    On the theme of the thread, I came across this: Would anyone here have thought to go to Wiki How to find out how to pass the exam? :) How to Pass the NCLEX RN Exam: 19 Steps -

    I know what you mean! I already had an A.S. and had 3 semesters of pre-req/co-reqs before I set foot in Foundations for Nursing

    RNsRWe replied to loriangel14's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I never suggested one was superior (ADN grad, remember?) but rather that it seemed an odd choice of language, never having heard that myself before. We certainly never referred to semester one as...

    RNsRWe replied to loriangel14's topic in General Nursing

    Huh, ok. I've just never heard anyone ever say that. I was in an ADN program, and no one referred to themselves as "freshman" in Year One and/or "senior" in Year Two. We'd say "I'm graduating in May"...

    RNsRWe replied to loriangel14's topic in General Nursing

    I have no disagreement on the need to limit the number of attempts, and therefore keep better tabs on the standards we all hope to see in nurses. But that wasn't my point. I was pointing out that your...

    Precisely. The NCLEX, people often forget, is a minimum-competency exam, nothing more. Not a proficiency exam, minimum competency only. I always thought of it as a License to Learn.

    Ouch, Fiona, that's an awfully broad brush stroke, don't you think? Can't imagine you'd be pleased to read what some American nurses might just think of Canada's nursing/hopsital system, I'd be...

    RN program with no pre-reqs?

    RNsRWe replied to SweetHeartRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Run. Can't see how they can meet the accreditation standards of other nursing programs without requiring the same coursework. Would be a holy shame to spend lots of time, lots of $$, and then find...

    RNsRWe replied to greyL's topic in General Nursing

    wow, I had NO idea there would be such controversy over this topic! My two cents--I was taught to dilute any med that was drawn straight into a syringe, as the only reasonable way to give a tiny...

    Are nurses allowed to have facial piercings?

    RNsRWe replied to cascadingbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    So, OP, what do you think of all this? You've heard alot of input. Bottom line, of course, is whether you will be willing to accommodate your future school's (and employer's) requirements--and get a...

    LOL, I don't see that happening just yet! My advisor/counselor put a start date of early October in place, just to get the evaluation done, etc. But until I get a job situation settled (as in, I...

    Got my answer back. Plenty of credits to transfer in, all electives and general ed for bachelor's met, all that is left is the nursing core classes: the same 12 classes they list on their website as...

    You mean CLEP? I've never tried that, some people have told me I should do that too. I'd be worried I wouldn't really know what I'm being tested on. You'll have to report back on that when you're...

    That list is straight off the website, item by item. The school requires a minimum of 30 credits from their program to award a BSN (assuming you have the other 90 already for a total 120). You'd...
