  1. Bullied by Clinical Instructor

    Absolutely! Like I said, I'm just curious to hear the other side of the story when extreme things happen for seemingly no reason. I absolutely know that instructors sometimes target particular...
  2. NCLEX- how many attempts is too many?

    I feel kind of bad saying this but the NCLEX isn't THAT hard. Really, most of my nursing school exams were much harder. I think every one of my classmates has passed, most at 75 questions—and...
  3. Bullied by Clinical Instructor

    I'd love to hear the other side of this story. Not that I doubt the OPs interpretation of events. It's just that I sometimes read about people being bullied by clinical instructors and the description...
  4. I had an instructor who locked the door like that. There were a couple of instances where people were locked out and they knocked and she let them in, but it put an embarrassing spotlight on them, so...
  5. Hurst or Kaplan

    It does help to do a lot of questions, as many as possible. I did not use Kaplan during school, but used it to prepare for NCLEX. I have classmates who used it all during nursing school and they said...
  6. I just finished nursing school and used youtube quite a lot for learning/studying and I never happened across one of these videos. This is the first I'm hearing about them. Then again, I never...

    This actually scares me. Is this what we have to look forward to?
  8. Starting clinicals in ADN program?

    In our first semester, We had lab for a few weeks (maybe 3 or 4) then started in the
  9. I just finished nursing school and I can tell you that one of the worse things you can do is look around and compare yourself to others. For one, you really have no idea what is going on in their...
  10. PSC is going through a lot of changes right now, one of which is they have recently changed their admissions standards, with the idea of making it more selective. I'm not sure if this applies to...
  11. That email you got was actually friendly. If you have a problem with that email, I wonder what you would think of some of the emails we got from extremely strict clinical
  12. Help me! Hurst review online course for Hesi Exit?

    I used the Hurst Review and practice questions on the evolve site to prepare for the HESI exit exam and I
  13. Any 3rd semester advice???

    Third semester was the toughest semester for my classmates and me. Our school really stepped up the expectations, especially in clinical. It was helpful to brush up on my skills, both through practice...
  14. Nursing Course (theory) - 4 Hours a week!?

    Where I went to school we had 4 hours of lecture per week, generally. The instructors never covered all of the material. We were expected to read and self study. In my first semester, we had one day...
  15. Finished Nursing School totally sane

    Congrats! Feels great, yes? I'm working on Kaplan too and testing in January. Like you, I graduated from nursing school with marriage and family and sanity intact. I graduated with a 4.0 and had no...
  16. As someone else has already stated, you can take the NCLEX in any state you want. It's just a matter of where the results go, or rather, where you apply for licensure. It does not matter where you...
  17. Nursing School Hard???

    The academics will most likely not stump you. The hoops may be another story. But it's likely you'll learn to jump and navigate the obstacle course and get through it fine, especially since you have...
  18. Done! Time to graduate.

    I got my ATT much quicker than I anticipated - 7 days after graduation! I don't want to wait to long to test but I also want to have a minute to study. So I scheduled my exam accordingly. Suffice it...

    Don't cross your clinical instructor. Be
  20. Done! Time to graduate.

    Congrats to you! I can relate. I graduated last week and took Kaplan this week. I've pretty much been on cloud nine. Can't believe I made it. It was a hard road, that's for sure. Looking forward to...
  21. Dealing with Anxiety

    I had a lot of anxiety during nursing school. I was pretty miserable and stressed just about the whole time. I didn't take meds. I sucked it up and powered through it somehow, but I always felt on the...
  22. Passing end of semester HESI

    I think it's very important to do practice questions throughout nursing school. I did thousands. Then in the last half of my last semester, I did almost 4,000 practice questions because it was...

  24. What are thoughts on Simplenursing.com ?

    I wouldn't pay what he is asking. I did look at some of his free videos on youtube. *shrugs* They helped minimally on certain topics during my earlier
