  1. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    @Leadkrm ~ it is good to hear from you. And I agree. It is hard. But every day I am learning a little more, and feeling a little more confident. @Kotylynne ~ I don't have any regrets at this...
  2. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    @Kotylynne ~ glad to hear things are going well for you. Keep on truckin', sister! I've worked enough in the past 3 months to pay back every dime we spent on nursing school. So I could technically...
  3. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    Thanks! I've been there for about 10 weeks now, and I could say a lot. Maybe someday when I have more time. It's a journey, for
  4. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    How are the jobs going, everyone? Mine is good so far. ? Just popped in to say, if all goes well ~ I'll be starting my BSN with WGU on May 1. I'm thinking of a few different moves in the future, and...
  5. I got my transfer evaluation done and I only have 39 to complete, so that's pretty cool. Set to start May 1 if all goes well. This thread has been super helpful -- thanks
  6. Thank you for your detailed answer! It sounds like it is going very well for you. That's awesome.
  7. I was just looking at the RN-BSN program on their site yesterday. So nice to have found this post! For classes like the one mentioned above, where you have live sessions to attend, therefore, a set...
  8. NCLEX Resource Review - Kaplan, Hurst, UWorld

    UWorld is worth every penny, IMO. If you're ready to get started and have the time, go for however long you think you'll need. It is a GREAT tool, and many times I wished I had had it during my...

    Also only one answer can be correct on a
  10. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    I don't know why I am not getting notifications for this thread. Sorry, guys. I'll have to investigate! I had no trouble finding a job -- exactly what I wanted -- PRN days at a fantastic rate of...
  11. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    With the site being down for so long and me still trying to figure out how to navigate everything, I didn't see there were new replies until now. Thanks for the responses! I have a job lined up at...

    Good to hear from you! Best wishes on your exam and your new
  13. UWORLD SELF ASSESSMENT

    You're gonna drive yourself completely nuts. ? My gut feeling when I left that place was that UWorld OVER-prepared me, if anything. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I passed... but a part of me was...
  14. NCLEX in 4 days, feel like I'm gonna fail

    Is it too late to reschedule? It sounds like you may need more time. If you look closely at the assessments, you will see that they put the questions in order from least to most difficult. You...
  15. Failed NCLEX

    Yep, the exam is designed to make you feel like you aren't doing well. That's its nature. Mine shut off at 75 and I wasn't feeling great about how it was going so far, but I did my best on each...
  16. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    Yes. UWorld is on a whole new level with their rationales, compared to ATI. And they also include pictures that are super helpful. After I had completed all of the UWorld questions -- I went back to...
  17. KAPLAN AND UWORLD SCORES

    You're welcome. Seriously ~ I think you're going to be good. ? Their rationales are great & just what you need to know. It's already trimmed down for you... instead of sifting through books. I...
  18. KAPLAN AND UWORLD SCORES

    I don't know anything about Kaplan. But I can share my experience with UWorld. I did all of the questions ... went straight through the entire ~2,133 of them without any other studying. No looking...
  19. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    I took my NCLEX yesterday ~ had my license # this morning already! Congrats! Hope you are all doing well.
  20. Severely burnt out. Nursing home vs. tele unit?

    Re: pay -- that depends on your area. Here, LTC pays better than the local hospital, for sure. I'm a new grad with only experience in clinicals. But I can tell you that I am headed to the world of...
  21. I'll respond to you, although I'm not sure how helpful it will be. I've just started with Uworld in the past couple of weeks, so I haven't done the assessments yet. I've worked my way through about...
  22. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    Yes, so glad it's over, too -- and of course, I'll come back and update. We gotta keep Kotylynne in line,
  23. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    Ours was hard to sit through for a different reason. Our instructor was a bit too lively, and it was really annoying and at times, unprofessional. She ended the last day (after we had already filled...
  24. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    Congratulations! :) We were officially done on Wednesday at 4:00 after 3 days of ATI live review. Pinning ceremony is tomorrow night. I've been plugging away at the almost 2200 questions on Uworld...
  25. How To Prepare for Last Semester Nursing

    What clinicals will you be in? Do you know? I know each program is different, but in ours, we made a huge jump to critical care in our final semester. My first patient was on "arctic sun"...
