  1. Hurst vs NCSBN any preference?

    I would also have to say NCSBN! The questions and the rationales helped me out a lot and I noticed that NCLEX asked me some things that NCSBN had and Hurst didn't. Good luck!

    18 weeks in the OR with classroom/simulation/lab. This is a Versant program.

    Highly recommend doing Lacharity! It's what saved me from all the delegating and prioritizing questions on the NCLEX.
  7. Hurst online review anyone???

    You're welcome! The questions are the very end of the section, where it lists 1-10, 11-20, 30-40, 40-50 and pharmacology questions are 50-55.
  8. Hurst online review anyone???

    I believe that Hurst is the best for content. Marly explains it in a way that makes you remember the content. I also used PDA, which is very very important. I purchased the 3 week course NCSBN and just did the questions (They have about 1100 question...

  15. Hi everyone, I've been watching videos from Evolve and Youtube for the Foley Catheter insertion and practicing in front of my classmates. I have one question about the sterile technique part that I'm not sure about. The videos didn't clear up my conf...

  17. Versant Programs 2014

    I accepted an offer for the OR position in FW. For those still waiting, don't give up! I honestly did not think I was going to get this due to me being late to the interview and bungling some answers so it was definitely an unexpected call I answered...
  18. Versant Programs 2014

    Definitely know how you feel Briterz! I practice and practice but when it's the actual interview, I can't string together a quality sentence. Sigh.

    Hi What Nurse? ! Welcome. From what I have heard and seen, the trend is now going towards BSN or above. I'm graduating in May 2014 and a lot of the hospitals that are hiring require a BSN or if you currently have an ADN, they require you to obtain a...
  21. Versant Programs 2014

    SSRM.. from what I remember in mine, I had routing to folder right after I applied. So routing to folder went before considering. I don't know if this is the same for everyone or not but from my experience, that's the order it went. I checked every d...
  22. Versant Programs 2014

    Hi there! Under Review is better. For THR, I believe it goes like this.. Considering > Application under review > Forwarded to hiring manager > Interview Scheduled Good luck!
  23. I love your post!! Definitely true, especially the part of the 'You graduated valedictorian. .. When did you become so dumb'.
