  1. Failed NCLEX for the 3rd time

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

    Why are you failing? When it's been that long, it might be worth it to do a content review, and to really consider a course and going over your textbooks. You'll really need to know how to...

  2. Heading to Nursing 4!! Preparing to practice for NCLEX

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

    DON'T overdo it. Also, it's so far away that doing all of the questions now will reduce how much they will help you when you really need them- in December. I started studying content in Feb,...

  3. Kaplan trainer test 6 and 7

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

    I would just go over the rationales. I kept a notebook nearby and wrote down topics to review (with check boxes), because sometimes, I would just come across something that I really needed to review....

  4. I passed NCLEX at 88 questions

    RunBabyRN replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!! I just took mine today, so hopefully, I'll have the same post soon! :) Good luck with the med/surg

  5. rant

    RunBabyRN replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    I had to start watching that show for awhile because my mother-in-law was constantly coming to me with claims from the show. Same goes for my weight loss forum. Aaarg!! Yes, the man will endorse...

  6. Who hires Everest Graduates

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

    I heard a similar story from a friend who attended (the first part of) their massage program at another campus. No instructor several times, curriculum completely changing because of new instructors,...

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

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

    Here's hoping! Not calling anything until it's official.

  8. Which is worse-studying or waiting?

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

    I totally caved. Good pop up. Still not convinced, but feeling about 5% better. LOL I'm not counting on anything until official results are posted. Kind of glad I'm skeptical, because I really...

  9. Pearson Vue Pop Up Meanings

    RunBabyRN replied to RN_Student14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it's a stretch to say it's 99.9% correct, because at best, even using this informal survey 2014 Pearson Vue Trick (PVT) Poll - View Poll Results , it's only about 90% correct. Like condoms,...

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

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

    OK, I caved, and I got the good pop up, but I'm still not any more reassured than I was. At least I'll know whether or not the PVT worked for me.

  11. Which is worse-studying or waiting?

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

    Cali is HORRIBLE. It took over a month to get my ATT from when my check was cashed (which was about a month after I mailed it). Check cashed 5/8, ATT arrived 6/13. My classmates are seeing official...

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

    Did you officially

  13. Which is worse-studying or waiting?

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

    OMG, the wait for the ATT was tough, but now having the NCLEX done, waiting for the results is

  14. Has anyone seen this on the BON?

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

    Congratulations!!!

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

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

    Aw, you're so sweet! I sure hope you're right!

  16. NUTRITION

    RunBabyRN replied to KAB88's topic in General Students

    The Kaplan Content Review Guide has a whole page/table about special diets for various diagnoses. Did you not have a textbook with

  17. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

    RunBabyRN replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I keep debating whether or not to do the trick, as I took mine today as well. I just don't totally trust the trick, and honestly wouldn't trust the results either way! Maybe I should just for the...

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

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

    I finished in about 45 minutes, too. I am now entertaining the idea of the PVT, but I don't trust it. Congrats to

  19. The Letters of Recommendation for Applications

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

    Keep it strictly people who know you professionally. Are you absolutely certain that you need them? I didn't need a single one,

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

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

    I cried a little when I got downstairs and saw my husband. We picked up cheesecake and zinfandel on the way

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

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

    I found myself hoping for more questions, too! I made a decision not to do the PVT (because frankly, I don't trust it), so I just have to wait it out. Of course CA doesn't participate in Quick...

  22. PASSED the NCLEX in 75 questions!

    RunBabyRN replied to nurserachael33's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you for posting this! I just took my NCLEX (sitting in the lobby waiting for my husband to get back from Starbucks), and I feel certain I just failed with 75. I'm glad I'm not the only one...

  23. Pre-rep for nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to Gaylord27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would strongly suggest doing your prereqs at a community college and saving your money over SJSU's tuition. Doing your classes at a university won't give you any kind of advantage. To answer your...

  24. Starting accelerated bachelor program

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

    In general, no, you won't have access to financial aid. That said, I am NOT a financial aid expert in any sense of the word, so I would talk to the financial aid office at your new school. You can...

  25. Diffrence between RN programs in California

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

    These guys have posted some great info for you. The CSUs, in general, have a good reputation, but yes, they're very difficult to get into. Keep your GPA as high as humanly possible, particularly in...
