    rob4546 replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    Every person I talk to that is starting nursing school I mention, Saunders Strategies for Test Success: Passing Nursing School and the NCLEX Exam, 2e. This is a fairly basic representation of NCLEX...

    Buying a stethoscope before Nursing School

    rob4546 replied to FutureFresnoNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Uhhhh, no. Not trying to be negative of difficult, but with shift assessments and possible problems that come up during the day as well as passing meds all day, you will use it a lot when you...

    I guess I passed? 75 Questions :)

    rob4546 replied to Mindylane's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My results showed up on the state BON website 3 days after my test and 1 week from the test I received my license in the mail. That has been faster than everyone else so far in my class by nearly 1...

    Am I crazy to be taking the NCLEX?

    rob4546 replied to vivacious's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you need to make this decision for yourself. It is hard for any of us to know what you know and make decisions based on the experiences you have had. It does sound like you have a lot going...

    BLS, but not a "healthcare professional"?

    rob4546 replied to itiswell's topic in General Students

    Pretty much anyone can take the course. I just had to recertify and we had a 14 year old in the class that wanted to start babysitting. I thought it was real great she was

    rob4546 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay, maybe I shouldn't be so sure of myself but I believe I should be as positive as I can. I feel really prepared and confident about the knowledge I have gained over the last 3 years. I excited...

    Avoiding patients hitting on you

    rob4546 replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    Your nursing program should prep you a little for situations like this. I know the program I was in spent a little time on the subject. It really was not a problem except for the State mental...

    rob4546 replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are right, but I am not sure the OP's topic was fully understood. The OP is just stating that the type of questions that you answer have no bearing on how hard your exam is or the percentages of...

    Pharm on NCLEX?

    rob4546 replied to KeepCalmNurs3On's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had 5 drug questions and only one I hadn't heard of. I believe that it was a chemotherapy drug by looking at the answer choices. The other 4 were very familiar and the questions were fairly basic....

    rob4546 replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the NCLEX this last Wednesday and I too used Kaplan for review and to study. It is hard for me to give you an accurate representation of how hard the exam was compared to the Q-Banks. I...

    ATI DVD - during nursing school

    rob4546 replied to RubySlippers06's topic in General Students

    I have no information for you on the ATI-DVD's because we never used ATI in our program. On the surface I think it wouldn't hurt but I wonder if you could select information on the DVD's that match...

    rob4546 replied to GodMinistryNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You did it! It must have been rough taking all 265 questions for 6 hours. Just think, you wont have to do that again. Now it is time to start thinking about what to do next. Celebrate, be happy,...

    Can somebody answer me? Is this the PVT? 265

    rob4546 replied to GodMinistryNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is the exact message I got after I took the NCLEX! Congrats! I paid for the quick results in 48 hours and the state BON showed my license number ten hours later. The others in my class had to...

    Alternate Format Question Resources

    rob4546 replied to ctabs14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Davis Mobile NCLEX-RN Alternate-Format app isn't bad. It cost me 15.00. Got tired of doing alternate format questions but is good practice. It doesn't have any strategies but once you learn to do...

    Kaplan Secure Predictors

    rob4546 replied to ctabs14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They are both 180 questions. I would take them if you could. I believe that they were a good representation of passing level questions on the NCLEX. They are not the hardest by far, but they are...

    Any Advice for New Nursing Students?

    rob4546 replied to jrabbit0811's topic in General Students

    Yes it was hard, but not unmanageable. I don't recommend it to everyone, only the people that take time management and responsibility seriously. There have been good posts before me so I will defer...

    Hand Held Device Requirement for Clinical

    rob4546 replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    I had a similar experience. You will need one that will fit in a scrub pocket for reference. I believe that in our program they were planning on using Socrative (an app that is designed as a student...

    Retaking a lab without the lecture

    rob4546 replied to monica427's topic in General Students

    +1 It was like this for me as well. Is there a reason that you want to retake the lab? Is that considered a non passing grade? I could understand if you want to learn the information better, but...
