I just took the test today and the science was very difficult for me. I spent lots of time studying everything in the ATI study guide and that certainly wasn't enough for me to do above average. I recommended to anyone taking it to go online and stud...

I'm starting the RN-BSN-MSN program this summer!

I recently tried it and it was not accurate for me. I passed NCLEX and got the "bad pop-up"

I just took mine the 13th. It shut off at 75 questions and I passed. Of the 75, I only felt certain of the answer on 20 of them. As someone who passed, I can tell you PVT is not accurate.

I took mine on 6/13/15 and was told I would have results this morning. I keep getting a message on my Pearson page that says results are unavailable. I contacted the live chat Pearson Vue help and they said since I took it over the weekend I wouldn't...

I have noticed there are several online NP programs but very few PA programs. Why is this? I'm not trying to start a debate on who is more qualified bc I feel it comes down to the person and how hard they work. But why is it that so many NP programs ...

There is a PA program in the town where I live and they say you must have 2000+ hours of paid, direct contact, healthcare experience. The truth is that they let people in who have only job shadowed PAs.

I agree with Open Wide Heart. I got a HCM degree 4 years ago and I'm starting nursing school this Aug. My experiences with the HCM degree have been so awful I could probably write a book and make more money off of it than I have in the last 4 years.

Lets us know what you find out!

Also, are the online programs any easier to get into? Most of the requirements I've seen specify having a BSN with varied years of experience and at least a 3.0. Does anyone know how many students are usually accepted? Talking about NP programs....

I was unaware. I thought with all MSN degrees one must be at least a RN. I think with both programs clinical experience should be required.

It's pretty scary how some, if not most, PA programs accept students with any kind of degree and no clinical experience.

Has anyone done the Acute Care track at USI?

I had several of the same reading questions and a few in English. Many of the math were the same type, just different numbers. As far as the science, the first time it had tons of chemistry on it. The second time lots of questions about kinetic and p...

76% I used the ATI manual and the science section was unreasonably difficult.

I have the ATI study guide and one of the practice tests was somewhat easy and the other was very difficult. I took the exam two weeks ago and I thought the science was unreasonably difficult. I still scored pretty well, I attribute that to being a g...

My thoughts exactly! There were so many questions that were never even hinted at in the study guide. I wouldn't even know how to tell someone to study for it. One of my questions pertained to biochemistry!

English is one of my strongest areas and I thought it was a little tricky at times. Make sure you study proper punctuation, especially semi-colons and commas. Also study things such as for whom vs to whom, that vs which and possessives. Also you will...

Maybe it is different at every program bc I emailed the director of the nursing program where I have applied for clarification and she said the program percentile is for students who have applied to the program at that college and only that college.

You can ask the computer lab supervisor for one.

Does anyone know when it comes to the percentile rank for the program, does that mean the class accepted for the year before or the average for the past several years?

mathisfun.com helped me a ton!

No you will not. I have a bachelor's degree, am CNA certified, and have a certificate in gerontology and I have to apply just the same as everyone else. The community college I have applied to only goes by the score on the Teas exam when determininin...

I am currently working toward being a SLP. I am taking the required undergrad courses (I also have a bachelor of science in healthcare management) and will apply to grad school next year. I am having serious doubts that this is the right path for me....

The happiness I am referring to is strictly on the job happiness, not overall life happiness. Generally I am a very optimistic person. I am non confrontational, but I do stand up for what I think is right. I tend to get along well with coworkers. I h...
