    Hey guys. Just wanted to post this for inspiration for anyone who needs this. I came to this site looking for direction after flunking out of a nursing program from years ago. I decided to come back...

  2. Finished my 2 year RN program...

    Nursing pursuit replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in New York Nursing

    I’ve been through that and more. I’ve had someone drop out days before classes started and I ended up getting a spot. I’d stay on top of that because people do drop out at the last minute...

  4. Failed out of nursing school

    Nursing pursuit replied to PRican's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to go through something similar to this. I withdrew from LPN med surge due to failing my exams and the second time around I barely passed. I would see if you can gather some material for the...

  7. What schools allow you to challenge the LPN boards in the United States?

    Nursing pursuit replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It would only be worth it if you can challenge the LPN boards after the first year is done in a two year RN program. I thought those kinds of programs existed but I haven’t heard of

  8. What schools allow you to challenge the LPN boards in the United States?

    Nursing pursuit replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That’s pretty much all my nursing courses in my RN program if you have to finish all that. In my program, you would be graduating with your RN by the time you completed all those classes and there...

  9. What is the reason you are choosing to go into nursing?

    Nursing pursuit replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The simple answer for me is because I’ve always portrayed myself as a healer. I’ve helped many people in my past with all kinds of problems so this field does match with what I’ve been doing as...

  10. LPN program in NY

    Nursing pursuit replied to Erika's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LPN will not make you good money. I was a Medical Assistant (not certified) before getting my LPN and was making $20.65 an hour and as a new LPN I get $20.45 an hour. Also, agency companies will screw...

    Nursing pursuit replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I’m an LPN already. I went to school for it and graduated from my program and passed my boards obviously. I’m just curious, that’s all. If anything, this question will help other people who are...

  12. What schools allow you to challenge the LPN boards in the United States?

    Nursing pursuit replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know an RN student can’t just walk in on the NCLEX-PN. I just wanted to see which colleges and states allowed challenging the NCLEX-PN based off of some completed RN

  13. Starting nursing school this fall. Any tips?

    Nursing pursuit replied to Jeage's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hey! Here’s what I would do. First thing, form a small clique with motivated and experienced people because from my experience, teachers don’t want to teach things like taking vitals so be...

  14. Starting D’Youville nursing program Fall’19 !

    Nursing pursuit replied to Ezzy's topic in School, College Programs

    I’m just curious, does D’Youville use HESI exit exams like other nursing schools? It seems like HESI is the new wave because it’s popping up a lot around

  15. Is UWorld enough to study and pass the HESI exit exams?

    Nursing pursuit posted a topic in General Students

    So in my program, I need an 850 or more on all my HESI exams. The one I have coming up is for Maternal Newborn next month and I see UWorld has 163 questions in the bank. I just want to know if...

  16. Dismissed from a Nursing Program (Need Advice)

    Nursing pursuit replied to nursing123's topic in General Students

    True. If I had listened to people in this forum, I wouldn't have been readmitted to the RN program. It's hard to get back in, but it can be done if you shop

    Nursing pursuit posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey guys, so I want to share what worked for me and what didn't work me in terms of the first semester of the RN program. Six years ago I took my RN courses with Microbiology and failed two of my...

  19. Advice on Strategies to Pass Med Surg from Students Who've Been There Before

    Nursing pursuit replied to bob bib's topic in General Students

    Wow, your school allows 3 attempts at a nursing course? That’s generous of them since most schools including mine is 2 attempts only. What I do for all my nursing courses is write out your my notes....

  20. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    Nursing pursuit replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    Even half of the class failing seems to be the norm. In my school when 80% of the class failed out only then was action taken against the instructor. For the first time ever, the nursing course was...

  21. Is it better to stick with a speciality or should I diversify my nursing experience?

    Nursing pursuit posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, so this is something I’m wondering as I will be starting my first nursing position as an LPN. Because LPNs are so limited in my hospital, they’re specialities seem to be all over the place. Is...

  22. Is it better to stick with a speciality or should I diversify my nursing experience?

    Nursing pursuit replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I’m not sure what my goal is. I’ve thought about being a pediatric RN but the downside to that is that I wouldn’t know anything else which may make it hard to accept side gigs through...

  23. Dismissed from a Nursing Program (Need Advice)

    Nursing pursuit replied to nursing123's topic in General Students

  24. Need advice, waited too long to take NCLEX

    Nursing pursuit replied to rnpediyuh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX-PN 3 years later and still passed by using UWorld. I didn't even finish all the questions in the bank because I believe in quality over quantity. If I knew a certain amount of info....

  25. LPN to RN without the bridge option

    Nursing pursuit replied to Aspirational Beauty's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm an LPN and I started from square one by choice. I just found out today that I passed all my classes. The reason I started over was because I failed out 6 years ago but it has worked out better for...
