I didnt have any drag/drop or drugs on my nclex

Forgot to post that I had actually passed :)

My test shut off at 85 questions. I had 16 select all questions, two dosage calculation, and the rest were a blur to be honest. I'm not feeling confident at all. I think I failed. I'm soo upset [emoji31]

They are fine to take together and getting them done now will mean that you don't have to do them when you are taking your nursing courses. That was what I did :)

I don't want to be a NP. I want to teach students [emoji4]

I couldn't tell if this was serious either!!!

I use a Mac, and I loooove my Mac. I got the Mac version of Microsoft word for it, so it automatically is compatible. I don't need to change any formatting. Suggestion though, if you get a Mac, get the air not the pro. I NEVER use the cd drive, except for an occasional redbox. It will be so much lighter to carry :)

Exactly! LTC is is ridiculous. But I have seen some people who love it and really do well there.

I worked one job as a CNA on a Cardiac step down unit. It's there where I really learned I wanted to be a nurse. I worked with mostly amazing nurses who showed me skills and helped me with my pre-reqs. Yes there are ****** nurses out there, and lazy lazy CNAs, the work can be rough sometimes but obviously you had to have realized that poop, puke and grunt work was in the job description. It's not easy I know that. It's what you take away from it, and how you make your experience. If it was sooooo bad where you worked, maybe you should have looked elsewhere. Not all places are that bad.

You sound like me, I didn't do good in high school. But when I figured out I wanted to be a nurse I took community college classes for "pre nursing" and tried my butt off for the best grades I could possibly get. If you have the ambition, then you can do it. Good luck!

And a 96 today. So I'm happy with it :)

During all my pre-reqs, psych, A&P, med term, I never bothered to figure out what was my way of studying. I kind of just winged it. But of course nursing school is a whole new ball game. All year I've been doing note cards, and focusing on all the wrong material. It really did take me this long to find what worked best for me. But I'm bridging for my RN in August so at least I'll know my studying ways for when I start that.

With only 44 days until graduation. Haha! I learned that this is my best way to study. I pay attention in class and jot down things my teachers say on my power point.. I get home and read the chapter topic by topic and write my own notes on the pathology, signs/symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and nursing interventions. Reading the chapter and writing my own words is the best. Screw making a million notecards every week. I only make note cards for lab values and medical terminology if i don't know it by now. I've made a 98, and a 94 on my last two tests that I've taken by studying this way. I hope this may help someone along the line.

Omg please just stop.
