    Lots of SATA = doing well?

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

    I have no real confirmation as to which it is but I know I had a TON of SATA. There were times I'd have 2-3 in a row and go back and forth to SATA every other question. I had instructors that say...

    BloomNurseRN replied to Cortney2013's topic in General Students

    Do you have a Volunteers In Medicine or other low income clinic in your area that you would be eligible for? I lost my insurance during nursing school and hope to find a job SOON to get it back....

    Why do things in advance?

    BloomNurseRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Two months ago I registered with my state to take the NCLEX, was fingerprinted, and paid Pearson in anticipation of graduating this week. Having heard nothing, I was expecting to receive my ATT soon....

    I hate to admit it but I do have a screenshot on my phone that I look at every once in a while to remind myself it really happened - LOL. Good luck with your results and congrats on the job!!

    What Stethoscope for first semesters of Clinicals

    BloomNurseRN replied to larma's topic in General Students

    Most of the students in my program didn't have Littmann's. They are great and I fully intend to get one as soon as I become gainfully employed as an RN (hopefully SOON!!) but they weren't necessary...

    Why do things in advance?

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

    Seriously, I think I threw off the curve of everyone I know waiting for results and have made my friends that much more nervous when they have to wait the normal 12-24 hours around here. LOL. One of...

    Test shutting off at 75 questions... pass or fail?

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

    I have a ridiculous amount of SATA and was almost relieved when my computer shut off at 75. I had definitely heard that you've either done great or you've bombed it for it to stop at 75 so I felt...

    Did your school allow "thank yous" during your pinning?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Carson13's topic in General Students

    Our RN program doesn't have a separate pinning but rather just does pinning while walking for graduation. We say the pledge and that's it, which was really disappointing. The LPN classes have...

    I complained my preceptor!!

    BloomNurseRN replied to jenrak's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow, this is a scary thought. I see that you've been a nurse for 5 years but I'm a new nurse grad and things like this definitely worry me for when I get my first job. I wish I had advice to offer...

    Why do things in advance?

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

    Just wanted to update this because I feel like I complained prematurely. For whatever reason and through whatever process, my fingerprints were processed quickly and I received my ATT two days later....

    Re-applying for NCLEX-RN, no ATT received

    BloomNurseRN replied to asd825's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is basically what I was going to say. Have you checked your state's site to see if it's listed

    now that you took it,,what do you wish you had read up on more?

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

    I can't say there is any one book or content that I would have changed. I know doing QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, and more QUESTIONS worked for me. I used ATI and Kaplan but really, I think what mattered...

    NCLEX studying/test length

    BloomNurseRN replied to I.C.UNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats on passing! I actually took about the same amount of time on my test and felt like I could puke when I saw that I finished so fast. I started around 7:45 a.m. and ended about 8:35 a.m....

    BloomNurseRN replied to Momofboysx3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So far everyone I know personally and graduated with in May has passed the NCLEX on their first attempt. I have heard of one person that graduated with us that I didn't know who did not pass but our...

    SATA

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

    SATA are NOT my strong point but in doing practice questions I broke down each option in to true/false and tried to really think about what I knew of the subject being presented. I can honestly say...

    Mean/Competitive nursing school classmates

    BloomNurseRN replied to cowgirl_RN's topic in General Students

    BloomNurseRN replied to KATRN78's topic in General Students

    I'm very glad my nursing school emphasized hands on nursing. I chose to go the ASN route over the BSN route (there is a 4-year school and a 2-year school right here in my town) because I heard from...

    Random drug tests in nursing school?!

    BloomNurseRN replied to Yolopilas's topic in General Students

    My school required a drug screen prior to starting school and a drug screen prior to starting the second year after the summer off. As far as I know, no one had to undergo a random
