    RN403 replied to renae1982's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    When it came to situations such as this we were advised to talk to our Dean of Nursing to see which steps needed to be taken and also to contact our state BON to get input on what could be done during...

    RN403 replied to Littlelulu29's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are around 30 hours of videos that address each system, maternity, peds, and prioritization/delegation/assignments. With each video comes a worksheet that you fill out and follow along with. You...

    How old is too old?

    RN403 replied to Kerrimundhenke's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Of course, you can reach your career goals if you are determined and physically feel that you are capable. Don't let your age discourage you. 45 is young! I think that your aspirations are do-able....

    "The calling."

    RN403 replied to grrl77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is very common to have doubts. From nursing school to being an RN we all have/had our doubts. You will have your ups and your downs. Welcome aboard this crazy but awesome journey and Good

    Notes: Laptop, Tablet, or Paper?

    RN403 replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    I used good old paper and pen. Writing out what was being said helped me pay attention better and also by physically writing things out it helped me remember the material better. But everybody has...

    Good pop up but so worried

    RN403 replied to gailordfocker's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please, don't read into the types of questions you had. Remember, 15 are pilot and didn't even count towards your outcome. Getting the last question right or wrong does not determine if you have...

    RN403 replied to bonaire10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Aw, hugs and prayers for you. My advice, close the books and do something relaxing. Get a good night's rest, eat a good breakfast, and take some nice deep breaths before and during your exam as...

    NCLEX app

    RN403 replied to springchick1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Saunders app but I felt the questions were too easy--so that might be one to avoid. The questions in the app were nothing like NCLEX, IMO. A lot of people use NCLEX Mastery and I heard that is...

    Time spent studying and other stuff.

    RN403 replied to theRPN2b's topic in General Students

    I'll say I spent MOST of my time studying...or at least it felt like it. Of course, you can do other things like hanging out with friends, you just have to find that balance. Once you start school you...

    Help... I feel like I'm not going to get into Nursing School.

    RN403 replied to nurseD1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are not alone. I was not always a stellar student and I had my doubts about getting into nursing school as well...but I pushed past that rough patch and here I am. Don't let anybody tell you that...

    The summer before I started nursing school one of my nursing instructors sent out some things that we could start reviewing before school started. She sent us information on basic lab values and...

    Nursing Books-Buy or Rent

    RN403 replied to raidergirl95's topic in General Students

    Yes, I would buy the books that you know for a fact that you will use again, maybe even books you think will be useful after you graduate (maybe just to refer back to something once you are a nurse)....

    Sugar and water

    RN403 replied to 30days2nclex's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, I would agree with that. When you take in a lot of sodium you RETAIN water. That is why patients with HF are to restrict the amount of sodium in their diets. Too much sodium=too much water=fluid...

    rn nclex failure x2

    RN403 replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan may be better for answering practice questions. Hurst's questions seemed to be based off of their content only and seemed a lot easier than NCLEX questions. Practicing harder questions may help...

    Sugar and water

    RN403 replied to 30days2nclex's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They easily could have meant salt. The guide you are referring to is helpful but is not 100% correct. But, if they truly meant sugar then I believe that BrittyRN is right. If they truly meant sugar...

    RN403 replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the above post about taking some time off from studying before getting back at it. Just a suggestion, when your husband does his practice questions it might be a good idea to "simulate"...

    RN403 replied to Lacie1213's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First of all, congrats on your first nursing job! While I do agree with the above poster, it is obviously too late and now I believe the only solution is to tell your nurse manager ASAP and I would...

    RN403 replied to Kzzz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, technically, your scores look fine IMO. But like you said, what is important is reading the rationales and understanding why you got answers wrong (and right for that matter). Truth is people...

    NCLEX

    RN403 replied to lreich7887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No problem! Glad I could help. I think Hurst is cheaper than Kaplan so that is a plus and they offer a free re-mediation course if you do not pass or you can get your money back. But I am sure you...

    NCLEX

    RN403 replied to lreich7887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There really is not a "best" NCLEX review course because what works for one may not work for the other but I can personally say that I think Hurst was very helpful not only for NCLEX but also in the...

    Family Contract

    RN403 replied to 3rdGenRN's topic in General Students

    What ideas have you come up with? That would make it easier for others to give you some new ideas! :) I would say maybe you could contract with your family for some designated "quiet hours" or...
