  1. Wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with the Nurse Corps scholarship. To me it seems too good to be true... Offering full tuition reimbursement, as well as all related fees, books, and a monthly allowance. According to the website, e...
  2. Taking My NCLEX Wednesday

    Welp, after a very long, hard, and stressful few years, I completed nursing school and graduated last month. I take my NCLEX on Wednesday. I've been studying like crazy and can only hope that I have enough knowledge retained in my brain to pass. I ...
  3. Taking My NCLEX Wednesday

    Welp guys, passed with 75! Got my results in 24 hours. Officially an RN and starting my new job the day I get back from Seattle í ½í¸Š
  4. Pass/Fail With 75 Poll

    Hey all, I know there's an old poll with the same question, but it's several years old now and the NCLEX has changed over the years. I was wondering if recently-taken NCLEX-RN test-takers whose test shut off at 75 would vote and say if they passed ...
  5. Taking My NCLEX Wednesday

    Oh my gosh hi! I remember you too! I used to run rampant constantly on this site but got so busy with school that I cut back. Test shut off at 75 questions. Pretty sure I felt like dying but I tried the Pearson trick just for some peace of mind and ...
  6. Taking My NCLEX Wednesday

    Test shut off at 75 questions and I felt like I was gonna puke. Did the not-totally-reliable-but-peace-of-mind Pearson Vue trick and that looks good so far. Just gotta wait for the results on the BON website!
  7. Taking My NCLEX Wednesday

    Thank you thank you! I used UWorld, Mastery, Saunders, and ATI!
  8. Pass/Fail With 75 Poll

    I'm aware of that. This is just a research topic for a project I'm working on.
  9. Hey All! I used to be a hardcore dedicated AN user and then life and school got me pretty busy and many things have changed since I used to come on here all the time. But the good news is I've made it to my final semester (FINALLY) and what a wild r...
  10. Let's Be Honest...

    How hard is it to get an RN position in Hawaii (specifically O'ahu) if you're coming from out of state as a new grad? Would letters of recommendation help? I ask because I'm graduating nursing school in May and taking my NCLEX shortly after and have...
  11. Nursing School Update Pt. 4

    Onward to the last half of the first semester (seriously, already!?) I passed my fundamentals course and was able to progress into Med-Surg and clinical! I realized nursing school does not give instant gratification; you must wait to find out if you...
  12. Nursing School Update Pt. 4

    Oh my god this is fantastic hahahahaha.
  13. My advice: Stick out your current job until you're done with school or until you can find something more accommodating to your school schedule. I know what it's like to dislike your current job, but this is why you're in school, so you can get into ...
  14. Nursing School Update Pt. 3

    First semester is halfway through (thank God). I got a job as a PCA on a med/tele unit; it IS possible to do well in school and work (although I am negative sleep sometimes). The guy I'm seeing is leaving on tour next week and won't be back home un...
  15. I've learned that I never have time for AN anymore! Friendships suffer a bit and sometimes those friends can't stick around. Drinking 3 margaritas the night before Pharmacology and Fundamentals day is not a good idea. It is actually possible to go t...
  16. You cheat, you die. Basically don't post anything on social media. Ever. Pharmacology is going to be a nightmare. The manikins are freakin' astounding. My instructors are awesome. They keep the classrooms at approximately 32 degrees. Those are basic...
  17. CNA Agencies?

    Hi All, I start the RN program on Monday and I'm not going to be able to keep my office job. I have enough money saved on top of receiving grants that I'm not too concerned with finding a new job for a while, but I was wondering who works for an ag...
  18. lost my first CNA job because of age

    Try doing home health! I think a big reason why they denied you is because you have to be 18+ to use the mechanical lifts and some other equipment. It would be too difficult to have someone on the schedule that is unable to perform these tasks (espe...
  19. Help! How do I study these gigantic chapters!?

    I feel that was rather rudely stated and a little unnecessary. I'm sure when you started nursing school and started getting your books, you also were amazed at the sheer size and weight of them. OP stating that it's huge and intimidating isn't some...
  20. August 2015 Caption Contest. Win $100!

    Please immediately award this to Jbudd omg hahahaha.
  21. I handled this poorly. What would you do?

    I would have said, "Mine is bigger." Saying that as a woman, I feel that would have wiped that ugly smile right off his face.
  22. You know you're a CNA when...

    When you can see some really gross things and continue on to eat lunch like it never happened lol.
  23. 12 hour shifts question

    That would still equal 45, not 42 lol.
  24. 12 hour shifts question

    Well, technically it would be 48 hours. (3 shifts that are 12 hours = 36 hours + the extra 12 hour shift = 48).
  25. He/She Said What!?

    I still think one of the worst ones is having an RN saying that an LPN "isn't a nurse".
