    BOSS IS PRESSURING ME TO TAKE THE NCLEX asap!!!

    DolphinRN84 replied to trekjudy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Definitely agree with the above posters. Do not rush something if you are not ready. The worse that can happen is you'll be demoted to CNA- which is not bad at all. But if they offer a nurse...

    DolphinRN84 replied to kp01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It depends what state you live in. Usually you can retest within 45 days. I've never used Suzanne's plan but I would highly recommend it! :) Best of luck to

    AHHH I just took the RN exam!

    DolphinRN84 replied to student240's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I actually felt just like you when I took it! I felt the NCLEX was more straightforward and Kaplan was just too hard! Wishing you lots of luck on your

    Do I Have the Right NOT to Be Weighed?

    DolphinRN84 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    First off I just wanted to say that I think you DO have the right not to be weighed. I also understand how hard an eating disorder can be. I personally don't suffer from it, but my sister who I am...

    Failed NCLEX 1st time, can I still work as a GN?

    DolphinRN84 replied to trekjudy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Depends on the hospital. Maybe you can check with management to see if they have nurse extern/intern positions. Good

    So overwhelmed! I can't do this

    I'm wishing all the best for you. I'm a new grad as well and will be starting my new job soon. Good luck! And keep us

    When you were a student, can you leave the RN that you worked with as a refrence?

    DolphinRN84 replied to Bala Shark's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't see why not. Though did you have this nurse only once during clinical or throughout the entire semester? It would be kind of hard for her to have for a reference if you only had her once...

    Yay! I finally found a job!

    DolphinRN84 replied to DolphinRN84's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks! :) I haven't taken a look at the BIDMC site in awhile since I got the job and all. I think there are positions available. That would be awesome if you came to work here also. Looks like a...

    I'm nervous

    DolphinRN84 replied to AuntieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You will do great AuntieRN! I myself am starting a new job in about a week and a half and I'm pretty nervous myself. But you're right, I always tell myself I made it in nursing school, and I passed...

    DolphinRN84 replied to kp01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The number of questions does not determine pass/fail. The type of questions you got are hard to determine but usually it's a good sign if you have priority questions. There really is no score to the...

    How long is your orientation??

    DolphinRN84 replied to healer27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was about to say that 2 years seems like an awfully long time for orientation. But I would think after 6-9 months would be enough time. I'm sure you'll be good after that amount of time.

    How long is your orientation??

    DolphinRN84 replied to healer27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Mine will be about 10-12 weeks on a vascular surgical

    Lab values Kaplan vs Saunders?

    DolphinRN84 replied to tanita's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Agree with the above posters! The labs on the NCLEX will be way off. So I wouldn't worry too much about it. :) I also used Saunders when I was studying labs. Good

    how long did the 1st step of Suzannes study guide take?

    DolphinRN84 replied to FutureNurse2B's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not familiar with her plan, but I think I saw one post from Suzanne on here, and she said that if you know the material pretty well, it should only take you a few days to complete the tip. However...

    Just wanted to update you guys, I got the job! :) Thanks for all your wonderful advice. Much appreciated.

    Do potential employers review refrences before making hiring plans?

    DolphinRN84 replied to Bala Shark's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah they do check references. I also had an interview this past Thursday, and after the interview with the nurse manager, she had said that I would be notified this week. The HR lady had to check...

    I'm Never Taking NCLEX Again Because......

    DolphinRN84 replied to Paleobug's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Saunders to review content and Kaplan for critical thinking type questions. I think Paleobug used Suzanne's plan which is a 6 week plan using Saunder's Comprehensive book 3rd edition. If you're...

    DolphinRN84 replied to rayelle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with Kay. I also used Saunders and Kaplan. Saunders was great for reviewing content, and Kaplan for critical thinking questions. Good
