  1. waiting is the hardest part

    RunBabyRN replied to grneyz083's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    YES, that was absolutely the worst part!! The good pop up face me a tiny bit of relief, but I still don't trust it 100%. Thankfully it didn't take long to post! Good

  2. ATI Comprehensive Predictor and NCLEX

    RunBabyRN replied to whitneycherelle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I personally don't think the predictor was much like the NCLEX. The questions aren't really passing level questions. I scored a 99% chance of passing, if I remember right, and I passed the NCLEX in...

  3. Kaplan and Lacharity seem to answer these questions differently..?

    RunBabyRN replied to blondie1887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would follow Kaplan's guidance on this one, based on the questions I remember from the NCLEX. I had a few questions regarding which patient you'd assign to a floating nurse. Sure, if you have an...

  4. San Diego California

    RunBabyRN replied to mica wykes's topic in California Nursing

    Yup. CA has a 47% new grad unemployment rate, and that's average- it's higher in major cities. Make sure you have a job lined up, offer in writing, starting date, orientation scheduled, before you...

  5. Off-shooting the "NYMed" post

    RunBabyRN replied to smf0903's topic in General Students

    In addition to what these guys have said, there are actually medical photographers (have a friend that does this in the military). He photographs interesting cases with the consent of the patient for...

  6. third semester challenges

    RunBabyRN replied to FutureRN_15's topic in General Students

    They are NOT NOT NOT little adults. DO NOT go in thinking they are!!! Any pediatric nurse will absolutely CRINGE hearing someone say that they are. One of the fundamentals of pediatric nursing is...

  7. How about nephrology and dialysis

    RunBabyRN replied to sunny time's topic in General Students

    I am very confused by this post. What exactly are you looking for? If this is a job posting, I don't think this is how you go about posting

  8. What A&P review should I do?

    RunBabyRN replied to Mrs2016's topic in General Students

    Go through everything, honestly. You don't have to do it with a fine-toothed comb, but at least review it so it's somewhat familiar. The kidneys are important to review. Follow a drop of blood....

  9. Suggestions on Educational course

    RunBabyRN replied to BRenee81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't bother with the AA. Just look at the prereqs for the programs to which you plan to apply, take those and your general ed (your community college should have a list of all of these- line it up...

  10. which route to go

    RunBabyRN replied to csacree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One applies for nursing school separately from a university. Your daughter might actually be better off going to a community college to save money and then transfer to a BSN program through a CSU...

  11. Is this a good guide for getting through clinicals?

    RunBabyRN replied to LadyK90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can only speak for my own program. We didn't have a separate pharm class; it was integrated into the other courses. For the first semester, we went in the night before, and looked through the...

  12. Looking for Respiratory NCLEX Q's

    RunBabyRN replied to bella14k's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with mrsboots87. Anything you need to know for the NCLEX will be in your study resources, or you can Google. Go through your textbooks to review these topics if they're a struggle for you....

  13. Subjective/Objective Symptom

    RunBabyRN replied to exam1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Exactly. Maybe the patient reports chest pain, but isn't exhibiting any visible symptoms. However, clutching chest, shortness of breath, observable behaviors make it objective. Bleeding, as someone...

  14. Nursing student in need of some advice!!

    RunBabyRN replied to jedayenurse's topic in General Students

    What is it that makes you feel so suddenly like nursing isn't for you? Like SoldierNurse22 stated, many people get this anxiety in their first semester, but for a few, it's a genuine, "WOW, this is...

  15. Could I interview a nurse here?

    RunBabyRN replied to Tnewnurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Exactly. At least most requests are respectful. This is probably one of the least respectful requests I've seen. "Don't got time for an introduction," but do my homework for me. WOW. Good luck...

  16. Questions regarding CNA to RN

    RunBabyRN replied to mrzabalos1127's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to research the programs in your area. Period. There are no online programs that will allow you to sit for the NCLEX (maybe one or two that will happily take your money, anyway). CNA is...

  17. Is it time to give up?

    RunBabyRN replied to Toaster's topic in Canada

    21 is younger than you think. Don't let your "advancing age" hold you back. Now, that said, I understand what you mean about the dietitian route, because I researched it for myself as well, and in...

  18. 30-Year Old GPA Might Sink My RN Program App

    RunBabyRN replied to Beginning15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took some general ed courses that were transferable to ensure that my GPA was higher. Some I needed, some I didn't, but I earned As in almost everything I took later in

  19. 30-Year Old GPA Might Sink My RN Program App

    RunBabyRN replied to Beginning15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Been there. I had to do a lot of damage control because of my grades from when I was 16 and such (took college courses while in high school). I also had a failed attempt at prereqs (that's what I...

  20. Already accepted to BSN but have a C in Patho

    RunBabyRN replied to jwalker03's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good plan! I think with all of the stipulations with voc rehab, many don't qualify, but I'm sure there are plenty who do that don't know. That's why I try to spread the word when I can. Great...

  21. How do I become an RN by going into nursing right after high school?

    RunBabyRN replied to Grier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll want to research how it's done in your state, because there does seem to be some variety from state to state, but in most, you take all of your prerequisites (2-3 years), and then apply for the...

  22. third semester challenges

    RunBabyRN replied to FutureRN_15's topic in General Students

    It's difficult, but it's all very individual what's challenging. I take it you don't have children? Those of us that do seemed to have an easier time. Review Erikson's stages, and know the normal...

  23. Already accepted to BSN but have a C in Patho

    RunBabyRN replied to jwalker03's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First, make sure that any programs to which you apply accept repeated courses, especially repeats with passing grades. Some schools will not accept these. Next, while master's programs do look at...

  24. RN.CA.GOV

    RunBabyRN replied to SABCAL's topic in California Nursing

    The CA BRN states that you need transcripts for all courses required for your nursing degree, so anything with prereqs and general ed that's counted for your degree must be submitted. From the app:...

  25. Is cheating a double standard?

    RunBabyRN replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    Actually, if there's a confidentiality clause (and if this is real...), the courts didn't decide anything. People settle out of court all the time and pay people to shut up and get out of their face...
