  1. Obligatory "finished NCLEX in 75q" post

    fustudent610 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So, I took the NCLEX this morning and I was out in 75q in 90 mins. During the exam I just had a feeling it would shut off at 75 when I got in the 60s and saw the questions just felt at about the same...

  2. Obligatory "finished NCLEX in 75q" post

    fustudent610 replied to fustudent610's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was freaking out about everything back then. I did pass though! But I just had all of these expectations about what to think and feel and assumed the worst since my experience was different. I...

  3. Preceptorship: Will I learn more on the day shift or night shift?

    fustudent610 replied to c.dom's topic in General Students

    I did my final clinicals at nights and I loved it! Days there was more stuff going on, but nights you can actually learn and do more. So if you want the most exposure, day. But if you want to be a...

  4. NCLEX RN 2016 in two days!!!

    fustudent610 replied to tatacho7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sounds like you're ready. I was there exactly one week ago, took readiness test, told I have a pretty high chance, still couldn't believe it and had so much doubt. But I found out yesterday I passed...

  5. Kaplan Review

    fustudent610 replied to denie43's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm using Kaplan now and honestly it's like a love/hate relationship. I take my nclex pretty soon so I can't say if it made me pass or not, but I do feel like it's working for me. There are a few...

  6. First week- will I die of boredom?

    fustudent610 replied to gypsierose's topic in General Students

    Communication is huuuge! You're bound to see questions about it on exams in every class you take. One simple word can make or break the statement and it's definitely important to understand the...

  7. Kaplan and NCLEX questions

    fustudent610 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I recently bought Kaplan and I'm on the fence if I should rely on their questions. I was planning on getting UWorld prior but what sold me on Kaplan was that it has a systematic approach in reviewing...

    It depends on the course. It depends on your grades. I can't possibly know. I retook some of my courses because I wanted to be

  9. How to study for exams?

    fustudent610 replied to mininurse24's topic in General Students

    I would highly recommend doing practice questions in the subject being tested. I don't know where you are in the year or what class, but if your school has ati, do the practice tests related to the...

  10. I passed with 75 questions using only Kaplan prep

    fustudent610 replied to mikolover's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the tips and not sugarcoating it. Last thing I want is a false sense of confidence. I think my biggest concern is SATA, I'm getting most of them wrong and the frustrating part is usually...

    fustudent610 replied to mikolover's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you for posting this, it helps. And congrats! I also was in an accelerated program. I finished the Kaplan live review and I feel it really helped me. Our instructor wanted us to read the Kaplan...

  12. Any nursing students out there with ADD/ADHD?

    fustudent610 replied to mininurse24's topic in General Students

    I graduate in 4 days and have ADHD. I have had it since a child. Everybody's different and I can only speak from my experiences. I felt that I could only go full throttle or no throttle and not a lot...

  13. KAPLAN works!!

    fustudent610 replied to kodomezhow06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you find Kaplan questions similar to NCLEX in terms of how to think? The rep came in and showed us some example questions and it seemed to clash with our thinking during nursing school. Also did...

  15. RN Ati comprehensive Predictor 2016

    fustudent610 replied to gamblerlens's topic in General Students

    Definitely immerse yourself in ati questions. Do the practice predictors. Some of the questions were very similar. And it even had some of the same meds. This test has broader questions so it's a bit...

    fustudent610 replied to ald09010's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I am a CT native and I lived with my parents during the program. The commute was about 45-50 mins which wasn't terrible, but it only took one school bus to ruin my morning. From what I gathered,...

  17. missed orientation

    fustudent610 replied to leonaleerose's topic in General Students

    Pretty sure the orientation is just an orientation. I doubt they would give up your spot. We had to RSVP for ours so it was optional, but it was still a good idea to attend since it's

    Thanks! I'm not done yet though. Still gotta graduate, and pass NCLEX, and get a job. I'm sorry to hear about your mother, and I have so much respect for you for being able to keep going academically...

    I graduate in August, so I'm in the cohort before the people here. I was nervous too with the interview, but it sounds like you got her good side I actually shadowed an RN in one of my clinicals who...

    Your GPA is higher than mine. Being a solid candidate isn't only about the grades, but it definitely helps. The interview with Carole and the essay are huge and I believe that's what got me in,...

  22. Disrespectful patient

    fustudent610 replied to hwknrs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry but that felt like taking a mental health exam and only seeing answers on what not to do. It seems like in the heat of the moment your emotions got the best of you, but I really think you should...
