doing this or showing that, what do you do? Anyway, shut off at 75 and got the good pop up on pearsonvue. Feeling good

   I should be studying but here I am on allnurses! I test tomorrow, I am a bit nervous but feel like my school has prepared me and I did well on ATI (98% chance of pass). Could be false confidence, but at this point I,m just clearing up small point of ...

7. Why did you become a nurse?

   Darre replied to guest042302019's topic in Male Students

   My sister is an LPN which I always thought was pretty neat, so when my construction career seemed to be only getting me a worn out body and O.K. money, I went back to school. So for me: Decent pay, interesting work, mobility both geographically and p...

8. Experienced Student Nurses...advice?

   Darre replied to cchesney's topic in General Students

   At my school (and most others) the focus is to prepare you for the NCLEX. That means not just regurgitating info, but critical thinking. So try not to focus on information like; "this bones connected to that bone" but rather understand, as others hav...

9. New Male Nurse

   Darre replied to Leobear73's topic in Male Students

   I'm 41 and will be done with nursing school this Dec. I have a house, wife, mortgages, and a baby on the way but I put my head down and did it. Now when I look up (from having my head down) I can see the finish line...or the starting line as it were...

10. Just took TEAS V! What was YOUR scoreh

    Darre replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in TEAS

    I took the test 1 1/2 years ago, I was really in the dark about what it was, and how important it could be. Our school used it as a way to gain "points" towards acceptance. So thankfully I didn't worry or study, I just took it and did my best. I ende...
