If you have studied the material from class, you should have no problems passing the exam. However, even the most prepared student can have issues. Use your books, notes & google questions on a separate laptop. -DO NOT take the exam with a group...

A few points: -Do practice nclex questions. You can use your nclex book, but only focus on diseases you will be tested on. Do the questions & read the rationales. -Slow down. Read every word/sentence carefully. Figure out what's being asked. Just...

Hi all, I have friends who are both in traditional ADN and BSN nursing programs. The question came up about "which program is harder". As I told my friends who are in ADN programs (who I hope are still my friends ) I just feel that BSN programs ...

I would stay at the community college, finish your prereqs & apply to a bachelors nursing program. I only say this because I'm thinking about the amount of money you will spend to have two bachelor degrees. Most people (not all) usually max out ...

Hello, Since you are just starting your prerequisites, I honestly would not worry about supplies for the nursing program. I know its exciting to get new folders, pens, paper lol. I would focus on getting A's in all of my prerequisite classes & s...

The OP is desperate to become a nurse. Its clear she wants to jump right into a program. She is unable at this point to look at the entire picture. All she is focusing on is "becoming a nurse." Nursing school will impact her entire life financially, ...

I too have always been puzzled as to "why" people decide to not get licensed and years later want to. I'm sorry, but there should be some type of law against this in all states. A time cap. Scary to know you received permission after 8 years. I cou...

Hello, I'm curious to know did you get the pharm class approved before taking it? Meaning do you have an email from your nursing advisor stating that the pharm class would be transferable? I'm confused as to why you would be kicked out? Why didn't t...

Last time I checked, this was a public forum full of strangers. Who mentioned anything about her "caring", about what I thought? If you don't like the way I worded MY comment, SO WHAT. The OP is well aware of scholarships, financial aid, loans, work...

No you are not. I think it sounds stupid to be honest. "Where's my aide?", "Where's my nurse?". Really? The nurses I work with and other techs on the floor refer to each other by name. Makes me wonder what these nurses and cna/aides/techs refer to hi...

Judgement??? I haven't said anything that hasn't already been said by other posters. Scholarships, financial aid, and taking out a small student loan could help with cost. Doesn't matter if a person "stumbled" upon her site as I stated, or in your w...

If the OP wants to degrade herself for a few dollars (I recall her saying she made $400 bucks, lol) let her. I would NEVER do such a thing. Not so much from what others might say or think, but what my family would think of me. The disappointment &...

I don't think taking out student loans is a bad thing. I think it depends on "how much" is taken out. Try working part time first to see how things go. I know TOO many students who have failed classes, failed completely out of the program or barely p...

Why does it matter to you how many chances someone else gets? I understand you have the right to feel this way. I too read some of the stories on here, and shake my head in disbelief. Seriously, it doesn't take away from the hard work that you do. Yo...

Please disregard the disrespectful response from autism4life.” I have a 9 year old nephew who is Autistic. I did not feel you were using your child's disability as a crutch or wanting sympathy. I am not a mother, but I have been a part of his life ...

Hi, - For my patho class, I used "Pathophysiology Made Easy." -Med surg I used "Fluid & Electrolytes Made Easy." Also Silvestri Saunders NCLEX 6th ed (purple book). -I used my pharm book when I took pharm, but now I am thinking about getting a ...

I'm so sorry to hear that you failed out of your program. Is this your first fail or second? As I enter my senior year of my program, this is the biggest fear of mine. Seeing that you did not give any details on "why" you failed, I will say this: -Re...

Talk to your instructor. I don't know what kind of student you are, but hopefully if you have participated in class, good attendance and you have a good relationship with the instructor, the grade will be rounded.

It depends. If the exam is cumulative & you have struggled this entire semester, you are gonna be in trouble. If it's new material, review your notes, read any tables & charts in your book, do practice NCLEX questions to make sure you can app...

Hmmmm, I don't see anything wrong with the girl calling herself a nurse. As someone stated above, I think she is just really happy. It's really not that serious. It's not like she is giving people medical advice. Let her have her have her moment. She...

I'm also in a bsn program & next semester is loaded for me. I was lucky to get all the syllabus from this semester that just ended for my classes next semester. I plan to read the readings & take notes on what I've read. My books will be here...

If school did not start in Jan, I would go. Unfortunately that's not the case. I wouldn't go. Yes, you can try to get out of it, BUT there is no guarantee. If I received a letter, I'm not going. PERIOD. I have worked too hard, invested my time, money...

The university did allow her to take off a year and come back. This was before her mothers condition worsened, then the strokes, and lastly her dying. My friend said she turned in the last research paper 1 day past the deadline and got points deducte...

Additional, bonus or extra points, whatever you want to call them are just that. For example, when exams are graded, and the instructor runs into issues with a test question that majority of the class got wrong and "fight" the question, the point is ...

I'm simply stating what mrsboots87 said she has NEVER done . I don't need people to agree with me, but when someone decides to be dishonest for whatever the reason, at least make it believable. It's not even something serious enough to even be tempte...
