   jinki replied to GigglyStyle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

2. What is a good quality stethoscope?!

   jinki replied to wedyer92's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   In nursing school, we were required to use an MDF MD One (~$60). During my last semester, I was able to detect an S3 heart sound that has never been documented on a patient. Much earlier in my...

3. Test Shut off at 75 and I know I failed

   jinki replied to GigglyStyle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I passed at 75 questions. I had 0 answers I was 100% sure about. My last question was ridiculously easy (yet, I was just about....80% sure about it), and that kept haunting me-- did the CAT really...

4. How to Get a 4.0 In Nursing School (The Easy Way)

   jinki replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

   If you really want a 4.0, make sure you go to a school and choose instructors that make a 4.0 even feasible. I got a high B for my intermediate med-surg class. According to my instructor,...

5. Advice for the new hire (hint: don't show your faults for awhile 😇)

   jinki replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Thanks to OP and the other nurses chiming on this thread! Other than attitude and personality issues, are there common mistakes or annoyances newbies make? It doesn't necessarily have to be strictly...

6. Words You Hate

   jinki replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

   New grad. Just realized I've been saying clo-pid-ro-gel instead clo-pi-dog-rel. My BF, also a new grad RN, jokingly calls me a know-it-all when I correct his pronunciation, but I would have REALLY...

7. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

   jinki replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

   I graduated last June (in case anyone thinks I went to a nursing school in the 60's), but we weren't even allowed to attend lecture (or enter the nursing building) if we weren't wearing our specific...

10. CA BRN No NCLEX Result

    jinki replied to xrnx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That he got the bad pop-up isn't very reassuring. but people have reported passing despite getting the bad pop-up (given, some people have the wrong idea of a bad pop-up is). If he logs in to his...

11. NCLEX help

    jinki replied to bunnylovinggrl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't take the NCLEX-RN until 8 months after graduation. I studied using UWorld for 2.5 weeks, and I passed with 75Q. It took a half a week of warming up to shake the cobwebs off my brain, but...

12. U world

    jinki replied to catmom713's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    About the same. I found that UWorld's prioritization questions are bit more obvious than NCLEX prioritization questions, though. Adding another data point to devhrt12's post, I had UWorld average of...

15. Has anyone used UWorld to study for NCLEX?

    jinki replied to Lupe Sanchez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wouldn't put too much stock on the % correct rate for each individual item. I got "easy" questions wrong about as often as I'd get the "hard" ones right, and usually, how hard or easy a question is...
