1. Has anyone taken the 125 question Hurst practice NCLEX tests online?

   JustinTJ replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX

   I took 2 of them before NCLEX. They seemed pretty good, I got 81 of 125 on both of them. Passed NCLEX at 75 afterwards. Hurst was very good for me.

2. Really dumb externship question,etc..

   JustinTJ replied to ERsn's topic in General Nursing

   Exact same scenario, but I was paid $14+$2 for nights. Worked until I had my ATT, then started precepting as a GN. Last week became a RN, and I was the only new grad hired. It helps to get your foot in the door and is huge for getting a job post grad...

3. Those who just took the NCLEX

   JustinTJ replied to Kay_lpn2rn's topic in NCLEX

   You are never going to feel 100% ready to take the NCLEX. Study until you feel comfortable with the basic material and then schedule your test date. Other than the money wasted retaking the test, I would much rather take it 3 times in 4 months than s...

4. 8 years since RN school and 6 since NCLEX, still haven't passed.

   JustinTJ replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX

   Hurst review is great for refreshing content. I would do it, online as you have access for 3 months. Watch the videos multiple times, commit the information to memory. Learn the test taking strategies she teaches. It's pretty much the major informati...

5. Took NCLEX today. Crazy!

   JustinTJ replied to JustinTJ's topic in NCLEX

   Florida must be running behind. Still no results from Florida's test result web link and no license showing on the BON. So I bit the bullet and paid the $7.95 today for quick results because I couldn't take not knowing for sure. I passed at 75!

6. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   JustinTJ replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Florida must be running behind. I took the test on Wed, June 2nd at 1pm. Still no results from Florida's test result web link and no license showing on the BON. But Pearson Vue trick said I passed Wed night, so I bit the bullet and paid the $7.95 tod...

7. Took NCLEX today. Crazy!

   JustinTJ replied to JustinTJ's topic in NCLEX

   I thought I would know today, but no such luck. I better find out one way or another by tomorrow, waiting over the weekend would be quite annoying. Congrats Laz!

9. Think I am giving it enough study time?

   JustinTJ replied to dmsperle09's topic in NCLEX

   I'm in the same boat. I graduated May 10th, and I'm taking it June 2nd. Some of the people in my class are waiting until late June, July, and some in August. I think that's just crazy.

10. Best Stethoscope for Cardiac Nursing

    JustinTJ replied to tigerlily345's topic in Cardiac

    I use the Littman Cardiology III. I wanted a traditional bell and diaphram. It came in handy during peds rotation. However, a lot of the nurses on my floor use really craptastic scopes. Earlier this week, we had a patient return from surgery with a N...

    My director at my hospital said the same thing in my tech interview last year. I've heard it from a lot of people in the hospitals as well.

    JustinTJ replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I had no idea. I'm graduating in a week and she was the first person I planned on messaging. There are very few people that have touched, helped, and comforted me in the way she did. To do it on a message board with no face to face contact made it ev...

14. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    JustinTJ replied to wonderwomanchels's topic in New Nurse

    This is the main reason I took a nurse extern job at the hospital I want to work at when I graduate in May 2010. It's going to suck working full time while doing the last two semesters, but I do not want to be looking for a job post graduation becau...

    They're called titers. If you have bloodwork drawn, they can check to see if you are already immune.
