   Doodlebug21 replied to NeeceeNee2's topic in New Nurse

   In my experience, for nursing school we were required to take a HESI exit exam. They wanted us to have a 900, I ended up with an 840. For NCLEX I ONLY used UWorld which I thought was a wonderful refresher. I used all of the questions and my exams wer...

5. Could I transfer credits from ADN to LPN program

   Doodlebug21 replied to Pingo7's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Some schools, at least where I'm from, after the first year of nursing school you're allowed to sit for the NCLEX-PN. I know a few people who have done it just to gain some work experience as a nurse in LTC to get into the hospital quicker. I am from...

   Doodlebug21 replied to cherrybee's topic in NCLEX

   Honestly, I wish I had this book when I took the NCLEX-PN the first time. Nearly half of my test was priority and pt. teaching. Since I bought the book, it helped out tremendously! I highly recommend this book, it contains multiple choice, SATA, and ...

8. NCLEX help!!

   Doodlebug21 replied to Doodlebug21's topic in NCLEX

   The book we used for Pharm was "Basic pharmacology for Nurses" I think we touched the book a total of 2 times the entire semester. The biggest issue was that the teacher wouldn't come in most days or she would assign us drug cards for homework but th...

9. NCLEX help!!

   Doodlebug21 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I attended a one year LPN program October 2014-October 2015. Little did I know that the entire school was a joke. They cared little about the students and entirely about the money. Yes, I passed, as everyone did. I took the NCLEX November 2015 after ...
