Yes! Once you start working there you will discover how many skills you get to perfect while learning how to manage time and assess patient status. You won't have to spend time passing meds (SNFs usually have designated med nurses), so that leaves ...

Hi I feel your pain. Started looking about a month ago. Had one rural hospital interview, but no luck. I have no experience, just a BSN. I continually tweaked my resume and got two letters of recommendation, which I uploaded with applications. ...

Hi here in the NW we are huge Craigslist users. Definite place to look. Since you don't have to go right into Portland, you are lucky and won't deal with the worst of the traffic. You should also search for Aloha, Tigard, and even Milwaukee. They...

Hi I'm sorry I am just seeing your post. Did you fail as you thought you may have? If so, and you still have access to Uworld, did you read all of the rationales? I found that I could only do about 40 questions a day because the rationales were so...

I too want to update and say that yes, Uworld totally rocks. I was worried because I thought the uworld questions were too easy (after I had been using it for a month), but it turns out that I was just learning from the rationales and also learning ...

Congratulations and excellent advice. One of the biggest mistakes to make is starting study too late. With Uworld it isn't just about the questions, but each rationale is also a learning topic. I also used Uworld and played a bit with registerednu...

Hi It may be helpful to remember that the topic in question is the organism/mode of transmission. So regardless of the patient's age, the organism/mode of transmission is still the same. Here is a quick review--note that nothing is said about the ...

Hi yes, I have run through the gambut trying to get a refund. No response or luck to date. Thanks for the input on La Charity. I used Uworld and even though I became worried during the study process that the Uworld questions were getting too easy...

Just want to pass along that you can save $14 and not buy the NCLEX lectures from allnursingnotes.com. There is nothing additional beyond what is already on youtube by this author. Even though it is only $14, kind of frustrated that I paid for noth...

Update on this. Turned out to be a total scam. Messaged through Paypal, directly, and through site. DO NOT PURCHASE! Again, the site is allnursingnotes.com. Still working on geting a refund from paypal.

I hope I'm not double-posting. I placed this post with the 'reply' button and I don't see it. If I have duplicated, I apologize in advance... I test next week and have been using Uworld. It is ok, but after about 1000 questions it is starting to se...

Hi I got my BSN and take the NCLEX in a week. I've been reviewing and found a group called Osmosis.org that posts lots of videos about different diseases and conditions on youtube. Their videos are usually about 6 minutes long and cover all of the ...

Hi I am using Uworld and just tried another source that seems much harder. I test in a week. Do you recall what your Uworld score range was prior to testing? Thank you.

Hi I test next week and have been using Uworld. It is ok, but after about 1000 questions it is starting to seem pretty narrow in scope and the questions are not very challenging. This morning I started googling "is Uworld too easy?" and it seems li...

Hi donsterRN. I cannot do pm yet, so am reaching out via this channel. I am 49 and have been accepted to an ABSN program in Nevada, but I don't really want to work in that state after graduation. Based on your experience, do you think someone at m...

Hi thanks for the info. Sorry I have been offline for a spell. :-)

Hi there is a link below that takes you to a site where a sample test is input and compared to the national means and percentiles. Interestingly, the four test subjects are broken down into individual sub-sections and those are all scored/ranked as ...

Sounds good. A little more info on the UTAH anticipated July start: If you have a Nevada application in and the approval comes back from CCNE in time (they already have all of the other required approvals complete and are just waiting for CCNE) any...

Hi Arielle P I agree very much about the appeal of the two cities. I have been reading quite a bit about living costs and conditions. Scorpions in apartments and $400 electric bills sounds pretty awful. I spoke with ------------- yesterday (he co...

Heatherisbetter thanks very much! I live in Washington state just north of Oregon, so SLC is just a 12 hour drive in case I want to come home to visit. Everything about Utah sounds more appealing than Nevada. I was under the impression that Utah d...

Hello, just looking for any available updates on the ABSN. Has it improved at all? I was very excited about the ABSN (14 month) at Roseman beginning July 2015 as it fits my time schedule, budget, and location preferences. When I first spoke with my...

Hi Katyc123 As far as the ABSN, I can tell you that my advisor said there are about 100 applications in so far that will be eligible for interview invitations on Feb 18 (Henderson campus). There are three rounds of interviews for the cohort beginnin...

Hi ArielleP and Heatherisbetter Heather, thanks for all of your helpful comments. ArielleP are you pursuing Roseman? I was pretty excited about it when I first talked to my advisor. He said the success/grad rate was about 88%. Then I emailed wit...

Hello I am so grateful for this website as it has provided me tons of guidance in pursuing a second career in nursing. I was very excited about the ABSN (14 month) at Roseman beginning July 2015 as it fits my time schedule, budget, and location pre...

Thank you. I hope I posted correctly. Wasn't sure if I should put it under an already-running thread about Roseman....
