   Generally they are true to what they advertise on the course catalogue. The major issue we had was that Mental Health clinical had very few clinical sites, my cohort wasn’t affected but I have...

3. Uworld? NCLEX

   calcgirl314 replied to Kimzie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Yes, but I really didn’t need the assessments. I only had time to go through the questions one time, but that was enough for me. Everyone is different. For me, I only needed practice on...

   The 30 day version. I literally only used uworld for a week before I took

5. Uworld? NCLEX

   calcgirl314 replied to Kimzie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I only used uworld for a week. I would go with the 30 day package if you feel like you only need a few weeks to practice. My school used ATI and I got a 99% probability of passing NCLEX the first...

   I wouldn’t be able to tell you starting salary because I have LVN experience, so my hourly wages are higher than most new grads. BSHP does accept CLEP for general ed classes, but not the sciences...

   ICU, PACU, L&D, Psych, and OR require experience. Sometimes NICU and Postpartum have graduate residency programs, but there is a lot of competition for these specialty areas. Med-Surg, PCU, and...

   The Baptist Hospitals hire a lot of BSHP students. I had an offer about a month before graduation. It just depends on what area you want to go. Some areas require experience, some areas are really...

   I’m a recent grad from the BSHP RN program. I was in the evening cohort. I just passed NCLEX and I’m an RN now. I can answer any questions you might have. It’s a really good program. As far...

    calcgirl314 replied to Christina_'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just found out today I passed my NCLEX-RN exam using uworld only. I highly recommend it and will sing it’s praises as long as I am a nurse!! I passed the exam in 75 questions! Uworld prepares...

    calcgirl314 replied to totryornottotry's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don’t think anyone could fault you for the difficulty you were going through. Nursing school is tough and the demands of the nursing profession are even more challenging. I think you should...

12. Uworld? NCLEX

    calcgirl314 replied to Kimzie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good Luck to both of you!! Just keep doing the questions and reading the rationales. Taking the NCLEX isn’t a race at all. I was actually trying to slow down a bit, but throughout nursing school I...

13. Uworld? NCLEX

    calcgirl314 replied to Kimzie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, by a long shot! Uworld was the only prep I used. Our school used ATI and it was nothing like NCLEX. My exam was about 50% SATA. I had 4-5 place in correct order sequence, one math question,...
