  2. Passed the NCLEX RN

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I started to watch the review of questions, and I just ran out of time. I found that actually doing them on my own was more important, lol. Hopeful4, I did do the PVT, and I got the good pop up. I'm...

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  5. NCLEX this Friday

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan was a GREAT help. I did every single question in the Qbank, every single sample test, and every QT. Studying those rationales is immensely helpful. For actual test day, feed your brain! Give...

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck on Halloween! Lol. I've been scoring about 59, 60 average as well. Out of 23 sets of 50 questions, three of them have been 50 or 48, the other 20 all 55-70. So that's reassuring, I hope,...

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you so very much! Such excellent advice, I keep telling myself I need to breathe! Lol. When I am taking the practice exams I try to stop around 30 or so, shut my eyes and take 10 deep breaths....

    ExodusPaige66 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am writing a care plan for a 3 week old child diagnosed with pyloric stenosis. We need two diagnoses, 1 short term goal and 1 long term goal, and 3 independent interventions for each goal. I have...

  10. Infant with Pyloric Stenosis care plan - help

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you so much. I do need a more clear goal - getting the information fixated on an infant is very difficult - I think I need to purchase an infant care plan book. Or just not use nutrition as the...

  14. Pharmacology -- help?

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in General Students

    ExodusPaige66 posted a topic in General Students

    I have just started a nursing program for a general RN associates degree, 2nd quarter in. Its a new program at ITT-tech, completely legitimate, 2 year program. I just found out the clinicals I start...

  16. Clinicals in nursing homes?

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I know. Its an RN program. All our exams are written exactly like the NCLEX to prepare us for it, so hopefully we wont have any problems with that. But the difficulty getting hired is what I'm...

  17. Clinicals in nursing homes?

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in General Students

    Absolutely, the uncertainty bothers me. I know that they have set up the clinicals for the nursing homes, but what about later in the program? I would really like some clinicals in hospitals too. I...

    ExodusPaige66 replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in General Students

    Its around $40k. I dont have the information on whether or not we do different clinicals each quarter. The nursing chair is being kind of shy on the subject. I believe the school is still trying to...
