    Lunch bag suggestions?

    rob4546 replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    I don't think I would use the one in this post, seems like bad luck.... https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/clinical-drama-question-925360.html Okay, that wasn't nice. It was funny...

    What Do You Eat?

    rob4546 replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    Sure you had to ask that question!!! My answer is too much coffee and nothing good. Two years in my nursing program and I have to work extra hard to get rid of nearly 45 extra pounds. Just ignore...

    nclex june 27th

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

    Our instructors suggested 100 questions a day. On average I did around 250 a day plus reading a little content material. Just to be fair, I usually overdo everything but I also feel really ready for...

    Have you gotten your official results yet? With the good pop up it shouldn't be a problem, but I bet it is exciting to see

    Having trouble with Kaplan/standardized tests

    rob4546 replied to cafegoer's topic in General Students

    I have to apologize, I reread your post and you did say it was the integrated tests. Sorry, little burnt out on reviewing for the NCLEX. Anyway, did your instructor open the focused review...

    I will pass the NCLEX on June 4th!

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

    Thanks for the well wishes! It is nice to have someone in my corner that understands the magnitude of this date. Friends not in nursing just think it is another "nursing exam" that I have talked...

    Having trouble with Kaplan/standardized tests

    rob4546 replied to cafegoer's topic in General Students

    Just to clarify, which tests are we talking about? (Med Surg, Peds, Pharmacology, Q Trainer, Q bank, Diagnostic, Readiness, Secure predictor 1 or 2 etc.) Also, are the scores you are quoting the...

    I'm about to get a loan but have a question...

    rob4546 replied to NurseSN45696's topic in General Students

    At my school all our loans, grants, and scholarships were applied to our account and the excess was refunded to us 1 week after the census date. We got the refund on a debit MasterCard that we had to...

    Select All That Apply

    rob4546 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I would assume that there would be no concrete rules for SATA questions. If I would have to come up with one it would be that there will always be at least one correct selection. This would be due...

    My kaplan scores. Am i really ready??

    rob4546 replied to Rosie1217's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those numbers look respectable and are above the threshold Kaplan posted for successful NCLEX. I don't think that the numbers alone can determine if you are ready or not. Take a minute to...

    How was microbiology for you? Grade for you? Topics covered?

    rob4546 replied to starter12345's topic in General Students

    Microbiology was fun. For me it was just a repeat of college biology with the addition of growing bacteria. We grew glow in the dark E. coli which was interesting. Got an A with little effort,...

    When Should I Start Studying for the NCLEX

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

    I have used many. Saunders, Silvestri, Kaplan, etc. There are apps from many companies like Davis mobile and even Kaplan. In your app store search for Kaplan Qbank and there are a free 165-185...

    When Should I Start Studying for the NCLEX

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

    In the program I attended we began answering NCLEX questions from a variety of sources in the second year. I would assume that I have answered maybe 7000-8000 questions (or more). I can't even...

    Speed Shock

    rob4546 replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    Have to say I have never heard that term before either. I was taught what might happen if you push each class of drug too fast but it was not referred to as "speed shock". We were taught this a...

    Do I 'NEED' these books?

    rob4546 replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    Out of all of them I would only get the lab values and diagnostic reference book. If you can buy it used because even though I used it, I used it very little. A book a little rough around the edges...

    acceptance letters from nursing programs

    rob4546 replied to MicrobioloLI's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure about your program but for mine the letters were received 3 weeks before the start of the program. It may not take that long for you because the program I finished was going through a change...

    Stupid classmate tricks

    This is so funny!! I have done this, not that the person was hung over but she was annoyed that I was well liked by the instructors. I was just always prepared for

    Stupid classmate tricks

    We also had a classmate that either had or was currently experiencing what ever condition or disease we were discussing. A small group of us enlisted the instructors assistance and created a rare...

    rob4546 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    You might look at Saunders Strategies for Test Success. This book helped change the way I looked at test questions and it was fairly inexpensive as

    Just bought my textbooks - a mini-grumbling session

    rob4546 replied to NightNerd's topic in General Students

    I know it sucks buying the kit but it does come in handy. As for reusing the supplies, yes you will and you will want your own. There were 24 in our class and if we all had to reuse the same foley...

    Reading ahead over the summer

    rob4546 replied to michiganstudent's topic in General Students

    All the ideas above are great, especially the flash cards and learning the prototype drugs. I would focus on the classifications and their mechanism of action as well. This seems to take the...

    Failed by 2 points my last semester.

    rob4546 replied to pudu12's topic in General Students

    Wow, that is really a bummer. I couldn't see just quitting and starting over at a new school if you can't transfer the clinical credits so you may have to suck it up and redo the year. If that...
