Would an NCLEX RN study guide be useful for nursing school?

I start nursing school in the fall and I heard that having an NCLEX RN study guide helps. My school is especially known for having all their tests in NCLEX format and many students fail the first several tests because the questions are so difficult. I have heard many good reviews about the Kaplan book. Would you recommend getting the book right away? Or would it not really be worth it as long as I study hard during school? Read More...

Need advice from current students and alumni about loans

I am looking for advice from current students and alumni, especially of the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University BSN/MSN Family Nurse Practitioner programs to share their experience on taking out private alternative loans and how you have managed those loans, especially whether it is something you regret doing...

What field of nursing do you want to go in and why?

I think I want to go into ER. This is because there is lots of teamwork (well, I guess that's based on the workers), it's also standard protocols rather than scheduled orders on the floor, and the MD is always present when needed...though it's a challenge, I'm up for it.

Stressing the skills on the CNA exam, any advice?

I have my exam at the end of May. I'm not too worried about the written part, but I'm stressing about the skills. I get nervous of just thinking that someone is going to be judging me making sure I do everything right. Does anyone have ANY advice? I try practicing at school however there isn't really anyone in my class serious about passing the exam. I'm worried I'm going to do something out of order or miss something so simple. Any advice would be great! Read More...

Which BEST review to choose?

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with AplusNCLEXreview?

I am debating whether I should enter this review versus Kaplan ($499), Hurst review for $350, or NCSBN. Though all the forum searches, I feel that Hurst and Kaplan are what students most talked about, but I feel what I need is content review versus test-taking strategies like Kaplan does. I am currently study on my own using Saunder's 5th edition... Read More...
