I happened to find this site again and looking through my profile it seems that I haven't posted anything since I first passed the NCLEX. It's crazy to think how much has changed in this short 2.5 years since I first claimed the title of RN. Here ...

I just took the certification exam today (and passed). I downloaded the AMSN app on my phone and iPad, they had like 250+ questions with rationales, and I believe you could break it down by body system. I also purchased a few test packs from CMSRNpr...

After what seems like years of beating my head against the wall, struggling to pull myself together everyday....... I took the NCLEX today!!!!! 75 questions.....Came home and got the "good" pop up doing the pearson vue trick. I have to say the one th...

Hi All, I'm not exactly new here I've been lurking, absorbing, reviewing alot of information on here and I finally have a question of my own regarding a nursing diagnosis. Slight background of situation: Pt. had infected sebacious cyst on the back o...

While I didn't read the other posts yet as I'm sitting here on a break and don't have time, but here's my $0.02.... I have a degree in Computer Information Systems,as well as a degree in Criminal Justice.... Got both degrees due to being young and no...

I hesitate to answer that because I do not want you to get the wrong idea, or take the wrong approach. The book is 1283 pages. I will say, I probably read about 300 pages, mostly focused on areas that I felt weaker in, had questions about, noticed I ...

copied straight from my report: adjusted individual total score: 80.0% ati proficiency level: level 3 mean - national: 63.3% mean - program: 64.0% percentile rank - national: 99 percentile rank - program: 99 make no mistake about it though, this was ...

Do what works for you, it's the only way to get through school..Being that you're in your first semester, I think you'll eventually see that you change as well. It's fundamentals, right now it's memorizing and regurgitating. For some people they do...

I had the luxury of taking the Adult Med Surg ATI today.... Needless to say I studied all weekend, 12 hours Sat. and 12 hours Sun... Mostly took practice tests, all of the codes that I had I took them, read the rationales both the correct answers and...

So, I've finally made it to the place I once thought would never get here. I'm moving on to role transition (after I pass my huge ATI test next Monday.....here's to being positive). Hopefully I'm not looking too far into the future, but I feel conf...

I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through. I know the joys I'm feeling about my pending granduation in March, but as I go into role transition it's also a stern reminder for me to be careful and think about everything that I'm doing. As ...

CONGRATS! Hoping to join your ranks in March....It can't come soon enough

Nursing school is not easy by any stretch of the imagination. I'm going into my last bit, entering role transition. Every school is different in terms of how they stagger their class load, but the content is essentially the same throughout accredit...

It's all in what kind of student you are and how you learn best. Pharm is one of the few nursing classes that unfortunately is based on memorization. Note cards, write it out 100 times, learn to associate them with things that will make you remember....

There's only ONE person in this world that you can control, and that is yourself. Try as you might you can't control anyone else, nor can you please everyone. Granted I'm still a nursing student until march, I have had plenty of experiences in othe...

Yes to the depth. It's in there just mixed in too close with the rest. 2.5 x 2 x 2.5cm I personally don't like Risk for diagnosis as they are. Been preached at about them too many times I try to stay away from them. And personally you have my hea...
