  1. Ideas for Men's White Scrub Tops?

    Xlorgguss posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on Men's white scrub tops. I start my new job in a few weeks and I'm looking for something with a more fitted look. The ones that I have been eyeing are a...

  2. Testing in less than 2 weeks Kaplan/UWorld, am I on track?

    Xlorgguss posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi yall! Just looking for a little reassurance here. When I graduated school they told us that we need to hit the magic 5000 NCLEX questions in order to pass. So I've been plugging away. I first...

  3. Testing in less than 2 weeks Kaplan/UWorld, am I on track?

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

    I preferred UWorld for their rationales. Honestly Kaplan's rationales sucked. However, my actual NCLEX questions seemed more similar to Kaplan in that I got very random subjects. Mine felt like they...

  4. 75 questions, got the bad pop up

    Xlorgguss replied to Jesimiel's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed at 75 and got the good pop-up. I didnt find it reassuring

  5. Testing in less than 2 weeks Kaplan/UWorld, am I on track?

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

    Congrats! I'm sitting here sweating because mine shut off at 75 and I have about 2 hours until I can check quick

  7. 75 questions today on NCLEX

    Xlorgguss replied to Wedahayes's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just don't feel great about the test. It was very difficult to gauge. Everyone says that I'll be fine. For what its worth I did get the good PVT pop-up, but I don't find that reassuring. For whats...

  8. 75 questions today on NCLEX

    Xlorgguss replied to Wedahayes's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine yesterday and I shut off at 75 and I thought it was awful. So who knows. Is it common for people to fail at 75 questions? I did UWorld and Kaplan as

  9. Need Help, using UWorld to pass NCLEX)

    Xlorgguss replied to Future_Nurse_Nekia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did all categories at one because in NCLEX you never know what you'll get. My score is 94th and the median score it gives is 48. I still need to do the two predictors

  10. PCT in the ICU - What do I need?

    Xlorgguss replied to ColorMeUp's topic in Critical Care

    Hi! I am not an RN (yet, take NCLEX next week) and I'm not in the ICU (yet, thought that's the goal) but I am a current PCT and I work on a Pulmonary Progressive Care Unit. When I started as a PCT...

  11. Testing in less than 2 weeks Kaplan/UWorld, am I on track?

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

    I couldn't even imagine. I had an ex who finished his NCLEX in 75 questions and he said he took about 35-40 minutes. I can be a fast test take too, but when it comes to NCLEX, my feeling is that it's...

  12. Testing in less than 2 weeks Kaplan/UWorld, am I on track?

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

    Thank you for the good vibes! I'll keep plugging away at my practice questions, but I'll try not to stress so

  13. Testing in less than 2 weeks Kaplan/UWorld, am I on track?

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

    Thank you for the advice! I don't think you ever feel truly prepared honestly. There is just so much content packed into one exam its crazy. I have the day off before the exam (July 4th) so I'll just...

  14. Losing Weight While In School

    Xlorgguss replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    The end of my first year of nursing school I was 250+ pounds. Just graduated and I am somewhere in the mid to low 190's. Didn't have any time to exercise, it was all

  15. Starting my last semester, would I be crazy to apply now between break?

    Xlorgguss posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi all! I am just about to finish my third semester and will be starting my last semester of nursing school in a few weeks. Naturally I am chomping at the bit and I'm curious to see if it would be...

  16. Best tablet/laptop for Nursing School?

    Xlorgguss replied to e.amberly's topic in General Students

    I have a surface pro 3 and I love it. I got it with the intention of using OneNote and taking my notes right on the computer. However I was trying to teach myself the program and we received printed...

  17. When to apply?

    Xlorgguss replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    I graduate in May and already have my applications in to 2 out of the 3 hospitals I am applying to. Might not even apply to the third. There is a good 8-9 nursing schools within 50 or so miles of each...

  18. New Grad Nurse

    Xlorgguss replied to k.green17's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that I heard that it can take 6 months to get your license for California. I'm not sure if this is just a rumor, but two our nurses who are interested in traveling were talking about it the...

  19. Don't know what to do?

    Xlorgguss replied to mfash's topic in General Students

    I would finish your prerequisites and make sure you do well. It doesn't really matter where you go so long as the school you end up going to accepts them. The only caveats I have seen schools be funny...

  20. Finding a job after Graduation

    Xlorgguss replied to deavilaxoxo's topic in General Students

    It all depends on the hospitals around you. Some won't look at you before you graduate. Others will let you interview and may give you an offer pending passing NCLEX. I graduate in Spring and have my...

  21. Starting my last semester, would I be crazy to apply now between break?

    Xlorgguss replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you! I actually just finished my resume and my CNL is looking it over right now. Both she and the manager of my floor told me I would have a job waiting for me if I wanted it. If I don't get...

  22. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Xlorgguss replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Many degrees don't see the return that they once did. I know people with Bachelors degrees and even Master's that have worked the same low paying 12$ an hour jobs as me. Nursing is unique in...

  23. Did you put a "skills" section on your new grad resume?

    Xlorgguss posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So for my new grad resume I am getting mixed reviews if I should put a skills section. I definitely put one when I was applying for PCT jobs because it showed what I already new. I had both physical...

  24. Simplenursing.com?

    Xlorgguss replied to Mshanaghy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a bunch of his videos on YouTube already. Maybe watch a few and see if you like them? I agree with the above poster though. There is so much reading and assignments for school that I don't...

  25. What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Xlorgguss replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Men aren't any better. Had a patient tell me that he couldn't per earlier because he must have been sitting in his nuts. Don't even get me me started on where men think their "prostrate"
