UGH. I know this is an old thread but I'm losing it over here. Just found a Kaplan ? that says morphine is first (I picked O2 and got it wrong). But a LaCharity question said O2 was first. And someone posted a question about this over on Learning Ext...

ABG_LING_68, I'm reviving this super old thread because I have the same frustration with Kaplan drag and drops. Were they similarly arbitrary on the NCLEX, or did they stick to prioritizing / procedural questions where the exact order of operations a...

Good for you! I wish I could nail down a strategy change that would improve my scores, but according to Kaplan I'm more likely to change answers from incorrect to correct so I know that's not my issue. I am just *so* frustrated with these Kaplan que...

Flourish, it sounds like your test date is a couple weeks before mine- I hope you will update us!

Congratulations- may I ask what your Kaplan scores were like (including the QBank)?

Hi all, I plan to take the NCLEX in about a month and I am really struggling with pharm. I have read other threads on this topic, and advice ranges from "Don't bother, there are too many drugs, just know basic categories" to "Buckle down and memoriz...

I'm in the same boat! To me, UWorld's questions are much more clearly written, even though they require the same level of knowledge and critical thinking. My UWorld scores are pretty good, my Kaplan scores are making me feel discouraged. :-/ I'll be ...

That's great to know- and I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks Kaplan needs a copy editor. I am almost completely done with the UWorld Qbank and I'll be sure to go through all the pharm questions again. Did you see many general questions about...

I would have LOVED to have a general pharm course early in the program. We did have a separate med calc and principles of medication admin pre-req and pharm integrated into each course, but I could have used more instruction regarding specific medica...

Please no judgmental comments? I attended the program that worked with my family / financial / work obligations (and turned down a spot in a competitive accelerated BSN program in order to do so). I'm doing my best to fill in the gaps in my education...

That's a good question. I've heard mixed things about this. I will finish my ASN in May and will be starting an online BSN through a SUNY school. I only have to do 30 credits because of my prior BA + additional courses I took over the years, so I am ...

Hi there, I don't have the answer for you, but I'll share my experience. I also have a BA in another field, and am considering becoming an APN. I had a choice between SUNY Downstate (ABSN with very reasonable in-state tuition) and BMCC (ASN program w...

I have mainly researched distance programs and programs in NYC offering NP and CNM, but I know of several MSN programs that accept ASN + BA. Frontier (with portfolio), NYU, Columbia, Pace, Duke, GW, Vanderbilt... SUNY Stonybrook is a public universi...

Every RN-BSN program I've looked at requires you to do 30 credits in residence regardless of prior education, and they are usually structured to take at least 2 semesters or one full calendar year. If anyone knows of an exception to the rule, please ...

Did you find anything?

Hi @ryanalice, I would love an update! I also have a BA and am about to start the clinical phase of an ASN program. I hope to become a CNM or FNP after I get my RN. How are your job and grad school prospects looking? You must be (almost?) finished by...

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I'm dying to know: how did things work out for those of you who had BAs and opted to get your ASN at BMCC? I am leaning toward going this route (nights and weekends while working), rather than applying to ABSN pro...

Hi everyone, I am finishing up my pre-reqs at BMCC and I would love some advice from current BMCC nursing students or recent graduates. I have seen a few threads on this topic but most are at least a couple years old. My situation: I have an unrelat...

Personally, I am not really concerned about human cadavers- they consented, after all! I'm not squeamish, I just don't want to dissect or experiment on animals who were farmed and / or killed for that purpose. If anyone has taken A&P I at BMCC in...

Thanks for your reply! What kind of documentation did you bring? Did you go to BMCC, or do you know anyone who went there recently? A friend who took A&P there a year or two ago said they didn't do any dissections, but I found a current syllabus...

Hey, veggienursenyc. I know this is an old thread, but I am wondering whether you ended up having to do the dissection. I'm registered for A&P I next semester and I'm also concerned about this. I'm vegan, too. I hope nursing (or nursing school) i...
