  1. Standing Medication Orders???

    TNUp2Jen posted a topic in Camp

    I will be a new camp nurse this summer, working as the only medical professional at a Girl Scout camp for 90+ campers. I'm wondering how this works: I've seen a few posts here and there regarding...

  2. How long til you received your ATT?

    TNUp2Jen posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hello all, I recently graduated from an Associate Degree Nursing program (RN) in NC. I'm wondering about how long I need to wait until I can expect to receive my ATT from the BON. I have...

  3. Camp Nickname for GS Nurse (silly)

    TNUp2Jen posted a topic in Camp

    Ok...just for sheer entertainment...( I warned you, this is some silly stuff) I'll be working at a Girl Scout camp this summer, where every staff member has a camp nickname (to protect their privacy...

  4. Need some cheering up!

    TNUp2Jen posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Short version: After a HORRIBLE week, I took the NCLEX this morning and got all 265 questions. Of course (like most other first-timers) I fear I failed it. Completely. I'm exhausted - mentally,...

  5. NEW GRADS: ATTs received yet??

    TNUp2Jen posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I've posted this message in the nursing student forums, but since I live in NC I wanted to get NC student nurse perspectives... My grades were in on May 11. I've heard from my school's DON that our...

  6. Question for Recent Test Takers

    TNUp2Jen replied to Chaoticdreams33's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    EXCELLENT!!! I passed too! Found out yesterday morning...48 hours later, on the dot - and a Saturday! :balloons: for both of

  7. 265!?!?

    TNUp2Jen posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After Pearson made me wait for 45 minutes because they didn't see that I was registered (when I was)... I had all 265 questions this morning in DC...5 hours from house. Shouldn't have scheduled my...

  8. Need some cheering up!

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thanks for all the well-wishes...I think they paid off - I PASSED!!! :balloons: :smiley_aa :yelclap: :monkeydance:

  9. NEW GRADS: ATTs received yet??

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thanks for the tip... You were right. My results WERE available, despite the info sheet on "quick results" that Pearson gave me at my exam. They said not to even bother checking prior to two...

  10. 265!?!?

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    thanks for all of your encouraging words... i passed!!

  11. 265!?!?

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A moderator on another thread told me to visit the the NCSBN site, where I read a bulletin that states that this rumor is NOT true. There are no instances where candidates must take the full test...

  12. NEW GRADS: ATTs received yet??

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Quick results are available two BUSINESS days after the exam, not 48 hours. The difference for me is four days, as I took the exam on a Thursday. Friday, Monday are the next two business days....

  13. Question for Recent Test Takers

    TNUp2Jen replied to Chaoticdreams33's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think it was similar to any of these. I would recommend a Mosby's book called Priortization and Delegation. That is probably your best bet. The NCLEX was unlike anything I've seen before,...

  14. 210 questions.....PASSED!

    TNUp2Jen replied to leitecondensada's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks Eric...there is a section that addresses this issue, and you are right. There are not instances when test-takers receive a certain amount of questions "randomly". Thanks for showing me where...

  15. 265!?!?

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've heard that same thing, but another poster here informed me that that was a rumor, and that it's not true. I'm not sure - I haven't heard from anyone who would know for sure (i.e. someone from...

  16. Need some cheering up!

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Not exactly making me feel better.... I did stay overnight - unfortunately in a large city like DC it doesn't even matter if you know where the site is - half the battle is finding parking, and that...

  17. 265!?!?

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just searched the NCBSN site for info on the website and found this info: how the CAT works: 1) it measures your ability with a 95% certainty. It'll end the test whenever it reaches that mark. 2)...

  18. 265!?!?

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's not about the percentage you get right, it's about at what ability level you start getting half right and half wrong.... the point of the NCLEX is to see if your ability is above the mininum...

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    After reading back over that, it feels like something out of a dream or a movie. Anyone else have a bad experience like

  20. 265!?!?

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh - and I drove up half way last night, stayed in a hotel, and drove the rest of it this morning. The drive was the nicest part of the whole experience because I was

  21. 210 questions.....PASSED!

    TNUp2Jen replied to leitecondensada's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Like I've read before - the number of questions is no indication of the result - I know it's hard to believe...but I'm in the same boat as you. I've heard that some people are "chosen randomly" to...

  22. 265!?!?

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've heard all of these logical explanations - and they make sense. I'm doubting that many people feel that mastered this exam for these reasons...however, I think that no matter how many questions...

  23. 265!?!?

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wolf: you might remember that my school delayed in getting our transcripts sent...this, combined with a problem with my board of nursing not entering my transcripts into the database, created a bigger...

  24. NEW GRADS: ATTs received yet??

    TNUp2Jen replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    No problem - I have nothing else to do but sit around, wait, and post here - for the next four

  25. yes I passed!!!!!!

    TNUp2Jen replied to RachelLeeRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You received your license number? I guess that's pretty official. Here in NC you can "verify a license" online...or call in and enter the social security number without even speaking to someone....
