4. Board of nursing website? Or other free website for NCLEX?

   redhead09 posted a topic in NCLEX

   Hi, I was told that we had to pay 7.95 on a website to see if we passed our boards. Does anyone know of a free website we can look at to see if we passed? I've seen a few postings talking about checking the BON website but I dont know where that is....

5. NCLEX question, your experience PLEASE?

   redhead09 replied to redhead09's topic in NCLEX

   Jimmy- SATA = select all that apply (I wondered the same thing myself) To study for Nclex I think the best thing to do is answer a TON of questions. I left nursing school thinking Nclex would be a breeze. I was WRONG. It was like no test I had ever t...

6. NCLEX RN... test topics and content?!!!

   redhead09 replied to midnightrose8504's topic in NCLEX

   I'll bet that was a "test" test question. They have up to 15 on each test, questions that they are trying out for future tests. I got several on things I wasn't taught in school so I'm hoping thats what those were too... PS Your user name should have...

7. NCLEX RN... test topics and content?!!!

   redhead09 replied to midnightrose8504's topic in NCLEX

   OH and I got that RSV question and I was like WTH???!! I didn't have a single thing about RSV in EITHER of my NCLEX prep books, in fact, not even in my notes from school. I felt like most of the topics on the test today were not covered in school. W...

8. NCLEX RN... test topics and content?!!!

   redhead09 replied to midnightrose8504's topic in NCLEX

   Hey, I think you and I had basically the same test! I took mine today. (see my post, you'll find some reassuring answers) The more I think about it the more I feel ok. All of my friends (4 who are RN's) had their test cut off at 75 q's and they all p...

9. NCLEX question, your experience PLEASE?

   redhead09 replied to redhead09's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks to all! My biggest fear was the lack of math but its reassuring to hear that others had no math and still passed. My hope is that I got most of the hard ones right and so the computer didn't see the need to give me basic questions. I was SO su...

10. NCLEX question, your experience PLEASE?

    redhead09 posted a topic in NCLEX

    My husband and I went to nursing school together and we just took the NCLEX today. Both of us got 75 questions and not a single math question! That terrifies me. Aren't they going to give a nurse math questions to make sure they're competant??! We st...

11. What happens if a nurse loses her license?

    redhead09 replied to redhead09's topic in General Nursing

    That is so scary to me! That seems like a simple mistake! I feel like I just have information shoved in me at school and I can barely remember any of it yet. I hope that I can recall it to mind when I need it...

12. What happens if a nurse loses her license?

    redhead09 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious, if a nurse loses their license for some reason, can she/he ever get it back? If so what does she have to do in order to obtain it? I'm watching ER and watching the nurse make some pretty out there presumptious decisions and it got m...

13. Should I be upset? Or am I making a big deal out of nothing?

    redhead09 replied to redhead09's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate the advice. I will probably have to wait until I graduate to approach the instructor. We have the same instructors until the end of school in May 09.

14. Should I be upset? Or am I making a big deal out of nothing?

    redhead09 replied to redhead09's topic in General Nursing

    Thats how its been with every other class except for one other one. Is it the forgetfulness of the teacher or do they not require it if the teacher has been teaching there many years?

15. Should I be upset? Or am I making a big deal out of nothing?

    redhead09 replied to redhead09's topic in General Nursing

    when do we get to evaluate them? We never got the chance to evaluate our 1st year instructors...
