Depending on what you want to go for. Most BSN programs requires STATS but not all. It is good to have a basic knowledge of STATS and especially if you plan to continue with graduate work. In my personal opinion, IP and OP RNs do not use STATS in their everyday line of work. Good luck!

Regardless of your grades in nursing school, the NCLEX-RN is totally different, as the questions are all integrated! I would suggest purchasing a Kaplan book, read the entire content, and analyze how to assess the questions, so your are able to be successful on the future test. The NCLEX is difficult, but certainly not impossible. Passing it does not indicate whether you will or will not be a good nurse, but it only indicates the you can provide safe care to a patient as a new grad. Good luck!

Use the NA training and experience as a stepping stone for your RN or beyond. Good luck!

Kick their ass to the curb!!!! No one has the time for that!

OMG, I am sorry to hear this. Been a critical care RN myself, but never a finger stick! Any advice, nurses? Ben, RN

Agree, doors should be shut, but not locked. Everyone will run late here or there, and those that are chronic about it should be talked too! Ben, RN

I do not feel that professors should lock the doors after sessions have started. College students are adults or at least they should be, and are paying money for their education. Even though I do feel that it is a distraction when a classmate comes in late, but it is their choice as they will miss out on the session that is being presented by the instructor. Life is hectic and everyone has certain life circumstances. If a student is chronically late, then the instructor should discuss that situation with the student in private. Doors should remain open throughout the class session. Ben, RN

You can certainly take the Kaplan classroom prep course as well. I only bought the Kaplan NCLEX-RN book to study as I was a LPN prior to that, so I felt I didn't need the classroom portion. In any case, the NCLEX-RN exam was hard, but I do think that knowing how to answer the questions is important in passing the exam, so the Kaplan book really did help me! Good luck! Benjamin, RN

Buy the Kaplan NCLEX-RN book and study from there! :) Ben, RN
