    *LadyJane* replied to BlessedNurs's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  2. Nclex in 2 days...some ???s

    *LadyJane* replied to BlessedNurs's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  4. NCLEX in a few days

    *LadyJane* replied to brokenroads27's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    why not see if you can postpone it for a week or so, and buckle down and review before taking. If you know in your heart that you have not used your time wisely, you will likely have more test...

    *LadyJane* replied to HappyMeNow's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. I passed the NCLEX-RN!

    *LadyJane* replied to GreenGlassCastle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  11. Any Hotspot Questions On Your Test??

    *LadyJane* replied to Enfermera85's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. Pearson Vue Trick.... Really?!

    *LadyJane* replied to Lizzy84, RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was talking to a friend who thought that the LPN exam was harder. I have also heard from people that say that the NCLEX was not as hard as they were expecting. I try to remember this as I prepare...

  15. I took my Nclex PN today and it stopped at 205! Help!

    *LadyJane* replied to MrCAPR's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  16. The case of the missing pens: A rant and an idea

    *LadyJane* replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    The best pen would have to be the Pilot G2. You can get finepoint or med. point, they never skip, are always faithful, are comfortable to hold, just love them. I insist upon a medium point black...

    *LadyJane* replied to kponderRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  19. "Good for nothing student"

    *LadyJane* replied to Sarah010101's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I am sorry you had this bitter, unhelpful person as a nurse to work with on this/these days! They must not have realized that they were making an investment in the future!

  20. Outraged by no more privacy

    *LadyJane* replied to inquiringaide's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in financial services 25 years ago. To get a securities license in those days required a background check and fingerprinting. Hey, I was making transactions with people's personal...

  22. Do you regret clinic nursing?

    *LadyJane* replied to SpudID's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I love clinic nursing. The patients walk in and they walk out. The only part of my job which is tense is phone triage, but that should be a piece of cake for an experienced RN. Patient education is...

    *LadyJane* replied to ShiphrahPuah's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic
