I'll have finished the first four classes in two months (and I have been being lazy). Biochemistry is next. One person here said it only took him one week to finish Biochem (granted he had all the time he needed). I'm confident I'll finish in 6 months. This program is awesome to me so far.

I'm sorry to hear about your sibling.

I wish I were more like all of you introverts. I have such a hard time not caring what others think of me that it would be hard for me to sit and chart alone without wondering what my coworkers were thinking of me (maybe they're saying I'm the weird girl, or maybe they think I'm a b**** because I don't want to talk with them). I wish I just didn't care.

I think a 2% raise would be awesome!

Good to know!

Hello everyone! I'll be getting my BSN soon and I'm wondering if I should talk to my HR department about getting a raise after I graduate. Does getting my Bachelors degree qualify me for more money if I'm already in the position? Thanks for your advice :)

Same here! I haven't read that much. But based on my pre-assessment score, I feel confident to take the actual assessment. How have you been studying?

Did you read the book at all? Memorize competencies? Watch videos? Read posted study guides? Use Quizlet? What are your secrets!?

Did you read the book at all? Did you memorize competencies? Watch videos? Read available study guides? Use Quizlet? Basically…what are your secrets?!

Hi everyone! I'll be starting July 1st! Need 40 credits to graduate and am determined to finish in one term

I think I might be!

Has anyone found answers to these questions yet? (helpful study material)

I wish someone would reply to this…I'd like to know, too! :)

Have you heard of any good online master's programs specific to mental health nursing?

If you can afford the Kaplan course, that's what I would suggest. I believe Kaplan is what helped me pass my first try in 75 questions a year and a half after graduating. They really train your brain to think NCLEX and show you exactly how to break down each question. Plus they give you videos, Question Trainers (practice tests), and QBank (a bank of tons of questions which you use to create your own tests). I did every single Question Trainer and used QBank for my weak areas. I read every single rationale, even for correct answers. I think the Kaplan test questions set you up for the difficulty of NCLEX. A lot of books just aren't as hard as NCLEX. Kaplan questions are difficult like NCELX, maybe even more difficult. They really prepare you.
