    unicoRNurse replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  3. testing this Thursday....so nervous!

    unicoRNurse replied to grneyz083's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck! I'm taking it tomorrow. I planned to do the "take the night off studying" thing the day before the exam, but it turns out that studying is the only thing that relieves my stress, so......

  4. ekg strips...what should you know

    unicoRNurse replied to blondie1887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I liked https://ACLS-algorithms.com/rhythms. There is a good overview and links to the ACLS algorithm for each rhythm. If you scroll to the bottom of the page for each rhythm, you will see a brief...

  5. NCLEX results on hold

    unicoRNurse replied to momma_bear's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's neither good nor bad -- it's on hold. From what I've read on here, it should switch to good or bad

  6. Lacharity...what's a good score

    unicoRNurse replied to blondie1887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Shandra2008 - online, most have about 25-30/chapter. A couple have 20 or 21, and peds has 41. (Not trying to butt in -- I just happen to be taking a study break, and I have my list of chapters with...

  7. Lacharity...what's a good score

    unicoRNurse replied to blondie1887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    FYI I bought the 3rd ed. book with code for $40 at Barnes & Noble on Friday. When I went to the evolve/elsevier site to activate the code, it looked like there was an option to purchase just the...

  8. Still no ATT.... Ohio =(

    unicoRNurse replied to bethanyalicia09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RiloAsh - Hang in there. No, I haven't taken NCLEX yet (but I will be taking it very, very, frightfully soon). I started shaking when I got the ATT, and have had "nervous stomach" (to put it...

  9. What's the scariest thing you've ever seen as a nurse?

    unicoRNurse replied to Nurse0621's topic in General Nursing

    LouTracy-Walker - I'm glad you dug up this old thread, as it was an interesting read. Just FYI, there is a ghost stories thread on this board, with zillions of posts. Some of the posts in that...

  10. how much hire level math is required for nursing?

    unicoRNurse replied to AspiringRN27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you mean higher level math? It depends on your school. My school (ADN) just changed the requirement to include a statistics class and college

  11. NY Med - a great reminder about social media and nursing

    unicoRNurse replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

  13. Virtual ATI

    unicoRNurse posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What is Virtual ATI? We did ATI throughout the program, then the ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor (big test that gives you a percent likelihood of passing NCLEX on the first try), and I did the ATI...

  14. Virtual ATI

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

    Thanks! Doing the Live Review gives you access to practice exams, and our instructor told us to move on after we get 60% or better in an area. They must be similar

  15. Non-bedside nursing jobs- what's out there?

    unicoRNurse replied to madame_morphine's topic in Nursing Career

    I know a nurse who works, from home, for an insurance company -- she has something to do with determination of claims. I met a nurse on vacation who also works from home, somehow providing info to...

  16. Hardest part of nursing program?

    unicoRNurse replied to AspiringRN27's topic in General Students

    Peds was tough because of the overwhelming amount of info -- vital sign ranges on all the different age groups, the developmental milestones, etc. I really liked psych -- it just clicked with me --...

  17. Med errors

    unicoRNurse replied to debi49's topic in Patient Medications

    I haven't taken NCLEX yet, but what we were taught in school, and what the practice NCLEX questions I have been doing also teach, is that you document in the chart what was actually administered....

  18. Still no ATT.... Ohio =(

    unicoRNurse replied to bethanyalicia09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, RiloAsh, perhaps I am mistaken, given Laurenann's comment. However, I am the only person in my class to have the ATT, and my status changed right before I got it. Everyone else's status still...

  19. Still no ATT.... Ohio =(

    unicoRNurse replied to bethanyalicia09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RiloAsh - Start studying! Shortly before I got my ATT my status changed from "pending" to "application incomplete." Coincidence...? I think

  20. Nursing School Incivility

    unicoRNurse replied to amw79's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Holy cow - I would be beyond livid. I'm sure this was an eye opener, and not the last injustice you will face in life, etc. However, you were a student, and this was your learning experience and...

  21. Is nursing school worth it?

    unicoRNurse replied to CantDecideUsername's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a bachelor's in another field and a good job. Because I worked at said good job during business hours, I attended an excellent ADN program, at a community college, from which I have recently...

  22. ATI Live Review

    unicoRNurse replied to Pinupnurse76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  23. Still no ATT.... Ohio =(

    unicoRNurse replied to bethanyalicia09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know what to say. I had my background check done and sent to the BON in February, and filed my application at the earliest opportunity -- the week after graduation (so, mid-May). I also...

  24. working full time during nursing school?

    unicoRNurse replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Students

    Yes, it's possible. I (and most of the 19 people in my class) did it. As another poster mentioned above, I would have done the accelerated bachelor-to-BSN, but I work standard business hours so that...

  25. Questions most similar to NCLEX questions?

    unicoRNurse posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For those who have taken NCLEX: which of the review books did you think had questions that were most similar to those on NCLEX in terms of level of difficulty and question format? I did ATI Live...
