I AM!! I ride my 2003 HD Road King to work at the hospital and every chance I get when off work. I don't think that I could handle the stress of being a new(9 mos) nurse without having my bike. Harley's(especially mine) are my favorite but I'm sure a...
I've only had one interview and had NEVER worn a suit before. When I finally got my license, I bought a suit. I had to look on the internet to see how to tie a tie the night before the interview. Monday morning I looked in the mirror and it looked li...

Well, the trick worked for me. I got the pop up about three hours after testing. I read the first 80-90 pages of this thread and felt a lot better about how I did on the test. Did the quick results thing today at noon and I PASSED!!! Thanks to everyo...
I don't know if I passed or not (according to the pearson vue trick,I did, but taking that with a grain of salt). Mstefano, I really feel that the style of the questions was similar to ATI(Meds Publishing), Saunders, and NCLEX 3500. None of these, in...

Well, I took the NCLEX-RN today and it shut off at 75 questions. When I tried the trick, I got the pop-up that, according to many posts in this thread, means that I passed. I sure hope so, because I have no idea how I did on the test. I will do the q...
Thanks pkid, I just got back from the testing center. The test cut off at 75 questions and I was glad it was over. I don't know how I did. It seemed to get hard after the first few questions, but hopefully I did OK. Good luck on your results too pki...
Hey yall, I'm taking the nclex on Aug 22 at 8am. After pinning we had a live ATI review and they put up about 3500 practice questions online for us to use. I also use the Saunders Comp Review. I kind of slacked off studying after hearing that our ATT...
Congratulations on getting accepted! I didn't get the impression that you thought nursing was easy. You were just voicing some concerns. For myself, nursing school (ADN) is much more difficult than pre-reqs were. It's a lot of information to process ...
Well I've got two more quarters in my ADN program-critical care and 180 hrs of preceptorship. Our last exam is June 18th and pinning is a few days later (hopefully on June 20th-my 45th birthday). For some reason our graduation is not until July 16th....

When I was much younger, I would have done the easier thing and thrown down with the redneck-no problem. You basically did what a mature, responsible man should do. There is no way that we should let another person hold the kind of power over us that...
Well, as an RN student, I would absolutely NOT go along with the instructor in the same situation. I would have asked the CI what determined that the client was "not in her right mind" besides the CI's own judgement. I'm fortunate that my instructors...
