Just finished taking NCLEX-RN. It cut off at 75 questions...I think I only knew about 3 of the answers for sure. It was the hardest thing that I've ever taken -- it made HESI seem easy! I am so scared...
Thanks guys! I am seeing a trend with most of the people who took 75 questions and thought it was a monster. I just hope that it works that way for me, too! I did a whole lot of Saunders (from the...

Yay! Congratulations! How do y'all decide where students go for preceptorship? We do a lottery and I'm hoping that there will still be a chance to actually get where I want.... Congrats again!...

Hi! I am in my next-to-last semester in UAH's nursing program! There are a million arguments for ADN vs. BSN and I'm not even going to go there! In my opinion, that's a personal choice =) But, what I...
Thanks for the quick reply! As a soon-to-be new grad, which would you recommend doing FIRST? I have a huge interest in both and I don't want to make a mistake! Thanks again!!!
Hey guys!!! I'm with you!! I graduate in May 06 and I'm hoping for NICU or L&D. It will be a couple of months before I find out where I will get to precept, I REALLY hope that it is one of the...
Hey! I, too, will graduate in May and can really relate to what you are saying. I am fine with procedures - even new ones, but assessment still isn't coming easy to me. I have a really hard time...
