Hi I need help! How did you study and pass it uniqueguy? I failed both aaanp and Ancc twice!

totally agree with Sunshinee! i used nothing but uworld and guess what, i failed the test big time !!! on the test, nothing of what i saw on uworld was on there . i literally missed my content and test taking strategies! so now, i am going back to what did worked for me when i was studying for my lvn ?

Lol! Good response

futurenurse: I just responded to your comment but somehow it didn't show up. Yeah, the school implements that. THey will give you a second chance but you need to repeat the ATI test and repeat all the classes of that quarter. If you fail one more time, you're kicked out. Email me! so we can KIT and study together. [email protected]

Thanks for replying guys! I took the nutrition test a few days ago and passed! It is not a high passing grade but I'm happy with the result. I'm on to Ob/peds this incoming quarter. Any one of us took yet? I know all the ATIs proctored tests work the same, unfortunately, my school implements a pass or fail with these atis. That means if we fail the ati, we will get kick out of the program even if we pass the classes for that quarter. I find that very ridiculous to be honest.

YOU GOTTA POST A SELFIE UP HERE FOR US TO TAKE A LOOK TO SEE HOW YOUNG YOU LOOK! HEHEHE, IM ONLY JK! hmnnnmn.... honestly, I think I've been here once a few years ago... but the stress of nursing got me looking older quick, lolz. after like a year or two, patients or fam members stopped talking to me as if i'm a little kid. What I think is, its a positive thing!!! You look young and you're a nurse - full of future ahead of you. And you're just in your late 20s! that's perfect. Don't worry too much about what they say. If they want to test you, you go ahead and answer them. At some times, they will learn to shut up bc there's nothing about you that they should doubt. Be confident and make sure you review all your studies from nursing school. In case when you get hit up by other patients, fam members, or even staffs, you know what the answer is. Eventually, they'll leave you alone.

Hi everyone! I will need to retake this test soon. Ive been looking for tutors around here(orange county, ca area) to help me or give me any tips regarding this test. Anyone just took this test and passed it? And what was your tips on it? Please help!

Completely agree. Wow looks like I am over 6months late with this post. A lot of commentators on here misunderstood my post, some took it personally and conclude me as an eavesdropper or a racist. I am neither. My bottom line is that when you speak the language other then the language everyone understands and dan converse with in a group of folks where some of the folks don't understand is quite rude. Nothing to do with trying to pry into their conversation. For instance, if you have a boyfriend or husband of a different culture and he cannot understand your culture, when you have family gatherings and everyone speaks the native language, he would feel uncomfortable and left out... sure, we can say that he can learn to speak the language. Sure, like learning a new la gauge does not take time or effort. I recently had an issue with this at work. 2 CNAs spoke Spanish while doing patient care to patients- patients does not understand and is felt like a number instead of a patient themselves. They feel left out and Unwelcome. Sure, that may not be the intention but it surely made others feel left out. So the bottom line is it's not about prying, easedropping or even being racist ... if we travel to other places - countries or difficult cultures, than the culture and language would be another story.

Thx this really help

Wowww so I guess it's similar to the bsn program? The help is there when we need? My situation here is that I am currently in a bsn program but the cost is getting too much so I am looking to WGU.

Oh sorry, I am currently in the bsn program but I am looking to transfer my credits over to another school. :)

have you read the whole thread? it was not personal conversations. it was loud and clear and in a non English language. I'm pretty much stuck bc I sit there to chart. I'm not interested in prying or getting to know what ppl say in their own language, too busy for that. its called common courtesy to say things in the language everyone understands. if its being spoken during break, in the lounge, etc. between two ppl, then by all means, do it. there's a big difference between doing that and speaking so loud where everyone else can hear you. my first language is not English, but I always speak English in front of people who don't understand my native language. it's just common courtesy that way. I don't leave others feeling left out as I know how it feels to be eating with 5 other people and I understand nothing of what they are speaking...

Anyone familiar with Western Governor's U? IF yes, what are the pros and cons? And would you recommend it? Thx

Come on guys, don't be hard on her. She is sharing this post in hope to have some opinions about this. Well, I think at this point, your best option is to look for another school. I don't think it is wise to appeal anything at this point bc it would be useless. Try to look into other schools now and if you get in, make sure you stay on top of your grades from that moment on! Best wishes

Sure, labs being done, docs orders being carried out, and patients being taken care of... but to speak the language other than the mutual language that other nurses don't understand is still not professional. That's actually impolite. Imagine if we all work in a hospital and the majority of nurses are Chinese-Americans or German-Americans and most of them speak Chinese or German.. and you have no idea what they are talking about... and yes half of the time, it pertains to your patients. Wouldn't that drive you nuts. I am sorry if this is a sensitive issue or this offends anyone, and I'm not talking about the language or the people personally. Any language out there other than the mutual language... it really does make everyone else uncomfortable. Nursing is a professional field... if we can pass the NCLEX(in English), why can't we speak the language when people/coworkers/patients are around, it's only reasonable.
