    Are the quick results ever wrong?

    LadyT618 replied to boyfactory's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe Pearson gets their results straight from the horse's mouth, i.e., the State Board of nursing/the powers that be. It's as good as

    Question: Will studying for NCLEX lead to passing?

    LadyT618 replied to Bala Shark's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is imperative that you answer as many questions as you can before taking the NCLEX, just to ensure that you know the material. What I used as a guide to know I studied enough is when I just...

    LadyT618 replied to dalegirl's topic in New York Nursing

    I haven't heard of any in particular, but you may try any of the VA hospitals. You may take a pay cut in comparison to other hospitals, but I believe they payback your loans if you commit to work for...

    it was a good way to increase my tally of questions before taking the exam.....I got tired though, I only did a little under 2000 (with only about 200 from this

    Why do I about people dropping out of Nursing school so often??

    LadyT618 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in New York Nursing

    When I was in school, the only person I was worried about was me, myself and I. I didn't have time to be worried about the people around me. Like Dratz said, the reasons are many, but you have to...

    LadyT618 replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    Thank you NYForLove!! Really appreciate the support. I know I didn't insult anyone in any of my posts. The nurses and surg techs there were wonderful to me. I know people who were in the program with...

    NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    LadyT618 replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    I never said that the nurses were not dedicated at HSS. There are indeed a few that are truly dedicated to their jobs. However, anyone with any kind of intuition and sixth sense can feel the tension...

    NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    LadyT618 replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    No problem. PACU isn't bad as a stepping stone to ICU, but I think the ortho focus may hurt you and on top of that, these patients are NOT critical like the patients u typically see in the ICU. Most...

    I actually have the same bag, but the strap broke shortly after getting it. I have to switch it out with another strap or something or take it to get it repaired. It is a great bag though, with all...

    NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    LadyT618 replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't know how true the "no weekend" thing is for the PACU, cause HSS is forever performing too many surgeries for the space they have. For example, today (and usually every Thursday and Friday),...

    NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    LadyT618 replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    I actually drove to work (past tense cause today, 8/11, was my last day). I really could not take being a glorified gofer and I missed ICU, so I'm going back to that. I would like to know who they...

    LadyT618 replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    I currently work at HSS in their Perioperative Nurse Residency Program. Let me be the one to tell you, it still needs plenty work. Every person that interviewed us from HR straight up to VP of...

    Fail NCLEX--notify job???

    LadyT618 replied to JadeRN7's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    This is true but you never know, maybe the friend is contacting her BON as we type here. I believe the OP mentioned that she hasn't heard from her friend in a while, so she probably doesn't even know...

    Fail NCLEX--notify job???

    LadyT618 replied to JadeRN7's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I don't see what the problem is in asking advice on behalf or friends and family. People do it on here all the time, whether it be NCLEX advice or health issues. I guess when people ask about health...

    I hate night shift

    LadyT618 replied to shannon5446's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Like Tim said, it definitely takes time. Same thing happened to me when I worked nights. It took a while for my body to adjust (I was like a vampire), once my body got with the program, on my days...

    This was a pleasure to read. I am very proud (and I don't even know u). I always imagine if I would react the same way in similar situations. What else besides your bp cuff and stethoscope do u carry...
