  1. New Grad Resume

    SuperHelper replied to CoolKidsRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would cut the clinical experiences since you had healthcare jobs while in school. That probably trumps the clinicals. I would keep the publications, especially if they are science or healthcare...

  2. Newly graduated ADN! Job hunt or continue with RN-BSN?!HELP!

    SuperHelper replied to HealthNinja's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I graduate with my ADN in May and while still unemployed, I plan on working for at least a year before I further my education. Based on what I've encountered, experience seems to matter more than...

  3. How old were you when you started Nursing School?

    SuperHelper replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in General Students

    Started my ADN at 25 and finished at 27. Hope to start a RN to MSN some time in 2015 when I'm

  4. Chemistry Question - Is it necessary?

    SuperHelper replied to Trenata's topic in General Students

    I agree with dawniepoo. You will spend more time with fluid and electrolytes than you think and knowing chemistry helps a lot in that

  5. ADN students...how quickly will you enroll for BSN?

    SuperHelper replied to Katie71275's topic in General Students

    I graduated on Wednesday and will probably take a whole year off. I'm trying to study for boards, move, and start a job. Plus I'm not sure I have all the pre-reqs (and haven't even bothered to look)....

  6. How to Gain a Lvl 2 OB ATI?

    SuperHelper replied to AfroSloth's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm similar to you in grades and I got a high level 2 on the OB test. I always recommend just reading the ATI books to supplement what you learned in class. Most of the time it's the same, but they...

  7. I've wasted my spring break!

    SuperHelper replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    We're on spring break now and I actually have NCLEX 3500 question open in another tab. I'm regularly sleeping in, but still trying to get 2-3 hours of studying

  8. ATI Final for Med Surge I & II

    SuperHelper replied to shay&lynn's topic in General Students

    That's really good to know. The predictor said I had a 92% first time pass probability which is good considering I still haven't had Med-Surg 2. It's going to be interesting at my school though since...

  9. ATI Final for Med Surge I & II

    SuperHelper replied to shay&lynn's topic in General Students

    Congratulations. We just took our ATI Comprehensive Predictor and it was heavy on med-surg so if you passed at a high Level 3, you will be fine. I really dislike ATI tests

  10. Job market- ADN students being warned?

    SuperHelper replied to hope3456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think all new grad should know what is going on in the job market, for whatever career they are going into. I'm graduating from an ADN program in about 8 weeks and I already started looking for a...

  11. Why did you choose your nursing school?

    SuperHelper replied to fbrlauren's topic in General Students

    If this is in response to my comment, this is what I would tell MYSELF at 19. I was still very much unfocused and didn't have a career plan or goal, even though I was a very good student (still am...

  12. Gen. Biology during summer session?

    SuperHelper replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A & P 1 during a summer session while I worked and it totally kicked my butt. But Gen. Biology is easier so I think you can do

  13. "Throwing Out" questions on a test

    SuperHelper replied to DawnJ's topic in General Students

    Your guess is as good as mine. Plenty of people have complained about it, but some of the teachers still do it. It never works in my favor

  14. Why did you choose your nursing school?

    SuperHelper replied to fbrlauren's topic in General Students

    I actually didn't even know where the campus was for the school I attend now. So I technically didn't decide on my school when I made the decision to become a nurse. After a broken engagement and...

  15. "Throwing Out" questions on a test

    SuperHelper replied to DawnJ's topic in General Students

    This happens at my school, but not a lot, and not with all instructors. Our school actually has a policy that if more than 30% of the class misses a question, especially if the question is missed with...

  16. I need nursing school advice from experienced nurses, please

    SuperHelper replied to LDRPHOPEFUL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your grades or your personal feelings by midterm first semester will definitely let you know. In my cohort, there were 2 people who quit after first semester. 1 due to failing and another guy who got...

  17. Nicknames unprofessional?

    SuperHelper replied to blackvans1234's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Didn't vote in the poll but I agree with the consensus that as long as the name is not super weird or offensive, it should be okay. My given name is very long and hard to pronounce, so I usually just...

  18. Community college then university, or just university? How much time?

    SuperHelper replied to savannh's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If I could go back in time, I would have started doing nursing at a university fresh out of high school. Considering the time it has taken me to do pre-reqs and get my ADN to bridge to a BSN...

  19. Cheating (unintentionally and intentionally)

    SuperHelper replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    There were a few ADN programs in my city that lost their accreditation and nursing programs due to rampant cheating by the students. I do agree that there can sometime be a lot of grey areas around...

  20. What city are you in??

    SuperHelper replied to lexiie_RN's topic in General Students

    I'm in Chicago. Debating if I want to get my license in Illinois or Indiana though since I might move

  21. Nclex nclex nclex worth a read!

    SuperHelper replied to nurselpnrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks so much for this post. I'm about 3 weeks away from my exit exam, 11 weeks away from graduation, and about 16-18 weeks from taking NCLEX. I feel so nervous, but also kind of not because I feel...

  22. ATI Adult Health

    SuperHelper replied to RM27's topic in General Students

    My school uses ATI and nobody particularly likes it, mostly because it doesn't always directly correlate with our books curriculum. The best advice I can give about passing an ATI test it to first...

  23. most hated subject???

    SuperHelper replied to fullstopltd's topic in General Students

    Still a couple weeks away from finishing, but I really disliked psych and a good portion of fundamentals. I liked my OB class but hated the clinical. My favorite class is med-surg and
