NICU:)

Hey all! So I just took my NCLEX for the second time this morning and got the "good popup." I am going to share my story with you. Hopefully I will give some of you motivation to pass the NCLEX! I graduated in May from a great nursing school. My sc...

Congrats, I have a similar story! We rocked that stupid test this morning! Good Luck!

So I also took the NCLEX for the second time today. Here is my story: I took the NCLEX in June and used only ATI to study. I got all 265 questions and failed. I had at the passing level for all areas except pharm, which was under passing level. So I...

Hey all! So I am taking my NCLEX-RN for the second time on September 3. I have been trying to refresh on content, but am having a hard time concentrating. Any Suggestions?! The first time I took the NCLEX I got the "around passing" on all areas exce...

I only used ATI the first time that I took NCLEX and I didn't find it helpful at all. You do a lot of waiting for your tutor to get back to you and so forth. I also felt that the questions were too easy compared to the NCLEX. Just my opinion though.

Hey guys! I failed my NCLEX in June, I am still waiting for my ATT to retest at the end of this month or the beginning of the next. I am having a hard time getting into studying again. I need advice. The first time around I solely used ATI; I had a ...

Yes, I used the online tutor. That is all I used. I still have all of the codes, so I may go through the tests again, but I am not going to follow what my tutor has said to do. I do not feel that ATI was worded the same as the NCLEX. I hope for the b...

Where I am from there is no difference in salary, either. The education includes leadership and public health nursing. Most of these courses can be taken online through a program. The only difference is where you can apply for jobs. MAGNET hospitals ...

I have digital textbooks. I just put them on my ipad and off I go. They are cheaper too. Maybe look into that?

I know for my program the "weeding out" semester is the second semester. This is when we have pharm, Med-Surg 1, and our skills become more than the CNA stuff. A lot of people had a hard time with the critical thinking questions. Many students were ...

Oh. And prepare for my LAST semester!! Ahh! So awesome! Cannot wait to see where I'm going for my preceptorship!

I will be sleeping, working on my nursing portfolio, working at my job a ton, and spending time with my family. Best of all.. I will spend time with my boyfriend. We may live together, but I never see him with my crazy schedules!! Cannot wait!!

I had a similar situation last semester with my Med Surg I class.. I needed to get a 76 on my final to pass.. seems low, but my classes averages were in the low 60s on ALL of the tests, I was better off than most! Our teacher wanted it that way. She ...

I also have a Littman classic 2. Just remember when ordering that your scrubs and shoes (Down to your underwear) are decided for you in nursing school. So choose a color that fits your style if possible. I got a pink one. And nobody else has one. Mak...

In some ways I agree. They should not be taking a test together. But writing a paper can be confusing. Especially when, like me, you write MLA for so long and then switch to APA. I do not think looking at another's formatting is cheating. If the teac...

I started a thread very similar to this a few weeks ago... If you can go back and find it I got some very helpful replies.. They were very encouraging!!! I am going through the same thing with my group that I have for the semester. I tend to be the l...

This is a very common thing. I wish my boyfriend would have tried this, as our relationship has had it's rocky points the last couple of years. We are also both in school, and live together. We have opposite schedules and no time for each other. I ha...

I took it two weeks ago.. you need a 65 or 66 for a level 2 (I cannot remember which). I would recommend stop taking the practice tests, as many of those meds are not on the test. Along with the previous poster's recommendations I would recommend the...

Honestly. I have bought the online version of all of my books and do not regret doing so. In my program we use all of the books every semester, so maybe that's something you need to consider. Ask the class ahead of you. Or even your teachers! Not to...

I am from Nebraska.. and the Children's Hospital in Omaha is a magnet hospital. As of August 2012, they will only hire BSN students. Also, they are now implementing a nurse residency program, which is two years long for all new graduates. Needless to...

Support. Not supper. Haha. I must be starving.. Typical nursing student you could say.

I have a 32 gb and have found that my iPad is my best friend. We are required to get online textbooks through elsevier and when I started my program they only support apple products. Now they supper almost any tablet. I also use micromedex. I love it...

It just depends on how flexible you are. Yes it will be possible. But clinical can be really early in the morning.. Our bus system is t even going at that time. Make friends fast. And be prepared. I honestly wouldn't be able to go without my car. As ...

I'm also from Nebraska. I'm in Lincoln. And there are no jobs here. Yes unemployment is low.. But being a new grad is going to make it hard to find a job here. I want to go to Omaha when I graduate in may. But idk if that will be possible because the...

Hey guys! I was just wanting opinions/stories from other schools, mostly so I know what to do in the clinical setting. So I am a third semester student (graduating in May, whoop!!) and we had a lecture last week over religion. We had a chaplin from o...
