  1. NCLEX before or after vacation?

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

    I agree, get it done and enjoy your vacation while you wait for your results. As you said, you'll never feel 100% ready. Just take that leap! Good

  2. Finding jobs as an experienced RN vs. Nurse Practitioner; looking at my future

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

    Even experienced nurses are having difficulty finding work, when there are over 100 applicants for every position. Nurses have to cast a very wide net here. Even though I had an offer, I was still...

  3. Finding jobs as an experienced RN vs. Nurse Practitioner; looking at my future

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

    Thanks, VLVG. It was really heartbreaking, and I hope to be kept in mind if something works out later. :) I have an interview next week elsewhere (I am glad I kept searching anyway!), so here's...

  4. Best place to sell textbooks?

    RunBabyRN replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    I still use the Half

  5. Does anyone actually read all the reading assignments?

    RunBabyRN replied to vettechtoRN's topic in General Students

    I didn't read every word, but I put my eyes on the pages and gave it all a quick read, with more focused time on stuff that was totally unfamiliar. It's pretty much impossible to really pore over...

  6. Not enough

    RunBabyRN replied to Zeidant2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the strategies I learned from Kaplan were very helpful, as were the questions. I would imagine most of the strategies are in their strategies book, and I think you can get the questions for...

  7. Taking NCLEX-RN sooon!!! Advice please!!!

    RunBabyRN replied to NP2BJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would focus more on strategies than content. I found that little of my content review helped, but knowing how to prioritize and delegate made a big difference. For example, consider which patients...

  8. Postpone NCLEX?

    RunBabyRN replied to wel43's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Remember that the trick isn't 100% accurate. Hopefully you'll get better news

  9. It's Official, I am Registered Nurse (RN)

    RunBabyRN replied to May 2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!

  10. magnet status

    RunBabyRN replied to seriouslyserious's topic in California Nursing

    Magnet status is for hospitals, not for schools. It's a certification that is actually falling out of fashion, but one of the stipulations is that most of the nurses in the facility have

  11. Finding jobs as an experienced RN vs. Nurse Practitioner; looking at my future

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

    Most jobs in CA are obtained through connections, and the new grad unemployment rate is about 45-50%. There are plenty of job postings for nurses with 1-2 years' experience. That's still different...

  12. Hello Nursing Students and RN's

    RunBabyRN replied to AJTheRNStudent's topic in General Students

    For CCRN, you usually need to have a few years of ICU experience under your belt, and, I believe, ER experience. For some specialties, you *could* go straight through, but it's harder to find work if...

  13. kaplan sample test 1 and 2

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

    Ah. You just said tests one and two, and referenced QTs 6 & 7, so I inferred as much.

  14. Help! I got 2 different pop ups!

    RunBabyRN replied to Sabrina332's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It could just be that they need to review it for whatever reason. Results on hold isn't the BAD pop up. The credit card page is the bad page! Try not to read too much into it!

  15. How long did it take you to get NCLEX results in CA?

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

    [quote=>JustBreatheFrom what I've heard, the school can send a list of students anticipating graduation, and they can issue the ATT based on that, but need the official transcripts to process the...

  16. kaplan sample test 1 and 2

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

    Those are good. Kaplan wants you in the 60-65% range (or above), so you're on track. Just be aware that those ones are questions that are below the passing level, but the review of content and...

  17. Help! I got 2 different pop ups!

    RunBabyRN replied to Sabrina332's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Results on hold could go either way. There are a ton of reasons, too many to list here, why they could be on hold. Try to be patient (I know it's SOOOO hard!!!). Hopefully official results will...

  18. BRN Eligibility Letter/Email

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

    I used Kaplan. I felt that the strategies and the Q Banks and such were very helpful. It seems like content is one of those things where you can just NEVER cover EVERYTHING- as much as I covered...

  19. What did some do after failing nursing school?

    RunBabyRN replied to nursing212's topic in General Students

    The classmate that failed our program went on to accounting. I think it's a much better match for

  20. How to Resign

    RunBabyRN replied to StacyAtheNurse's topic in General Students

    Yup, just like these guys have said. Be respectful and straightforward. Thank her for the opportunity but you've received a better

  21. Hello Nursing Students and RN's

    RunBabyRN replied to AJTheRNStudent's topic in General Students

    Welcome, AJ! Just a friendly heads up, you may want to choose a more anonymous avatar. There are a lot of reasons, especially as a nursing student and RN, to protect your identity on a very public...

  22. BRN Eligibility Letter/Email

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

    There's nothing on BreEZe when you log in anymore? I would call the BRN if that's the case. Mine was still up, but it went from "pending" to "open", then eventually said I was an RN. My ATT...

  23. How long did it take you to get NCLEX results in CA?

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

    Mine posted in less than 48 hours (took the exam Wed around 1400, posted before I woke up Friday AM). I have classmates who took it about 3 weeks ago and nothing. No real rhyme or reason. They got...

  24. GPA to become a nurse?

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

    You'll need a much higher GPA for SSU. The minimum to apply is a 3.0, but even if you aced the TEAS and the essay, it wouldn't be enough to get in. I imagine Davis is much the same. Every program...

  25. Good pop up specifics

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

    And one with the screen shot:
