  1. Passed NCLEX 2/11, Kaplan and Uworld

    twss2323 replied to twss2323's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel like the rationales are really helpful. They're so extensive that I felt they were content review. They include diagrams, charts, etc and i feel like i learned a ton from them. You should check...

  2. Nau Nursing Spring 2016

    twss2323 replied to Egaddy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Good luck to you all. I'm in 5th semester at NAU... I remember obsessively checking my mail for like 2 weeks. Don't get too discouraged, I was worried about my GPA and Kaplan scores and got in. You...

  3. Cd missing in saunders book edition 5

    twss2323 replied to Lnzsay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes you can. I have the 5th edition, but the 6th comes with some other questions, so I've used my friend's log in to get those. We also study together and open it on each of our computers and it works...

  4. What nurse life-hacks do you have to offer?

    twss2323 replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nurses Rock

    I've used a cough drop and a mask for smelly situations before... the menthol from sucking on the cough drop does wonders, and you can *usually* find cough drops in your

  5. Will this still be acceptable?

    twss2323 replied to KAThftf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a question to ask your advisor, it's going to vary from school to school. You could always enroll in the course to save your seat and ask your advisor. If the class won't work for you, it's...

  6. Our birth control initiative was written up in the NYTimes!

    twss2323 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I actually listened to a teleconference from the CDC a couple months back about this program and 2 others, it was very

  7. New Student needs help...

    twss2323 replied to tlee2017's topic in General Students

    The only thing I'd say is a private loan, but those can have some high interest rates. I don't really have any experience with this, so hopefully someone comes along and can answer better. Good

  8. Clinical sites, you choose or you're assigned?

    twss2323 replied to level1's topic in General Students

    Assigned. We have no say what so ever in day/time/clinical group etc. For preceptorship, they ask us our preferences (specialty, facility, etc) and try to accommodate them, but it boils down to what...

  9. The Patient's "Guests"

    twss2323 replied to rnsheri's topic in Nursing Humor

    I totally understand your frustration, as I was reading the post you're referring to, I thought "Oh geez, here we go again". But I just wanna say, it really is a bad apple that ruins the bunch. As a...

  10. Esme Needs Your Prayers

    twss2323 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry you went through that, glad you made it. So happy to see you back. I missed all the help and insight you provided over on the student

  11. Comfortable shoes?

    twss2323 replied to Chickie77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This is a bit of a hi-jack... But everyone's feet are so different, so it's hard to answer the question. However, I'm looking at getting some new shoes. I have really wide and flat feet (I've lived...

  12. Use these TIPS..There's no such thing as studying for the NCLEX

    twss2323 replied to pinknursepower's topic in General Students

    Another good tip, don't pass the buck! The answer isn't going to be referring the patient to PT or a psychiatrist, there's something you, as a nurse you can

  13. Any additional books you recommend?

    twss2323 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm starting nursing school in the Fall and wondering if there are any books that you recommend I buy for school. For example, I just bought the Saunder's NCLEX review book because I have seen it...

  14. I Got Head Lice

    twss2323 replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    My boyfriend is a HUGE Star Wars fan and I told him I'd watch it with him when he watched Grey's Anatomy with me. He stopped pushing

  15. Passing cut offs

    twss2323 replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    My school is a 78% to pass and you have to have a 78% exam average to pass the class as well. I think it's pretty common

    twss2323 replied to CNAtoBSN's topic in General Students

    Congrats guys!! I remember how excited I was and the emotional high I had from getting accepted!! Enjoy

  17. What would you do?

    twss2323 replied to Christinajoannne's topic in General Students

    Just ignore them. It's not worth your breath. I actually had a friend of a friend who is a 2nd year med student tell me that the patient is THEIR patient, it is the nurse's job to follow their...

    twss2323 replied to enytsyrhk572's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There's a thread about this on the Arizona board. Try

    twss2323 replied to CNAtoBSN's topic in General Students

    Good luck to you both!!! just an FYI, her name isn't Joanna. I think it's against TOS to post names, so I'm not going to post it, but I'll tell you you're off by a

    Good luck!! Feel free to message me with questions about the program if you have them. I love NAU

  21. Fall 2015, GCU/NAU

    twss2323 replied to CNAtoBSN's topic in General Students

    Your overall GPA is looked at, but I believe they are really only looking at your prereqs. Those are the most important. And I think a month should be enough time. Ideally, you already know what you...

  22. Fall 2015, GCU/NAU

    twss2323 replied to CNAtoBSN's topic in General Students

    Oh, if they were Gen eds, I wouldn't sweat it at all! They're really looking at your prereq GPA. I had a couple C's in Gen

  23. Fall 2015, GCU/NAU

    twss2323 replied to CNAtoBSN's topic in General Students

    Yes, I am in the Tucson program. Each semester varies with how competitive it is. They also look at how well you do on the Kaplan, so focus on doing well on that. 3.46 is a decent GPA, so I wouldn't...

  24. Fall 2015, GCU/NAU

    twss2323 replied to CNAtoBSN's topic in General Students

    Hello, I'm currently in the NAU program and had to take the Kaplan. I took my Kaplan 2 years ago, so it might have changed, but considering the Kaplans we take in the program haven't changed, I highly...

  25. ASU Rent or Buy Nursing Books

    twss2323 replied to Ocean_Vibes's topic in General Students

    I got my first degree from U of A, so I'm a little reluctant to help out a Sun Devil I think you'd be fine renting pharmacology. You have your drug book that you'll be keeping and there's online...
