Hi there! I took my nclex today. What a beast of an exam. 30-35 select all that apply. 1 ekg/med SATA, tons of meds... It sucked. It stopped at 75 and I was like "no. but WAIT... Let me prove myself!" 😭 said I wouldnt do the PVT, but I did. Got t...

Not even 30 hours later and it is up on breeze already!

I passed!

Also, do you know how select all that apply questions work on nclex? Is it like normal and only 1 point per question or do they give you some credit for part of the answer? Because almost half of my exam was SATA and it really beat my confidence down...

Thank you for the responses... I still have the good pop up 24 hours after... But I am skeptical. Won't believe it until I see the pass! What confuses me is how people pass the first score and fail the 2nd score and vice versa. Like if the computer ...

So if you do PVT 12 hours later... is it more accurate? (I am sure not to believe it before 24 hours) Seriously, how is anyone satisfied with not fully understanding WHY the exam is scored 2x? That **** baffles me.

No one knows?

Peds!!! Class kicked my butt. Managed a B, which is an A to me in that case. And I LOVED it. I want to be a Peds nurse. But it was hard as hell.

Hello! I am trying to write my care plan on my pediatric patient who had a bone marrow transplant, and I am really having a hard time with one of the drugs the patient is on. I asked the nurse and I did not really receive an explanation. Then, I went...

Thank you so much for your responses! I really appreciate it.

I have one! I am on my 2nd and going to be ordering the 3rd in November. It is the best planner! My favorite thing about it is that is separates morning, day, and evening. All the space allows me to write down all my assignments and reading info. I a...

I am a current WCU student about to enter OB/Peds rotation. Some words of advice to everyone... DO NOT FAIL any classes. Save the fails for around Med Surg 2 when it gets crazy. I have not failed anything and do not plan on it, but it is nice to know...

Congratulations on getting in! So awesome. My biggest piece of advice is to relax while you still can. I wish someone emphasized that more before I started. There is no time to just relax anymore. It goes so fast, just give it everything you have! Go...

Hello there! So I am going to be starting my Peds and OB rotation next month and needless to say, I am freaking out. They say it is the hardest term at school. Anyone have any recommendations for books? Study habits? How are clinicals on a pediatric ...

I have a friend that graduated from WCU and just got accepted into a MSN program at UCLA. So just keep your GPA up, and you can transfer to another school for your MSN. Good luck :)

It is really a bummer to me as well.. Almost everyone I know that is a RN hates it. Or they are probably just the super big complainers. At my school, everyone moans and groans about the exams, how difficult everything is... It gets irritating, but t...

What a disgusting person. I think you made the right decision by keeping quiet. Just don't get involved with her at all. There are several students at my school that I do not associate with because of them acting like that. It is best to keep yoursel...

The fear of being left with debt (I go to a private school), my pride, I am NOT a quitter, the fact that I do not want to let anyone around me down, I want to prove to myself that I can do it. I honestly like school... I do not like the busy work, bu...

It is completely normal and it sucks! I really hate getting the bouts of depression. They always happen to me right after I start a new set of classes. When the material is overwhelming, it makes me just want to give up. I am currently going through ...

I know this feeling all too well. Some nurses are good and some are awful. We all know what kind of nurse we will be when we have students... Yes, it is stressful. I think the workload of a nurse is crazy. But it is not cool to treat students bad. I ...

I am kind of like you as well. I do great in lecture and if I do not study at all, I will still end up with a B. When I get to clinical, I freak out sort of. I hide it very well, but I have bad anxiety and I always have to take a deep breath. I am go...

I exercise about 1 hour per day. It really helps keep my stress down. If I do not have time to exercise, I will go on a one mile run and that will have to work for that day. On clinical days, I do not exercise. I probably should, but I just need that...

My Bible, Fluids & Electrolytes made easy, Nurse Tabs app, my zuca bag, my northface backpack for lighter days, Littman classic II se, and lots of coffee

I say LLU! Good luck! :)
