Candy- your last day is tomorrow!!!! I've had the worst week. I was the only one in my class to pass the pharm 201 Kaplan. 4 of my classmates (1/2 of the class) have technically failed the entire class. Today during clinical, one of the girls who has...
Definitely agree with Candy- you NEED a mental break. I make a point each term to take at least one weekend completely to myself. Even though I just stay home and read non nursing books, eat and watch Netflix- it's nice to unwind! I know it seems lik...
That's awesome Candy!!! I definitely understand the sad feeling- I'm just ready to retake it and move on! Thank you for the tip about pharm- I'll definitely use that to help study! April 2nd will be here before you know it- I'm so excited for you!!!
Hi ladies! How has everyone been these last 5 weeks? Candyred- down to your last term! I'm so excited for you!! OB was great until Kaplan came this week- I failed it by 0.3%- the first thing I've failed in the last 11 months [emoji30] so naturally I ...

You know, flutist- come to think of it when I took mine to the kiosk site of things remembered; they wouldn't do it either- and for the same reason. I took my steth to one of the actual stores that was located outside of a mall and they had it engrav...
PN Mastery- it's an NCLEX app and it's incredible. Get the paid version- it's definitely worth it! Skyscape is great- I use that in lieu of toting my drug book around all of the time.
Congrats on beginning your journey! I'm a senior PN student with a little under 4 months to go- and I must second everything that NotAllThoseWhoWander mentioned- it's great advice. There is drama. Tons of it. Especially if your cohort is mostly wome...
Candyred: YES!!!! Can you see the light yet?! I can't imagine stuffing all of this material from OB into 2.5 weeks [emoji54] my instructor warned us that this is the "turning point of the program" so cheers to an exciting term!
Hi ladies!! How is everyone doing? Candyred- you're almost there!!! I have 3 more terms after this one that starts Tuesday and it's OVER. I'm so ready to graduate! Starting OB this week, and I'm really excited- I've been pretty bored so far, so I'm d...

My first day was last April, and we had a quick PN meeting in the morning and went straight into class. We didn't get our books until the next day and didn't have our scrubs until 4 weeks into the program.
Svmarshall- how did your entrance exam go? At my campus (NoVA) we only had to take the teas math and reading portions- you could do the science if you wanted to be considered for either the PN or RN program.
Hi ladies, I hope everyone had a fantastic thanksgiving! I'm finishing up my last two clinical days of med-surg 2- took the nutrition Kaplan today and got a 94% so I most certainly can't complain. I'm just ready for this term (and year) to be over! ...
I think there's actually 3 total- which is horrific if you ask me. My first (and only so far) Kaplan was 75 questions and I managed to score a 92.3% which converted to a 99% for our grading system. See if you can find out exactly what is supposed to ...
The second pharm Kaplan or the one you take in pharm 2? I haven't taken the second pharm Kaplan yet- but I know in the class ahead of me everyone failed it the first time- and then passed the second time. The pharm Kaplan I took during pharm 2 was ea...
Candyred- oh I hear you! This term is kicking my butt! All was great until they decided (mid-term) to change our tests from moodle to paper and to add additional chapters to our final. More info that has nothing to do with this terms Kaplan (good ole...

Definitely two sets of scrubs! I always keep an extra set in my car in case of...well in case I need to change on the fly! I second the idea about the unique color. I have the Classic III and love it, mine is breast cancer awareness pink- but also en...
amelia_sn replied to artusoa's topic in Uniform/Gear
I have the Classic III and I LOVE it. I've had the lightweight, select and Classic II and the classic III is far superior. My only complaint? It's heavy- about the same as the cards III I tested in store. I'm think about getting the master classic a...
Candy- YES GIRL! Graduation is almost here!!! Is cardiac acute care 1 for you? I know they changed our course numbers a few months ago so now cardiac is 204, which I'll start in 6 weeks! You're right about the Kaplan- I thought it was easy, but three...
