1. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   CrazedStudent replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX-RN this past Tuesday morning. I did the Pearson Vue trick 2 hours after I got home. I got the pop up saying I couldn't register for another exam and to contact whomever at PV. I'm in IL so I could do the quick results this morning ...

   CrazedStudent replied to moliuchick's topic in General Nursing

   I second Mayo Clinic. My Grandpa was up there last week for an aortic valve replacement surgery. They are amazing.

3. How do you do it?

   CrazedStudent replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Students

   You just do it. Everyone has a system that works for them. What's important for me to keep up with in my daily life during school is not important to another person. You have to be flexible with your schedule, for sure. You'll jump in and figure ...

4. Is anyone else avoiding studying?

   CrazedStudent replied to madnurse2b's topic in General Students

   I'm the same way, I'd rather scrub the toilets than study somedays. I have 2 finals on Friday and the last one on the 18th. I had every intention of studying tonight after putting my son to bed. He's been in bed over an hour...

5. Never been this unenthusiastic and unmotivated about studying..

   CrazedStudent replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

   You are not alone. I'm suffering from "senioritis" and I'm not a senior yet! I have 8 weeks of class left for this semester and level 3 of 4 is done. Allow yourself a break here and there. I've found that making a list of everything I need to do, ...

6. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

   CrazedStudent replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

   "Failure is not an option" "They only have me for x more weeks" "If Nursing were easy, everyone would do it"

7. Should I even begin to pursue this?

   CrazedStudent replied to TiffanyBCbus's topic in General Students

   I didn't have a 4.0 and admission into my program was based on GPA and completed pre-req's. You should go for it!!

8. Legal Dilemma! Scared! LONG

   CrazedStudent replied to puddinpop's topic in Criminal

   Don't put your instructors on such high pedestals. They are human too! :) I agree with talking to your instructors about this and asking what they suggest you do. Good luck!

9. Time well spent before nursing school

   CrazedStudent replied to Christine43's topic in General Students

   Get the book Fluids and Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy! This is a subject you want to know well.

10. Help made a mistake during clinical!!!

    CrazedStudent replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Students

    You made a mistake. You recognized it, owned up to it and contacted the doctor. You're human. Thankfully, it worked out! Be a little kinder to yourself. :)

11. You know you're in nursing school when....

    CrazedStudent replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    :yeah:Yes, this is very true. Haha! My husband is guilty of this as well (he's an EMT and in the Paramedics class). He'll yell at the TV "That's a NON shockable rhythm!!!"

12. do you have good clinical instructors?

    CrazedStudent replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 3rd level of the RN program. I haven't had a "bad" clinical instructor yet. I've had two that I didn't mesh well with and thought them to be very wishy-washy, but they were good people. I recently completed my OB rotation and had a FANTA...

    You begin to check out the veins of strangers in the grocery store...

14. Too much 1st semester?

    CrazedStudent replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    There's no way I could have taken another class on top of the nursing classes and clinicals. If you've loaded yourself down before and done well, then go for it. You know what you can handle.
