  1. Worst/Best thing a nursing instructor ever said to you?

    StarBrownRN replied to CryandNurseOn's topic in General Nursing

    "You are wasting your time here. You need to go to Law

  2. Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, MD

    StarBrownRN replied to nursegirl991's topic in Maryland Nursing

    My only real experience at Holy Cross is as a patient. The have a Peds ER, with it's own triage nurse--which is pretty cool. It's also a really popular place for childbirth--their postpartum unit is...

  3. Did you pass the NCLEX RN?

    StarBrownRN replied to PayitForwardHolistic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was able to do Kaplan and ATI, due to the generosity of others. And that was the only reason I accessed them; however, after doing Kaplan I realized something. I didn't know what I didn't know....

  4. Kaplan content review videos

    StarBrownRN replied to futurefotorn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used the videos as a supplement, especially the question review ones. I just listened to them like lectures. It was helpful for me because it helped me realize the pieces that weren't taught or...

  5. Overwhelmed about NCLEX!

    StarBrownRN replied to mg33's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX today (got the good pop-up, PTL) and I was very nervous and unsure. I felt so stressed that my menses came on early, during the test. I'd already rescheduled once because I felt...

  6. I can't face 265 ?'s again....help!!!

    StarBrownRN replied to cljacksonrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I tried both ATI and Kaplan. Kaplan seemed to better prepare me for the test; the questions seem to more closely mirror what I saw on NCLEX--with some notable exceptions (generic drug names only and...

  7. Over 2 months delay in college submitting students credentials to state

    StarBrownRN replied to nurse_232's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not entirely sure if there is any recourse on your part for what could be deemed a clerical error, as the school is not legally obligated to submit the paper work within a specified timeframe. I can...

  8. The Excelsior College Distance Learning ADN Program: Facts, Answers, and Links

    StarBrownRN replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior College

    Our state (MD) BON no longer allows EC grads to sit for the NCLEX. (Maryland Board of Nursing - Nursing Education) I also heard that Virginia, a neighboring state, has done the same. Do you know...

  9. Enter your TEAS V Scores here!!

    StarBrownRN replied to Future Nurse's Wife's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It all depends on what you already know. I took it with no studying whatsoever and got an 87. It was administered to my class without advance notice (yeah, really). However, there were some...

  10. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    StarBrownRN replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just want to know: where are these 2 year ADN programs? In my area, all of the ADN programs take 3 years to complete and the RN-BSN programs are 2-3 semesters. Even with most of my pre-reqs taken...

  11. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    StarBrownRN replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Most of the Elsevier books are available for full purchase in VitalSource format. For some reason, there are certain titles that are rental only. If you need something that's on CourseSmart, try...

  12. Enter your TEAS V Scores here!!

    StarBrownRN replied to Future Nurse's Wife's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Wow! We received the same score. Program Type: ADN Attempt: 1 of 1 Adjusted Individual Total Score: 87.3% ATI Academic Preparedness Level: Advanced Mean - National: 64.3% Mean - Program: 64.9%...

  13. Bowie state university vrs morgan state university, which one would people recommend

    StarBrownRN replied to Nursing student 2's topic in Maryland Nursing

    If you are looking specifically for an HBCU, consider Coppin State. I think their nursing department is somewhat underrated; it's actually a solid program. They recently underwent an overhaul and...

  14. ASN or BSN route? confused! :/

    StarBrownRN replied to babyv15's topic in General Students

    Really, it all comes down to $$. Getting a BSN takes 4 years in any scenario (4 years at a university or 3 years at a community college plus one year at a university--many RN to BSN programs are only...
