1. Receiving your ATT

   HisKonstantine replied to jessc16's topic in NCLEX

   It took almost 8 weeks to get mine. I submitted everything on time. They just told me that there were so many other applicants right now that they were back-logged.

2. Took NCLEX yesterday

   HisKonstantine posted a topic in NCLEX

   I graduated nursing school in June and waited FOREVER for my ATT. So many of my cohort had already tested and started working while I was still waiting for the OK. But it finally came and I picked my date. I was expecting to finish with 75 questions....

3. Question about nursing diagnosis 'related to' factors

   HisKonstantine replied to RagingRaptor's topic in General Students

   If this were my care plan, I would choose related to immobility because that's the most likely cause of skin breakdown. Yes, being overweight and receiving radiation can also cause breakdown but it isn't guaranteed. All caretakers must be vigilant ab...

4. TEAS exam Failed.. Help!

   HisKonstantine replied to miems630's topic in General Students

   Well .. at least you're honest with yourself knowing that you weren't able to just wing it. I spent three months preparing for my TEAS. I suggest getting yourself a study guide specifically for the TEAS and doing as many practice exams as you can and...

5. What to expect at Mental Health Placement

   HisKonstantine replied to RN Annalee's topic in General Students

   While my mental health rotation was in a hospital rather than a home setting, their care is still the same. Student nurses do a lot of listening in their MH rotation. We're not there to fix their problems. We're not there to make them better. We're t...

6. Daytona or Seminole state nursing program Spring 2016

   HisKonstantine replied to LONDA17's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am currently in Seminole State's program. I can tell you that no one that was accepted into my class had any pre-reqs left to complete. Their policy is that you can apply and be accepted if you are in the process of finishing your last pre-req. In ...

7. How do you stay sane during nursing school when you've failed a check off and you have to

   HisKonstantine replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

   You let yourself be upset for a little while (seriously. a very very small amount of time.) and then you shake it off and conquer it. Skills check offs are intimidating no matter how confident you are. They're rough but we all get through them. When ...

8. Need something positive!

   HisKonstantine replied to FTRRNKT's topic in General Students

   In my program, the GPA wasn't too important. They were more interested in how well we had done in our pre-reqs and how long ago they were finished; the older, the better.

9. Why the weight gain in Nursing School?

   HisKonstantine replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

   I'm in my fourth semester and I've definitely gained weight. My eating habits haven't changed but my activity level certainly has. I find myself sitting on my butt waaaaay more than I was before nursing school. It's not because I'm lazy but rather th...

10. Paying for Nursing School

    HisKonstantine replied to tellio015's topic in General Students

    I go to Seminole State College in Florida. There's also Valencia Stage College here that does it as well.

11. Paying for Nursing School

    HisKonstantine replied to tellio015's topic in General Students

    Have you looked into community college concurrent programs? My program is an ADN/BSN concurrent program. You do your BSN coursework as you're working on your ADN. Once you graduate with your ADN, you have one more semester and then you graduate with ...

12. Ebook or Textbook?

    HisKonstantine replied to Injection Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I like to have my resources in eBook. I absolutely have to have my textbooks as a physical copy. I stare into those pages for hours. My eyes would fall out of my head if I tried to read a screen for that long. Now a success book, lab book, or another...

13. Note taking in class....how do you do it.

    HisKonstantine replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    I switch it up a little bit every semester depending on the instructor's teaching style and the content. This semester is Advanced Med-Surg so there's a lot of content. I'm typing my notes in class this time. We get our lecture notes ahead of time so...

14. I love Nursing School

    HisKonstantine replied to Golfer87's topic in General Students

    This was my entire OB class this past summer. The day before every exam, we had a lecture on brand new material. It was really rough. But! If I can do it, so can you! Good luck!

15. Online statistics class

    HisKonstantine replied to britthohenbrink's topic in General Students

    I didn't take stats online, I took it traditionally on-campus. It doesn't involve a lot of math so I found it to be easier than previous courses. I could have done better in the class over-all but I slacked off in the end. Just keep up with your assi...
