  1. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

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

    Haha, I STILL don't trust it 100%, but I acknowledge it's GENERALLY

  2. NCLEX 2014/Kaplan

    RunBabyRN replied to Go Knights's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Passed Wednesday with 75 questions (official results posted this morning!). I found the Kaplan questions harder than the NCLEX questions, which is fine with me! Here are my Kaplan scores: Diagnostic:...

  3. Q TRAINERS..

    RunBabyRN replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The diagnostic and the readiness are similar. As far as Q Trainers 6 and 7 being harder, it's how your brain works. For me, those were the kinds of things that were easier, and what I found more of...

  4. Questions most similar to NCLEX questions?

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

    I can't really compare, as I only had ATI for school, then used Kaplan. I felt that the ATI questions were more like the lower level (non-passing) questions, and that the Kaplan questions were harder...

  5. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

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

    Good luck! I hope it went well for you! :) The pop up was accurate for me, but that's only one

  6. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

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

    Officially passed!! My license posted this morning, less than 48 hours later (in CA)! Woo

  7. What gift to get for a nursing student?

    RunBabyRN replied to Bluebell.'s topic in General Nursing

    Etsy has some cute badge holders that say things like "Future RN". You can also get one personalized. What's your budget? $10 vs. $100 makes a difference!

  8. From BSN to HM

    RunBabyRN replied to ADCo2's topic in Government, Military

    I have the same question- why HM over nurse corps? To answer your question, no, you would not be able to bypass A school. A lot of what we learned in corps school I never learned in nursing school....

  9. SRJC 2014/ 2015

    RunBabyRN replied to mswtruth's topic in California Nursing

    I didn't attend their program, but just graduated from SSU, so I have experience with SRJC RN students and nurses working with them (from my own clinical experience). They have a very good...

  10. Job hunting in California

    RunBabyRN replied to Mrscas0113's topic in California Nursing

    Even with other medical experience, most of the jobs I've applied for have sent me the same response. Remember that for every job posting, they are literally getting hundreds of applicants. It's...

  11. How to study????

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

    You'll have to experiment and figure out what works for you. NOW is the time to sort this out, as you DO NOT want to be figuring this out in nursing school! For me, note cards are my #1. I also do...

  12. If not a BSN, then what?? Thinking of quitting>>>>

    RunBabyRN replied to Seaghdha's topic in General Students

    I think the realities that hit in the first semester happen to A LOT of people, especially if they haven't worked in acute health care before. However, once you're able to swallow that pill a bit,...

  13. Oh mah gaaah I just want to celebrate!!

    RunBabyRN replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in General Students

    Great job!!! Sounds like an intense semester for

  14. Prescriptions and Drug Testing

    RunBabyRN replied to ATBStudent's topic in General Students

    Disclose for sure, just in case. Plenty of nurses and nursing students have psychiatric diagnoses, and/or take prescriptions for various issues. We're human, just as our patients are. :) Don't...

  15. Failed NCLEX for the 3rd time

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

    I would really look at taking a class like Kaplan, where it's focused on the strategies, because it sounds like this is an area that's a struggle for you. I think that was what helped me the most....

  16. Kaplan and hurst together

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

    She hasn't posted anything about taking her exam yet, so I'm not sure. I'm not sure what you mean by "I heard that everything they tell you far as how to study u have to do it that way ?" I would say...

  17. Is it okay to just use one or 2 studying sources??

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

    I started reading it in Feb or March! I put tabs on the pages I needed to review (make notecards for), and removed them as the cards were made. I also put post-its up on the bathroom mirror and...

  18. First name on my DL doesn't match the name on my ATT

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

    I agree, it's worth a phone call. Hope it all works

  19. GOT MY ATT TODAY

    RunBabyRN replied to Shandra2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck! Don't overwhelm yourself with a bunch of different approaches. I would just choose a couple (maybe one for content and one for strategies- my vote is Kaplan for strategies) and stick with...

  20. Passed NCLEX and YES PV Trick works!!!

    RunBabyRN replied to Kellz321's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!

  21. Kaplan and hurst together

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

    I have a classmate who chose to do both, and she really liked Hurst for content. She didn't like that the Kaplan class didn't include content, but I found it was really good, because it was more...

  22. Kaplan Qbank Question

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

    If you can swing it, spend a little extra and do the Kaplan class (even the online version). The tips and tricks for approaching the NCLEX were invaluable, IMO. Is there a Kaplan seminar coming up...

  23. Is it okay to just use one or 2 studying sources??

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

    I was told by several people to just stick with one resource. They all have their merit, but it can easily become overwhelming to try to do them all. I did Kaplan, and got through most of the Q Bank...

  24. Took (today) NCLEX June 19, 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to topaz1100's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm in the same position- took mine yesterday (for there an hour early and left before my scheduled time of 2PM!). Good pop up. Fingers crossed for us

  25. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

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

    See, that's what's throwing me. I felt like I was getting easy questions. :/ Maybe I'm just psyching myself
