  1. Debunking the SATA Myth.

    cp1024 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took my Nclex yesterday. 130 questions of pure hell. Only about 10 of those were SATA. I walked out believing I failed because I didn't have enough SATA. Did PVT, got good pop up, but still wouldn't...

  2. IV pushes

    cp1024 replied to #NurseB's topic in Patient Medications

    I personally, don't see myself ever being lax with drug administration. But so many times in clinical, and sometimes even instructors, would tell us that "that's how the book says to do it, but it's...

  3. IV pushes

    cp1024 replied to #NurseB's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm so glad that the responses confirmed my initial thoughts. I've only been a nurse for a week, but I read the OP thinking "OMG, s/he's going to kill someone..." Glad to know that not all nursing...

  4. Passed with Few Sata

    cp1024 replied to ipassednclex11/14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had pretty much the same experience as you! Anyone wanting to know what to focus on, priority is a big one. 80% of my test was focused on that. Congrats! Passing NCLEX is the most amazing...

  5. WHo is using Lippincott's NCLEX-RN PassPoint?

    cp1024 replied to LWittmann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OK. So I took NCLEX yesterday and confirmed I passed this morning....don't use this program!!!! Questions are WAY too easy compared with NCLEX. This program could easily give someone a false since...

  6. Debunking the SATA Myth.

    cp1024 replied to cp1024's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My SATA were pretty mild compared to what I had on tests in school. The priority is what was incredibly difficult, and I'm usually really good at them. The ones on NCLEX were way harder than what I'd...

  7. WHo is using Lippincott's NCLEX-RN PassPoint?

    cp1024 replied to LWittmann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Last two Practice NCLEX tests I took on there gave me level 8 in all categories. Still seems way easier than questions I've seen with other programs. Just scared it's going to give me a false since...

  8. The most annoying student

    cp1024 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    While I hear what you're saying, I'm still not seeing why public humiliation was necessary. Why not dismiss him from clinical? Why not fail him for unsafe practice? These are all standard rules of...

  9. Care Plan Help

    cp1024 replied to Jennx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also, they can't be "overloaded with fluid" and have a fluid volume deficit as you suggest. Look at your labs and determine which it is. Nursing diagnoses aren't as difficult as people sometimes make...

  10. Care Plan Help

    cp1024 replied to Jennx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Risk for impaired skin integrity RT immobility is all you need. You could say RT traction and immobility if you wanted. No AEB, because it's a risk. There are actually a lot of diagnosis possible...

  11. WHo is using Lippincott's NCLEX-RN PassPoint?

    cp1024 replied to LWittmann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm really happy to hear that. I just took the NCLEX practice test on there and got all 7&8s I expected the questions to be way harder than they were. Do you feel this is a good NCLEX pass...

  12. NCLEX-RN Repeat test takers (2014)

    cp1024 replied to turtlelover's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'd already told everyone I will not say when my test is scheduled, exactly for the reason you posted. I didn't want the added pressure. I'm glad you passed, I hope I do too! CONGRATS!

  13. So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    cp1024 replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    You aren't a "bad nurse", you aren't a nurse at all. You were just studying to be one. I admire your persistence. Whatever you do, remember that while you might not consider your GPA to be important,...

  14. Tidewater Community College 2013 hopefuls

    cp1024 replied to Ski Utah's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hesi entrance exam, most everyone in my cohort (we graduated in OCT) have scores in the 90's and A's on all the sciences. And actually, I'm pretty sure they are going to a 4 semester program instead...

  15. So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    cp1024 replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    I agree with RNsRWE. Unless you had a major life event, no REPUTABLE school will let you in. It's standard knowledge when you go into an RN program. You fail twice, and you're out. Do not pass go,...

  16. The most annoying student

    cp1024 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    He sounds pretty horrible, and incompetent. But NO ONE deserves to be reprimanded in the presence of an audience. This was very wrong on behalf of the instructor. She should have called him aside...

  17. WHo is using Lippincott's NCLEX-RN PassPoint?

    cp1024 replied to LWittmann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just saw there was a 2 week free trial open and it's suppose to give full site access for that time. It look pretty cool, I'll provide feedback once I complete the trial.

  18. CNM Schools- Where are they and what to look for?

    cp1024 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Please forgive me, as I'm sure you guys are asked this constantly, but I just graduated nursing school (ADN) Oct 20th, and am preparing for my NCLEX. I've known I wanted to be a CNM since I was 13...

    Thank you so much Cayenne!!!! I appreciate your

  20. New Grad Resume (haven't taken Nclex yet)

    cp1024 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm working on my resume to send out and hopefully get some interviews lined up so I have a job once I pass NCLEX (again, hopefully). I've been a stay at home mom for 10 years and other than a few...

  21. CNM Schools- Where are they and what to look for?

    cp1024 replied to cp1024's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    That sounds fantastic, Cayenne! I'd totally drive that far! Any particular salad dressing I should be getting? I'll have to see if I can find some info on their program and requirements online....

  22. IV starts in nursing schools

    cp1024 replied to DaynaPierceMorgan's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in October, and yes we were taught IVs. I even started one in clinical on an adult, and I did a venous draw on a 3 hour old infant in preceptorship. Got them both on the first try. We...

  23. New Grad Resume (haven't taken Nclex yet)

    cp1024 replied to cp1024's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Awesome! Thank you for your feedback! I feel really uncomfortable "selling myself" on paper. It always makes me feel pretentious and like I'll come off as a know-it-all. I know it's what's...

  24. CNM Schools- Where are they and what to look for?

    cp1024 replied to cp1024's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm not *COMPLETELY* opposed to moving, but I have 3 kids, am single mom and I just moved to Jacksonville less than a month ago. I wasn't planning on any more moving unless it was for marriage...

  25. Nclex should be harder

    cp1024 replied to chrisbauerwrat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As was said above, you could have very well just gotten lucky. This isn't a regular test where everyone gets the same questions. Also, perhaps you were blessed with a school that better prepared you...
