1. Anyone who really thought they failed

   Dbaby720 replied to boyboyincali's topic in NCLEX

   R U kidding? I took NCLEX-RN, had 75 questions, and then walked out in shock. It didn't dawn on me about passing/failing until I met up with a "well-meaning" nurse who kept checking the BON website to see if I passed (OH BON is known for 24-48 hr res...

   Dbaby720 replied to naijanurse's topic in NCLEX

   OK, here's one...I found out I passed on the BON, printed out the "Approved" page and taped it to the wall. When it turned to "Active", I printed that out, too. :imbar When my license came in the mail, I still went to Pearson, checked out if I passed...

3. Any bedside nurses making over 100K ?

   Dbaby720 replied to EveMJRN's topic in General Nursing

   We recently had a few nurses that were working for the state in corrections who were making that much. In fact, it was reported that 1 or 2 nurses were making more than the governor! They were doing a lot of overtime, though. I had thought about go...

4. 265 questions! I feel sick!

   Dbaby720 replied to rnoncology's topic in NCLEX

   Of course, you can pass. The sxs you are experiencing are perfectly normal. I have read enough posts to know that it isn't the number of questions...people pass/fail at 75 - 265. My prayers are with you, but I know you will be fine!

5. Did you get a postition before getting a license?

   Dbaby720 replied to Bala Shark's topic in NCLEX

   In Ohio, you have to have your license before you can work as an RN, but they will hire you and give you until orientation to have your license. I was accepted into a critical care fellowship, but also had a job lined up with the corrections dept.

    Dbaby720 replied to lmf2006's topic in General Nursing

    While I was doing my last clinical rotation (I graduated in June), a doctor was trying to talk me into going into critical care. I didn't believe I could do it. He said that doctors respect critical care nurses more than "other nurses" because of th...

15. What was the toughest part of Nursing school for you?

    Dbaby720 replied to LADYFLOWER's topic in General Students

    It was doing my pediatric rotation. I did a day in the dialysis department and seeing those children in so much pain made me cry and I had to leave! Eventually, I came back but that experience made me realize that pediatrics was not my thing.
