1. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

   I wasn't going to engage in any more of the dialog on this thread but your comment requires a reply. YES! Graduate Nurses should not be failing the NCLEX multiple times. I recently read an article here on "allnurses.com" pertaining to an individua...

   Dear HiddencatBSN & Nursing Professionals, I want to thank each of you for your feedback. Some has been helpful while others simply believed I was "ranting" and "angry". Make no mistake about it, I'm depressed and disappointed. I will make thi...

   Ahhhh, see...now your tracking. You just proved my point. I needed someone to make that statement. Thank you kindly. This form of reasoning says...just know it for the test and then learn as you go. Every facility/institute or agency has their own se...

   Dear Londonflo, Unfortunately, when a GN files their request for initial testing to the PA BON, their first request must be completed "on-line". During this process, they offer only a box to check asking the GN if he/she also wants to have a "Tempor...

   Thank you for the resource. I see you amended your statement about my attending school in PA. I was going to correct you. Unfortunately, neither my school or anyone I spoke with at the PA BON referenced 49 Pa. Code § 21.7. Temporary practice per...

   The school I attended in FL was accredited. Where did you find the individual state breakdown of NCLEX testing by chance. Is it on the NCSBN site? My cohort (or class) had approx. 52 students. Many of them transferred into the school after having...

   guest1008832 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

   Fortunately, I understood the message "llg" was trying to convey. And to piggy-back on your conclusion, I was told by a host of nurses not to apply at several different hospitals here in the Allentown, PA area if I didn't have a BSN degree or if I wa...

   Wuzzie, I have no idea of what the pass rate is at my school. The school was based in Coral Springs, FL. I live in PA. So, I'm taking NCLEX-RN in PA. Interestingly, all of those students who took the test in FL, have passed from my class. The sc...

   guest1008832 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

   I will admit, PA is one of those states that will allow GN's to practice prior to sitting for the NCLEX. I was offered a job at a local hospital in the ER, I was beyond tempted because it was what I went to school for. However, I simply wanted to w...

    Wuzzie, Thank you for the inquiries. I promise, I'm no Trump and I will be glad to see him go but this a topic for a different venue. I have done extremely well using UWorld, mostly in the 80% area of testing. I require additional remediation here...

    Hoosier RN "Boards for licensure are to help ensure public safety at a basic level, not to make people feel bad or feel like failures". I just took a handful of prilosec to swallow that statement. Why are nurses claiming to be suicidal yet along de...

    guest1008832 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wuzzie, I'm sorry! I thought nurses were suppose to be advocates? I almost remember eating and regurgitating that statement all throughout school and clinical's. Did I fail to understand what advocacy means? I was never implying that a test wasn't...

    Dear Londonflo, I did receive the testing feedback from the NCSBN on my NCLEX failure performance. WOW!, it was stellar, I did worse than I did the first time...even after using the NCSBN's learning exams / 5-week study material. That was 5-week...

    DEPRESSION...BLAHAHA. Let's talk about depression. You work yourself to death just so you can go to college to better yourself and your education. You forfeit commitments to family, vacations and reduce your work schedule just to study, do clinica...
