1. New grad-need suggestions

   tash14 posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hi! I am a new grad (graduated in May with my BSN), passed NCLEX this month. I have been looking for RN positions & am having a hard time finding anything in my area. I may have to drive an hour away from home just to work. I have been a CNA at o...

2. And I Passed!!

   tash14 replied to tash14's topic in NCLEX

   juliegrace: I knew what to expect this time around...I honestly thought that NCLEX was making up medications (I only had 1 medication) because nothing was making sense to me. I actually left the place feeling like I failed when the first time I didn'...

   I apologize for not responding sooner....I have been at work the last few days. Thank you to all for the congratulations! Now, I need to find a job! I wish my husband & I could just pack up & move to an area that has a lot of RN positions, bu...

4. And I Passed!!

   tash14 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I took NCLEX the 2nd time this past Tuesday. It shut off at 75 questions & I started to cry because I thought I failed. I actually left, thinking I learned nothing from the last 4 years of school (BSN program) & that the studying I did the pa...

5. Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

   tash14 replied to ms.gin728's topic in NCLEX

   I took NCLEX for the 2nd time today. I failed the first time at 275 questions. I passed all sections besides one that time. This time around, I studied non stop-on my days off I would study 12 hours a day. I was determined I would pass this time arou...

6. Has anyone ever worked as a CNA while going to nursing school full time?

   tash14 replied to Alexandralw's topic in CNA/MA

   I worked as a CNA & was in a BSN program. I don't remember if I was full time or not (I don't think so). I know of people in my class who worked full time as a CNA, but I truly do not know how they did it. I did part time because there was no way...

7. Encouragement for multiple test takers.

   tash14 replied to 30days2nclex's topic in NCLEX

   30days2nclex, I am having to retake the NCLEX as well. This will be my second time. When I found out I failed, I cried. I didn't start studying again until yesterday & decided to change my studying habits. I'm going to study longer hours (4-5 hou...

8. Unsure if I passed

   tash14 replied to tash14's topic in NCLEX

   Update: I did NOT pass. I checked the PVT before I went into work & when I got home 12 hours later & I failed. :-( I cried for about 5 minutes & then told myself that I WILL pass the 2nd time!! A friend is going to tutor me & I'm goin...

9. Graduate in 4 months and need advice

   tash14 replied to tash14's topic in Pediatric

   Thanks! I apologize for not replying earlier. I couldn't log in for some reason... Anyhow, I am all for relocating, but my husband & I can't at this time due to financial issues-working part time on a CNA salary & having to pay my own way for...

10. Unsure if I passed

    tash14 replied to tash14's topic in NCLEX

    Thanks for the tips & the luck! I'm hoping that the PVT changes. But if not, it is what it is. The only downfall of retaking it is having to pay the fee all over again & not getting to work as a RN as quickly as I had hoped. I'm getting burnt...

11. Unsure if I passed

    tash14 posted a topic in NCLEX

    I took NCLEX today & had all 265 questions. I tried the PVT & it took me to the CC screen. I feel like crying. I know the PVT is pretty accurate, but I still have hope that I passed. We have been told to not trust the PVT, but still. I took ...

12. Graduate in 4 months and need advice

    tash14 posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hi! I graduate with my BSN in 4 months and need some advice. I have always wanted to work in pediatrics. I think I want to work in pediatric oncology. My problem is that we do not have a pediatric unit or a children's hospital nearby. We do have a pe...
