  2. whats the best for NCLEX review

    erickz623 replied to ReadyforBoards's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can't recommend UWorld enough. I found that its format is most similar to NCLEX, which decreased my anxiety when I took the test. UWorld has great, detailed rationales for each of its questions. It...

  4. First RN job interview help!

    erickz623 replied to Babynurse1993's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As others have said, dress professionally. It's better to over do it than to come in underdressed. It's a good idea to research your organization's goals/values. Shake the interviewers' hands before...

    erickz623 replied to spring housewife's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! I took mine yesterday as well; 75 questions and I was done. I felt numb after taking that exam. I got a lot of prioritization, infection control, and chronic condition questions. I'm...

  6. Student w/ Anxiety

    erickz623 replied to Snomma's topic in General Students

    I suffer from anxiety, especially when it peaked during nursing school. It was difficult. My grades were suffering, my relationship was suffering, etc. I decided to seek help and my PCP decided to put...

  9. ati predictor to graduate

    erickz623 replied to 1apples's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was really about it too before I took it. My school paid for my program to take the ATI Live Review, which helped tremendously. They also have us a book to study. Focus on areas in ATI that you're...

  12. June NCLEX takers

    erickz623 replied to jess4923's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm taking the RN on June 13th in Southern California. I've been using UWorld as well as ATI. Both have been super helpful, but I've learned the most from UWorld since the rationales are so detailed....

  13. How you used uworld?

    erickz623 replied to Nurse_Pattycakes's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    UWorld is amazing. I currently do 150 questions a day with questions from topics that I'm weaker in. I write down the rationales for the questions I got wrong or just flat out didn't know. Keep on...

  14. Amount of time from ATT to NCLEX!?

    erickz623 replied to Joanie49's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    UWorld is amazing. I highly recommend it. Their rationales are so detailed, it's great. I've been doing 150 questions per day and studying areas I'm weaker in. I've been giving myself 2-3 weeks to...

  15. How fast did you land a job?

    erickz623 replied to johndough's topic in General Students

    I graduated on May 7th of this year, and I was hired sometime in April by a large hospital system. I start July

  16. Doing the WHOLE college thing, or complete in 18 months?

    erickz623 replied to Mae637's topic in General Nursing

    Just go for the BSN. You're going to have to do the "whole college thing" eventually. Plus, more hospitals are hiring BSNs now more than

  17. Nursing and all that paperwork

    erickz623 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    It's not easy, I can tell you that. I try to chart my rounds as soon as I do them so I'm not scrambling to chart them later in the shift. I write important details down so I don't spend time later...

  18. in need of good school of nursing

    erickz623 replied to Nanasagaly's topic in General Students

    I don't think you'll have a problem with a 4.0 GPA. Make sure you have your prerequisites done before you apply. Also, you might want to improve on your grammar just a little... Good

  19. Ways to ensure a med-surg job after graduation

    erickz623 replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about finding a job this early in your nursing career. Focus on learning the skills first. You have the option of applying to residency programs. They're specifically for new graduates. A...

  20. graduating with 3.0 - is it not good enough

    erickz623 replied to smile2906's topic in General Students

    I'm graduating with a 3.1 GPA, and I've already had 4 job offers. GPA isn't everything. It'll matter more when you apply to grad school, but it shouldn't affect your ability to get a job. Good

  21. Nursing School makes me feel dumb

    erickz623 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Don't become discouraged. I know it's hard not to, but you truly do have what it takes to pass. You have made it this far; you can definitely finish. Study the weakest areas and go from there....

  22. Other students don't think I'm good enough

    erickz623 replied to Exhuasted's topic in General Students

    Keep on trucking. Don't focus on students' negative comments. You'll find that they might feel threatened somehow, and thus feel the need to put you down. I was very shy and introverted when I...

  23. Nursing school

    erickz623 replied to menot's topic in General Students

    It really just depends. I had to change my habits completely and learn new ways to study in order to grasp all of the material that nursing school throws at you. The material itself isn't hard, but...

  24. ATI Comprehensive Predictor

    erickz623 replied to thines93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the practice tests, making sure that I studied topics that I was weaker in. I also downloaded the ATI RN Mentor app on my phone, which gives you a ton of questions from ATI. I also attended the...

  25. Clinicals?

    erickz623 replied to Ktrujil9's topic in General Students

    It depends on the school. My class was split into two groups of 6-7 each. We didn't get to choose which group we were
