  1. High School Pre-Nursing

    Tumbler replied to Chrysilla's topic in General Students

    While in high school ,you should be taking what you really "feel," and if that's Project Lead the Way, go for it. If competition is super steep, you want a course you can do well in and get a high...

  2. ADN vs. BSN

    Tumbler replied to ace003's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sometimes, I think you might find the ADN even more focused toward the NCLEX because you don't spend the extra time on the gen eds or the nursing content (leadership/management, research, public...

  3. Sigh. 265 questions. Sitting in traffic crying

    Tumbler replied to Medic82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Got to be closing in on 48 hrs and quick results.... Any news? Still pulling for

  4. 265 questions! last question was MATH

    Tumbler replied to ShayOlay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Can't speak to the PVT as I didn't try it, BUT I did pass with 265 questions and the last one a math question (can't even tell you for sure if I got it right!). I think you have good reason to be...

  5. Does your senior year get any better?

    Tumbler replied to AggieRNnTraining's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the program. In mine, year one was prereqs and some gen eds. Soph and junior year were pretty much all nursing. Senior year was much lighter in terms of work, but not credit...

  6. NCLEX with 265 questions

    Tumbler replied to Futurenurse882's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do NOT get hung up on the last question. I went all 265. My last question was a math question and a very straightforward one. I was certain it was "below the line" and I couldn't tell you for sure...

  7. Sigh. 265 questions. Sitting in traffic crying

    Tumbler replied to Medic82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey, I went to 265 and was just certain I'd failed as none of my classmates were even coming close to that number. I really started to psych myself out, too. Was my last question "above the line?"...

  8. Will I have a social life as a bsn student at a four year college and as a nurse

    Tumbler replied to abbbbbbbbbbbbbb's topic in General Students

    Yeah, you'll have a social life, but you won't have as much free time as some other majors. All science majors have labs, but while a 4 hour o chem lab is considered brutal beyond words, you may have...

  9. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Tumbler replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Georgia state, Georgia southern, or some other GSU? What I'm getting at is that a state school, if you're in-state, isn't going to cost you 18k a year in tuition, and while one of those scholarships...

  10. Discouraged undergrad student about grades

    Tumbler replied to molllyhenderson's topic in General Students

    A BSN is a bachelor of science in nursing (and an ASN or ADN is an Associate of science or an associate's degree in nursing). It is a major offered by an institution and accredited by an outside...

  11. Discouraged undergrad student about grades

    Tumbler replied to molllyhenderson's topic in General Students

    Well, there's your problem. Doesn't look like your school offers a BSN. The advising page talks about earning a degree before enrolling in an accelerated BSN (essentially a second degree) or earning...

  12. Passing Statistics for NCLEX RN and PN-2014

    Tumbler replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sure your institution can require a prep course! They simply make it a component of another required course and hold your final grade (and graduation) until you finish. It's really no different than...

  13. Nursing as a Second Career...can I get financial aid with a graduate degree.

    Tumbler replied to msdee69's topic in General Students

    I was looking into some more undergrad Ed. Here's what I learned: Fin aid rules changed around 2011. It's pretty tough to get any federal aid for undergrad work once you have a degree. Federal...

  14. Discouraged undergrad student about grades

    Tumbler replied to molllyhenderson's topic in General Students

    I took calc and gen chem II. They certainly won't hurt you, but you don't need them for nursing. Does your college even have a basic BSN degree? Not all do. If yours doesn't, this would explain...

  15. Discouraged undergrad student about grades

    Tumbler replied to molllyhenderson's topic in General Students

    Can I ask why you're finishing a bachelor's before enrolling in a nursing program? At my college, your 2.6 is too low to apply for the nursing major, but you could sit out a year, take classes that...

  16. Passing Statistics for NCLEX RN and PN-2014

    Tumbler replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the lag time between reporting and enrolling can be a problem. My school had fine pass rates, but then when the numbers came out halfway through the year I actually got into the major, they...

  17. I think I failed!

    Tumbler replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The flaw in your theory is the focus on the last question. You have to be above passing standard in all areas to pass. That last question can't cover all

  18. When should I schedule? Starting 6 week fellowship soon.

    Tumbler replied to pixiestudent2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Remember, my opinion is worth what you paid for it.... last summer, I had an externship. I was so busy and so tired at the end of my 12 hr shifts and even the next day, there's no way I could have...

  19. Confusion over the stats

    Tumbler posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    https://www.ncsbn.org/Table_of_Pass_Rates_2014.pdf So is the pass rate for first time US educated test takers just 82%? I really thought it was

  20. I just want to cry 😢

    Tumbler replied to LM NY's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's a myth, one I did plenty of obsessing over myself! Honestly, any tips, tricks, or hidden bits of knowledge that will tell you in advance whether you passed or failed before results are revealed...

  21. so confused... help!!

    Tumbler replied to LM NY's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The passing standard was raised in 2013, and yes, since then the first time pass rate for US educated students has dropped to around 83-85% (yes, I obsessively read everything on the ncsbn website...

  22. Scheduled my exam! Any one else testing next week? (July 7th)

    Tumbler replied to SopranoKris's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SopranoKris, i felt exactly the same way. I wouldn't have trusted the good pop-up and seeing the card declined would have devastated me, so I just toughed out the agonizing wait. At least when I got...

  23. New BSN Student

    Tumbler replied to HannahJ's topic in General Students

    Well, as a child of a couple of academics, I can tell you that in all it's degree-snobbery glory, the PhD is the top of the heap. You d need to write a dissertation where you make a significant,...

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

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

    Graduate: mid-May Send in your application to BON and PearsonVue for the ATT: late April Get your authorization to test: June 1st Take the NCLEX (how soon did you schedule it?): Tried to schedule it...

  25. Nursing Jobs

    Tumbler replied to amglover93's topic in General Students

    New grads say that because it can be, and the more restrictions someone has (location, specialty, hours), the tougher it is. I happen to live in an area where it's pretty easy to get a job; however,...
