  1. Experience with Clinicals

    7am? You wish. Try 6am and don't be late punk! Fortunately, I did have one rotation where we went 1400-2100. One of my clinical instructors hated getting up
  2. Two year vs 4 yr

    Agree it totally depends on the program. Out of my ADN class of around 80, we maybe had 4 or 5 fail
  3. Nursing Shortage: New Grad or Experienced

    You tell them exactly what you told us. It is your life and you deserve to live it doing something you WANT to
  8. What dilemma? Quitting my job to go to nursing school was one of my favorite days ever. My boss brought me into his office for my weekly berating on the status of my 14 "High Priority" projects and I...
  9. New Grads: What are you doing?

    i) What are you doing to stay current with your nursing knowledge and skills. I just passed the NCLEX so I'm giving my brain a bit of a rest. There remains plenty of opportunity to learn as I...

  11. What is a good score for Kaplan Question Bank?

    Those scores absolutely rock. Keep doing what you are
  12. Rant: Institutional disrespect of students

    Welcome to Nursing School. On the flipside, many students are incessantly whining during nursing school. At times, I was one of them. That means even when you have perfectly valid concerns, your...
  13. CNA very upset

    By not reporting this, you are covering up the abuse of a vulnerable adult. I know it's hard and you don't want to "tattle" but protecting the residents is your first priority. I worked in one of...
  14. Immunizations & nursing school

    Yeah that worked real well against polio. Your approach was tried - before vaccines were developed. People got tired of counting dead
  15. Qbank Score Help

    Keep doing those Kaplan questions and you will be fine. My roommate, bless her heart, barely studied for the NCLEX. I basically nagged her to do a couple qbanks and trainer. She got like 58 percent...
  16. Kaplan Qbank or Qtrainer

    I would suggest contacting classmates who are taking Kaplan and working with them. Maybe if you offered them a little cash they might share some access with you. I had many study partners who took...
  17. Yep, took it June 7, passed in 75 questions. A LOT of SATA and priority questions. You feel like you are guessing on half the test. So far everyone I know of in my class has passed. Two of them went...
  18. New RN's...do you have a job ?

  20. Nrsg student can't find a job...

    You either have to get very lucky or know someone at the facility you want to work at. I was neither so I took a REALLY horrible job as a CNA in one of the worst nursing homes in the country. I...
  21. Unfortunately it is not possible to read every page of every book. But you can skim it. I used the SQ3R method when first addressing the material. Easy to look up anywhere I did the Scan and...
  22. To People Who Have Used Exam Cram:

    I started going through the questions in the book, but I was finding them pretty easy. Then I tried the practice exams on the CD (in test mode) and it was much better and more challenging. When doing...
  23. And I found out today I
  24. I had a whole bunch of SATA. It was starting to frustrate me. On question 74 I was thinking "I hope 75 is NOT a blasted SATA." It was. I think I got it right and the test shut down after
