1. Anyone else a Biker Nurse? ;)

   studently42 replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Stress 101

   I AM!! I ride my 2003 HD Road King to work at the hospital and every chance I get when off work. I don't think that I could handle the stress of being a new(9 mos) nurse without having my bike. Harley's(especially mine) are my favorite but I'm sure a...

2. appropriate interview attire

   studently42 replied to EDnurseCT's topic in Men

   I've only had one interview and had NEVER worn a suit before. When I finally got my license, I bought a suit. I had to look on the internet to see how to tie a tie the night before the interview. Monday morning I looked in the mirror and it looked li...

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

   studently42 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Well, the trick worked for me. I got the pop up about three hours after testing. I read the first 80-90 pages of this thread and felt a lot better about how I did on the test. Did the quick results thing today at noon and I PASSED!!! Thanks to everyo...

   studently42 replied to KAYBDT6's topic in NCLEX

   I don't know if I passed or not (according to the pearson vue trick,I did, but taking that with a grain of salt). Mstefano, I really feel that the style of the questions was similar to ATI(Meds Publishing), Saunders, and NCLEX 3500. None of these, in...

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

   studently42 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Well, I took the NCLEX-RN today and it shut off at 75 questions. When I tried the trick, I got the pop-up that, according to many posts in this thread, means that I passed. I sure hope so, because I have no idea how I did on the test. I will do the q...

   studently42 replied to KAYBDT6's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks pkid, I just got back from the testing center. The test cut off at 75 questions and I was glad it was over. I don't know how I did. It seemed to get hard after the first few questions, but hopefully I did OK. Good luck on your results too pki...

    Hey yall, I'm taking the nclex on Aug 22 at 8am. After pinning we had a live ATI review and they put up about 3500 practice questions online for us to use. I also use the Saunders Comp Review. I kind of slacked off studying after hearing that our ATT...

11. Accepted

    studently42 replied to becky5438's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on getting accepted! I didn't get the impression that you thought nursing was easy. You were just voicing some concerns. For myself, nursing school (ADN) is much more difficult than pre-reqs were. It's a lot of information to process ...

12. Spring 2009 Graduating Class

    studently42 replied to tachybradyRN's topic in General Students

    Well I've got two more quarters in my ADN program-critical care and 180 hrs of preceptorship. Our last exam is June 18th and pinning is a few days later (hopefully on June 20th-my 45th birthday). For some reason our graduation is not until July 16th....

13. Need your support guys.........I Feel like a real pansy!!

    studently42 replied to malestudentnurse's topic in Male Students

    When I was much younger, I would have done the easier thing and thrown down with the redneck-no problem. You basically did what a mature, responsible man should do. There is no way that we should let another person hold the kind of power over us that...

15. Resident's right to refuse? Or NO right to refuse?!

    studently42 replied to Chanzes MiMi's topic in General Students

    Well, as an RN student, I would absolutely NOT go along with the instructor in the same situation. I would have asked the CI what determined that the client was "not in her right mind" besides the CI's own judgement. I'm fortunate that my instructors...
