Hi everyone, I recently graduated from nursing school and moved to Houston from out of state. I have been applying to positions for graduate nurses. After doing a lot of research on the hospitals in the area, I've learned that Memorial Hermann & ...

Sorry for my late reply. Generally speaking, I think Houston is great place for nurses to begin and sustain a career. There are a number of hospitals to choose from, pay is competitive, housing is much more affordable than Miami (more so in the subur...

NCLEX-RN Exam - Online Practice Questions & Review thats the the link to the website. It takes you to Uworld Qbank for NCLEX-RN. Once you get to the webpage, click "Subscribe" & it will give you the pricing options

Thanks!!!!! I averaged 57% after doing a little over 1,000 questions My lowest score was 36% lmao. My highest was 80% but those were outliers. I mostly scored in the 50s

UWORLD!!!!!! For sure!!!! The rationales in Kaplan Qbank are terrible in comparison to Uworld. Uworld rationales are very detailed, concise, and informative... it even has pictures and diagrams. You will barely even need to google anything for furth...

I used Uworld & I LOVED it!!! Uworld is a content review & question bank in one. I took the NCLEX last week & passed in 75 questions, only using Uworld. I did a little over 1,000 questions in Uworld (due to time constraints.. Less than 2...

Thank you for your response! Both hospitals are a little over 30 minutes from me. According to my GPS, they only differ by 1 minute. Although, it seems like I would encounter more traffic heading to Houston Northwest Medical center.

Hey! In what way is their volume & population very different?

I think doing practice questions is essential! I agree that Saunder's Nclex review is very helpful. You should also get a practice question book like "Pearson Reviews and Rationales" for med surg, or "Med-Surg Success". Doing practice questions reall...

Will nursing

The nursing kit (blue bag) is for Nursing Process 2 ​lab/clinical. You won't need it until then

Central students: The only books you will really NEED are the fundamentals of nursing text by Perry & Potter for lecture & the one for clinical. You will also need the Castillo book (for clinical). If you have Dr.K for pharmacology, which e...

Hey.. I'm currently in the program at Central campus. I am in process 2. The stats fernandesnicole15 gave you is accurate. I haven't read anything other than this page (I'll go back and read more when I have more time lol & try to answer question...

You won't really need the pharm text book for central or north campus. Everything is from the power points and lecture

I don't know all the hospitals that we are able to go to, but at the end of Process we will be going to either Plantation Hospital or Broward General. I think the new health science building should be done by August. From what I hear we won't be usin...

If you look at posts at the beginning of this thread you will find ppl's grades and HESI scores. They vary greatly. I got As in both Anatomy classes and a 92 on the HESI. I decided to take a look at the thread because item remember feeling so anxiou...

Hey! I can't believe it's already here! But just to make sure, what do we need for tomorrow? (Central) I'm scared to go and forget something. -Wear polo..... Any pants and shoes?? -bring supplies.. and book. -bring in paper work if you still haven't...

I know from looking at billions of older posts lol. Also, I asked current students in the January 2014 forum. You should at least get the Fundamentals of Nursing text by Potter & Perry. The 8th edition is the newest. That way you can start readin...

April 8th, 9am I bought the fundamentals of nursing text (which is huge!) and the clinical book like 2 weeks ago, both off of amazon. I'm waiting to buy the others.
