    How long for licenses?

    Evidently so I guess. I sent in my application to the BON on 5/27. I got my ATT 2 weeks later and got my fingerprint paperwork 2 weeks after that. I made my appt for my fingerprinting on 6/28 and...
  2. I was having a discussion yesterday with a friend and we were talking about reflux. I know that with reflux you should lay on your left side to prevent it, but she said laying on the right side will...
  3. I've given you a lot of what I know and what is the experience of my classmates/friends and from threads I've read here. Try not to freak out the next couple of days and don't

    Really speaking

    That's taking my post out of context..... But I was under the impression that the NCLEX can't be taken for 45 days after the first

    how long for official license????

    I took my NCLEX 10 days ago (and passed) and I'm still waiting for my license. I have no idea how long it takes in NJ, but they're really slow. My one friend is STILL waiting for her fingerprint...

    Support needed!!! NCLEX Limbo!!

    we were told we had to score a 75% or more on the NCLEX, so I've been going on that basis for the last year or so which would mean getting no more than 18

    Failed

    Oh sweetie (HUGS!) Like others have said, nothing is going to make the hurt go away and it's good that you've got a plan for the next time. You know what it's like, you know what to expect. Good...

    Support needed!!! NCLEX Limbo!!

    Try to relax (I know nearly impossible to do!). Shutting off at 75 questions is a GOOD thing. 85% of people pass their NCLEX on the first try and the statistics are even better with it shutting off...

    NCLEX practice questions per day?

    I did 75 questions a day with the Kaplan course (2 days a week - so 150 a week over 4 weeks plus two 180 practice tests = 960), then the first 4 Kaplan Question Trainer tests - 350 more questions. I...

    NCLEX tips

    I took the Kaplan course, then read through their Course book and the Saunder's Comprehensive book going through the chapters I knew I was weak on and doing the cumulative tests at the very end of the...

    Tricks with Pearson vue's survey

    Well I passed my NCLEX and got 19 questions in their survey. It was a mix of the staff, the center and the test. And on the other topic, my BON only updates their website on the 1st of each month,...

    Add me to the Passers!!

    I had to log in one more time on Pearson this morning just to make sure they hadn't made an error and it still said "pass". It did.

    hello, any advice for the NCLEX

    I made a little chart (last minte the night before the nclex!) about the Ca, K, Mg, Phos and hyper/hypo. I studied it up, down and sideways and didn't need one bit of information from it. And the...

    hello, any advice for the NCLEX

    :groupwelcome: And SueBird is right. The NCLEX is different person to person, but the concensus seems to have gotten a lot of priority, delegation and infection control as questions. Knowing your...

    Waiting for the freakin' ATT

    I know I hate it when I call Dell's tech support. They've been outsourced to India for years and half the time they don't know what they're talking about or I can't understand them or they can't...

    Celebratory Tattoo?

    Well now that I passed my NCLEX I have "earned" the tattoo rather than getting the tattoo after passing my NCLEX. I needed that as inspiration!
  24. I also had it in school all 4 nursing semesters. I liked the non-proctored ones as I got rationales each time I answered a question, wrong or right. So in that sense it's a good thing. I also did...

    Applying for NJ License

    I've never heard of hospitals hiring without a liscense unless it's in an extern position and under the supervision of an RN. However it's not all the "nursing" duties, but more of what an LPN or...
