Very little of what I studied was actually on the test...I read the Kaplan book, did the Hurst Live Review, I got about 1/2 way through the Saunders book, and I signed up for an online program called RN Quiz. What really helped me was the reasoning o...

Did you get an email confirmation of the change from Pearson Vue? When I changed my date, I was sent an email of the change to the email address registered with the account. It would look almost exact to the email that you got when you registered for...

I believe that anything written prior to the start of the actual exam is considered brain dumping (that includes the informative session at the beginning).

I make sure that I think through the questions and at the testing center, I utilized the white board & marker that is given. If I knew the answer, I chose it. If I was unsure, I would write down 1, 2, 3, 4 on the board and I would go through each...

I took the Hurst Live Review and I don't think it did me any favors. It wasn't a bad review, it just wasn't right for me. A few of my classmates loved the Hurst Review and I think it just depends on the person and learning style. The Kaplan book was ...

I have a 4 year old, work M-F 8-5, and I'm halfway through a twin pregnancy. My child likes to watch a movie prior to going to bed so I would turn on a movie and use that time to go through study material (Kaplan and Saunders books mostly). I got in ...

If it were me, I would take the job if they are still extending the offer and continue to study for the exam. I worked full-time throughout nursing school and when studying for the nclex. You just have to plan your time.

After reading the last couple pages of comments, I should note that not everyone that has a degree holds debt. I have always been money saavy and I worked my way through school in order to pay for it. That is right - paid cash! Truth be told, my opti...

I am currently in an ADN program (last semester). I'm out of district but I pay for nursing school by working. Don't really have a choice because I refuse to get a loan. My schedule is hectic and tiresome - I work all week, take night and weekend cla...

There are clinicals 4th semester but we don't have any labs. All skills were taught and learned during semesters 1-3. Jmon, I'm positive you will get accepted with that score.

And if you wonder why I live far away and chose this program, it was so I could work because giving up my job wasn't really an option for us.

No problem, here are the answers, hope it helps. There are currently 22 students in our class. We typically study by ourselves (a couple of us live out of the area and I am one of them - I live almost 2 hours away, so I typically only come in on mand...

I'm currently in the Quest program. The website doesn't give the best information or much at all but the program works like this: you will go summer, fall, spring, summer. You will have assignments and tests throughout each semester - just like a reg...

Sorry to hear about your back natalie15. I purchased the 9th edition to Wong's. I believe the 9th version just made its appearance, so maybe they didn't have the ISBN at the time of the booklist. The 9th edition is what the bookstore has listed as t...

My name is Lee Ann Roman. Thank you!

I think it is a great idea too. I was actually wondering if one already existed and maybe I just didn't know about it.

The Nurses Drug Handbook 2013? Ugh, I purchased that one back in October off Amazon cause it did appear to be additional.

For those who purchased hemostats, did you get curved or straight?

Jesbustos, I sent you a personal message with my phone number. I'm not sure that I can answer all your questions though. From what I'm gathering...just from reading each others message, Quest and Traditional sound very much alike except for the forma...

Wednesday from 7:00-9:00pm. What about you?

I'm going to guess that we won't hear anything about clinical sites until the first week of school or maybe on the 11th.

I thought in orientation a comment was made that we'd be in nursing homes during the first semester. I could be totally wrong but something about clinicals in nursing homes was mentioned when clinical days were being discussed.

I just checked my lonestar account and I'm finally registered!!! I'll be in the evening rnsg 1105, saturday clinicals, and wednesday night lab.

Thanks for the link. I'm assuming when it says begin by completing prerequisite work... that prereq courses would mean core courses but I'm not certain. Begin your Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BSN) by completing th...

sockmonkey...are you in the traditional program or Quest?
