  1. Opinions Please

    PennyNickelDime_RN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am an RN on an oncology floor. I have been practicing less than a year. A situation occurred last night that bothers me and I am seeking opinions as to what others think. Here is the scenario: A...

  2. Any Nontraditional Students Pursuing Nursing for first Degree?

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to FoundMyCalling's topic in General Nursing

    You certainly did not make any mistake and shouldn't feel like a failure. I didn't start nursing school as my first degree until I was 49 years old and just graduated this past May. Talk about...

  3. Thank you everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PennyNickelDime_RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just checked Pearson-Vue and it says I PASSED!!!!!! They can't be wrong can they???? I cannot tell everyone how relieved I am and how thankful I am to all of you for your support and...

  4. Nclex got harder?

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to spalata's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe people are confused. It's not the passing rate that is 95% it is that the computer can accurately predict you passing or failing with 95% accuracy is what it states in the bulletin. Hope...

  5. What is the role of preceptor?

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to barbaratruth's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have to agree that my preceptor experience has been quite hellish. I am rarely with the same nurse so there is no continuity. Second, even though I have been on the unit only a total of about 6...

  6. Kaplan Review

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to NewmanFamily6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX two times, passing the second time. I used Kaplan both times. The only difference I did the second time was also supplement it with Saunders for some content review that I needed....

  7. Exam Cram?

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to It's Alisa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Exam Cram a little bit when studying for my second time taking the NCLEX (I passed!), I particularly liked the CD that came with the book. It' s worth a try. I really don't think any one...

  9. Failed the NCLEX-RN for the 5th time!

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to ZeldaJane's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm real sorry to hear you did not pass. I'm from WI too and as far as I know the passing standard is the same all over the country. Try to keep a positive attitude, take some time off and hit the...

  10. New Grad RN, and I don't like it!

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to Evalina's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I completed my first week from hell on my floor. One thing I do not like is the constant changing of preceptors. Once I get comfortable with one and who is a great teacher I get put with another who...

  11. Feel like I failed 2nd time with 75 questions.

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to SmilenMum's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have a feeling you passed. My test was similar to how you describe yours. I also failed the first time with 75 questions and passed the second time with 75 questions. Good

  13. Taking NCLEX Monday for the 2nd time

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to cnheckman's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the Randon threads sticky as well. I read those over and over again and along with Kaplan I passed the second time a couple of weeks ago. I will keep you in my thoughts...good

  14. Discouraged and crying ......

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to BABO's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I truly understand your frustration. Your story sounds exactly as mine. I studied using mostly Kaplan the first time I tested and failed with 75 Questions. I then used Kaplan complete again,...

  15. Nclex Statistics

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to Salamandrina's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As I said, I passed the boards last week on my second try. I used Kaplan both for my first and second time. I got more out of it on the second time and my scores were higher but I also reviewed...

  17. Nclex Statistics

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to Salamandrina's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just an aside, there are many many people who pass the second time, me being one of them and many others I read about on the NCLEX forum here. Hope is not lost if you fail the first time :). Just a...

  18. Struggling with orientation and nursing itself

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to lizz-87's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  24. New Grad RN, and I don't like it!

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to Evalina's topic in First Year After Licensure
