    Does the bad pop up for Pearson Vue mean you fail?

    Mavrick replied to Smiller0332's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does the bad pop up for Pearson Vue mean you fail?

    Mavrick replied to Smiller0332's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't forget the matching socks. There is another thread on this very board where the poster was told to wear matching socks, did the PVT and PASSED! It works I tell you, it

    I took 80 questions is that bad?

    Mavrick replied to Egeolu1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What is your strange bed story?

    Mavrick replied to ECMO's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm stuck with my prison guard story. Guard had the prisoner's foot cuff securely attached to the hand hold of the foot of a regular med-surg bed. Didn't feel quite so secure when I lifted...

    This week I have learned (6/20, a day late)

    Mavrick replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    What I learned this week: 1) I can't work my newfound word, butthurt, into enough conversations. 2) Five full-sheet "going away" cakes is too much for a three-day work week. 3) It's OK to help out a...

    How to deal with stereotypes and vicious people

    Mavrick replied to rnhopeful2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's clear to me Dinosaur Dad has no interest in learning anything from you or any other man in nursing. So a quote of statistics or logic will be ignored or completely misinterpreted. You have...

    Is this messed up?

    Mavrick replied to RNstudent66's topic in General Students

    Since OP is asking my opinion about a situation I know virtually nothing about and have no interest in knowing more or actually injecting myself into some anonymous, possibly not even real couple's...

    I took 80 questions is that bad?

    Mavrick replied to Egeolu1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Based on your OP I didn't think you could possibly be a real person because it seemed like you were just repeating what hundreds of previous posters have said about taking the NCLEX (even the crying...

    I took 80 questions is that bad?

    Mavrick replied to Egeolu1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you wear matching socks? I've heard if your socks don't match and you get the "good pop-up" in some states your results will be available if you pay $7.95 for Quick Results. Also, you can't start...

    Failure In Need

    Mavrick replied to Bamana425's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In nursing school when you got to your first day of class, you got a syllabus/ handout that outlined the tasks to be accomplished in order to pass that class. There was probably a timeline and dates...

    What is your strange bed story?

    Mavrick replied to ECMO's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you dhg on the strange nature of OP's posts. I read through them too and additionally noticed a couple of weirdly inserted words, like Air Mattress and Intramuscular that make absolutely no...

    Mavrick replied to ECMO's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing. Is OP just a curious student or ICU nurse. It would have never occured to me they were a survivor of such a treatment bed. Best of wishes for your recovery,

    Apologies

    Mavrick replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Anytime you walk into a room full of strangers it is wise to keep your mouth shut and ears open until you get the lay of the land. In a word, lurk. If that is a new word, it means to hang out, read...
