    NCLEX with 75 questions

    bunnysanford replied to sweetlauren201's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed on 6/30/15 with 75 questions! When the test stopped, I felt like my heart fell on the ground. I really don't know how (or why) everyone keeps track of how many of what kinds of questions...

    Can you fail Nclex ending on a sata?

    bunnysanford replied to sas026's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX in PA on June 30, and my license number was not up the next day, or the next, or the next, and so on until yesterday (July 8). I guess their number-putter-inner took the whole week of the...

    What I learned this week (7/4/15)....

    bunnysanford replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be looking for this thread each week now that I've seen it! I learned that taking the NCLEX, waiting anxiously (certain I had failed) for the results, finding out I passed (yay!) and then having...

    bunnysanford replied to shelby929's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You should know better

    bunnysanford replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a long-time vegan who goes to the gym 4-5 days a week, walks and bikes almost everywhere, runs half-marathons now and then, and quit smoking 3.5 years ago. That said: Whiskey and rum are way too...

    Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

    bunnysanford replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I take my NCLEX at 2 PM, and even though I told myself I wasn't doing any more studying, I'm skimming through this! It's perfect, and it's reassuring to see how much of it I already

    ATI Comprehensive NCLEX RN Review 17th Edition-- Is this a good resource to study?

    bunnysanford replied to shelby929's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I study about that much, in smaller blocks throughout the day, trying to be very Zen about it, and remembering how much better I retained information in school when I wasn't freaking out. I also just...

    ATI Comprehensive NCLEX RN Review 17th Edition-- Is this a good resource to study?

    bunnysanford replied to shelby929's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm going back and forth, so this might not help you. I skim and do questions from the Saunders book, and reinforce the ones I miss using the ATI Live Review book, then I take practice tests from the...

    bunnysanford replied to frawaed11's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm in the third semester of the Allegheny campus evening and weekend program, where nearly everyone has at least a part-time or full-time job. Most of us also got our pre-requisites out of the way...

    CCAC Fall 2014 Applicants

    bunnysanford replied to amcmanus88's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi, 3rd semester (Allegheny evening) CCAC student here. I'm a huge proponent of getting previous-edition books for this program (as in, if they ask for 12th edition, getting the 11th). There's a huge...

    Overweight and losing!!!

    bunnysanford replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Ugh, gaining! I think it's all the enforced sitting at school, plus study time, plus the cutback in hours worked waiting tables, and the fact that I can't bike to and from school (though I usually...

    ATI Testing for BSN Students

    bunnysanford replied to Jen2010's topic in General Students

    It's so weird that for such a "standardized" test, each school has such a different approach to ATI tests. My school, we got the big box of books first semester, then we purchase an access code each...

    Tips and tricks

    bunnysanford replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula, or another thick lotion, lots of it, then gloves (just the cheap stretchy knit ones every store has in the winter) overnight while I'm sleeping. If they're to the point...

    What does your countdown look like?

    bunnysanford replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    First semester ADN: Done with clinicals (passed!), and in the next week, I have one regular exam, one comprehensive final exam, and one head-to-toe assessment to perform. That doesn't sound so

    Prerequisites and the actual nursing program

    bunnysanford replied to unknowngenius10's topic in General Students

    Things do come up -- you'll never remember all of your anatomy info, but it'll be easier to recall it from the back of your brain as you begin to apply it to nursing process. It sticks more easily...

    how to take the ati test

    bunnysanford replied to caring4all's topic in General Students

    I took the practice tests online, and printed out my results. I then used the "Topics to Review" as a checklist for the chapters I needed to read and study harder in the ATI book. I also used the ATI...

    Books for class

    bunnysanford replied to Jonny-anderthal's topic in General Students

    I'm all about the previous editions. I got my Fundamentals book for $6, and my Med-Surg for $36 with the CDs and online codes intact, by going one edition back. The major difference seems to be the...

    OH! ATI makes a phone app that is all study questions. I like to practice them on the bus. They have a free version, but I went ahead and got the deluxe $20 version, since I'll be taking those tests...

    The books are expensive... if you get the big package from the bookstore. Ask your professors if they absolutely require you to have the latest edition, or if they plan to have you turn in assignments...

    Spring Start at Boyce 2014

    bunnysanford replied to RaiDade's topic in General Students

    I like it, but it's a little chaotic (it seems like there are some communication/organization issues), at least so far. If you want to start reading/researching, I would suggest getting familiar with...

    I'm not at Boyce; I'm in my first semester at Allegheny campus, but I thought I'd bump this up to the top for you! Best of
