  1. Age Discrimination in Nursing

    Girlygirl23 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    DREAM'N : It may not be the "serious" age discrimination that is discussed in the article but it is still "serious" and real. I decided to share my experience and how age discrimination affects me on...

  2. Age Discrimination in Nursing

    Girlygirl23 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I find that in my workplace it is the complete opposite. I am 23 and always asked by patients/ family members about how old I am. A day doesnt fail where I recieve comments like "Youre a baby you look...

  3. starting to get frustrated/discouraged

    Girlygirl23 replied to blondie1887's topic in New York Nursing

    NYC is SO COMPETITIVE, I myself have filled out so many apps in the past 2 months and NOTHING! I would recommend Calvary Hospital (Hospice) to you, its located in the Bronx and they are always taking...

  4. Those who have used Kaplan!

    Girlygirl23 replied to wsoxgirl2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are definitely ready! Those scores are great :) Wouldn't be surprised if you walked out of there with 75Q and PASSED! Good luck

  6. Saunders 6th review questions?

    Girlygirl23 replied to pinkfroid's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Saunders Q's in my opinion were too easy and my Kaplan instructor thought so as well. I would recommend purchasing Kaplan or using a friends. LaCharity was a GREAT book, 100% worth the

  7. NCLEX Exam 2014

    Girlygirl23 replied to gradnu's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also have to agree that Kaplan ( I used this for Q's and Saunders Comprehensive to review material ) was more challenging than the NCLEX. Definitely do Qtrainers 6 and 7 because they contain more...

  8. Winging the NCLEX

    Girlygirl23 replied to noemi04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My friend took it right after she graduated and didnt study....passed with 265Q - very risky in my opinion

  9. How quick do you answer a question

    Girlygirl23 replied to mkcab's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly I recommend just TAKING YOUR TIME. I cannot stress it enough. I was considered a very fast test taker in nursing school and I was always the first or second person out. For some reason it...

  10. LaCharity PDA Book

    Girlygirl23 replied to msg88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would reccommend doing the first section of the book and completing the case study section only if you have time. This is a VERY GOOD resource to prepare from considering that management of care is...

  11. Input on Kaplan Scores & NCLEX PLZ!

    Girlygirl23 replied to honeydewnyc's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had similar kaplan scores as well and i passed the nclex with 89Q 2 weeks ago :) I had really bad anxiety a week leading up to the exam and I felt that doing questions always eased it. The day...

  12. DESPERATE for help & advice!

    Girlygirl23 replied to hbanga's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you got 75 questions each time, I'm inclined to believe that you may need to review content. Failing with 75 questions most likely means you were not able to master minimum competency, which is key...

  13. Feeling down :(

    Girlygirl23 replied to BSNRN2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also used Kaplan and Saunders to prepare for the exam. My scores ranged from 56-68 on the Q bank. I got a 67 on the readiness and a 64 on Qtrainers 6 and 7. I also felt VERY discouraged when I...

  14. Failed NCLEX, now what?

    Girlygirl23 replied to amy0024's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi amy, I just took my boards today. My computer shut off at 89 questions and I got the good pop up :) Hoping that means I passed! I would like to share with you what I studied to prepare for this...

  15. Starting the RN program next month have any suggestions to start studying

    Girlygirl23 replied to Chance SNRN's topic in General Students

    I agree, enjoy your summer!!!! Either that or prepare yourself for countless nights of books and tears. Yeaa i would just lay back and relax, exactly what im doing until i start my third semester...

  16. Lehman College Nursing program 2013

    Girlygirl23 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

    Like many stated, it does not matter where you graduate from, whether it be NYU or any other ivy league school. This economy sucks! In fact, i met a girl who just graduated from NYU who could only get...

    Girlygirl23 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

    @toya - it is unfortunately a small envelope :/ Orientation packets are to be picked up after you have received your acceptance

    Girlygirl23 replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

    Buy a review book, I heard Saunders is good, I used Mosbys which is full of nclex type questions. Do about 5 a day as it pertains to what you are learning in class. Read the book and all the notes. Do...

  19. Lehman College Nursing program 2013

    Girlygirl23 replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes there is a lot of competition at Lehman. 3.8 was the cutoff for the accelerated program last year. I'm not sure about the generic program, however they did tell us that our generic class had the...
