   ViperJustin replied to hmvassar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   UWorld (and the Mark Klimek notes) work. I just passed (after my third attempt) the NCLEX. I searched for the NCLEX Guide on AllNurses.com, rewrote all those notes, and used UWolrd. I also have a...

   ViperJustin replied to ViperJustin's topic in Nevada Nursing

   The CNA program in CSN isn't doing too well. They need more students to go through the program and pass. So to get into the RN program, you're going to need the CNA certification first. It's just...

   ViperJustin replied to ViperJustin's topic in Nevada Nursing

   I'm lucky, because I'm retired Air Force. I don't need to work. On that note, I studied about 50 hours a week during the second semester and about 30 during the first. Lowest points was around 28 or...

   ViperJustin posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

   I haven't signed on much this last semester. It was hectic, to say the least. I figured that after two semesters, I'll give anyone (who cares) a quick review of the first two semesters of the nursing...

   You must attend all three. With 34 points, you should be just fine getting accepted. Acceptance calls happen within a few weeks every year, it all depends on applicants. The best thing to do is get...

   Oops. The first paper is based on a person of your choosing. But the person must be at least 70 years old. The second paper is based on one of your patients at the clinical

   Yes. All of your clinical worksheets are based off of your actual patients. Same with both of your papers. So that's why you can't get ahead

   Lastly, NEVER be late or unprepared for clinical. So prep your information and all your supplies the night before so all you need to do is grab the bag and

   It depends on your instructor. But, this is how it worked for me... First three weeks of clinical are ACE. It's a just like lab, but 6 hours long. You learn some very basic things there. But it's...

    There's no study guides in fundamentals. You get one in pharm, depending on the instructor. Everything in Nursing 101 is testable, including stuff you learn in lab and clinical. BUT, the clinicals,...

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    For me, pharm was the hardest. I had a difficult time with it. Then fundamentals. Get used to using the questions from your book (and the quizlet app) Those are the kind of questions that are in the...

    The only thing your points and GPA are good for is entry into the program. I entered with a 3.3ish (3.4, just looked at my papers) GPA and 38 points. It means nothing when choosing your class...

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    All tests are multiple choice with a math problem thrown in (usually just one). I did not work, but I have two kids that I watch when my wife works. I find it nearly impossible to study with them. I...

    Well that's over... Grades are in, and I passed. I SHOULD have a B, but the extra credit points are all jacked up. I'll have to talk about it at my advisor meeting tomorrow. Second semester is just...
