  1. Attrition rates and NCLEX Pass rates

    Hotflashn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have applied to multiple schools (waitlist, lottery and direct application-admission) and have my fingers crossed for fall, but at worst, should be in somewhere by spring 09. Because the programs...

  2. I just had to share because I am so excited

    Hotflashn replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is great.

  3. What about going to California after 6 months experience?

    Hotflashn replied to hakunamatata's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not to burst your bubble, but there are not jobs for new grads in the Bay Area and 6 mos is still considered a new grad. Most postings want 1-2 years minimum. It is terrible! Plus the Bay Area has one...

  4. Lactation Consultant/Specialist

    Hotflashn replied to freesia29's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Brewer RN, I think your experience is common. I recently took a lactation workshop and noticed some of the nurses had a hard time on the mock quiz because they were answering as nurses in a medical...

  5. Lactation Consultant/Specialist

    Hotflashn replied to freesia29's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am sitting for the exam in less than a month. Why does the exam suck so badly? I am a new grad BSN and thought the NCLEX sucked (though got 75 Qs) so I can't imagine how the IBCLC exam is worse. I...

    Congrats to the good pop-uppers! Good job. Hopefully you will have official results

  7. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    Hotflashn replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nclex on Friday with 75 Qs, PVT an hour later with the good pop up and the BON posted my license sometime in the night or early this morning. The trick worked for

    Good luck Hopeful, Notsosuper and Nursebound! I will be thinking of you and looking forward to your posts. Just saw my name posted on the BON this morning, the

    Sorry Nclexwarrior and Sheena. Don't give up. You can do

    Hotflashn replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    @Hopeful310, just do it. I had to reschedule my test, and when I did, I booked it sort of far out. It just felt like it was hanging over my head. Then I impulsively rescheduled last week, when I saw a...

    Hotflashn replied to nclexwarrior11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh Sheena, I am sorry you didn't get the good pop up. It isn't over until it is over, though. I hope you will be the exception. Take

    Hotflashn replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Seriously, huh? I am not sure how I would have gotten through the last weeks, being obbsessed with testing. It helped so much to know there were others in the thick of it. Everyone else I know has...

  13. PVTis true.

    Hotflashn replied to jijivinu's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! I hope the PVT is true for me,

  14. so i took my nclex-rn yesterday--and oh what happened?

    Hotflashn replied to nclexwarrior11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think anyone feels confident after that test. I didn't feel confident about a single answer beyond the tutorial! I took my test on the 4th, and shut off at 75, too, and am also in CA. I came...

  15. NCLEX-RN book

    Hotflashn replied to AZblondie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    These are the exact 3 I found helpful, too, though NONE had questions that were like the NCLEX. I think LaCharity's book was so helpful because I didn't get as much teaching on these topics in school...

    I will believe it when I see it. Hopefully soon. For now, I am acting like I passed because I need a break! If I didn't and I am heartbroken later, I will be heartbroken later. For now, it is...

  17. California waiting

    Hotflashn replied to Nursingluv101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is good to know the PVT seems accurate. You had the chance to see it work both ways. I am sorry about the first time, but congrats the second time

  18. BON site help.

    Hotflashn replied to xoxox's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah! That didn't take long at all! I hope to see mine by Monday. Now go do the PVT and you can tell us if it works.

  19. California waiting

    Hotflashn replied to Nursingluv101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am in CA too. The wait is so variable! Days to weeks. It isn't going to hurt to try the trick. I did it today and got the good pop up. My computer shut off at 75 Qs, too. I found the test...

  20. BON site help.

    Hotflashn replied to xoxox's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My classmates have had results in 3 days to 3 weeks. Did you do the PVT

    Hotflashn replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just got the good PVT pop up! Computer turned off at 75 questions, thank goodness, because I sat there for a minute before I clicked the mouse to move forward, wondering what I was going to do if it...

    Hotflashn replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Is it possible that you tried to soon? Maybe it is too early for the system to even register that you took the test. I can't say if it is true or not, but I am sorry that it feels so bad right now,...

  24. nclex lab values?

    Hotflashn replied to pink_shoes99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Each hospital lab has their own references, as well, which may vary slightly. It isn't absolute across the board. I agree with the others, just know the general values, give or take about 10% on...
