  1. Pearson Quick Results

    futurecnm replied to unpetitpoulet's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX RN on Monday at 2pm and the state board of nursing listed "passed" next to my name by 8am the next day. You don't have to pay for test results through PV because the state board will...

  2. # of questions percentage

    futurecnm replied to ibmaryann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know in my state they brochure said 85% pass overall, but not sure about the % at 75 questions. It can mean you are doing really well or really NOT well for it to shut off that early. I think it is...

  3. Very special case, Nursing as a second job, doable?

    futurecnm replied to NYC_NJ_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious, why did you go to RN school since it sounds like your primary job will always be finance?? If you make decent money and like your job it seems that nursing school was a huge...

  4. If you have taken HESI and NCLEX>>>>

    futurecnm replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just relax, really. Part of it is staying calm and knowing that you can pass. YOu got through nursing school and scored well on HESI. You know your stuff. I did not take a review course either. I...

    i took mine yesterday (mon the 9th) in mn and by 8am this morning (tues) there was a "passed" next to exam results on the board site. however, this evening i still do not have a license number...

  6. Best shift for moms w/toddlers?

    futurecnm replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    It might be hard to get shifts that are that specific. In my opinion, the best shift for young kids is evening shift part time. You would be home during the day with your kids and your spouse would...

  7. Should I Reschedule???

    futurecnm replied to SmetRN2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the NCLEX and passed 3 weeks after graduation. I only studied about 2 weeks. For me, the anxiety of waiting was a detriment and I knew that I needed to just be serious about it for a...

  10. If you have taken HESI and NCLEX>>>>

    futurecnm replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I definately thought HESI was easier then NCLEX. I scored well on all the HESI's in school without studying. I studied for NCLEX for about 2 weeks, over 3000 practice questions and some review. I...

  12. Need Help!!!

    futurecnm replied to princess3706's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what you mean? You mean work after graduation at a hospital? I don't think a letter will work. Some hospitals have programs like this but you may need to do some

  13. The nurse who wasn't. Thoughts and comments.

    futurecnm replied to lulu123's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this also. Just having the RN does not mean a whole lot if you don't have any true experience working as a RN. It does mean that you got through nursing school which is no easy feat....

  14. The nurse who wasn't. Thoughts and comments.

    futurecnm replied to lulu123's topic in General Nursing

    An associates degree would be cheapest and probably 3 years. Only do it if your heart is really in it because nursing school will probably be one of the hardest things you will ever do. And for me,...

  15. New Grad interview experiences

    futurecnm replied to jogimada's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How do you handle a conflict with an employee? Tell me about a difficult situation with a patient and how you handled it. Tell me about a time when you were a

  16. Getting CNA job w/out cert while in School

    futurecnm replied to 2bnurselovescoffee's topic in General Nursing

    Have you completed a semesters of clinical? USually that is acceptable in place of a NA class. I would send an application in directly with a resume that has your nursing school info on it under...

  17. Advice needed, back against the wall, clock's ticking

    futurecnm replied to knexx's topic in General Students

    I would definately not pay 30K for a 1 year LVN degree. That is a crazy amount of money in my opinion. And you will still have to do the RN program on top of that. I would search out cheaper...

  18. Interviewer asked about my GPA

    futurecnm replied to JessicaSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You will hear a lot that employers do not care about GPA, C=RN, etc etc. But I have found that some employers and specific managers do care about GPA. I know one hospital I applied to requested a...

  21. new grad: resignation from job hurting my chances for new job

    futurecnm replied to Punkin5's topic in General Nursing

    Did you already resign??? If not, then I would pursue the manager about transferring you. Like the HR person said, they are trying to take the easy way out by having you resign. By telling them that...

  22. Career ending mistakes?

    futurecnm replied to emsillystudent's topic in General Nursing

    we just learned about a lot of this recently in class. mistakes happen. falls happen. bad things happen, even to nurses. nurses are human. mistakes are mainly due to system errors and this is why...

  23. My school won't let me retake any of my prerequisites

    futurecnm replied to oned's topic in General Nursing

    This may sound harsh, but I think it would be a good idea for all colleges to not allow re-taking (probably won't happen as they get money from students retaking class, which then takes up spots for...

  24. new grad: resignation from job hurting my chances for new job

    futurecnm replied to Punkin5's topic in General Nursing

    Also, can you ask for a detailed reason why they want you to resign? I mean, they are supposed to train you and must have seen something in you that made them think you could do the job. i would...

  25. new grad: resignation from job hurting my chances for new job

    futurecnm replied to Punkin5's topic in General Nursing

    did you ask her about a position in the same hospital in another department? I would think after all the work of training you they would want to keep you in their system (unless something really went...
