Hello everyone. I have found that one of the hardest parts of being a new nurse is how everyone does things differently. It is hard to figure out what I'm supposed to do. One of the biggest things I struggle with deal with the topic of IV administrat...

I feel like you’d be surprised at how much you retained! Don’t be afraid because you can do it. My school did hesi but a few days before nclex I bought uworld to see what it was about. I would suggest doing that if you want a better grasp on what the...

I took the NCLEX today and felt torn between a lot of questions. After getting home and googling them it seems like I got quite a few wrong. I know they say you have to be doing really horrible to fail at 75, but I do feel like I missed some silly on...

Ok guys, I got my unofficial results and I passed. I honestly have no idea how. They must only make sure you 3% of the test right lol.

Congrats! I hope that same feeling happens to me!!

I hope this is true in my case. If not, I really bit the dust.

I seriously think I got most priority questions wrong (they were all so close). Did you feel like this too? It also doesn't help that my last question was easy ?. There were *some* questions I felt confident about, but I feel like they weren't the im...

I just feel like I missed most of the priority questions ? and my last question was not that hard. I'm trying to stay positive but it's so terrifying having to wait. Thank you for your encouraging words!

I'm a nursing student set to graduate in 3 weeks. I've been having my preceptorship in the ED and today I received a call because a floor manager contacted my boss saying I updated a patient's med list to say they got double the dose of seroquel they...

I left out that my preceptor looked it over

Yes, I feel like no one either does them or they aren't accurate due to cross-viewing the computer orders, verbal discrepancies, and piece of paper from 1953. I also feel bitter like it isn't in my scope of practice. "Why am I changing your prescript...

I was planning on taking a year to finish my remaining "coreqs" but after thinking about it, I would rather take A&P 2 in an 8 week course during my fundamentals class, and then microbiology in the summer after my first year. Has anyone done this...

I guess the school I'm going to, quite a few people do it. I would only need a&p 2 during the first nursing semester (which has 1 class)— I also hear the a&p teacher is great (like actually wants you to succeed). I just wanted some additional...

Hey guys! Is two years of a bsn program more rigorous than two years of an asn program? I will graduate from college this year, and want to go back for nursing. I don't know if I should go the bsn route or asn route. I will already have the first two...

No, it's still a two year program. I've looked into ABSN's but I would rather take it the slow and steady route. Maybe it's just something weird on their websites; websites tend to be wrong.

Really? Weird. I'll have to bring it up when I meet with the nursing recruiter at my school. Online it says they offer a BSN and a bachelor's in nursing for people who already have a bachelor's. The school I go to now seems like a good fit for me, pe...

Wait, is there really a difference between a BSN and a BA in nursing? The school I go to now offers a BA in nursing for people that already have four year degrees, although I don't see what is so different about it from the other program? Any insight...

CONGRATS!!!

Well, plenty of people get hired with ADN's where I live, so that really isn't the issue. I just wanted to know what the course load was like in a two year bsn vs. adn. I know the BSN program has you taking more classes, but are the classes just more...

Wow thanks!! I have test anxiety too :/ boo!

Hey all, So I'm debating between two community colleges. Both of the colleges require about the same pre-reqs. However, one of the schools has you take TEAS and the other one doesn't. The school that requires TEAS seems more willing and able to help ...

Also, I'm not sure if nursing school is very competitive around here or not... I do not know what to expect! I had a class who said her grades weren't very good, and got in to one. And another friend said she took TEAS and got in right away... HM!

Well, I live in the middle of 2 cities that are about the same distance from one another. And good to know; they require an 80 for admission, otherwise you have to take some "nursing strategies" class...

How many hours per day do you put into studying for your nursing classes? I've heard a lot of different answers. Also, do you think there is such a thing as studying TOO much? Can you freak yourself out because you "don't get it all at once"? Studyi...

I am right along with you guys. I graduate this coming spring and I am going to finish my prereqs NEXT year. I decided I wanted to do nursing the spring semester of last (my junior) year. I had my eye on an ABSN program, and was trying to take the pr...
