I am currently on the waitlist. Does anyone know when they will officially let us know whether we are accepted or rejected?

Hello, I am based in Houston, TX. Looking to make a study group for one month study plan to take the GRE in January of 2024. Anyone interested?

Nurse Alexa, thank you so much for replying.

Hello, I took the CMC exam recently. Failed the exam by 2 points. I used mometrix and med-ED cmc/csc review. I also purchased the free trial of AACN practice CMC questions. Anyone has any other resources I can try. Thank you in advance

Hello everyone, I have enrolled to take Intro to statistics starting on March 27th with UCSD Extension. If anyone is interested in studying, message me.

Hello, I thought I would post on how I studied for the CCRN certification. I took the exam on 12/30/22. I used Barrons book, Pass CCRN question bank, and AACN question bank. Studied for a month and then took the exam. I felt like the CCRN exam was alright compared to the above resources which were much more harder. Best of luck to everyone who is planning to take the certification this year!!

Did you use any test bank for the CMC certification?

Hello, I was wondering whether anyone took the CMC/CSC exam recently. If so, what review course did you use? AACN no longer provides the review course and they only have the question bank for each exam. I googled and was able to find there is mometrix and nicole kupchik review course. Besides these two, what other review courses can I use? Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone, I am planning to apply for the nurse residency program for the harris health spring 2019. Does anyone know when they will open the application or where do we go to apply?

congrats!! What was their starting salary?

Has anyone heard from TMC or harris health (ben taub or LBJ hospital)? So far I have not received calls. Does TMC take a long time to respond?

also good luck. you got this! remember to do as many questions as possible.

So I will post the number of questions for each section. Management of care (30), safety and infection control (18), health promotion and maintenance (14), psychosocial integrity (13), basic care and comfort (13), pharmacological and parenteral therapies (23), reduction of risk potential (18), physiological adaptation (21). I can't say focus on one area specifically because they asked questions from all the sections. Know your prioritization's, delegations for sure. The main drugs for each class. there is no way you can study every single medication. Definitely med/surg and main things in fundamentals such as fractures, crutches, wound care etc etc. In OB they asked about bleeding, FHR, decelerations, eclampsia, drugs etc. In peds, infants development in each month, vaccinations, car seat, primary preventions, consent etc. in community disaster related questions, triage, cdc reportable communicable disease, interventions and teaching for communicable diseases (smallpox, anthrax, hep A). these are some i can think of.

So I just took my ATI Comprehensive on 03/23/18. I was in a accelerated nursing program that was 10 weeks (9 weeks class and 1 week of holiday). So for capstone, on week 8 we took the pharmacology proctored and on week 9 we took the predictor. Talk about taking stress to a whole new level. I made a level 2 on the pharm proctored and made 76.7 on the predictor which is considered 97% chance of passing NCLEX. My advice for you is to start studying as early on. My regret is that I didn't start studying from week 1 onwards. On week 8 after pharm proctored i started studying for the predictor. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading the pink book. sometimes they will just put one word for certain topic such as compensated or uncompensated metabolic acidosis. if you don't understand it, go to the med surg ATI book and read about it in detail about the acid base balance.This is why it is good to start studying on early. Googling is okay however i will tell you to stick with ATI for lab values. Our school made us do 350 questions every week for each subject and had an ati exam over that subject. So do practice tests on the ATI website. There should be comprehensive a and b, learning system comprehensive final, and many more. Google practice questions for comp predictor. Now don't just do the questions blindly, read the rationales also. Read the rationales even if you get the answer correct. Read why the other answer couldn't be chosen. The more practice questions you do the better you get. This is why you start studying early. DO NOT make the mistake i made and cram at the last week. These are some of the tips i can give. Feel free to comment if y'all have any questions!

I still have not heard back anything from harris health after sending the packet on march 16th or from Methodist TMC after my FaceTime interview on March 9th. Should I wait till the end of this month or contact the recruiters? Did anyone do their pre screening interview after me and receive an offer from methodist?
