  1. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    sara567 replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, no. A job you were at for 3 days, or even only a month, would (should) never be on your resume. You got a promotion internally at a job and then found your dream job Job hopping hasn't hurt you...

  2. 15 Days to Nclex, been studying for months

    sara567 replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Students

    That is up to you. If you are weak in certain areas, study that. If you are weak at certain types of questions do more of those. The he ncsbn gives a rough idea of what will be on the exam. Go...

  3. 15 Days to Nclex, been studying for months

    sara567 replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Students

    Take a day or 2 off. Recharge and refresh. For me, I took an entire week off between school and nclex studying. It's exactly what I needed and I came back refreshed. You don't have that luxury, but...

  4. Are they training me to be a nurse or a doctor?

    sara567 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    A nursing diagnosis is what you will be doing for every patient. Without reiterating your entire lecture: go back and reread/listen. A nursing diagnosis and a medical diagnosis are totally different....

  5. Would you take NCLEX-RN when 40 weeks pregnant?

    sara567 replied to Hallgor's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got my att on Jan 26. In my area there are about 15 different locations within an hour of my house. There was one spot for Jan 27, 2 for mid-feb, and the rest in March. The chances of you getting a...

  6. Serious Problems with SATA Qs

    sara567 replied to belljar1995's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX-Rn this past week. In 75 questions I had 12 SATA and easily 30-40 priority questions. I had people in my class that also took this past week. They had up to 30 SATA, but only about 12-15...

  9. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    sara567 replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    You are over thinking things a bit. That being said, the key piece that jumps out to me is that you will be leaving the other job in a few months due to relocating. This would then show as 2 jobs on...

  10. Goodwin College???

    sara567 replied to miss_xtine's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I just graduated in December 2015. First: to get in you historically need 19 or more points on the point system (found on their website). Sometimes you can get in with an 18. I don't know anyone, in...

  12. Nclex tomorrow: just signed up today

    sara567 replied to sara567's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed!!! 75 questions in 45 minutes. It was the right decision, for me. I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, though. Taking the day before to be able to do last minute things and relax...

  13. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    sara567 replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    I had the option of going for PA or RN. I decided my RN with the end goal being an APRN with my own pediatric practice (something that I can do in my state). It will take about 2 years longer than as...

  14. Student Loan Debt

    sara567 replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Students

    Did you go to a public or private university? Privately owned, but public model. Everyone gets in. If you chose a private university what advantages did you expect over a public university? More...

  15. How to become a RN with a BSN

    sara567 replied to dfdgsag's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nursing school is difficult to get into. Where I live there are easily 10 different options, and there is still a good 3 year waiting list, or a lot of requirements (which will take about 2-3 years)...

  16. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    sara567 replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

    Is it hard? It depends. You will learn very quickly that nothing is black and white in nursing...nursing school being hard included. It is time consuming. At my school they tell us to warn our...

  17. Age and nursing school

    sara567 replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Students

    Oh to be 22. That is not old by any means. I was 31 when I started my program. The average age was probably about 30 +/- 2 years. We had 2 people at 50 or older, a handful of 40's, a lot of 25-40, and...

    sara567 replied to sara567's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've been out of class since December. I've been reviewing. I believe I'll be fine, just the normal nerves and

  19. PASSED NCLEX with 75 Q! What I did Differently

    sara567 replied to SunnySide561's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is a great story. I can't believe you were able to slow down enough that it took you that long to do 75 questions. I think that would cause panic in my head about running out of time, but it...

    sara567 replied to vicke11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    disclaimer: I don't take my nclex until January, but I am following the advice of everyone I know that has recently taken the exam. 1. get the RN mastery app for your phone. it is also online now. I...

    sara567 replied to la_chica_suerte85's topic in General Students

    I'm not a nurse, yet. I graduate my program in 2 weeks. My reasons might be unpopular, but they are mine. I've worked since 2003 in the medical field. I love medicine and patients and can't imagine...

    sara567 replied to nurmac's topic in General Students

    You will fail to meet the requirements if the requirements are to attend this HESI class 1 month later. In my school, I will get pinned in December, but I have to return in January for a 3 day review...

    sara567 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    i reported about someone that cheated, admitted she cheated, and i personally saw cheat. i never saw her again, I'm not sure if that is because she dropped out or because the school dismissed her. i...
