    Can I pass 8 months after graduating?!

    springchick1 replied to nightflower's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan is more how to answer the questions. HURST is more of a review of material. I know you said Kaplan is included in your program but if you need a refresher on material, I would recommend doing...

    Anyone skip pharm and pass NCLEX?

    springchick1 replied to nurse1990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why do you feel pharm isn't as important as other things? One medication error and you can kill someone. Pharm is extremely important! You won't be able to get all of it. If you studied for a year...

    Call offs

    springchick1 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I live in the south and we say call-in as well. We have 7 in a rolling year and then it's termination. That includes tardies. At some point you get a verbal and then a written but I don't know at what...

    Twas The Night Before NCLEX

    springchick1 replied to Megs2015's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Relax and don't study anything. Leave your cell phone in your car. Seriously, don't even take it in the building. If you cry on the way home that's completely normal (for me and everyone I've talked...

    springchick1 replied to nurse1990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If your pharm knowledge is really low and you still have four weeks before your test, why would you NOT study pharm? Just because one person only had 3-6 on their NCLEX doesn't mean you will. A friend...

    There is no way to know based on the amount of questions you had. You just took it today. Wait until tomorrow and check your BoN website. Or you can wait 48 hrs and pay the $8 if your state...

    How did the NCLEX go?

    springchick1 replied to jarielle22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hurst does do that. I do t remember what the number is but they give a recommendation. The test isn't anything like you think it's going to be. I know that doesn't help but it's the truth. I would...

    springchick1 replied to sonjafaf's topic in General Students

    Why would you take a seat in a surgical tech program to get your pre-reqs out of the way? Why not just do a generic plan of study to get the courses in. There are people who really want to be in the...

    "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    springchick1 replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Just because you worked with some bad nurses doesn't mean that ALL nurses are like that. I've see CNAs do the same thing. Does that mean that all CNAs are like that? Absolutely not. It means there are...
