    EKG strips on NCLEX

    BloomNurseRN replied to 2bNdNurse84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I only had one rhythm strip. Mine was a SATA that asked what symptoms I would expect for that rhythm. I was lucky that we did cardiac in my last semester of school but it really did feel obvious....

    How is the job market in Bloomington, IN?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Blue Roses's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Well hello fellow Bloomingtonian/Indiana nurses! As a new ASN graduate I can say the market is a bit saturated right now with IU and Ivy Tech having just graduated a new batch of nurses. That's not...

    LPN school?

    BloomNurseRN replied to chacha82's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I think you answered your own question. You have looked at the pros and cons of both and come to a very logical conclusion. Getting your LPN while working will allow you to keep your debt...

    BloomNurseRN replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    Actually, you will probably be shocked at how fast it will fly by! When I started my last term in January I couldn't believe it when May was suddenly upon me. Stay calm, take deep breaths, stay...

    Student loan debt?

    BloomNurseRN replied to lossholly's topic in General Students

    That's not an easy question to answer but each person has to make that decision on their own. That being said, 45K is a quite a lot to come out as a graduated nurse given the current economy and no...

    NCLEX Advice

    BloomNurseRN replied to britnian's topic in General Students

    There is actually an NCLEX forum here on allnurses.com and you might want to look at posts there, as there is a lot of advice for study materials. In all reality, you should be studying for NCLEX...

    RESCHEDULING NCLEX.

    BloomNurseRN replied to angel_20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CT Pixie is correct. As long as you're at least 24 hours out from your scheduled time, you can reschedule as many times as you want without losing your money. Do be careful to make sure you stay...

    Help with "Hotspot" Questions

    BloomNurseRN replied to bienfait381's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know we had to identify Cullen's sign on an ATI exam at one point but I didn't have any hot spots on the NCLEX. Good

    Kaplan NCLEX-RN Book

    BloomNurseRN replied to chicagoboy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The qbank and qtrainers are what you get when you purchase access, either through a classroom review or online access only. When I purchased the Kaplan book it came with a CD of Kaplan qbank...

    Is it 100% that if you received the credit card info you already failed the exam?

    BloomNurseRN replied to dandykeh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is not a guarantee of failure but it isn't the best sign. I very much hope you get good results but if not, you will be ok and you will kill it next

    Any advice? Please???

    BloomNurseRN replied to clh8987's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's absolutely feasible. I think the key in this situation is to truly prepare starting NOW. Get Saunders, get Kaplan, get the LaCharity PDA book and get to studying. Make sure you know your...

    Opinion on your uniforms?

    BloomNurseRN replied to green34's topic in General Students

    Just graduated in May and I hated our uniforms. They were regularly a green pant with a white top with green pin striping and white shoes. I don't wear pants though so the only option I had was a...

    BloomNurseRN replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    Get a Kaplan book or LaCharity Prioritization (or any other NCLEX prep!) to keep you busy and get you ready for Fall/NCLEX. Good

    Does everyone have to take the TEAS or HESI exam?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Jaykalkyn, BSN, RN's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Most schools that use the TEAS exam do so for entrance purposes, which my school did. I have heard of a HESI entrance and exit exam but my school did not use

    BloomNurseRN replied to FLndn84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My readiness score was a 73%. I felt like the Kaplan questions were very similar to NCLEX. The format was similar and the questions prepared me. I took the NCLEX on 06/10/13 and passed it with 75...
