1. NCLEX got the good pop-up but now there's a hold

   heidi94 replied to MrNurse19's topic in NCLEX

   I believe that since there was an issue at the testing center, they have to check the tests manually which is why there's a hold and they make take longer to grade. If you cut off at 75 qs I think you have a really good chance of passing :) just be p...

2. I know this gets posted often...

   It might not be possible...but if you interview and get rejected again maybe ask if someone will tell you why and what you can improve

   heidi94 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in New Nurse

   I don't know what to say. It sounds like your doing everything right! I know that's not really helpful to you. Possibly as far as your weakness, maybe give an example about how you worked to improve and an example of that (for instance I said my weak...

   What kind of answers are they asking in the interview? What are you answering? What are you wearing to the interview? Are you a new grad?

5. Just took the nclex

   heidi94 replied to BookBug14's topic in NCLEX

   I felt exactly the same way!! I wasn't sure about a single answers. And I passed! I'm sure you did too. Don't worry:)

6. NCLEX in 5 days

   heidi94 replied to BookBug14's topic in NCLEX

   Sounds like your doing great as far as your scores, I'm sure you'll pass! Just relax and pray pray pray!! When you're taking the test remember to breath and don't freak yourself out. When I took it, every 20 questions I took I paused and took 3 deep ...

   Don't let your scores freak you out too much. A few days before I took my NCLEX I scored a 36% on a set of 30 questions from the Kaplan q bank (no, not the all SATA practice test...). I was devastated. But it was just a fluke. I passed in 75 qs and y...

   I think you're doing well and you'll probably pass, and also you still have 10 days which is still a lot of time to study! Just keep studying and the day before you take the test take the day off and relax :)

9. Tampa General or Bayfront?

   heidi94 replied to heidi94's topic in Florida

   Forgot my other pro for TGH--job starts 2 weeks later than bayfront and I'd really love to have the extra time to relax now that I've finally passed my nclex

10. Tampa General or Bayfront?

    heidi94 posted a topic in Florida

    Hello! So I have a dilemma (albeit a good one). I am a new grad with 2 job offers. My first offer came from Tampa General in their Acute care rotation program. Pros: although I won't be working there right away, they do have Peds which I eventually w...

12. Reapplying?

    heidi94 posted a topic in Job Hunt

    Is it ever ok to reapply to a position? About a month ago I applied to a position...the application was rejected right away...no interview. A month later, the job posting is still there. Is it OK to reapply?

13. Do you consider yourself a "pre-nursing student" or "nursing student?"

    heidi94 replied to NolaLj's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Unless you're waking up at 4 am for clinicals, studying for 3 tests in the same week, spending hours in lab and having a nervous breakdown, you're not a nursing student.

14. When are you officially a nursing student?

    heidi94 replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in General Students

    Here's a question:what about if someone asks "what's your major?" Back when I was taking my prequesites I would sometimes just answer "nursing" because I knew when I graduated I would have a bachelor's in nursing. I never called my self a "nursing st...
