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

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

    Took my exam today, wrote 265. Was trying to avoid thinking about it when husband managed to google the Pearson Trick, which I had almost forgotten about. Tried it out of curiosity, and got the 'good'...

  2. Bummed...

    Byaggha posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just got the quick results from my first attempt at NCLEX-RN this morning - the fact I'm calling it my first attempt should let you know how well that went. I'm mad at myself, because I know I have...

  3. Bummed...

    Byaggha replied to Byaggha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks guys - I appreciate the up side thoughts! And sweetmya specifically, thank you - that might be just the resource I needed. I also grabbed a box of 1000 questions on cards from Saunders, a book...

  4. Bummed...

    Byaggha replied to Byaggha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks marcos. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's always hard when the wound is raw like

  5. new disease

    Byaggha replied to hollyandsky's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to suggest that one too. Lujo is apparently something like Ebola's bigger, badder cousin - very scary and neat

  6. When do we learn how to start an iv

    Byaggha replied to VampRN's topic in General Students

    Sim man! We've got two; I consider them my babies (even though I'm only a nursing 2 student) - I got to do the hookup and test of them when the school moved the nursing lab down a floor. So much...

  7. Enough is enough: Get out of my wallet.

    Byaggha replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    Way ahead of you. My mom's got a beautiful fake-tree that lives in a box in the basement until the holidays, and I have three cats who eat ornaments and tinsel, so I don't even put one up. Presents...

  8. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Byaggha replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Please stop acting like you're kings and queens of the universe. Your ranting against the nature/delivery/content of our professor's lecture (or against the person of the professor themselves) does...

  9. When do we learn how to start an iv

    Byaggha replied to VampRN's topic in General Students

    I think the reason behind not really teaching us is that most hospitals have their own system and training for it anyway - they're going to train us out of whatever we learn here, and into whatever...

  10. I'm Sooooo Intimidated!!!!

    Byaggha replied to NursingStudent!'s topic in General Students

    Yeah, it's tough out here in the wilds of nursing school, but it's also one of the most supportive and awesome environments I've ever been part of. Being around students who actually want to learn and...

  11. just want to know!

    Byaggha replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    Money too. Mine is mostly gone, and only my husband is working right now - I almost didn't have enough to pay for this semester, and loans...hah, funny. Not right now. So we're on a tight budget right...

  12. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

    Byaggha replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    It's as hard as you make it, really. It's all up to how much work you put in and your ability to prioritize things. There's a lot of memorization and skills to learn, but if you practice and do your...

  13. I spent over 600 dollars on textbooks and supplies

    Byaggha replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Pretty much all of my three semesters so far have cost me the same - roughly $550-650 in books. Next semester - my last - should finally be the cheapie. I think I only need one new book for that, for...

  14. So FREAKED! Took NCLEX and still no results...

    Byaggha replied to smleicester's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! Glad to see the worry was for nothing.

  15. Update on Transgender nursing Student

    Byaggha replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in General Students

    Wow. After having read through most of the situation and the great responses people have given you, I don't really think there's anything left that I can say to you, except this: You're probably one...

  16. Newbie

    Byaggha replied to PNCnursingstudent10's topic in General Students

    Welcome to the gang, Maggie! :3 This is a great site for advice, friendship and general hanging around - everyone here understands you and the problems of nursing education...it's great! Good luck in...

  17. Had a Bad Day

    Byaggha replied to mfuentes's topic in General Students

    Nurz2be is right - this is stressful, but you need to chill out. Just relax and take it one day at a time! Getting all worked up and believing you can't do it don't help anything - back up and look at...

  18. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    Byaggha replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    ...How much does a life cost? I was forced to hand mine in at the door to nursing school, and I'd kind of like to get a new one when I

  19. How many study hours per night (do you average?)

    Byaggha replied to Equinox_93's topic in General Students

    Maybe 2 or so, depending on what needs to be done, plus whatever I can get done at school in my breaks. I slacked on this stuff last semester, and it showed. I don't really want a repeat performance...

  20. How do you feel about wearing the nursing caps for pinning?

    Byaggha replied to MnemonicFanatic's topic in General Students

    I wish my school did the caps at pinning, to be honest. I want one, if just to frame and hang on the wall with my diploma. It's classic nursing; something I immediately think of when I think of...

  21. Why do a lot of people aim for the bare minimum?

    Byaggha replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately I think this one's rampant - not just in nursing, but in every job I've had and every class I've taken. There's always people who want to get by on the bare minimum. I used to be one,...

  22. Required Textbooks

    Byaggha replied to POMD01's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you on the expense part. I think my first semester was around $700 in textbooks alone, the list including a hefty fundamentals text, a nursing diagnosis book, a dictionary of nursing and...

  23. miserable

    Byaggha replied to Wishes_RN's topic in LPN to RN

    There is a sort of bonus to it though, really - a certain amount of anxiety is actually helpful! I mean, being stressed out and crazy with panic level anxiety isn't so good (as it mentally crashes you...

  24. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Byaggha replied to june2009's topic in General Students

    Thanks june! Same to you and all of yours, and the rest of the board! I'm not going to get the sleep I want out of the time off - mom insists on dragging me Black Friday shopping every year - but hey,...
