  1. failed nclex need advice for taking it 2nd time around

    NurseJamillah replied to PearlRN7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would say make sure you know the basics. Take your time, study the heck out of fundamentals. Be able to recognize basic symptoms of major illnesses. Memorize your lab values. The test is to see if...

  2. Was I hired? I'm freaking out

    NurseJamillah replied to TeensyWeensyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congratulations! I was really hoping that you got

  3. Malicious "pimping" in nursing / nurse practitioner school?

    NurseJamillah replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing school, I only saw one mild case of this. It was by my 1st semester clinical instructor. Luckily, unless she was in a really bad mood, she could never follow-through with it and usually...

  4. Fainted while watching blood being drawn... Advice for nursing student?

    NurseJamillah replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the posts that recommended hydration (and calming yourself, if possible). I am not usually a "fainter", but came close once, prior to a c-section, before the procedure even started. I'd...

  5. PVT worked for me

    NurseJamillah posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just wanted to weigh-in and add my experience to group of people saying that the PVT works! I wrote NCLEX on 7/21 and was sure I failed. I did very well on my predictors (UWorld, ATI) and found NCLEX...

    NurseJamillah replied to UKRNBSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed as

  7. NCLEX July 2018

    NurseJamillah replied to UKRNBSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the RN this morning. It shut off in 75. I felt like very little that I studied was relevant. I had a bunch of isolation questions, a few HIV questions, and the rest was pedes and maternity. No...

  8. Took NCLEX...80 Questions

    NurseJamillah replied to Priori-Incantatem's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes!!!

  9. What happens if you are injured on your way to clinical due to weather?

    NurseJamillah replied to invitemeplz's topic in General Students

    I'm in the northeast US as well and this situation did arise when I was in nursing school. Long post: It was our first clinical day at that particular clinical site, which was 40 minutes away from...

  10. Nclex was awful

    NurseJamillah replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes!!! Glad you passed!! Congratulations! May I ask what you mean by "weird" questions? Can you give an example (not using an actual question/content)? Like if the test was about fast food, how would...

  11. Not hearing from former nurse co-workers

    NurseJamillah replied to BlinkyPinky's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    On the topic of "work friends" in general, I have found this to be true. If the "friends" were people that I spent time with immediately after work, and all we talked about was work, then these are...

  12. online microbiology courses

    NurseJamillah replied to beh92's topic in General Students

    Is this for pre-nursing? Most of the nursing programs I looked at before I went to nursing school required a micro with a lab component, so online courses for micro were not creditable. Just a...

  13. So you're an RN - you must be earning big!

    NurseJamillah replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is subjective. I am only a graduate nurse, but looking at the state averages for nurses where I live, I will be taking a pay cut. I knew that before going to school for nursing. This is a...

  14. How do I deal with clinical sites treating students like garbage?

    NurseJamillah replied to PaulicusFrumkinius's topic in General Students

    I've only been to one nursing school, but several clinical sites, and this doesn't sound horrible to me. A few sites I've been have had similar rules, so my advice would be to try and tolerate it. The...

  15. Funding for nursing school

    NurseJamillah replied to Kooper48's topic in General Students

    I agree with those who suggested that you apply for scholarships. I was in the same boat, and I'd even hit my max on loans. I did have to work during my first 3 semesters in my ADN program, but 3rd...

  17. How long did you spend on prerequisite classes ?

    NurseJamillah replied to Tasiaboyd28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me a while, but I took one class at a time. Also, I had to take nutrition and microbiology. I have a BS in biology and micro, english and gen psych were completed with my undergrad degree....

  18. Can not make the decision between Medical School or Nursing school

    NurseJamillah replied to dlhonorio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, long post, only because I was in your position, years ago. I have a BS in Biology and my concentration was pre-med for 3 years. Then, as a senior I switched to a Biostatistics and Epidemiology...

  19. Risk of getting your family members sick?

    NurseJamillah replied to Pete_soon2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worried about this, also! I am a student as well and towards the end of the semester, one of our instructors said to us, "eventually you all will have MRSA in your nares. It's just a hazard of being...

  20. Should I take Developmental Psychology online or in class?

    NurseJamillah replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Students

    I took this online and had no problems. It was a "different" type of commitment for me, because the instructor required us to make a certain number of bulletin board entries between Friday and Tuesday...

  21. Help: I failed out of nursing school

    NurseJamillah replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

    If I were you, I would try it again. FYI, I am in my 2nd semester and averaged I have really bad test anxiety and a nurse in my family recommended that I asked my doctor for something I could take...

  22. Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    NurseJamillah replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    I'm in my mid 30's and one thing I've noticed, consistently, is that people in their late early 20's STILL act like teenagers. Telling them to "grow up" doesn't make it instantly do so, and I think...

  23. What not to do...

    NurseJamillah posted a topic in General Students

    I've seen quite a few posts about starting nursing school and there is a wealth of information on this website. I thought it would be funny to start a HUMOROUS post on what not to do in nursing...

  24. Microbiology

    NurseJamillah replied to gjmaxe's topic in General Students

    I agree with the comment on Quizlet! I got a B+ in Micro, and probably would have gotten an A-/A had it not been for "trick" questions (e.g., answer is "none of the above" although "none of the above"...
