SORRY! LONG POST! I graduated back in 2021 December of last year and didn't get to practice my license after passing the NCLEX until July 2022 because of family travel. I applied for the level 2 trauma center (soon to be 1) in the ICU and have ...

Hi! It's me again. I should've done this sooner, but I finally spoke up to my clinical supervisor. I thought they would take my preceptor's word against mine, but they actually listened to me. It took me so long, a month, to admit and realize that wh...

I think.. my preceptor is really setting me up for failure. I just had my meeting and I literally broke down to cry because I felt so betrayed by my own preceptor. They told them some issues I’ve had that NEVER happened or felt exaggerated and I want...

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! I have about a week left of orientation and my clinical supervisor will talk to us on Monday about my progress. I have been doing better than I did last time since I got used to starting my day b...

It was actually mainly time management and prioritization in the ICU from what my preceptor has told me. Not so much on meds and other stuff, ofc it’s important to know, but I can always check in with my charge and other nurses just in case. It’s bec...

They have extended my orientation for another 3 weeks so I'm working to prove myself to show that I can do it! My preceptor has told me I was showing improvement with them the last 2 days so it's just a matter of getting used to the shift in the nigh...

I will do my best! They have already extended my orientation for another 3 weeks so I'm going to try to learn what I can before then and prove that I can do it! Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I'll keep them in mind! 😊

This is super late but I took my test today and I walked out of there feeling like I failed. Low in behold, I did the PVT trick when I got to my car and after getting the email, I got the "bad popup." I have some slight positivity that I p***ed and i...

Hello! I would like some help regarding these dosage calculations if you all don't mind showing me how to do it? 1. A patient with cirrhosis is admitted for variceal bleeding. The gastroenterologist ordered ocreotide acetate 50 IV mcg bolus the...

Ah that's very helpful thank you! Also, I do show my work but I'm more of a visual learner than explaining how I did it all in text if that makes sense? Thank you for confirming that my answers were correct! ?

Thank you for responding! I don't know how to explain how I did it.. however, I did dimensional analysis for those 3 questions and got: 1. 10 mL/hr 2. 30 mL/hr 3. 7.5 mL/hr

I thought I could edit but I guess I couldn't... anyway, I think I figured it out! My brother who's also in the program with me said to exclude the bolus information because it throws you off so I got the answer for all of them. I'm just not sure if ...

I agree with Mjohnson27 above! Don't give up now! There are people out there in your shoes who have failed the NCLEX many times and passed in the end. My advice to you is find out what you need to improve on according to your CPR and what needs to ch...

Hello! I want to know how you know if you actually failed it using the Pearson vue trick? What would it say if you put the wrong credit card info? I took the NCLEX today and I hit over 100+ questions so panic took over and I wanted to hyperventilate....

Hello! I don't know what topic to put this under so I might as well put it here. If it's not in the right place, then I apologize in advance. Anyway, my question is if anyone knows whether you have to pass the NCLEX PN to get into the LVN-RN track? I...

But according to what you’re saying, I’ll just go with passing the NCLEX before applying to the bridge program.

Ah, I’m not sure if it also applies to other states, but here in Texas, we get a grad permit indicating that we can already start working once we have received the permit license to do so from the BON. I don’t remember how many months it’ll remain ac...

Oh, sorry about the confusion. I thought an active license meant having a permit as well. I just pulled out the application to check and it just says, "Current LVN licensure" so I'm assuming having a permit counts?

Thank you! and if you don't mind me asking, what does your status say? Will it say delinquent or active? Because I've seen others from my cohort that says "delinquent" under their status even though they barely got their permit a month earlier.

I found out that I passed! ? ngl it was a hard exam for me, but I tried staying calm throughout and prayed to god that I was going to make it. Also, I didn't know the temp license doesn't get revoked, I thought it did? You can still use it even ...

Got it! I found out BON updated their website with my permanent license so I tried the Pearson Vue trick the right way just to see if I really did pass and it showed me the "records indicate you have already scheduled for this exam." popup which is t...

I just took my NCLEX today with 130+ questions finished and after about half an hour or so, I got the NCLEX email saying that I took it. My friend told me all about the Pearson Vue trick and sent me on how to do it, so when I did it once (because I p...

I CRIED BUT FOR A GOOD REASON. I CRIED BECAUSE I FOUND OUT I PASSED. I FOUND OUT A FEW HOURS AGO THAT BON UPDATED MY LICENSE AT THE WEBSITE AND IT WAS THE PERMANENT ONE! I WAS SO HAPPY BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I COULDNT BELIEVE IT SO I DID THE PEARSON V...

How do you know if it lets you register? What does the “bad popup” say? It’s been almost half a day since I took my NCLEX so I’m freaking out because the max isn’t 130 anymore and I did like 140+ questions (with 30 case studies) and I didn’t feel lik...

Hello! I’m wondering how do you know if you failed using the pearsonvue trick? I took my exam today and I panicked when I hit more than a 100 questions and I tried so hard throughout the whole exam (I felt like hyperventilating) so I feel like I fail...
