    dragonflylilly replied to meg2014's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just like Gr4ceffa said, sell yourself. They'll know you're a new grad so they'll probably ask you about things you would know.Maybe they'll ask a priority question in regards to caring for a patient...

  3. Taking Nclex, but didn't pass ATI

    dragonflylilly replied to jenitebridget143's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The Board will not clear you to take the NCLEX until your school lets them know you are clear. If the school requires the exit exam, they wont send your name to the board until you

  4. Nclex Mastery App

    dragonflylilly replied to guest798886's topic in General Students

    I really liked it. I recommend it! I used it through my last year in nursing school and while studying for the NCLEX. I would do on it when I was in line or waiting for anything, I would do questions....

  6. Reference Cards and Pocket Guides?

    dragonflylilly replied to kaiwahine's topic in General Students

    I actually ended up making my own lab card with what I needed. I laminated it with thick tape and kept it on me. The ones from amazon didn't quite work for me but some of my classmates did have those...

  7. NCLEX in a FEW days, Yikes!'

    dragonflylilly replied to jrandall426's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck! I just took mine two days and I passed. I only used Kaplan and I was really happy with it. It really helps you to look at the question and figure out what they are asking. It also helped me...

    I took, Psych, Nutrition, and sociology online. I took them online from my local community

  9. California BreEZe RN

    dragonflylilly replied to bradycardic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am assuming "OPEN" means it is being reviewed. I'm in California and the best way of getting an idea of when you will receive your ATT is by looking at the processing times on the BRN website. It...

  10. How to get to NCLEX ?

    dragonflylilly replied to abyvadakkan's topic in General Students

    At my school, they would not send your paperwork to the state until you passed the exit exam. Even if you do find a state that lets you sit for the NCLEX, they would still need the paperwork from your...

  13. Taking Anatomy and Chem at the same time.

    dragonflylilly replied to wghtsrgltng's topic in General Students

    When I took anatomy and chemistry together I was working full time. Unfortunately, chemistry was very hard and I ended up having to repeat it but I did get an A in anatomy. It's not foolish if you can...

  14. Dividers!

    dragonflylilly replied to meaganmutuc's topic in General Students

    I keep no more than 3 classes (two dividers) in a three inch binder. More likely, I only keep two classes in a three ring binder so that by the end of the semester I don't have a bulging

  15. TEAS V - How to tackle?

    dragonflylilly replied to Miewn's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I can tell you that I took my TEAS after I took chemistry and I did well on it. I also used the TEAS study guide. Do you have the practice tests? If so, I suggest that you take the practice tests and...

  16. Clinical question

    dragonflylilly replied to Lions81's topic in General Students

    Do you have skills lab hours at your school where you can practice? If not, practice on friends, classmates, or family members; the more you do it, the more you will know it when you do it in...

  17. Question about Nursing Schools in CA!

    dragonflylilly replied to FUTURERNXO's topic in General Students

    Have you looked on the BRN website at the approved colleges? It shows the schools by ADN, BSN, MSN types. If you are willing to do an ADN college, some give extra points in their application to...

  18. The Second Week

    dragonflylilly replied to pinksnowflakes's topic in General Students

    Don't have a mental breakdown, it is only your first quiz. I'm guessing tests are worth more and you'll have a chance to make up for this quiz grade. I say that because, for me, nursing tests were a...

  19. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    dragonflylilly replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    It seems like she was right to give you all three warnings because you were not prepared. At my school, coming unprepared or not knowing a procedure was cause for a write-up, two of those and we...

    dragonflylilly replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    We practice on an arm but in our second year, if there is an opportunity during clinical, we do it since we require 3 IV starts by the end of nursing

  21. Does anyone know Spanish?

    dragonflylilly replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in General Students

    I know Spanish and it has helped me so much! It really comes in handy when communicating with patients and their families. I would suggest classes but also lots and lots of practice, it really does...

  22. What things did you need the most as a nursing student?

    dragonflylilly replied to app18's topic in General Students

    - A good penlight (the one from my school was no good) -Permanent marker -Retractable pens (so they don't stain your uniform) - A small drug book (small enough to fit in your pocket) - Good scissors...

  23. Embarrassed and depressed

    dragonflylilly replied to beezwax404's topic in General Students

    Living at home is not a bad thing and please don't feel like a loser because of it. I just graduated nursing school and quite a few students lived with their parents. I live with my mother and I am...

    dragonflylilly replied to teenuh21's topic in General Students

    I took my micro, and physio by themselves since I was working full time too. I believe this helped me get a better grade in each of those classes. I wasn't a straight A student
