  1. When your NCLEX gets cancelled the DAY of the exam!!!!

    BSN1415 replied to apff's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow I am sorry to hear that. Good luck and I hope it all goes well

  2. Failed due to ROOT any advice?

    BSN1415 replied to pithoud2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school had Kaplan built into the tuition. I think it taught me a lot of strategies, which could help you narrow down answers faster so you don't run out of time. If you fail they also will give you...

  3. Just left NCLEX RN

    BSN1415 replied to BSN1415's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the encouragement!! Around 22-23 hours after the exam I went to my PA BON license checklist website and my license went from 'pending' to 'active' with a license number. Did not have to pay...

  4. Just left NCLEX RN

    BSN1415 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm an absolute nervous wreck! I think I failed. Test shut off at 85 questions. I prepared with Kaplan and did almost the entire qbank with remediation. I also used the study guide floating around...

    BSN1415 replied to blameitonmyADD's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. I Have done the Deed: Moved NCLEX up to the 18th. AHHHH!!!

    BSN1415 replied to bonniekate89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also moved my date up. First I was scheduled the 25th and then changed to the 18th but it was out of state and I was going to stay in a hotel. Now I moved it again because another date opened up...

    BSN1415 replied to meghan03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for all the encouragement and congrats! I'm testing this week and my school also enrolled us in Kaplan (last week). I though it was a HUGE help. @nightflower the course is a lot of strategies...

  8. Kaplan and Saunders Percentages for NCLEX

    BSN1415 replied to whitneycharla09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My class had the Kaplan course built into tuition. Our teacher for the course said you should aim for 60% on the cumulative QBANK score so I would say you are in good shape there! The lady also...

  10. Jefferson FACT 2015 Applicants

    BSN1415 replied to oxrich383's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm not sure how many people apply to the program but your best bet is to apply as soon as you can so the spots don't fill up. I know a lot of people were still finishing up pre-reqs while they were...

  11. What can I do while in nursing school to increase my chances of getting hired?

    BSN1415 replied to fatrabbit's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definitely try to be a CNA. I know that around me, you are already eligible for some jobs at hospitals just by having one clinical rotation done, so you don't even need the certification. You can also...

  12. Timeline for graduation, NCLEX, and 1st RN Job

    BSN1415 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks!@friendlyelse I actually called them today and they said to just keep waiting. I graduated 5/27 and the school sent verification that day to the BON that I graduated. From that point, it can...

  13. Timeline for graduation, NCLEX, and 1st RN Job

    BSN1415 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am curious to know too! Which state did you take your boards in? I am taking them in PA. It's a relief to me to see you were able to schedule your test so quickly because I want to have a test date...

  14. What are the best nursing schools to learn neurology on the East Coast?

    BSN1415 replied to swimmingfever00's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I go to Thomas Jefferson University (12 month 'FACT' program, but there's also a 2 year bsn program for second degree). Jefferson has its own neuroscience hospital, so we did a neuro clinical...

  15. Networking Suggestions

    BSN1415 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am going to graduate in may and would love to work at my school's hospital. I have had a few clinical instructors who work at this hospital on units that I would be interested in working at. I was...

  17. thomas jefferson bsn program, drexel, or villnova??!?

    BSN1415 replied to carebear91's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I think you need a 65 but I haven't heard anyone worrying about it and we are taking in 2 months. It isn't made to be a big deal like the Drexel exam is. All our tests are in NCLEX format (multiple...

  18. thomas jefferson bsn program, drexel, or villnova??!?

    BSN1415 replied to carebear91's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    TJU doesn't use HESI. We do Kaplan prep tests throughout the year for 5% or 10% of our grade in some classes. Then we do a final Kaplan test at the end of the year that you do have to pass. You get a...

  19. Thomas Jefferson University APW/FACT

    BSN1415 replied to zfishoff's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm in FACT and I have really enjoyed it. The program is fast so you have to make it your top commitment for the year. They give us our schedules at the last minute sometimes, so you have to be...
