I got mt ATT in less than a week, I live in MA

there are free qtrainers online though, if you are interested in looking at them.

only part of the online and classroom review courses. not included in thier books. did you buy an online review course or their book?

Im using the Kaplan on Demand, and they have levels of questions that you can practice, in addition to a question bank from level 1 to 7, and the questions get harder as you go along. and from what I have read and heard so far the qtrainers 6 and 7 ...

Taking mine on June 19. I am using Kaplan. finished doing questions in sauders and LaCharity in April. just focusing on Kaplan. will be posting my scores for the qtrainers soon. I graduated two weeks ago and I have been staying at my gradmas summer c...

I talke to some past students n the secretary at our school who is responsible for sending our stuff to the BON n she said she sends them as soon as we are done n it has taken past students max of a week to get authorization for the may graduates but...

Hi Inori I understand your point about not rushing into it cos I may have to wait 45 days if I don't pass. but I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and now I have my dream job as a critical care RN been offered to me on condition that I ...

Hi lizzyreg thanks for your advice

thanks for the feedback

I Have been at both a private nursing school and a public nursing school. I transfered from the private nursing school because it was too expensive, and my father got a job at the pulic university and I had to pay only half the tuition so I tranfere...

Great question for the school you ve been accepted

if you have work study, apply for a job on campus, like at the library where you can actually study while working. if you get your CNA when you start your nursing classes, get a CNA job, cos you will learn alot by being in a hospital environment.

the most expensive sethoscope on the market. tired of cheap sethoscopes that keep falling apart.

Under the direction of an RN, I think CNAs can apply restraints. CNAs who work in psychiatric hospitals are esp. trained to do restrains in all forms, and are allowed to put the patient in restraint if they are in danger. But under "normal" circums...

get a good nursing care plan book. I use the one by Meg Gulanick and Judith Myers and I would recommend it. you can go to amazon and search for nursing care plan and that is the first book that will show. It gives detailed generic care plan based o...

I think since you are doing your ADN and will be done in less than a year, it would be good to buy an nclex review book and try and do the questions on the chapters you will cover in the exam. Are you using Smeltzer for you med-surg? If so the book ...

alot of people seem to do very well with kaplan (or at least the q-bank). also Lecharity, and saunders are good.

Congrats to all of you? what resources did you use, and how did you study if you don't mind sharing?

ltaylor781 care to share how u prepared for the nclex?
