  1. Expect to take nclex in December after, 1.5 years AFTER graduation - advice?

    pers replied to sydney shaw's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You aren't alone! There are a few posts from folks who have taken and passed the NCLEX after being out of school for a couple of years and there are a number of us (like myself) who have been out a...

  2. Last name on badges?

    pers replied to BroncoSmoLVN's topic in General Nursing

    I covered mine with tape but when I went to get a replacement badge HR noticed I'd covered it up and offered to leave the last name off my new badge! Several coworkers replaced theirs and requested...

  3. RN as director of a daycare...talk about new frontier!!!

    pers replied to nyteshade's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it would be a great idea! You might talk to school nurses. It was never something that interested me but a friend of mine is working as a school nurse and she does a lot of educational...

  4. RN tattoo

    pers replied to jackson145's topic in General Nursing

    One of my coworkers got an EKG line of his daughter that goes around his bicep. Far and away my absolute favorite medical

  5. Help with Difficult Instructor

    pers replied to abcabcabc's topic in General Nursing

    You could file a complaint about the quiz and test scores but I wouldn't really count on administration having your back on that point. However, I would most definitely file a complaint that you...

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

    pers replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not sure why the PV trick works, but I don't think it has anything to do with refunding money since PV clearly states they don't offer refunds (legitimate practice). I imagine it is more likely a...

  7. average question trainer/qbank scores testing in 2 weeks

    pers replied to perfectly_4given's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry to wander off topic a step but can you retake the trainers and diagnostic/readiness tests or once you get a score that's your score? As I understand it you can redo the qbank even after...

  8. NCLEX...I can't study!!! Ahh!

    pers replied to oguesswhat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have never been a studier either. I haven't taken the NCLEX and I am working on studying for it but I didn't really study at all through nursing school and got good grades by either attending...

  9. I Wonder How Long...

    pers replied to doesntlookgood's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it and I know the majority of my coworkers wouldn't do it either. I'm not getting a raise this year and I can live with that but no way will I work for free. There is a definite trend...

  10. Everyone has a 4.0 GPA!!

    pers replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    I think we have all looked at someone and wondered how they ended up where they are because from where we sit it's pretty hard to imagine. I also think it's natural to compare ourselves to others...

  11. Nevada employment checks

    pers replied to buffalowing81's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak to Nevada specifically but I was also taught to include the last 5 years of employement. If you had temporary jobs that were meant to be temporary then I would definitely indicate that...

  12. Personal questions from patients and visitors

    pers replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this but I find many patients want to follow-up their questions to the point that it's no longer just polite in my opinion. A perfect example is asking if I'm married or have children. I...

  13. Student nurse gives out number to patient !

    pers replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I have exchanged personal info with a patient a time or two. For me, it's been about both other business opportunities and at least twice I can recall it was to exchange recipes. One of my best...

  14. Developing a Plan for taking the NCLEX-RN

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

    If I could afford it and had the option of auditing a program I would do it. I looked into it and was told there's no room for someone who is just going to audit the classes as they'd rather the seat...

  15. Personal questions from patients and visitors

    pers replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I really dislike it as well. I understand it's generally accepted small talk to ask about a person's family life but I wish it wasn't! It's not easy to skirt the issue and you are so right that most...

  16. Took NCLEX this morning....

    pers replied to kevang22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sadly, it doesn't mean anything if you get the last question right or wrong. Hang in there though! 85% of people pass the NCLEX so the odds are on your side! Some have found the Pearson Vue trick...

  17. Failed 2nd time. NEED HELP :(

    pers replied to autopsy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Stickies refer to posts that are found at the top of the forum and stay there at all times. They also have a red push pin icon next to the title. Most posts move up and down the forums as people post...

  18. what is considered difficult question

    pers replied to SadNBlue's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SATA are Select All That

  19. What do you do with your dogs during 3 7a-7p shifts???

    pers replied to goofygreyhound's topic in General Nursing

    Mine stays home in his crate but I work nights and my s.o. works days/evenings (not healthcare). We don't have a fenced yard but it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be outside without us anyway as...

  20. Opinions on a term.

    pers replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there's anything wrong with the term but I do think there may be something wrong with your coworkers. To clarify, I don't think it's the term that is derogatory as it just denotes a...

  21. Nclex results... how long

    pers replied to skinnycow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Pearson won't take longer to have your results as they don't care about your background. Your BON might take time to investigate and delay issuing a license till they are done and reach a decision...

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

    pers replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We can't say for sure you passed because you have to wait for your official results on that! However, it doesn't matter that you tried a few hours after testing as long as it said delivery...

  23. Nclex results... how long

    pers replied to skinnycow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm not positive as this is just info I've picked up from reading about it but I believe the exam results come back the same for everyone but your BON may delay issuing a license. Does your state...

  24. night shift workers how much sleep do you really get?

    pers replied to blondnursey's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work days and even after a year I couldn't adjust to sleeping at night and being up and at work by 7 am. I don't think I ever slept more than 3 or 4 hours a night and many times I went to...

  25. Shut Down at 75 questions and I think I Failed!

    pers replied to NewenglandMSNRNBC's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Most people seem to feel that way! It's hard to relax I'm sure but you might try the Pearson Vue "trick" to help with anxiety. Also keep in mind that 85% of people pass the first time so the odds...
