  1. New Grad - Desperate

    TCASII replied to TCASII's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow! That is interesting. I guess there is hope. All these apps and nothing still has me feeling like nothing exists, but I guess it does.

  2. New Grad - Desperate

    TCASII replied to TCASII's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies. I'll look into all of them. Multicollinearity - I'd love to know where and how you did that. lol. I've looked at a few rural places but haven't found much. I'm a...

  3. New Grad - Desperate

    TCASII replied to TCASII's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks! I'll look into Chandler Regional as well. Yes Boston_Nurse, this is very frustrating. Some of my classmates have sent out 300 applications to places in several states and been rejected at...

  4. Failed first nursing exam, feeling like I am not meant to be a nurse...

    TCASII replied to animenurse's topic in General Students

    We've likely all been there. Heck I got a 55% on my first peds exam and I was mad! Needless to say, despite a few bad grades on some exams, I passed my NCLEX-RN the first time with 75 questions, so...

  5. Any stethoscope recommendations???

    TCASII replied to johnnyarei's topic in General Students

    I'm partial to the Littmann Cardiology III, but I'm sure it's overkill for most nurses. The Master is cool too but way too expensive and heavy considering I've seen a fair share of cardiologists who...

  6. Kaplan Support Group. Post Scores here.

    TCASII replied to ursweetpea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My diagnostic was 64%. Only did three trainers (5, 6, and 7) and maybe two qbanks. My scores were always around 60%, but I did have a 48% on a qbank. I passed the NCLEX-RN the first time with 75...

  7. SATA Questions

    TCASII replied to hotnurse408's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hated SATA in school as well. The HESI SATAs seemed to be the worst. Other than that we didn't have a lot of exposure to them. I found the NCLEX-RN SATAs to be really straight forward and easy...

  8. What med to administer?

    TCASII replied to Me2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ashley, PICU RN has the right answer. What you're asking about is anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is the mainstay drug for such reactions, however a minor reaction might be treated with just an...

  9. Kaplan scores....please help

    TCASII replied to rn_soon's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wouldn't freak out too much with Kaplan. I personally didn't like Kaplan questions so I did 2 qbanks and 3 trainers. My scores were in the mid-60s. Aside from being vague, I felt the NCLEX was...

  10. Took the NCLEX today...

    TCASII replied to skyegirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt like the OP. I wanted to jump off the 2nd story balcony to the first floor I had so much energy! I was excited having about 30 SATAs and a shut off of 75. I knew I passed. It felt great....

  11. Took NCLEX-RN Today (75 questions)

    TCASII posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well I had my exam today and shut off at 75 exactly. My last question was a SATA. LOL. I had about 30 SATA though. It was brutal but not near as bad as I expected. My anxiety made the experience...

  12. Prob: NCLEX on Presidents' day

    TCASII replied to littlestar97's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!!!

  13. Took NCLEX-RN Today (75 questions)

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

    Thanks again! I checked this morning about 25 minutes ago and the BON says I passed!! AZ is quick! No license number yet. I think they have to open and process the results. So exciting even...

  14. Took NCLEX-RN Today (75 questions)

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

    Thanks! Feeling pretty good about it. Unique 87, just stay positive. I didn't think it was that bad. I only did about 500 Kaplan questions and studied maybe 15 hours during a three month period...

  15. Rescheduling NCLEX Online?

    TCASII posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I find the process, or explanation of the process a bit confusing. I scheduled for a date and time that should work out just fine, and I've only had my ATT for a week. I understand that you must...

  16. Rescheduling NCLEX Online?

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

    So 50 bucks to reschedule? I only see that if you have to change the BON or something.

  17. Finally got my ATT, now I have a dilemma

    TCASII replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Haha! That's me! I noticed a few time slots for 8 AM, in fact they all were! I was forced to pick one day in February that didn't come up until later in the afternoon. You'll notice that checking...

  18. HESI Exit Exam - It Can Be Done

    TCASII posted a topic in General Students

    Well I took my first of two attempts at the HESI exit exam. I needed an 850 or higher to not have to retake it and get a B in the class. I was pretty worried since it is 160 questions and our study...

  19. Quitting my $63K job as a legal assistant for nursing school

    TCASII replied to reed201's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Boy, if I knew what I know now about nursing school and the way health care is for those in it, I'd never in a million years have signed up. Worst decision of my life. Almost finished now...

  20. Carrington College

    TCASII replied to crangel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would avoid carrington like the plague. Teaching is poor to horrible, structure and scheduling is awful (changes daily), clinical sites are not very good, and even the financial aid department...

  21. Who is finding nursing school way easier than you were told it would be?

    TCASII replied to SayNoTo DNC's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Not as bad as I thought it would be, but the busy work really reduces my ability to learn what I need to learn to become a knowledgeable nurse. No time to really understand the concepts, no teaching...

  22. How do I read a nursing textbook?

    TCASII replied to SockMonkey.ecb's topic in General Students

    Yeah they expect us to read the advanced med-surg book in no time and understand every concept. I am very irritated this time around. No idea what will happen. Were were assigned 11 chapters for...

  23. Is it bad to get b's in nursing school?

    TCASII replied to ooomonkeys's topic in General Students

    Don't know too many who get

  24. "Concerned" about MH teaching

    TCASII posted a topic in General Students

    I finally passed my OB, Peds, and Pharm with two Bs and an A respectively. Exciting since I didn't think I'd pass at all based on the talk among students and the subject matter. So next we enter...

  25. "Concerned" about MH teaching

    TCASII replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    I hear ya. I also think the frustration with this instructor is that she was a psych nurse and even has a degree in counseling! You'd think someone with a mental health background and education...
