  14. How's the new NCLEX?

    amzyRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX on the 29th or March. I passed, thank goodness! And I thought I must have failed the exam b/c I didn't think it was terribly difficult. I didn't get a ton of SATA and I didn't have any...

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That's great!

  16. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thanks for explaining that to me. I think the DNP may include equal reimbursement but I also think it's probably to enhance the field of nursing as a "discourse" (growing academic and clinical body of...

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't know enough about the DO say. But I mean more than just "whole body". I also think living beings are more than their physical bodies. Nursing encompasses that viewpoint. I'm not sure DO does....

  18. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What does "independent practice" mean? Does it mean that NPs MUST collaborate with physicians? Don't NPs already have independence within their own scope of practice? I don't think extra medical...

  19. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'd consider it. But there are things about medical school that I don't like. One is the philosophy of how people are viewed. Physician's diagnose and treat disease. Patients are reduced to symptoms...

    amzyRN replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passe NCLEX with 75 q's. Took it on the 29th of March. I only had about 6 SATA, no math, so afterward I thought I must have failed b/c it didn't seem that hard. However, I found out I passed much to...

    amzyRN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did the q bank only and the format was very similar for the exam I took, it was the way q's were asked, not the same info, but the design of the questions. I also used the kaplan book for...

  24. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    amzyRN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry you didn't pass, you'll do it next time. You probably got stressed out and that's what caused you to fail, not that you didn't know your stuff. A lot of people don't pass the first time,
