    How many men in your cohort?

    Levitas replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nah. Some say that Males have better luck at obtaining jobs, and/or moving up the corporate ladder, so to speak. I've no experience in these areas, being a student myself, but I would imagine that it...

    Lutheran school of nursing

    Levitas replied to Mel_Stewart's topic in General Nursing

    I had to wait about a year, but it's always changing. Recently, we've had pretty full classes... exhibited by an inability to find a parking space,

    How did you prepare for the start of nursing school?

    Levitas replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Oh man, I took a year of pre-nursing at my school before starting the nursing courses. I was told that nursing was different than any other class I have experienced, and that I should be on my A-game...

    Levitas replied to Mel_Stewart's topic in General Nursing

    Hello there! I am currently enrolled in Lutheran School of Nursing, and in fact, I graduate in 14 days!! Woot! I'll answer the questions the best I can. I took a year of pre-nursing from Lutheran as...

    Be careful with NCLEX review programs.

    Levitas posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As I'm sure many of you've already seen, sometimes the programs we utilize to practice NCLEX style questions are erroneous. It takes vigilant knowledge, and reviewing of the questions wrong (which one...

    I was a CNC Machinist for about 5 years until I was laid off. Originally thought I would pursue Pharmacology, but found that Nursing better suited me, and my personal

    Overwhelmed..

    Levitas replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I, like many of the other repliers here, was a straight A student prior to entering the Nursing Program. But as Compassion_X mentioned, A students better get used to getting B's, and yes, even C's...

    supplies

    Levitas replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just bought what I needed per each semester. One folder per class (which I reused), one notebook per class, plenty of pens, highlighters, #2 pencils, a cheap calculator. For clinical, you'll need a...

    Does a 4.0 mean all A's?

    Levitas replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a 3.92 in pre-reqs, and if I got denied because of that, I'd be furious. Are you certain that they absolutely require a 4.0? Or is that just their

    Why Do You Want To Be A Nurse?

    Levitas replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    17 days until graduation!!! My first ideals of becoming a nurse mainly had to do with self-interests. I have a 6 year old boy who relies on me, and a beautiful fiancee who works her *** off supporting...

    Just Accepted!

    Levitas replied to BigWesYall's topic in Male Nursing Students

    First off, Congratulations! Prepare yourself for a strenuous, but extremely rewarding adventure! I was (still am) poor all through out nursing school. I am, however, lucky to have a wonderful woman...

    Saunders or Kaplan?

    Levitas posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hello everyone! My name is Adam, and I'm about to graduate nursing school next month (woo-hoo!), and I'm trying to figure out which study guide (book/cd/questions,etc.) would be the absolute best for...

    Saunders or Kaplan?

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

    I don't think I'll be able to afford any of those $300 programs, unless I wait until next year to take the NCLEX. Which I do not want to do, if I can help it. I just lucked into NCLEX 4000 last...

    failed RN took PN and passed the first time

    Levitas replied to marinesgirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not to be judgmental, but you could have purchased one or two decent study courses (Kaplan, Hurst) and passed the first time (with spending the same amount, if not less money). I wish I had the funds...

    Saunders or Kaplan?

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

    So I decided to purchase this today: And I also downloaded a Saunders review program. I was really enjoying the Saunders review (due to the ability to read all of the rationales), until I found some...

    Failed nclex in 75 questions. Take NCLEX tomorrow!!

    Levitas replied to NursingRN3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The amount of questions does indeed make a difference, and no, it's not random (at least according to every piece of literature I've been reading it isn't). However! Like you said, lots of people pass...

    Saunders or Kaplan?

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

    I won't be taking boards until at least December. Right now I'm completing questions like a madman to prepare for exit exams at the end of next month, and because it's required by my school (minimum...

    Saunders or Kaplan?

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

    Again, I meant no disrespect. It's hard to understand why I'd question that unless you've been around the people I've been for the last few years, heh. We've a bit of a sarcastic bunch, coupled with a...

    Levitas replied to NursingRN3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I haven't even taken the NCLEX, but, you said you failed with 75 questions last time, right? As I'm sure you know, the NCLEX will fluctuate your questions depending on your answers right vs....

    Oh, I know the test costs pale compared to student loans (I owe $30k so far ), and I'm continuing education immediately this January :) Also, I apologize if I came off as rude when responding to that...
