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

   Newfie Lover replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Well the trick worked for me. Tried every day for 2 weeks to register for the test again, and it wouldn't let me. I was so sure I failed that I went to the BRN in Sacramento the day after I took my NCLEX, and hand delivered my re-application to take...

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

   Newfie Lover replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   I think chase4myheart must be in a state where there is Quick View Results, and that is what they phoned. The BRN won't tell you - you are right. For the person in Iowa, go to the Board of Registered Nursing in your state website and enter your name...

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

   Newfie Lover replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   I just took the NCLEX-RN July2 in San Francisco. I tried the PearsonVue trick and it would not let me register. Then I called them and asked about it. I told them there is an Internet rumor and could it be true. He asked his supervisor and the answer...

4. Refresher programs: My licence has lapsed, ugh, retesting sounds challenging, advice?

   Newfie Lover replied to debbren's topic in Career Support

   I am slowly doing the tests in the Saunder's review book, like Suzanne's Plan suggests. I am also taking the Nursing Re-entry course in my county. With my disabilities, I was able to qualify for the Department of Rehabilitation, through the state. Th...

5. I Will Talk, You Just Listen

   Newfie Lover replied to blt3535's topic in General Nursing

   I am outraged that a nurse would tell you "you don't have to talk to them." How horrible it must be to be patients in that facility! Hopefully, there are a lot more nurses like you there, than like the heartless, or burned out nurse, who you describe...

6. Need advice, RN with severe latex allergy

   Newfie Lover replied to allergyqueen's topic in Disabilities

   Hi allergyqueen, I noticed no one has responded to your post yet. Just want to let you know I think it was awful how you were treated, especially after 23 years of dedicated service. Would love to know who your employer was, and wonder if you have so...

8. Exceeding Expectations: My First Mission Trip

   Newfie Lover replied to bethygood's topic in General Nursing

   As a young nurse, I went on a Medical Missions Trip to Guatamala, in 1986. I will never forget it and wish every nurse could have this opportunity. I saw diseases that we vaccinate children for, and how they kill babies, who don't get the vaccine. I...

9. Disabled or Retired Nurses

   Newfie Lover replied to mobilmedic's topic in Retired

   I was excited to see this forum title, as I am a "retired" nurse due to disabilities. First, a lifting injury despite doing everything right, i.e. bed flat, good body alignment, and using a lift sheet with a strong male RT on one side. 2 months after...

10. Where Can I Buy Saunders at Best Price.? Every Penny Counts!

    Newfie Lover replied to Newfie Lover's topic in NCLEX

    Thank you everyone for all the great ideas. :yeah:I will try all of them. First, I tried the public library, as suggested, but they only had the 3rd edition, and Suzanne is requesting, or requiring, that we use the 4th edition. In any event, the one ...

11. Refresher programs: My licence has lapsed, ugh, retesting sounds challenging, advice?

    Newfie Lover replied to debbren's topic in Career Support

    I am like you - have to re-test. Due to an MVA, I left nursing (which I LOVED!) 18 years ago. Now, at the age of 54, I am determined to be an RN again, despite some disabilities. We took the test once, we can do it again! I plan to follow Suzanne's p...

12. Getting back on the horse..any advice would be great

    Newfie Lover replied to NursePunkinz's topic in Retired

    Just been out one year!? I wish! It has been 18 years for me. I don't know if I can even get up on the horse, let alone back in the saddle! But, just like your precious new life, taking "baby steps" will get us there, just as much as anything. I woul...

13. Important --- PLEASE READ CONCERNING USER NAMES and Posting on the forums

    can't wait to add those two important initials to my name again-rn!:paw:

14. Where Can I Buy Saunders at Best Price.? Every Penny Counts!

    Newfie Lover posted a topic in NCLEX

    Hello Nurses, Just joined and hope to do Suzanne's plan, to pass the NCLEX (AGAIN!) I left nursing 18 years ago, due to a bad MVA. Thought I could never nurse again, so I let my RN license go. Worst mistake of my life! You young ones, keep your licen...
