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

    Do the PVT! I am curious now! LOL, poor you, I am sure the wait and wonder is excruciating. I bet you did well. It sounds like you had a tough test and I think a tough test and a 75-shut-off means a...

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

    22 SATA?! Oh my! Congrats on the good pop up. I am sure it is probably true - it seems it always is if it is for passing. That answers my question about how long to wait to do the PVT. Do you ever...

    I am not sure when your test is, but one thing that has helped me to FINALLY get going is to make sure I mark on my calendar what I have done for the day, each and everyday. I require of myself at...

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

    Do you all ever find yourself wanting to argue with a practice question answer/rationale? I have come across a few that I feel are clearly wrong! For instance, anyone suggesting that a pregnant woman...

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

    Hi everyone. I am testing in mid-March and wish I was done already! All of my classmates are passing, mostare rocking 75 questions. That both relieves me (if they can do it, so can I) and terrifies...

  11. Can't seem to catch a break :(

    Hotflashn replied to LindseyRNBSN2011's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry. Hang in there. I have had to reschedule my NCLEX a couple times now, too, due to very difficult situations in my life. I really want to get it over with and hopefully, finally get my RN,...

  12. Pearson VUE ATT

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

    I could only get 8 am, as well. I looked months in advance at several different centers and the only time available was 8, so perhaps that is all some test centers offer? That is a good idea to...

  15. acid/base imbalances

  16. can't sleep

    Hotflashn replied to Jw1724's topic in General Students

    MB37 had some great ideas. I have been a horrible sleeper my entire life, so I don't feel confident giving advise about it, as it remains a problem for me. I do know sleep issues impact my health,...

    Hotflashn replied to AtomicWoman's topic in General Students

    I was able to find McCance and Huether's Pathophys Biological Basis for Disease and accompanying workbook used for a couple bucks. I got them to preread, before starting, too. I start in a couple...

  18. CSU Notification

    Hotflashn replied to AOX4RN's topic in California Nursing

    I applied to a CSU in Fall of '07 (first day apps opened!) and found out about acceptance in May of '08. It was a long wait. I did receive bits and pieces and requests for transcripts, postcards...

  19. Failed Drug Test!!!!!!

    Hotflashn replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    I think that given the sensitivity of the nature of the message, any diligent professional (of just about any field) could have anticipated potential detrimental repercussions of leaving such a...

    Hotflashn replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    Oh Coolpeach! How is it going otherwise? Sorry for the hassle, headache (in all manners!) and violation of your privacy. When things settle down, definitely call and report the violation. When I had...

    Hotflashn replied to kiss04bam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for you! Its a big deal to get to that point. Yeah. If the school is highly competitive, you may also want to consider applying to other schools, too. You can always say "no thanks" to your...

  25. Chemistry CLEP Question

    Hotflashn replied to AB092504's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check to make sure you can even CLEP the Chem. Many schools will not accept CLEPs for a prereq. It might be best to just take the Chem 107, and hopefully it will be more useful than the Chem 2 since...
