Very good thoughts! That'd be great if I had my hubbies still here! It would be sweet if your hubbies place had decent benefits then you could actually work less but get more pay per hour than a full timer! Thank you for your response!

Yes more flexibility, retiring in 5 or 6 years. I have a granddaughter now in Florida and would like to take off and go for a week but that is hard working FT. I was just wondering if there are nurses on here that have gone PRN and don't regret it! Thank you very much for your response!

Wanting to have more flexibility with my schedule. But have always been FT for benefits and pto. What are your opinions for pros and cons? I am widowed and my last child just graduated from high school. He is 18 and I have others under 26 whom I pay for health insurance. Any suggestions for better options. All healthy! Thanks!

Thank you for commenting JBMmom! I am really glad it worked out for you!?

Would you trade...Work 8 am to 5 pm 30 points a week, 40 hours FOR.... 8-3, 32 hours, 24 points apx $17,000 less a year (Points is home health system/ per visit you do ie 2.5 points for a start up or intake, 1.5 points for recertifying or intake a patient just out of the hospital, 1 point for a repeat visit etc...) Curious for your thoughts...

I graduated in 2010, wanted to go in to NICU. I could not find a job bc of lack of experience. I worked in the ED and loved it and then went to Home Health for the past 4+ years. How can I get hired for a Pre op job when they say I need experience in pre op, or NICU ...same thing. Anyone experience this? Anyone have suggestions? :)

lifeguard at disney... photography school 1st college degree...built mini golf courses...then stay at home momma and photography business...always considered going back to college to be a nurse... husband got sick and i have kids to take care of...from college to preschool...just graduated at age 48... may 2010 starting my new career in the er in mid july

mcad... i wanted to start a thread w/ how many questions and good pop up or bad pass or fail... and they started the poll... i wish the poll had more info too! i had 240 questions and got the good pop up and passed, are there any that have signed into the poll that got the good pop up and failed? just wondering... soooo happy for all who have passed and want to encourage those that didn't that... ya got through nursing school! don't give up!!!

I heard back from some of my friends who tried the trick... they got 75 questions... Lucky! They both got the good pop up... and they all passed. We are all in GA... w/ quick results... I would be just beside myself in CA man how can you guys take it! The 2 days I waited for QR killed me! I just got an e-mail from the BON and my license is on it's way... WOW! I am an RN. with a license # and everything Hahaha Congrats to those that have passed and to those that didn't DO NOT give up! I will update on my friends who just took nclex and those that have yet to take it w/ their PVT results and all

It was worth the grueling 240 ?'s !!!!

i do believe... i do believe... i do believe in pvt!!! [color=#556b2f] [color=#556b2f]got the good pop up... just found out.... i passed!!!!! [color=#556b2f]

I am afraid that I will be that one person ... who did the pvt... got the good pop up ... and Failed I should know later today... I had a couple of my friends do it from school too and one of them had a 4.0 ! She got the good pop up and the other one did too. After sitting in there taking 240 ?'s while all of them walked out..... I dunno!

You took the test yesterday and found out today? How do you "look" up your name on the BON?

Here is mine... Nclex RN 240 ? GPU K 240 questions didn't get results yet good pop up (from pvt) I did the Kaplan review.....Oh yeah and how many questions did you get?

Hello fellow allnurses.com users! Yesterday after I took the boards I was feeling defeated... it was really hard and I know that you ALL know what I mean... so I got on here searching for support and ran across the pearson vue "trick" thread... I read and read and of course I tried it (out of curiosity) I got the "good" pop up but gosh darn it... I just took the test yesterday and I am petrified that I failed! I was comforted to know how many of you took the boards a second time and some thirds and fourths... I admire the fortitude! I wanted to start this thread to condense the "pvt" posts into a results based thread... I thought in the subject line we could put which test nclexrn nclexpn nclexlpn etc... then a P or F for pass or fail or ? (if awaiting results) pvt (GPU or BPU for good pop up or bad pop up) and K R A (for Kaplan, Rayfield ATI reviews) which one ya did... then in your post add anything about your experience with nclex or reviews or the pearson vue trick or just basic support for each other... we all need that! I think it will be interesting to see what worked... what didn't ... I am so freaked out waiting for the results and I really don't know if I wanna do the quick results! GOOD luck to all who await and congrats to those who passed... if you failed keep going for it and don't stop till you get there!
