  1. Officially tired and worn out from studying Nclex RN

    FL_Nurse92 replied to SaffSoontobeRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I like your name just the way it is. It says " soon to be RN" I see nothing wrong with that. At any rate I hope you rock the NCLEX! The day before my test I don't study or do any practice questions. I...

  2. UWorld or Kaplan Qbank

    FL_Nurse92 replied to pekto.RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan, Kaplan, Kaplan! Although I did not try UWorld, I can definitely vouch for Kaplan! To me it was a replica of the NCLEX. I did every Q bank question and passed NCLEX with 75 questions, took me...

  4. What to study before Nursing School?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to ETIGLAO's topic in General Students

    Study!?.. Study NOTHING! like mentioned above nothing nursing related will make much sense and A&P is the section in nursing books the instructor says to skip! I would relax because believe me you...

  5. Found myself in quite the pickle.. (Poll)

    FL_Nurse92 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely go to your interviews!! In all honesty I think hurst is a huge waste of money. I paid way too much to sit in a classroom and fill in the blanks in a book. You basically pay for the book and...

  6. clinical instructor calling in sick

    FL_Nurse92 replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My school did not have back up clinical instructors and I can't say I did not enjoy a day off when my instructor called in sick. Although it had to be made up in the moment a day to sleep in was much...

  7. NCLEX - what the heck?!

    FL_Nurse92 replied to JNcCole15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think anyone ever feels like they rocked the NCLEX lol. I know I didn't. I also ended with 75 questions and sat there for a few seconds like what the heck was that!? I even sat in my car and...

  8. Nursing school is stressful and expensive!

    FL_Nurse92 replied to rnT_16's topic in General Students

    I graduated in May, but yes I can vouch that nursing school is very stressful an very expensive. But you have to look at it in a positive way. It's an investment and every single penny you have spent,...

  9. Frustrated New Grad

    FL_Nurse92 replied to greysfan_LPN2RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you are truly unhappy with the job you have, do not force yourself to continue to work for that facility. Have you toured the med surge unit you got the offer on, have you taken a look at the...

  10. Shifts too long

    FL_Nurse92 replied to ksparks's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Honestly that's a situation most nurses go through. I do my 3 12's on top of 2 days of 8 hour critical care classes. I drive 30 minutes to work in the AM and 45 on the way home because of traffic. Yes...

  11. Bed bath with telemetry monitor?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to ezksu's topic in General Students

    Yea I remove the monitor and patches for the bath. I call tele and tell them it has been removed temporarily so they don't freak. After the bath just replace the pads and hook the monitor back up....

  12. Considering Graduation Rates?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to rom12345's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm guessing there was a high nclex pass rate? If so it sounds like the program weeds out those who aren't serious about nursing or religious to their

  13. failed 1st time

    FL_Nurse92 replied to KThurmond's topic in General Nursing

    At my school you cannot reapply if you fail out of nursing school, which means you've failed 2 classes. I have had friends fail out and apply elsewhere and get in

  14. should I retake?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to tennesseeflyer2010's topic in General Students

    What exactly was the mistake and why is it dropping your grade so low? Can the mistake be fixed or

  15. Failed my first exam

    FL_Nurse92 replied to futurenurse0989's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would talk to your instructor to see if you are missing anything in your studies. My instructor had us make concept maps on different conditions and it helped tremendously. Most importantly never...

    FL_Nurse92 replied to chickadee1993's topic in Florida Nursing

    I work at FH and we have 1 tech per 7-8 patients. Never once did they ask for or look at my GPA. Our techs also do everything you just listed. I had interviews at both Orlando Regional and FH and...

    FL_Nurse92 replied to chickadee1993's topic in Florida Nursing

  23. CRNA vs Med School?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to jat20's topic in General Students

    I would skip nursing school all together and go straight to med school. Plus within the next few years CRNA programs will no longer be 2 and half year programs, they will be 4 year doctorate

  24. So I passed NCLEX, does that mean I'm ready to be a nurse?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to mangosoccer11's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly wouldn't worry about looking back at your notes...especially not for months at a time. A lot of things i learned in school, like normal lab values for instance, are slightly different in...

  25. Moving to Orlando from Oregon

    FL_Nurse92 replied to superdan's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's really going to depend on the hospital of your choosing. Traffic sucks in FL too, at least it does here in Tampa! I work in the PCU at Florida Hospital Tampa I do everything you have listed...
