[@SoothingPeace3]

I graduated last week with my BSN. It feels good. You are right practice questions helps a lot.

I used the ones at the ends of each chapter in my fundamentals book. Also I used nurse labs.com

[@merieellamanwaring3679]

Amberlyn ... Congrats.

[@Holly-te6fm]

What is the name of the book that I can find all the questions. And can i find it on amazon ? I will join the nursing school soon and I want to have idea before I get the school?

[@lanalloyd8376]

[@kingstonstreet3726]

I put my phone on airplane mode so when I attempt to surf the net it tells me no service so it reminded me that I was studying

[@JamericanGir]

That's a smart idea because phones are very distracting. Even if you check one text message you end up checking your dms and watching snapchat videos. So I'm gonna turn my phone off or keep it out of my sight

[@ishotthemoon30]

I do something similar. I turn my phone off during study time so when I pick it back up and press the button Im like "oh yeah...nothing important on here anyway" lol

I failed Med-surg 3 last semester and am now retaking. I am finally passing my tests and having a lot of Aha moments this time around. It has renewed my confidence. So failure sometimes is a good thing. But I'm looking forward to the end and NCLEX.

[@Miaonroblox]

How long is the nclex test

[@ChibiChica]

What are you doing differently this time around? I'm failing med surg and will be retaking. Advice please!

[@l.b.5187]

Well I have graduated and am now a full time nurse. But what I did was read my book (each chapter, every word) and I studied before class, literally at 4 am got up and read and went over notes from the previous day. Practice different styles of questions. I passed at 75 questions.

[@stefenieleger]

@@l.b.5187 congrats im an LPN in RN school. Currently have 2 weeks left of PEDS and OB. MED SURG 2 is my next n last stop. 😫😫😫😫

[@jaymorgan.]

Was LPN school hard? And how were u allowed to retake the test? I thought they said if you fail the test u are automatically booted from the program?

[@oliviasandoval9107]

I quit nursing first yr I was only 18 when I started. I honestly didn't think I could do it but for some reason it has stayed as my dream job. Even while giving birth I was interested in how some machines worked or what the nurses knew what they were doing to me if that makes sense. Then my baby ended up in the nicu and when I would visit her I'd look at the nurses in awe. Like working with these babies must be hard to see but a dream to do. Ever since then I thought THIS is what I want to do. A NICU Nurse. I'm so motivated to go back more then ever next year. I've even had signs thrown at me. I KNOW NOW THAT I CAN DO THIS.

[@jadamay3396]

Aww that’s so inspiring! How’s it going

I just wanted to say thank you very much for this inspiring video you have shared! I still feel very overwhelmed and stressed right now during my second semester of my nursing program...The first semester i was very surprised with the workload of courses, classes, tests, assignments. Now this second semester we have started our clinical two days a week and there is all this paper work that is due in regards to our clinical placements. listening to this video has really helped me to relate and also know that all of this stress and anxiety is going to pay off soon enough! I am a very organized person to begin with (having a white board on my wall where I plan out everything) and i find that really helps me. The biggest problem I am having is getting used to the test questions. When I wrote my first test in first semester I had studied a whole week for it and I didn't do well on the test. I realized I wasn't studying the right way. Also I wasn't expecting all of the problem solving questions I thought it would be like what does this term mean you know simple questions. Do you have any advice in regards to the test questions?? all of our tests are multiple choice based questions and they require critical thinking and problem solving. I am having a hard time with these questions. It always seems like there is 2 right answers out of the 5 answers and Im always second guessing my self. I need to find a new way to do better on my tests and I don't know if its the style of questioning or if tis the way I'm studying. I am a visual learner and enjoy reading. It seems like because there is so much content to read that I feel like i am not retaining the information. Any advice on taking tests, and studying styles would be so helpful!! Curious on how you studied for your tests??Thanks, Brenna :)

[@katietesta4076]

Test banks. A lot of times teachers use the exact same questions. I use test bank from the book (pay for them from a website), then success books series, and use several nclex books for questions.

I plan on graduating with an Associates degree in Nursing and work as an RN before going to Nursing school. Does one think that it Is a good idea?

[@dympiece]

Thats what I plan to do also. But most hospitals prefer a RN with a BSN. However, Associates still make good money.

[@ericaav95]

ADN and BSN get paid the same amount. Hospitals just prefer those with bachelors. I will also be doing the ADN route first. Good luck!

[@alyssablake345]

Rock & Soul '95 Thats what I’m doing as well. There are also tons of completely online RN to BSN bridge programs. I️ feel like that’s the best way to get into the field and save money at the same time. Most places will still hire you with your ADN and have you sign a contract saying you will have your BSN within a certain amount of time. Some places even help pay for part of your bridge program! :)

[@alyssablake345]

Also, technically an associates degree in nursing is still also going to nursing school :)
