    Can anyone verify Pearson Vue "trick" April/May 2013?

    CT Pixie replied to BridgetE89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Are you asking about the quick results that PearsonVue offers for $7.95 (I think that's what it is) or are you asking about the PearsonVue 'trick'? The quick results through PearsonVue if the State...

    CT Pixie replied to emlam's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Study during summer? Or no?

    CT Pixie replied to shammie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did. The sciences you take (chem, A&P, micro) will come back to haunt you throughout the nursing program. This is not the type of material you and 'test and dump'. You need to remember and...

    Insights about Lincoln Technical Institute. Please!

    CT Pixie replied to aranursara7's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Actually it does give you a leg up in getting in, in a sense. With the LPN to RN bridge program you enter the 2nd year nursing classes of the program (you bypass and don't have to take the 1st year...

    Charting...what to say?

    CT Pixie replied to chrisrn24's topic in General Nursing

    I was also taught never to document *I*. My facility prefers we use 'this nurse' as opposed to 'this writer' because they want it showing that the nurse wrote the note. Silly, really because our...

    CT Pixie replied to babsy28's topic in General Students

    I can't say I'm head over heels in love with med/surg, I can say I do like it. I wouldn't be disappointed with med/surg as my first position. I'm nuts over peds/L&D. But I could see myself as a...
