   Blinkie2003 replied to 2016srnfcc's topic in NCLEX

   I personally had a good amount of maternity. Since we all get different tests, it's hard to say what one should focus on in terms of a subject area. My advice is to get comfortable with SATA questions, priority questions DEFINITELY, and lab values. D...

   Yes! Uworld helped for sure. You won't see as good as questions on the NCLEX but Uworld helps make you feel more comfortable in both knowledge and strategy in my opinion. Redo all the questions you got wrong and read ALL the rationales. You'll do gre...

   Thank you!! I did a Kaplan 3 day live session (my school required it) and did most of their trainers and some of their qbank. Over the last 4 weeks I've been doing questions from Uworld. I didn't have the money to buy it for myself, so when she passe...

   Blinkie2003 replied to 2016srnfcc's topic in NCLEX

   So I took the NCLEX today!! Shut off at 75 questions. Praying so hard that I passed!! It had me do the research question section at the end, and someone told me that was a good sign? Lol. I'm not going to do the PVT. Promised myself I wouldn't, and j...

   Blinkie2003 replied to 2016srnfcc's topic in NCLEX

   My friend gave me her login info for Uworld so I could atleast use it for the questions/rationales, but I don't have access to any of the self assessments and I can't track my "overall" status. I've def done hundreds of questions though, and I also u...

   Blinkie2003 replied to 2016srnfcc's topic in NCLEX

   Thank you!! They always say "you'll never really feel ready" to take it, so I'm doing my best to remember that! I've never had test anxiety either so I hope it doesn't start now. However, I have a feeling I'll be mumbling wtf under my breath through ...

10. Hate clinicals?

    Blinkie2003 replied to Blinkie2003's topic in General Students

    Thank you for response Lane as well as suggestions. We do have pre and post conference, some more in depth than others. We also have certain expectations per speciality (formally written) and we do meet them all. We also have skills checklists as par...

11. Hate clinicals?

    Blinkie2003 replied to Blinkie2003's topic in General Students

    I had no previous medical background prior to nursing school, so our first rotation (LTC facility, 3 weeks into program) was absolutely terrifying. After 4 weeks in LTC I did 7 weeks in the hospital on a pulmonary unit, 7 weeks Peds, 7 weeks L&D ...

12. Hate clinicals?

    Blinkie2003 replied to Blinkie2003's topic in General Students

    Our instructors mainly just let us go do our own thing as well, and if I need assistance with something I could go to them, but it's mostly like "go pick a patient, let me know who you pick, meet me back here at this time for dinner break". Then, we ...

13. Hate clinicals?

    Blinkie2003 posted a topic in General Students

    Do most nursing students hate clinicals as much as I do?? 90% of the time I'm not actually learning anything, I always feel like I'm in the way, and most of the time I feel inadequate or that I have no idea what I'm supposed to really be doing. Does ...

15. Applying for out of state license immediately upon graduation?

    Blinkie2003 replied to Blinkie2003's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you PixieRN1! So far it seems either way it takes about the same amt of time/effort, although most recommend going the license by exam for NC route. Currently the NJ BON is a mess and it is taking months for nurses to get their licenses so movi...
