  1. Filing for NCLEX but Recently got Married - Can I use my maiden name?

    RunBabyRN replied to KLS324's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would go with your current legal name. Your maiden name will also go on the application, so your transcripts will still get paired with your application. I know some of mine are in my maiden name...

  2. wrong answer for kaplan question???

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

    Kaplan loves Demerol, but I know in nursing school and ATI, Demerol is the devil and is rarely given anymore. I wouldn't stress too much over this one. There were a couple of those types of questions...

  3. What does this pop up mean? Please HELP..

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

    Unfortunately, CA doesn't participate in Quick Results. OP, mine posted less than 48 hours after I tested. However, I have a classmate who took hers almost 3 weeks ago, and her results haven't...

  4. Thank you all

    RunBabyRN replied to 4mykids04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm glad to hear you're doing better! I know this is a really tough thing to accept, but moving forward and coming through with strength will be very empowering! Best of luck!

  5. Kaplan Qbank Question

    RunBabyRN replied to Nurse2beMN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Like the Kaplan FB page. They have coupon codes (there was one yesterday apparently) for different services, which might be helpful. :) You've got

  6. Decided to try out Kaplan

    RunBabyRN replied to Stdntnurse101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They allowed you to do this? We had very strict instructions NOT to "brain dump" onto the whiteboard, and were told that we would be excused from the exam if we did that. You either know that stuff...

  7. Textbooks

    RunBabyRN replied to hotmessmanda's topic in General Students

    I just graduated, and I'm selling all of my books. With how fast advancements happen and research updates what we know, our books are outdated before they're printed. You can find more current books...

  8. BSN Questions

    RunBabyRN replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    The BSN is all about leadership and evidence-based practice. You have a whole class dedicated to research, one to leadership, and other theory-based elements that differ from ADN programs. I think...

  9. A week before my exam...

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

    I agree about taking a day or two to recharge. I hit that wall, too, and it took allowing myself a little break and then really buckling down to get back to

  10. Feeling like a real idiot

    RunBabyRN replied to 4mykids04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First, the PVT is NOT 100% accurate. Even from the informal survey on here, it's only about 90% accurate. Even if it IS accurate, you CAN do this again. Give yourself a few days to have a pity...

  11. Pharmacology Shmarmacology!

    RunBabyRN replied to Nurse2beMN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did Kaplan, but I just focused on the common meds like lithium, heparin, tamoxifen, etc. I am NOT a pharm whiz, and there is just no way to know every single med. I literally had 2 or 3 pharm...

  12. Decided to try out Kaplan

    RunBabyRN replied to Stdntnurse101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really felt like all of the little tips and tricks were really helpful, like focusing on the here and now and having an order for everything you need and whatever you do, don't leave the patient....

  13. Need Help/Advice

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

    Do some research on programs in your area. See if any run by a lottery system. As long as you meet the minimum requirements in this case, you're in the pot with everyone else. Be sure that any...

  14. What pre-req classes are factored?

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

    There is some variance from one school to another, but most will factor in anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and chemistry, at the very least. Others include English, psych, and/or other classes....

  15. What do you do for NCLEX eve?

    RunBabyRN replied to Sparrow91's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had a strict no-studying, unplug yourself policy the day before. By then, you either know it or you don't, and you need to CHILL. My family and I went to the beach and we had a yummy dinner and I...

  16. Fall 2014 start and hello!

    RunBabyRN replied to JulianaRose's topic in General Students

    Congrats and good luck with nursing school! So

  17. Care Plan Help

    RunBabyRN replied to mwright4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What do you have so far? What do you know about ROP? What led to the interventions that caused the ROP? We won't list it all out for you, but we can help you if you share what you have so far.

  18. need help with a maternal care plan!

    RunBabyRN replied to kimb1221's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Did she make any statements about feeding, or did you have any conversations about this? Did she say why she was alternating? Include any pertinent statements from the mom. Chances are she doesn't...

  19. What path should I take?

    RunBabyRN replied to chuchii's topic in General Students

    You can do an associate's degree in nursing (ADN/ASN) program, which would allow you to take the RN exam (NCLEX). If you wanted to pursue your bachelor's degree, you could bridge to BSN from there....

  20. Conflicted on what to pursue?

    RunBabyRN replied to meagandporter's topic in General Students

    I think which initial steps to take depends on your ultimate goal. PAs and RNs have very different scopes of practice and approaches to care. If you were to choose to go the RN route, I would start...

  21. Newbie Question

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

    Does your community college allow you to take courses while in high school? I was able to take some general ed in high school. I've never heard of a program like the one you mentioned.

  22. HElP I JUST TOOK THE NCLEX rN FOR THE 2ND TIME AND IT SAID "RESULTS ON HOLD"

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

    The "results on hold" pop up means it could go either way (same goes for any number of questions). Torture, I know! Here's hoping for good news soon!

  23. Failed Nclex 1st try

    RunBabyRN replied to 4mykids04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Have official results posted already? If this is based solely on the PVT, remember that it's not 100%. Don't beat yourself up, even if the official results do post that you didn't succeed this time....

  24. Pearson Vue Trick for NCLEX results California June 2014

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

    Congrats, nurse! A classmate of mine is going through this. It's been over 2 weeks since she tested, and she's waiting for results. Meanwhile, mine posted less than 48 hours after testing. Both of...

  25. Nursing to Doctor

    RunBabyRN replied to pre-unsure's topic in Nursing Career

    I see that you edited this, which is wise, because I think many of us (on a site full of nurses) feel that nurses have a much bigger impact on patient care than do MDs. As Esme stated, I doubt that...
