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

  3. Has anyone taken General Chemistry...

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is SO true. For every other class I have taken, including nursing classes and A+P, how well the professor taught didn't matter for me because I do best teaching myself. I had a 4.0 pre-requisite...

  4. Am I ready for the NCLEX

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to NurseKylie7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was originally scheduled to take my test 6/1 but moved it up to tomorrow. I did U World and it says I'm ready but I don't think I will ever feel ready much like you. Why I know I have to take it now...

  5. Any truth to getting the last question RIGHT on nclex and passing?

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have had explained to me that you can get the last wrong and pass because the better you do, the harder the question is. Obviously at some point, your going to get a question that you will answer...

  6. Just accepted job, now may be pregnant

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to RNtoBe14's topic in General Nursing

    First, no you definitely do not need to tell them and they wont find out from your work physical. Your PRN so it's not really a big

  8. Uworld percentage

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to randeepbrar93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After finishing the question bank, I am at 60% which puts me in the 80th percentile. I turned off the rationales because it was giving me anxiety and went back through all the questions after. Self...

  9. Kaplan Vs. NCLEX

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to jcs27516's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly, I find Kaplan useless. We had it for our nursing program, the rationales are not good, and the in person review was literally spent answering question after question. You have two weeks, get...

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

  13. NCLEX SATA Rule Question

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to pmabraham's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got the same question as well, was surprised that they were all correct. I have been told never to select all unless your 100% sure. I was on that vaccination question but there are only a few I...

  14. Clinicals

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Students

    My commute for clinical was almost always over 30 minutes, mostly an hour but I live further than most students. I think there is a policy in our hand book that they can be 2 hours away if need

  16. NCLEX Prep Advice

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to knmckenz14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I find Kaplan useless personally. I would focus on U World. I test this Thursday and did all of the questions. Now I am going back to do my incorrect questions but I may not get all of them done...

  17. Anyone testing in June?

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

    I took my second U World Self-Assessment exam and got in the 94th percentile so I moved my test to this Thursday 5/25. My gut feeling is that if I keep obsessively studying I will just over think...

  18. Turning down PRN job offer?

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to amg418's topic in General Nursing

    I had a different experience with this, I would take what they are saying at face value. They may have minimum requirements but it sounds like they will want you to cover full vacations, like an...

  19. Overnights & Babies

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to poppy79's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^ Yes, please do not try to avoid childcare and sacrifice your sleep. I get it, it's expensive, I pay $1200/month for 3 days a week, more than my mortgage. I work days but I would the same if I...

  20. Manager catch phrases

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    One of my positions had managers that used so many buzz words that honestly meetings got confusing because the nursing staff had no idea what they were trying to say. Some that I loathed the most: -...

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to KelERnurse's topic in General Students

    I just graduated with my ADN but we had to go to two separate NCLEX reviews, it was mandatory to pass the last semester and we weren't informed on the second one until the end of the semester before....

  23. dumb staff

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    I am not a school nurse but came across your thread and it reminded me of my most ridiculous worker's comp claim. I used to do occupational health, I had a worker file worker's comp for a penile...

  24. SEVERE Anxiety about the NCLEX

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to Mcastle124's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I normally never had test anxiety but I too accepted a new grad residency earlier this month which obviously puts more pressure to pass. I am also selling my house, trying to find a new house,...

  25. Study Regimen for NCLEX

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to Mcastle124's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    before I scheduled I was just trying to do 50 questions/day, after that I tried to finish a subject area each day so I could get to doing the rationales. Now I am redoing 50-100 incorrect questions a...
