I'm new to this type of program so I'm hoping someone can tell me how the classes are set up. How soon can you try and test out? Is that process doable? If you don't test out then how long will it take for you to move on to next course in average? im not an E-book person at all. I need a book in my hands to hilight and not a screen. Is there a way you can order actual paperback books for the classes? Thanks.

Thanks for all your help!

Hello. I was asked to present to a toddler class about being a nurse this week. Any idea of how I can explain what nurses do to that age group? I'm also thinking of explaining healthy snacks or doing an activity w one of my tools. We have an arts and craft activity planned after. Any advice would be appreciated!i want the kids to understand and have fun. Thanks

Hello. I'll be brand new in a school nurse role. My previous experience in nursing is adult orthopedics so I'm hoping there are some informative reference guides/books that will prepare me for the different types of illness, signs/symptoms that I will most likely run into as a school nurse. If you are working in this field, please let me know if you've found a useful book or reference (3yr olds-13 year olds). Also, where do I find standard forms that I may need? Any other information would be much appreciative. I'll be the only school nurse for a whole school so I will only get limited information during a short training. I'm excited about this change but I also want to as prepared as I can. Thanks for for any advice!

Hello! I'm a brand new nurse about to start working on a med/surg tele floor and I want to start off as organized as possible! I need help with two things (well probably a million but just two for this post). I would love some help from you, the more experienced nurse. I want to make my own brain sheet but am wondering if you can post yours if you don't mind so I can try and figure out what is helpful and different layouts, etc. ALSO! I'm looking for a sheet (either combined with brain sheet or seperate) to help with areas that I need to chart on, like a little cheat sheet in a way. I feel like I may need something like this in the beginning to help me keep things straight and remember what I need to chart. I'm hoping this sheet will cover the different things I need to remember to write down after my assessments so I can have that to reference while I'm charting. It can also include other areas that I need to remember to check and chart as well. The floor I will work on allows the nurses to use whatever brain sheets they like. Sorry this is long. Thank you for any help or ideas!

Hello! I'm a brand new nurse buying all my supplies for my first nursing job. I see a lot of nurses have small bags (some that zip and look like makeup cases and some that are more square, stand up and are open on top) that they place on their computer on wheels that holds all the needed supplies. If you use one that you like, can you tell me where you got it? I've been looking online but I haven't found any. I would like one that's a material you can wipe down with the wipes. I would also like it to be small enough so it's not taking up all the space and yet can keep the tools organized. Thanks!

I would recommend UWORLD's qbank. Try to do the majority or all the questions and review every rationale. That really helped me! I also did hurst which makes everything a little clearer.

Hello! This is what I did that worked for me. I watched all Hurst videos and filled out the hurst review book a couple months before the exam. Then I would go back and study the book several times. I would also listen to the audio or rewatch a video in my weaker areas. I wanted to rewatch all the videos but I ended up not having enough time. I used Uworld to practice questions. I would try to do 50-100 questions in a day almost every day. I usually did about 60 in a day so I could slowly review every rationale to every question. That really helped me. I did about 1400 questions of the Uworld q bank. Those questions really really helped. I also did a few chapters of the priority delegation in the lacharity book. That book was good too but I was running out of time. I really loved Uworld! Good luck and congrats on your job offer.

I really loved Uworld! It gives you a lot of SATA, delegation and priority type questions. I reviewed every rationale. You said that you're worried you may be a bundle of nerves this time around. The layout of the Uworld screen and color scheme are very very similar to Nclex so that may help with your nerves. One of my friends has huge test anxiety and she said that helped her. Good luck!

Personally, I really liked Uworld! They have a lot of priority, SATA and delegation type questions and the rationales are really good. It also seemed more enjoyable to sit down and do uworld review over any other that I tried.

Congratulations!!!!

Hey, I hope you find out that you did well. Good luck!

Thank you so much Nursebaddie83 for your reply. I really appreciate it. Good luck next month!!!!!

Thanks for responding. I understand but I'm specifically asking if anyone has recently taken their Nclex a third time in FL and got their license. Im trying to see if third time has been good for anyone living in FL. Thx

Hello, i'm trying to find the best study tool for Nclex and recently heard of uworld. I'm a little concerned because it seems so new but maybe that's a good thing. I haven't heard much about it since it is new. I've spent a lot of money on reviews that I didn't find very helpful so I want to research uworld before I spend more money. Here are my questions: 1) for those that used uworld and passed Nclex, did you feel you learned content through uworld practice questions? On their site, they say " With each question, we provide comprehensive, yet concise explanations that teach you whole concepts." If so, were the concepts helpful? 2) did you feel like the questions on uworld prepared you for the questions on Nclex? I would appreciate any other info that pertains to this review. Thanks to to anyone who answers.
