  1. Taking NCLEX-RN sooon!!! Advice please!!!

    Sparrow91 replied to NP2BJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was in the exact same boat as you. What I would suggest is to find one resource and stick with it. If you have other sources use them as extra resources when you need more clarity on a topic. In my...

  2. RN License # on DORA, nothing from Pearson Vue

    Sparrow91 replied to erinwatkins's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah same here. I'm guessing that Pearson waits 48 hours regardless of how quick the BON

  3. NCLEX week.... prayer anyone?

    Sparrow91 replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took my test yesterday, cut off at 75, checked the state BON and my licence # was up! Still can not believe it!

  4. What do you do for NCLEX eve?

    Sparrow91 replied to Sparrow91's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well I finished my exam. Did the PVT and got the pop up that says "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration can not be made at this time." Fingers crossed!...

  5. What do you do for NCLEX eve?

    Sparrow91 replied to Sparrow91's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks everyone, I have been trying to relax but it is so hard to step back. I guess I am a control freak when I get

  6. What do you do for NCLEX eve?

    Sparrow91 replied to Sparrow91's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have always done well when it comes to passing HESIs but I feel so nervous and overwhelmed. It will be difficult for me to step away from my resources the day before the BIG day! May have to go out...

  7. What do you do for NCLEX eve?

    Sparrow91 replied to Sparrow91's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks everyone that is what I figured. I always planned on stopping a day or two before the test but as it gets closer I am getting nervous. @ Tinman1017: Funny you should say that I just picked...

  9. NCLEX week.... prayer anyone?

    Sparrow91 replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sparrow91 replied to mmtorrez89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!

  11. Random Fact Sling

    Sparrow91 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey guys! I saw an old thread of this pop up recently and thought it was a great idea especially with a lot of us sitting for the NCLEX soon. I thought it would be good to start a new one where the...

  12. I'm about to get a loan but have a question...

    Sparrow91 replied to NurseSN45696's topic in General Students

    You would have to talk to your schools financial aid office and your private lender. Each school does it differently, some disperse the checks quickly and some hold them for a

  13. Favorite Clinical Rotation

    Sparrow91 replied to ashleyL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did my preceptorship in critical care and loved it!

  14. To scramble for experience, or relax?

    Sparrow91 replied to datalore's topic in General Students

    I would say if you have an opportunity to get one then go for it. Most PCT and CNA jobs require either training or so many semesters worth of nursing school credits. You can start just volunteering at...

  15. Ob/Gyn - Internship?

    Sparrow91 replied to shannon81's topic in General Students

    Are there any midwives in your area that would allow you to intern with them? It is not the same as a hospital but if they were willing you would at least get to see the holistic side to natural home...

  16. Starting the program

    Sparrow91 replied to Pochitos's topic in General Students

    There WILL be a change in family dynamics when starting nursing school. However with the right mind set and planning ahead you can have a balance between the two. Get a good daily planner and USE IT!...

  17. How was microbiology for you? Grade for you? Topics covered?

    Sparrow91 replied to starter12345's topic in General Students

    Mine was pretty challenging. Learning anaerobic vs. aerobic, kreb cycles, history, where they are commonly found, transmission, incubation, prodromal, illness, and convalescent phases, early signs and...

  18. IS Quizlet reliable?

    Sparrow91 replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    They aren't. Quizlet has information posted by other students mainly for their own or their friends personal use but some choose to make them public. You really have no idea where the information that...

  19. Post conference ideas

    Sparrow91 replied to AshleighERRN's topic in General Students

    I have just graduated from a BSN program meaning I had 2+ years of clinicals and not one of the instructors focused on teaching how to give a good report! This was a real challenge for me when I...

  20. Hello, would it be ok if?

    Sparrow91 replied to v.ung's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends on the state requirements. In the state I'm in before you could take the CNA course you had to first pass a reading/writing exam with an 8th grade reading level or better. So call some CNA...

  21. I think I passed NCLEX?

    Sparrow91 replied to Hershey12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!!! I am not sure why it is only for 5 months. When is your birthday? I believe in my state you have to renew your licence every year and it expires on your birthday. Again...

  22. I could use some encouragement

    Sparrow91 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are not alone in the math hating camp! I have never met (not that they don't exist) a person in the nursing program yet that liked stats, or can even say that they really fully understood all of...

  23. Job Or No Job While In Nursing School?

    Sparrow91 replied to 2bnurseautumn16's topic in General Students

    If you are able to get a job within a hospital it would probably be beneficial both in experience and in networking. Most people I know who worked in a hospital or did a preceptorship at the hospital...

  24. Preceptorship?

    Sparrow91 replied to hkneurorn's topic in General Students

    I did a 240 hour externship (much like a preceptorship) during the summer between my junior and senior year. During that summer I was also taking an online research class and working at my 24-32 hours...

  25. Do I 'NEED' these books?

    Sparrow91 replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    Definitely the lab value book, the rest I would not worry too much about. Worst comes to worst if you find you NEED one of these, amazon has 2 day shipping so you can get a copy fairly
