1. Pvt - I got 2 different messages??? Took nclex rn this morning

   Jasoninpa replied to Viictoriaann's topic in NCLEX

   I too was sure that I failed the exam. Took it on Thur, June 20. Had all 265 questions and took over 4 hours. I even know for sure that I got the last question wrong (some people have said that if you go all the way to 265, if you get the last questi...

2. Validity of Pearson VUE Trick...

   Jasoninpa replied to sunshinebear336's topic in NCLEX

   Yes, it works!!!!. I also did all 265 questions on Thur, June 20. Thought for sure I failed. Even know for a fact I got the last question wrong. When I got home, I did the PVT and got the good popup. For the next two days, I checked the PearsonVue si...

3. Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

   Jasoninpa replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX

   Hi everyone. I got my ATT on Wed, June 19. Took a leap and scheduled the exam the very next day-- Thur, June 20. Let me tell you, I was a nervous wreck; couldn't sleep the whole night, had not appetite. I went the entire distance on that test-- did 2...

   Jasoninpa replied to NurseThis21's topic in General Nursing

   1. Just because you are a nursing grad, does not mean that you're supposed to automatically have jobs lined up, or that you're supposed to easily get callbacks for interviews. Don't assume you're being discriminated against. It could be that there's ...

5. CCAC Spring 2013

   Jasoninpa replied to despirate2013's topic in Pennsylvania

   Get a job as a nursing assistant or PCT. The hospital atmosphere and the whole culture and pacing of it will become like second nature. As far as hospital-based programs having better clinical experiences, that's not necessarily true. In general, th...

6. CCAC Spring 2013

   Jasoninpa replied to despirate2013's topic in Pennsylvania

   Hi everyone. Don't put too much stock into the claim by a lot of people on these boards that every semester they reject hundreds of applicants with high gpas. I'm going into my last semester of the program next month, and I can tell you that a 4.0 is...

8. St. Margarets Nursing School

   Jasoninpa replied to carbon86's topic in Pennsylvania

   I'm going into my third semester at CCAC starting next month. Don't believe the hype you hear on these message boards about getting into programs...it is mostly B.S. Yes, you definitely have a chance to be accepted to CCAC...and no, contrary to what...

9. CCAC questions- need answers from all campuses.

   Jasoninpa replied to neverbethesame's topic in Pennsylvania

   It depends on what course it is that you need completed. If it is just a coreq or prereq such as English 101 or A and P II or Micro, you can take those at any campuses. BUT, all campuses should be scheduling all the classes you need to complete your ...

10. St. Margarets Nursing School

    Jasoninpa replied to carbon86's topic in Pennsylvania

    For those of you who are stressed/hesitant about CCAC due to the Pax: they are no longer using it for admissions, starting with the Fall '12 entering class. You need a 2.8 gpa. As far as St. Margaret's program: I know someone who left their program a...

11. CCAC 202?

    Jasoninpa replied to tokidoki7's topic in Pennsylvania

    I'm in the 102 program, and we just finished the OB portion of the lectures. The people who say the program gets harder and harder, and more and more is required of you as you progress through the semesters, are spot-on. I've never done so poorly on ...

12. CCAC Nursing Program?

    Jasoninpa replied to Glowstix's topic in Pennsylvania

    Lauren, thanks for offering to give information. I haven't heard anything about them bringing back the NET. I suppose by them saying the PAX is "discriminatory" to international students, it is talking about becaues they have to be able to read the e...

13. New Grads and Clinical Hours

    Jasoninpa replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what the hours requirements for nursing students is in Pa, or how many hours CCAC's program includes officially. But, doing the math, it actually quite a few hours. 8hours/week x 16 weeks x 2 semesters=256 hours. Plus, last two semesters...

14. CCAC Nursing Program?

    Jasoninpa replied to Glowstix's topic in Pennsylvania

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that instructors who allow students to be slackers are good. A teacher can be great without being a drill sergeant. When the instructor makes clinicals about *learning* rather than about *them,* that is what I'm tal...

15. CCAC Nursing Program?

    Jasoninpa replied to Glowstix's topic in Pennsylvania

    Sewnmom, I heard the head of the nursing dpt at Allegheny campus say something about they needed to keep their Nclex pass rate above 85% or so. That is a threshold that apparently the state looks at for nursing school accreditation. I know that at on...
