  1. How I passed NCLEX-RN in 75 questions

    sara567 posted a topic in General Students

    This site has helped me so much that I wanted to do what many before me have done and layout the path that allowed me to finish the NCLEX in 45 minutes with 75 questions. I'm not known for my brevity,...

  2. Personal Disaster Relief Packing List

    sara567 replied to InArduisFidelis's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I used to do this...extra underwear, deodorant, baby wipes, hygiene items. Steel toe, high boots. Water bottles. Most of the time you will be working with no air conditioning, limited electricity, in...

    sara567 posted a topic in Occupational Health

    Hi! I'm a new grad. I have worked in my current role, in health and safety, for many years. My office is set up from when my employer used to have a nurse and Doctor on site...I still have 2 exam...

  4. How to start OCC Health program?

    sara567 replied to sara567's topic in Occupational Health

    Good comments/suggestions. Thank you. I have been doing everything that falls under being an occ health nurse, other than actual nursing, for many years. I have been looking to find a per diem job...

  5. Do you prefer to contend with the smell of stool or the smell of Glade?

    sara567 replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    The alcohol based mouthwash mixed with some water...kills all the smells. I don't find the essential oil spray we have helps with the strongest scents we

  6. How to start OCC Health program?

    sara567 replied to sara567's topic in Occupational Health

    Thanks for the reply! I already do all the regulatory items, plus more. That part won't be an issue. I'm looking to get my COHN soon, as I have more than enough hours. i don't know how to get a...

  7. Any thoughts on Goodwin Colleges ADN and BSN Programs?

    sara567 replied to Jmoran82's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I just graduated from the Adn program, and entering the BSN program. Make sure you look at the point system if most of your gen eds are done. Depending on your grades and some other items you may have...

  8. Paramedic School before i start my BSN?

    sara567 replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Emergency

    The life knowledge that I had as a paramedic certainly helped me. I admittedly had to read and study a significant amount less than my classmates. I wouldn't say that was due to what I learned in...

  9. Paramedic School before i start my BSN?

    sara567 replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Emergency

    3rd as someone that has done both (separately) and don't recommend them both at same

  10. Paramedic School before i start my BSN?

    sara567 replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Emergency

    I wouldn't do both at the same

  11. Dexcom

    sara567 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Just as an FYI: dexcom is just one of a few brands that offer this. For none of the cgms (continuous glucose monitors) is one supposed to do treatment off the numbers that the cgm provides. It...

  12. Dexcom

    sara567 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Not a school nurse, but I am a dexcom user. They should be able to direct a time frame for when you get alerts. You can also get them sent to your

  13. dry erase board and marker at nclex

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

    No. Just something that some of us keep track of. My personal belief is that SATA is the top tier of questions with priority and delegation being right under. So a high ratio of Either of these to...

  14. dry erase board and marker at nclex

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

    What we were told is no brain dumping. You can use as many boards as you want, just raise it in the air and they get you a new one. Tbh, as the other 2 people in this post have said, all I used it...

  15. Thinking about quitting nursing school

    sara567 replied to lagirl008's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure if this is a real post or not. It's hard to imagine someone with so many inconsiderate and unprofessional people around them. I can't imagine ever dismissing my child if they stated they...

  16. Thinking about quitting nursing school

    sara567 replied to lagirl008's topic in General Students

    You have way more going on than nursing school. Not saying that no one has completed nursing school with anxiety, depression, or any other health condition, but it certainly needs to be under control....

  17. Nursing agency opportunity

    sara567 replied to bonchristy's topic in General Nursing

    So multiple parts of this is actually completely against the law. Both state and federal. Do not do it. Report them to the bbb and your Bon. What I see happening is that within a few weeks they will...

  18. Help with first semester of nursing school?

    sara567 replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. Sounds like you are in nursing school. You will get the hang of it. Just keep your head in the books and do the reading. 200 pages a week is nothing...I wish I had that in my

  19. Nclex tomorrow: just signed up today

    sara567 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After a pretty bad experience getting my application approved I received my att today. I I could either wait until March, or take the test tomorrow. Tomorrow it is. I'm freaking out. I feel so not...

  20. Did I fail the NCLEX?

    sara567 replied to Chinurse15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i'm sorry you got bad news. It doesn't mean you should give up, though. You will get the areas you need to work on and use this info to focus. Does Hurst or U-world have a guarantee? I used ATI and...

  21. Did I fail the NCLEX?

    sara567 replied to Chinurse15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    While I would tell someone that had it shut off at 75 they most likely passed, any number between 75-265 has same probability of passing...or failing. Less than 20% of people fail the nclex. If you...

  22. Took my NCLEX for second time and got 265 questions

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

    Always amazes me when people post rumors, when the info is right there on the ncsbn website. The website even tells you what is on the test! You are right about the last question. For the record here...

  23. What is passing for your nursing program?

    sara567 replied to WanderingWilder's topic in General Students

    Anything below a 77 (including 76.99999) you failed the course at my school. I have heard talks about them raising it to 80. Do your best and don't stress. honestly, if you are that close to failing...

  24. Has anyone heard of this?

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

    Many other options that are tried and true...and much less. All come with a guarantee. NCSBN has their own, with a 3,5,8, or 15 week option. It's the same content, but you pay for how long you have...

  25. Full time school and full time job

    sara567 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished: full time job (50-60 hrs) plus a lot of traveling. Admittedly, some of those hours at work were spent doing schoolwork because I had that luxury. I wouldn't have been able to do it...
