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

    Gerry1888RN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi everyone. I have a question about Person-Vue trick. I took my NCLEX yesterday morning, and I was hoping that if I passed, my results would be posted on the BON's website sometime today. However,...

  2. Just took the NCLEX

    Gerry1888RN replied to llzz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX-RN this morning also. I don't know if I passed or not. I know you can check Pearson Vue, but I'm too scared to do that. I should find out tomorrow or the following day if I passed by...

  3. to all new grads out there..

    Gerry1888RN replied to jxRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the best way for a new grad who is struggling to get a job is to consider looking into remote areas and long term care. I graduated 3 weeks, and still have to take NCLEX-RN exam, but I have a...

  4. Jobs, No Jobs, Career Options

    Gerry1888RN replied to OldMareLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the nice post. I respect your frustraions, but it is hard for new grads to join the military due to many not having their BSN's and not having experience. I think a lot of new grads need to...

  5. Passing NCLEX by only doing practice questions

    Gerry1888RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does anyone think that you can pass the NCLEX 1st time by only doing practice questions. I have only practiced about 1800 questions since graduating, and I have my NCLEX scheduled for the 23rd of...

  6. Nclex-RN scheduled June 23rd :o)

    Gerry1888RN replied to Luckylefty87's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck on the NCLEX there. I'm taking my exam on the 23rd of this month, and I'm freaking out a bit too as I know the exam has changed a bit recently. All I'm going to do is 250 practice questions...

  7. Filipino nurses all over the world.

    Gerry1888RN replied to tenderlovingcare's topic in General Nursing

    What a joke. America is far from a free country, especially if you are a gay person as they are not treated equally. Maybe you earn more money here, but you don't get the healthcare, and many States...

  8. Patho, Summer 2010

    Gerry1888RN replied to thatsthekeyRNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was wondering also why Patho is a pre-req for NS. I now realize it is for accelerated BSN. I heard that these programs are very tough. Good luck

  9. If I can only get through this MATH ! - ugh

    Gerry1888RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in LPN to RN

    I found math hard also. I had to do 4 math classes before I was able to start my Associates degree in nursing. I got a "B" for, basic, begining, and intermediate algebra, and I then got an "A" for...

  10. New Grads, enough complaints about preceptors.

    Gerry1888RN replied to Katie5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My preceptor was great. She did understand that I was still only a student and I needed to practice a lot of skills. I hope to be a good preceptor when I have the experience. Hope to be an RN next...

  11. Work as LPN with U.S. ADN degree

    Gerry1888RN replied to jenn8500's topic in International Nursing

    Thx Fiona, You are correct when you say that my country did help educate me, and provide me and my family with healthcare, but the Uk is not good place for RN's. The pay is terrible there for nurses,...

  12. Work as LPN with U.S. ADN degree

    Gerry1888RN replied to jenn8500's topic in International Nursing

    I'm thinking about trying to move to Manitoba, or any other province that allows ADN's to work as RN's. I know most provinces require all their RN's to have a BSN now. I got my ADN two weeks ago, and...

  13. US jobs for foreign nurses living in the US

    Gerry1888RN replied to bettyboop22's topic in International Nursing

    What is a dependant visa? If it is a H4 visa, I don't think you can do any type of work. The only way that you may able to do some work is to change status to an F1 student visa. But you are already...

  14. Worried about hiring requirements..........

    Gerry1888RN replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    It might happen here eventually, but it will take several years and it will be gradual. I know most Canadian provinces now require a BSN and their LPN's have similar education to American trained...

  15. Major Vent

    Gerry1888RN replied to LouisVRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Why is it that Americans are annoyed by the fact that many people who were not born here don't speak English all the time. It's not like America own the English language. Why can't Americans invent...

  16. C's In Nursing School

    Gerry1888RN replied to redraider1977's topic in General Nursing

    My local hospital are only hiring new grads with a 3.0 or higher. However, I'm not sure if that's nursing GPA, or cummulative GPA. I heard that some hospitals are only hiring new grads with a minimum...

  17. Another dosage calculation problem

    Gerry1888RN replied to nowRN's topic in General Nursing

    I got 240ml/hr. I think it's right, but not too sure. I converted the 440lbs into kgs=200kg, then I multiplied that into the 10mcgs=2000mcg/min, then I converted the mcgs into mgs=2mg/min. Then I did...

  18. Paper help, looking for articles

    Gerry1888RN replied to Leomom's topic in General Students

    My college library had a lot of different nursing journals on various subjects. I found an article for my Psych paper there. I just photocopied it and attached it to my paper. It was good enough for...

  19. LPN Grad (Army) HELP I can't seem to find a job after applying at several hospitals?

    Gerry1888RN replied to bluelpngrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's best to get your RN if you want to work in a hospital. My local hopsital doesn't hire any LPNs no matter what extra experience they might have. I know that a lot of nursing homes might hire a new...

  20. New Grad Question: Grades vs Medical Experience

    Gerry1888RN replied to redraider1977's topic in General Nursing

    My local hospital has opened up their new grad program a few days ago. They state that only graduates from our state with a 3.0 can be accepted. I think more hospitals will look at grades these days...

  21. Nutrition and pathophysiology missing in curriculum

    Gerry1888RN replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Nursing

    We have to do Nutrition at my community college. There are two different types of Nutrition courses, a one credit class, and a 3 credit class. I chose the 3 credit class as it counts towards a BSN. We...

  22. Hesi exit RN HELP

    Gerry1888RN replied to r&r10's topic in General Students

    Do you have access to the Evolve website, the company behind the HESI exam. Our college gives us an access code so we can do our case studies, and we can do over a thousand practice questions. Also,...

  23. respecting ones faith at work...the fine line

    Gerry1888RN replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    Sasha, I'm assuming when you say "lifestyle choices" you mean gay people, or as you say "homosexual groups." People don't choose to be gay! People choose what religion, or what type of "God" that they...

  24. my school is allowing TEAS test retakes? ***! is my score good enough??? please help!

    Gerry1888RN replied to maybug's topic in General Nursing

    What's the TEAS test? I did the HESI exam to get into nursing school and I got a 87%. Is the test similar? I feel that nursing schools are letting their standards drop as over half of my class who...
