    PapaBearRN replied to nealmink's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Los Angeles, California Starting pay: 38 an hour plus differentials for night and weekend. Position: new grad

  2. Realized floor nursing isn't for me, anything else i can do with a bsn?

    PapaBearRN replied to enchantedlife's topic in General Students

    I agree with meanmaryjean. It's completely different. What about your clinical rotations do you not like? Is it the poop? Interacting with people (said you preferred lab

  3. 240 questions in 6 hours and I feel like crying

    PapaBearRN replied to JPGasmin's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I may be wrong but I believe if you run out of time they look at the last 60 questions and if you are below the passing line just once, they consider it a fail. I hope you passed

  4. Oh the Anxiety!

    PapaBearRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Anyone have more anxiety waiting to hear back after an interview vs. finding out the results of your NCLEX? It's been one day and I keep replaying the interview in my head and thinking about what I...

  5. kaplan review

    PapaBearRN replied to trn2015's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I only studied Kaplan and passed in 75 questions. It's definitely helpful but I recommend you review every question not just the ones you got

  6. Failed Nclex, not a good feeling

    PapaBearRN replied to faRaa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your scores on Kaplan were pretty solid. What happened on test day? Were you extremely nervous? I passed in 75 and my scores weren't even close to the 70's when doing

  7. What should I get for nursing school: laptop, tablet, or e-reader?

    PapaBearRN replied to NattieWattie's topic in General Students

    Do you mean for lecture? I wouldn't recommend any of those for clinicals. A 2in1 tablet would probably be best. I used my iPad with a keyboard to make notes and studied from it. Much easier than...

  8. Dissappointed with Kaplan

    PapaBearRN replied to smalltownhero's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did Kaplan and just took my nclex this past Saturday. The nclex was not difficult at all. You review content by reading the rationales to the questions you have answered. I studied maybe an hour...

  13. Failed A Course...

    PapaBearRN replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    You became extremely defensive and provided little information. You only gave us one piece to this story. You must be humble in this profession and realize YOU might be a part of the problem. Which is...

  14. PVT and nclex yesterday

    PapaBearRN replied to KaltmanRN15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm currently using Kaplan to prepare. Did you exhaust the Q bank and what were your scores on the Q

  15. Failed A Course...

    PapaBearRN replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    You stated you were picked on in prior semesters too. What do you think were the reasons for that? Personally, I wouldn't file charges against a school and then ask to go back there and

  16. Failed A Course...

    PapaBearRN replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    Life is a game of politics. You need to learn how to navigate your way through all of it. By filing charges you put yourself under a huge microscope and you bit the hand that was feeding you. Tread...

  17. Failed A Course...

    PapaBearRN replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    Couldn't agree more! I always tell people, "don't make excuses, just take ownership and make sure it never happens again." The person with a million plus reasons for why they fudged up never seems to...

  18. Failed A Course...

    PapaBearRN replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    Something must have been occurring throughout the rotation because you were assigned remediation during your semester. Was there any task/skill/assessment in clinicals in which you felt weak on? Did...

  19. Taking NCLEX in July

    PapaBearRN replied to ak1990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Same but I'm 60-63. Good news is according to Kaplan that means there is a 94% chance of passing on the first

  20. Failed A Course...

    PapaBearRN replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    What problems did you encounter at the clinical site? The extra work is known as remediation and is given not as a punishment but as an opportunity to improve your weaknesses. But I'm really curious...

    PapaBearRN replied to ak1990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you so

  23. How to Answer "What's Your Greatest Weakness?"

    PapaBearRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nursing Career

    How would you feel about one stating that their weakness is trying to please everybody? Being in a leadership role I've learned that this is absolutely impossible and that I must accept that not...

    They will provide the classes for you. You just gotta pay the

  25. LAPC Fall 2015

    PapaBearRN replied to purple_april's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They pretty much just do a scare tactic in orientation by telling you how much work it's going to be. You will have students that passed first semester come to your class to give you advice, but if...
