    Everest College RN Program

    AvaRose replied to angieedoll's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I just finished the RN program at Everest College-Henderson. The costs are fairly high but they did just change owners so that was lowered from what it was when I started the program. I passed my...

    Nclex retake and study help from all

    AvaRose replied to Mykidsmylife's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Try ATI if you can. There are mods for each nursing specialty (Pharmacology, Med-Surg, etc.) which each cover the different parts of the NCLEX so your mentor can see where you are weak. There is also...

    I lack basic nursing skills

    AvaRose replied to JFLEURIM's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    SO true. I had this one amazing CNA who seemed to always be working in whatever unit our class had clinical in. He always asked if we needed anything and if he needed some help he asked us instead of...

    I think I got offered a job

    AvaRose replied to AvaRose's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm just scared of the possible nurse patient ratio (I've heard LTC horror stories) and getting trapped in sub-acute for my whole career. I'm not sure how I'd manage the workflow as a new nurse, but...

    AvaRose replied to taylorr13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My program didn't have a GPA requirement at all for admission and I took my "prereq" classes at the same time as my nursing classes. It is much easier that

    AvaRose replied to jessc16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine took 2 days. My school had us fill out our applications a month before we graduated then we went as a class to fingerprint. Then once the school knew we were graduating and had our ATI green...

    AvaRose replied to rosy3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Look on Amazon for Med-Surg Notes...its a little spiral bound book with lots of great info and assessment reminders that fits in your pants pocket. Also don't bring quite so much stuff to clinical....

    AvaRose replied to Cmmc911's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    2nd time Nclex failed

    AvaRose replied to Mykidsmylife's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Try ATI. It is good for both content and questions to review plus you get a coach who will send you remediation after each mod so you really grasp the information. I just took NCLEX yesterday so no...

    Very confused at this point!

    AvaRose replied to wisconsin89's topic in General Students

    The OP wouldn't qualify for assistance with a job like that and if they quit just to get assistance they would be turned down for not having a job. If you say you are going to school instead of...

    Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    AvaRose replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah and rent + renter's insurance can run as little as $250 a month if I am feeling extremely frugal or maybe $500 a month if I decide to live in a slightly nicer area of the city. I'm just sleeping...

    Very confused at this point!

    AvaRose replied to wisconsin89's topic in General Students

    I managed making $8.65/hr and only working on average 20 hours per week. Even now while I wait to take NCLEX and get my license I am only making $10/hour and averaging about 30 hours per week. You...

    AvaRose replied to Malcolm225's topic in General Students

    Why not go to a school where they include the pre-reqs in the nursing program and finish in 2 years total...then if you wanted to go to more school you can enroll in an ADN to MSN or even DNP bridge...

    Post-Orientation Doubts

    Length of maternity/infant placement

    AvaRose replied to lpn-rn_bn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We had 50 hours as we split time between OB and Pediatrics that quarter and would have normally had 100 hours if it were a regular quarter. I saw 4 deliveries (2 C-sections, 2 lady partsl) and was...

    Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    AvaRose replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah but you have to spend time and money making improvements on it and/or fixing things. With an apartment if something breaks then someone else can come fix it. If I wanted to be a handyman I would...

    AvaRose posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

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

    Yeah I know but why test if I'm not ready. Does anyone know anything else besides ATI that doesn't cost a small fortune (better yet something that is free since I don't have money anymore). ATI is not...
