    ATI Predictor Test Score in relation to Pass/Fail NCLEX

    DolphinRN84 replied to Clever User Name's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated May 2006, and we had ATI at our school. We had to take 2 predictor exams. The first predictor told me I had a 96% chance of passing NCLEX the first time. The second predictor was a little...

    Can you be called "Doctor" with a PhD in Nursing?

    DolphinRN84 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure if anyone bothered to mention this, but I didn't see anyone post this. From wikipedia, doctor is latin for "teacher." So an MD, latin term Medicinae Docere is "teacher of medicine" (also...

    Need help!!!

    DolphinRN84 replied to rjohn's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Not a dumb question at all! Not many hospitals have this stupid system. PPC stands for Professional Pay Code. Hard to explain what exactly it is though, but instead of a differential model, they go by...

    Can you register for both LPN and RN exams at the same time?

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

    If you graduated from an RN program, then take the RN exam. I don't see a point in taking the LPN if you graduated from an RN program. I think you would have to be a graduate of an LPN program to take...

    DolphinRN84 replied to karma482's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi there. Unfortunately the job market out here for new grads is pretty slim here in Boston. It took me forever to find a job and I graduated May 2006, and had been applying to jobs since that...

    NCLEX passing standards differ from state to state?

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

    The other posters are right. The NCLEX is a NATIONAL exam, so there is no exam harder than the next. Every state has the same
