   Nclex RN exam Retake

   falconersys replied to Spike Black's topic in NCLEX

   Hi, may I ask how you did with your tests at school?

   I got in! Now what?

   falconersys replied to CCboymomRN2B's topic in General Students

   Are you currently working? If so, I'd plan on putting your job on hold or cutting down your hours significantly (<20 hours or less). I'd also focus on honing your study habits.

   School making me repeat a course. Help

   falconersys replied to mmilbrunRN85's topic in General Students

   I agree entirely. You worded this much more eloquently than I would have been able to.

   School making me repeat a course. Help

   falconersys replied to mmilbrunRN85's topic in General Students

   Personally, it sounds like you're lucky to still be eligible for the program. I would have advised against emailing the professors and complaining about the procedure to get back into the program. It doesn't really matter if you thought the process w...

   Rude nurses

   falconersys replied to rnbsn2md's topic in Relations

   Bringing this back to the original post, what was said that was rude? We're still waiting on that response, and it looks like OP has been on within the last day.

   "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

   falconersys replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

   So it was a shoddy job. I'd move on. It was just a telephone interview, so it's not like she wasted time dressing up and driving across town. It's unfortunate, but there's lots of less than desirable companies out there. Looks like she happened to fi...

   Also, if anyone has any psych experience (or would like to get some!), let me know. I can help you get your foot in the door at the Lourdes Counseling Center in outpatient services. Edit: forgot to add, they're extremely flexible with student schedu...

   Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

   falconersys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   The school has the right to withhold NCLEX testing privileges. They cannot withhold her from receiving the degree if she technically passed the classes, but if remediation is deemed necessary, they can reserve testing privileges until her scores are ...

   Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

   falconersys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   This is so bizarre that the mother is posting this and not her daughter. Frankly, I feel like that in itself is a pretty good indicator that this may be why she hasn't passed the HESI. Please let your daughter grow and learn to work her way through c...

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    falconersys replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If her outside jobs aren't affecting her patient care at the job you work at together, I don't see why this would be a problem.

    Acceptance Rate/GPA

    falconersys replied to Mia Yap's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Our entrance was based solely on grades and the TEAS. I had a 4.0 GPA and scored in the 88th percentile on the TEAS entrance exam, and was still put on a wait list. It's going to vary greatly program to program.

    falconersys replied to Lee09's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Nobody I know in the program works full time, and I only know a handful of people who work part-time (myself included). The majority don't work at all, it's just frankly too much. I also only work Friday-Sunday, and the only reason I'm able to while ...

    falconersys replied to Lee09's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Absolutely! Oh my gosh, so many. Find a good stethoscope, but don't be spending tons of cash to get something like the Littmann cardiology. Things get lost or misplaced, and frankly, as a student nurse you won't be able to differentiate between a lot...
