1. Just took NCLEX, millions of select all that apply

   vab229 replied to gospa's topic in NCLEX

   It sounds just like how my NCLEX went last Friday morning. I swear I had about 35-40 SATA. And it shut off at 75 questions. It was absolutely ridiculous. Sometimes they were every other mixed with mult choice, but sometimes they just came one afte...

2. Just took NCLEX and feeling terrible about it?!?!

   vab229 replied to vab229's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks! The questions themselves were pretty straight forward....I would read the question and be like oh I know this! And then the answers would not include what I did know about the question so that kind of threw me off. I think its important to ...

   So I found out yesterday that I did pass!!!! I never did the PVT because I was scared. haha But I did end up paying the $8 on pearson vue to get my results. So I guess a lot of SATA is really a good sign. Another person I know took the test a wee...

   Sorry I don't mean to terrify you. A lot of people say that this is not a test that you walk out of feeling good and I can definitely agree with that. And the more I think about it the worse it is. I wish they would just give me the damn results a...

   I didn't do the Kaplan class but I used the Kaplan strategies book to study and I got 81% on the practice test in the book and 77% on the online practice test. I also used 2 NCLEX review books with just questions. I reviewed any material that was ...

   Thanks for the response. I really hope I did ok. I am still really debating on doing the PVT. I feel like if I do it and it doesn't give me the "good pop-up" I may go check in to the local psych hospital.

   Hi I just got home from taking my NCLEX and it was absolutely terrible. I had at least 30 SATA questions...sometimes they were every other question with multiple choice in between and some were back to back to back. It shut off at 75 questions. I ...

8. Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

   vab229 replied to vab229's topic in Job Hunt

   That's terrible. Then they wonder why people are so downright depressed in this country. Maybe I could go get a job at McDonalds...oh wait, I only have an ASN so they wouldn't even want me there either. haha

    Also I am not saying that every older nurse should be banished but there should be a mix of older and new nurses.

    vab229 replied to vab229's topic in Job Hunt

    Ok you guys don't have to jump on me. But I know for a fact that a local hospital has nurses that are so old working there that they can barely walk up and down the hallways. What is it going to get to the point that you have a nurse coming into a...

    vab229 replied to vab229's topic in Job Hunt

    I don't know...... A local psych hospital got rid of all of their older nurses last year by offering "early retirement packages". The only thing is they never hired any nurses after that..

    vab229 replied to vab229's topic in Job Hunt

    That is a good point you made about the older RNs who can't retire. But wouldn't it be smarter for the hospitals to lay off or offer early retirement to the older RNs and hire new RNs who I am sure will get paid a lot less than what RNs who have bee...
