    Can't you use the "Breeze" (not sure of the exact spelling) site in CA for RN

    run out of time at 257, what are my chances??

    SopranoKris replied to jasper2727's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you run out of time, they only evaluate the last 60 questions you answered. All 60 must be above the passing line in order to pass. Here's a great video from NCBSN that explains how this works:...

    Common Drugs To Know For Nclex

    SopranoKris replied to eyvis91's topic in General Students

    There's no way you will know every single drug that could possibly be on NCLEX. Heck, my very first question was a med I've never ever seen before. As suggested above, focus on drug classes. I would...

    SopranoKris replied to Jpcvcj19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sigh. 265 questions. Sitting in traffic crying

    SopranoKris replied to Medic82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    2 classmates had 265 questions and passed. You can get your Quick Results in 48 hours. Don't torture yourself with PVT, it's not 100%

    NCLEX

    SopranoKris replied to ohioborn81's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, I bawled my eyes out when I was done. I am NOT a very outwardly emotional person, so I was surprised that I started crying. I think all the hard work we just went through to get to NCLEX builds...

    Anxious!

    SopranoKris replied to magster3200's topic in General Students

    No one expects you to know everything on the floor as a brand new nursing student. As you progress through your program, there will be more expected of you as you grow in your knowledge. A first level...

    Any tips for a new nursing student?

    SopranoKris replied to mursuli428's topic in General Students

    I just graduated from nursing school in May. Here's my 2 cents: 1. Buy a planner with monthly, weekly and daily entry pages. It will help you immensely to manage your time and not get frazzled. When...

    The kaplan exam or what?

    SopranoKris replied to im_good2392's topic in General Students

    Our school didn't start requiring Kaplan until after I started. From what I heard from the class behind us, it's basic bio, anatomy, physiology, etc. If you did well in your sciences, you should do...

    Will I have a social life as a bsn student at a four year college and as a nurse

    SopranoKris replied to abbbbbbbbbbbbbb's topic in General Students

    You can definitely still have a social life if you use a planner and manage your time well. Will you have to make sacrifices? Yes. Will you be able to party every weekend? Probably not. But you...

    Just a typical day

    SopranoKris replied to MustangSally005's topic in General Students

    I agree, I love Grey's Anatomy scrubs. They're SO soft & comfy. Makes my other scrubs feel scratchy & stiff in

    Got credits transferred, should I go through with nursing program?

    SopranoKris replied to gingerdee's topic in General Students

    If you want to be a PA, skip nursing school. It's quicker to get your degree in laboratory science, work as a phlebotomist (which will get you enough pt contact hours) and apply to PA school than go...

    Took Nclex today, shut off at 75, only 8 SATA

    SopranoKris replied to watfordaimee's topic in General Students

    You have a higher likelihood of passing at 75 questions than failing. No one ever walks out of there feeling like they aced it. Mine shut off at 77 questions and I kept thinking "did I do something...

    ROME Electrolytes

    SopranoKris replied to skitches1's topic in General Students

    Use the search feature and find GrnTea's post about ABGs. It got me through acid-base in Med Surg. So easy to understand if you follow her

    clinicals

    SopranoKris replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    It depends on your clinical instructor. Most of my instructors had us eat at the same time in a group. Towards the end, closer to graduation, we were expected to fit in our meal time so as not to miss...

    Scheduled my exam! Any one else testing next week? (July 7th)

    SopranoKris replied to SopranoKris's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How long do you get to train with another nurse before you're on your own? We had a home nurse for infusions for a family member and she loved the autonomy

    Help answering unfamiliar NCLEX questions

    SopranoKris replied to chelsieblondie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The only flaw with that logic is that what might be "easy" to you might be "hard" for someone else. Sometimes, a general knowledge question can feel hard because it's something you're not familiar...
