1. Students (and others) using staff parking

   ArceusAlpha replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

   If you confronted me as a student, I would say "BITE ME!" But now that I'm a staff, I've turned a complete 180 and now will bite any students who dare park in our staff

2. All about AHS & Covenant

   ArceusAlpha replied to hellohobbit's topic in Canada

   I'm an AHS employee, it's been hard for me to apply for any positions too. I've applied to many internal postings and no calls so far. It really boils down to your experience and seniority. I can...

3. NCLEX in 2 days!! Help

   ArceusAlpha replied to Nargii's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   No that is a common misconception, getting a lot of SATA questions does not guarantee anything. There are SATA questions that are also at below the line so the SATA's do not mean they are necessarily...

4. Best way to utilize UWorld? By Subject/System or Random QBank Order

   ArceusAlpha replied to FireNation's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I suppose do what's best for you. I personally did randomized because that is how the NCLEX will be. Also, I'm not fond of doing a systemized test because I feel like time will be spent on various...

   You used 3 highly reputable resources to study for the NCLEX. Do you think you have difficulty in certain types of questions (ie. Prioritization), do you have a good understanding of core nursing...

8. UWorld Predictor & Actual NCLEX RN??

   ArceusAlpha replied to nurselife247's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   None of us here will be able to give you a response with certainty if that predictor gives a 'good indicator' if you will pass the NCLEX. Obviously it is only a predictor and it appears that you have...

9. Anything else besides UWorld & Kaplan?

   ArceusAlpha replied to rsvbbsn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Can you elaborate on how your experience on the NCLEX vs UWorld? Personally, I found the NCLEX harder than UWorld, but I thought the questions were very very similar in style. In fact, I had a few...

11. Anyone tried N-powerment NCLEX review?

    ArceusAlpha replied to rockstarninja's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That looks like a Canadian based exam prep. I'm also Canadian, but I've never heard of it, but it seems to be based in Ontario (I'm from Alberta.) They claim a 99% pass rate which is quite a bold...

15. Open book exams
