GIRL WHAT??? You are telling me you spend TWO HOURS with a patient? That is literally insane and beyond unfair. You are stating you get annoyed with your actual patients, because they have family and aren’t dying, like what? Do you realize how selfish and uncaring you sound? I would be so mad and would absolutely report you if I were a family member and knew you were speaking of my family (the pt) like this. And nightly foot soaks? Not to sound rude, but isn’t that type of patient care the CNAs responsibility? It sounds like you have really taken to this patient for some reason, and I get it, we all have our favorites. I think you need to take a step back though and realize what you are saying here. You are admitting you put your actual patients second to someone who isn’t in your case load, ever think maybe management did that for a reason? Also, let me add, If I worked with a nurse who spend TWO hours in a patients room every night, I would be beyond annoyed, you should be out on the floor available in case of an emergency, not soaking mrs Jones feet for two hours. Anyways, seems that everyone here agrees you have crossed a line, if she is nearby, say the same floor, two Quick visits A day is more than enough, other than that any other visit should be on your own time when you don’t have your own patients to attend to, whom are your main responsibility when you are on the clock, as you should already know.

My question is how do people get per diem jobs? I applied to one and they told me its 3 days training. (I didn't get the job bc I had no experience which was ok). How do you get a per diem nursing job when you already work full time? Was as it just this place that had 3 days of training or is this typical? I plan on applying for more per diem jobs once I get a bit of experience and am just trying to plan ahead. Thanks!

I don't get why ppl are trying so hard to defend this Pvt and say I did it wrong. I made this post for future nurses who do this stupid Pvt and don't get the so called "good popup" and get discouraged. You still have hope! I followed the directions and did it correctly. I also know two girls from my class that had the same thing happen. I noticed on all the other posts of ppl saying it didn't work there's always ppl trying to say no you did it wrong it does work blah blah blah. Gosh, it's annoying.

No, I put in the wrong exp. number. Other girls from my class did the same, correct everything EXCEPT the expiration, did NOT get the "good" pop up, and passed

I also failed my first attempt but I passed on my second attempt! It happens! Just stay focused and do practice questions! I also used to listen to different nclex reviews on YouTube as I was driving. I bought the nclex mastery app for my iPhone, got rid of fb, ig so that when I got bored and reached for my phone my only option was doing some practice questions on the nclex app. Good luck! You can do this!

I just wanted to make a post in hopes that this will come up for potential nurses googling about the Pearson Vue Trick (PVT) I took my NCLEX in January of 2017, and decided to try the PVT so many people swear by. I did NOT get the good pop up, cried cause well obviously it didn't work so figured I had failed. Nope! I passed. The Pearson Vue Trick does NOT always work. Don't let it trick you! This is was my second time taking the NCLEX, I failed the first one. It happens! I just picked myself up and studied some more. Passed it the second time with minimum questions. There is so much online help out there! So good luck to everyone!
