   bibay45 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I was looking up unique looking resumes for format ideas and I liked the ones that have a picture of the candidate. But is that too much for a resume?

   bibay45 replied to hopefulRNktm's topic in NCLEX

   I'm in California and took the NCLEX the week of Thanksgiving 2019 It took 17 days for my license to post on the Breeze website (however, I had a good PVT pop up at 24hrs after the exam.) I didn't know it at first, but California now participates in ...

3. uWORLD

   bibay45 replied to Tetiana's topic in NCLEX

   I did Uworld exclusively too and was discouraged with my low scores. But the most important thing is to remediate and go back and make up tests of questions you got wrong. It's important to understand why you got them wrong and learn from them. Th...

6. Need advice, waited too long to take NCLEX

   bibay45 replied to rnpediyuh's topic in NCLEX

   I would use Uworld and just continue to do questions daily. Review the basic lab values and pharmacology. You can't possible recall everything but if you do questions daily it will keep your brain always working and critical thinking

7. Quick run down from a multiple test-taker

   bibay45 posted a topic in NCLEX

   Graduated in 2006 and have taken NCLEX multiple times. Uworld: the one review that worked for me because I could read the rationales of both my incorrect and correct answers. The important think to do is remediation and make up exams from even your ...

8. Did you use UWorld? What are your strategies?

   bibay45 replied to Happy Life's topic in NCLEX

   I used UWorld, and my tests were low and ranged from '30-'60s. The most important thing to do is to remediate and make up tests from incorrect questions to ensure you are learning why you missed them. I kept thinking to myself (from a YouTube video I...

9. Failed NCLEX 3 times...HELP

   bibay45 replied to Dkray's topic in NCLEX

   You are not alone! I have been there many times before and have tried all the review courses. What worked for me was Uworld because I could read the rationale of all my choices, even the ones I got correct. Don't give up! Take some time to re-group ...

11. NCLEX RN CALIFORNIA RESULTS

    bibay45 replied to NewNurse371's topic in NCLEX

    Congratulations! You mentioned you paid for quick results, but California does not offer that. I’m confused how you were able to get those results. I’ve been waiting 2 weeks for results too (after a good PVT pop up) and I’m anxiously waiting for any ...

12. Friending patient families on social media?

    bibay45 replied to Missie Hannie's topic in NICU

    I've often thought of this over the years. There are always the patients that were with you for months at a time and you feel close to the families. I feel like you really shouldn't "friend" patients while they are still in-house. Wait until they'v...

    Took it in Cali on June 1st, received bad PVT pop up at 48 hours. Awaiting official mail results (usually takes a week to get the "did not pass" letter) I've tried many courses and this isn't my first exam. But my favorite has been the Uworld ques...
