Has anyone attended these? Any stories/experiences? ...whether or not you enjoyed it or learned anything or were able to network? I'm going to one this year and just wondering what they're like. TIA :)

Makes so much sense, thank you.

Can I piggyback this question and ask about priority? How do you know which to address FIRST? Say you have an adult with 30 RR and 89 sats, why would you address the sats first? (Saw a question somewhere and that was the answer)

Thanks for sharing, everyone! Interesting to read all the different perspectives.

I've seen some dissension on this topic, so because I'm nosy and bored, I wanted to pose this question: When entering nursing school, did you aim for As or were you mostly looking to pass? I want to make it clear that I'm not accusing those simply wanting to pass as settling for mediocrity or whatever, I'm just wondering if you've decided, for whatever reason (you can include the reason, if you want), that your priorities lie in getting your degree, learning your skills, and passing the nclex and not so much graduating with a 4.0. Oh, and can you include whether or not you have kid(s) and/or work? As well as whether or not your priorities changed once you'd started (if you have) or the reality of nursing school changed your outlook on what you were aiming for grade-/performance-wise. I don't want to start a debate, so please everyone, let's respect each other and not demean or question anyone's personal choices! No judgement! I'll start... my gpa over several majors and years isn't as high as I'd like it to be, so I'm aiming for As because I'd like to further my education and want to be competitive. I do have kids (babies/toddlers), so I know reality might set in once I start lol. Hoping to hear stories from other moms who aimed for, and successfully, achieved an A average in NS!

Jenny, I sent you a PM!

Thanks Pixie!! And thanks Harry the Cat, and Pixie for the following heads up!

Ok, so just repeat a lot of the words they used specific to that job announcement? Is there any way to know which words are the right or best ones to repeat? (I feel like I'm being so dense right now, sorry!) Thanks for your reply!

I remember reading somewhere to include certain keywords in your resume and application when applying for federal jobs. I forget the terminology used, but it was something other than "keywords." Am I imagining this? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Because, of course, now I can't find the info anywhere. If anyone has any idea where I could find this info or search terms for google/threads on here where this is discussed, I'd be super appreciative!! Thanks!

Awesome advice, thanks everyone!!

Does anyone have any tips/tricks for nighttime studying. I'm a morning person and have kids, so between family stuff and work (soon to be school), I'm exhausted by the end of the day. I know the last thing I'll feel like doing is studying, but it will be the only time I'll have available. I'm so worried that my retention and understanding of the material will suffer when I'm tired. Anyone been through this? Did anything help your studying sessions become more effective even when tired? Snacks? Water? Just push through and eventually get used to it? Getting up before dawn to study then (have to be out of the house EARLY, so this would be like 5am in my case)? I'm freaking out a little :/

(This is in reply to Mayahp22) How is your job search going? Is Keiser pretty well respected by potential employers or are you having any issues with that? Also, what was your schedule like in school? I know it changes every semester, but just a general idea. Thanks for your help!

Keiser students don't really come here, unfortunately I've been trying to get more of the inside scoop, but my threads and threads I post on about Keiser just fall lower and lower down the list.

Bumping this to hopefully find any current keiser students or graduates with more information or opinions.... Wanting to hear more personal experiences, especially with jobs.

I really hope this isn't real. For the love of humanity, I hope you're some bored kid trying to get people riled up. Goodness.
