absolutely one of the best comments I have ever read. kudos x 1000!

Absolutely! I recommend Underwater basket weaving 101. But take the class all the idiots are in, LOL! Seriously, I was in the same boat as you a few semesters. That being said, please ignore what all the pre-professional students say when they speak...

Thats easy! That's him officer....

I hate to police other peoples posts but I really feel like people need to either actually KNOW an answer or research their answers before they give them out as fact. Very few programs require "several" years experience. In fact, the largest majority...

With respect to your post and without knowledge to your geographical location...this simply isn't true. Most programs will state the graduate nursing school boiler-plate, "..a minimum undergraduate g.p.a. of 3.0." Then you read their FAQ's and notice...

I sensed neither negativety or animosity in your post. Further, I agree with you in principle. However, you are speaking to a different topic. I agree that local staffing shortages often occur 'on purpose.' I am speaking to the national level of prac...

typo, i am not going to attack you or jump on you. i am going to say that hunger is pain. while i am not a peds nurse and i would not choose demerol, i would have sought an rx for mso4 to reduce the infants pain if the npo order was going to continue...

Ok, I am going to play devils advocate for a second. However, before I do, let me say this...Your attitude is right-on. If you believe and you work hard, you can get there. I applaud your veracity and I hope you succeed. Now for the devils advocate p...

Valerie, forgive me because I agree with you so often, but here you are just wrong. There is a nursing shortage. The last count conducted there were 126,000 unfilled nursing positions in the US. According to recent studies conducted for AACN the proj...

Lowering standards does not benefit anyone. Flame away. Our entire society is about lowering standards. That's what we do. We invent reasons to lower the bar. I for one don't care how flamed I get on this one. Be honest and ask yourself this question...

I can understand your concern and even empathize with you. However, we are taught that pain is considered the 5th vital sign and it is whatever the patient says it is. Now before you cast me aside, let me remind you why this policy was adopted. Resea...

I am sorry, I don't mean this to seem "troll," but strike nursing is acceptable for a few reasons. First of all, the hospital can not endure the added expense forever, so is does not hurt the striking staff. Second, strike nurses have been used as a ...

Risperdal being pronounced "risper-i-dal" chaps my butt. resperidine is the drug name, so maybe they are mixing the two, or maybe you are missing the 'done'.

how many questions did you have? if you had less than 100, you passed for sure.

:yeah:grats to you! this should help put a few fears at ease that people can not pass at 265 questions. i am very happy for you. go ahead and call yourself a registered nurse outloud a few times. it really feels wierd at first, but then it feels like...

im in california and we have the tortuous waiting game. just out of curiosity, if the waiting is so bad and so long in california, why not apply for joint licensure in another state - with quick results - at the same time. yes, it will cost more mon...

i was told by lecturers and others who have sit it, that it's so easy, a homeless guy with a pick axe in his frontal lobes could pass. :chuckle:chuckle:chuckle that is one of the funniest things i have heard in a long time. maybe my sense of humor is...

ROFLMA...I'd say that is a safe assumption... Grats to you:cheers:

Hello to you in NC, I am in the triad area and also a new grad...new RN (Still hard to say:imbar) I received my ATT on June 5th, took NCLEX on June 7th and verified my license online yesterday - June 17th. North Carolina seems pretty quick once you t...

If you had a lot of SATA and 75 questions, you should feel very goos about yourself. SATA is high level questioning. You would not get them if CAT thought you were suspect. You would get easier, lower tier questions. The test is programmed to be just...

i heard that there are a few that are randomly selected to take the entire test even if the computer determined that they passed...anyone else hear this rumor? sorry the random selection for all 265 questions is a myth. i have copied a previous ...

ABSOLUTELY! Especially if there were a lot of SATA. These are higher level questions and indicate that the CAT believes you are very skilled. Lots of SATAs and 75 questions sould make you feel great.

Spot on:up:

hi, great response. just wanted to point out for information purposes, that the nclex seeks 95% certainty. the following info is taken from the national council on state boards of nursing website @ https://www.ncsbn.org/ge_faq.pdf: it is intended to ...

75 questions. BTW, your signature is a little offensive to the 1/2 of the population who both have friends and vote republican...can't we all just get along?
