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

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

    Same for me. I had probably 20 SATA, 1 that required lab value knowledge, lots of infxn and endocrine and lots of prioritization. No math and no alternative

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

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

    Thank you so much

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

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

    Took my NCLEX-RN Saturday June 11th. 75 questions in 45 minutes. Got the good pop-up in 1.5 hrs and got the unofficial pass this morning at 9am

  4. How I Passed NCLEX-RN

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

    I appreciate what ATI did during school but it just isn't the same as the NCLEX. Good luck and study hard. You can do it

  5. Confidence?

    Callisonanne replied to sbostonRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ditto on the bipolar. Throughout the day you'll start remembering questions and frantically googling them. Some you got right and others you didn't. Nature of the beast I say

  6. Idiot!

    Callisonanne replied to CrunchyMama's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey don't feel bad. When I first applied to nursing school (I graduated in May of this year) I scheduled my placement testing for one of my choices and completely forgot about it. A week later I...

  7. NCLEX RN today - stopped at 75q

    Callisonanne replied to begosh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You cannot do the PVT until it says Delivery successful. Once it says that go try again and see what it says. Good luck

  8. Help - NCLEX RN test on hold - Received appeal letter from Pearsonvue

    Callisonanne replied to praying220's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly I would also see if you can get a thing from the phone company showing how long your call was and who it was too. They may ignore it but if you give them a good picture of what happened then...

  9. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

  10. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    Callisonanne replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    I was the first of our 15 students to get 2 patients at clinical

  11. I guess I've become sensitized to nursing.

    Callisonanne replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Ah I experience something very similar. Every time I see rushing fire trucks, police cars, or ambulances I get a knot in my stomach and my eyes start to water. It's like there is so much emotion that...

  12. 700 pages of reading, per week, for one class

    Callisonanne replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    I would also suggest when you read the book to just briefly read the sections you are familiar with. A lot if the time the book is just going into full detail of the powerpoints. If you have a brief...

  13. Nurses what is your favorite state and why?

    Callisonanne replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Now i'm only in nursing school but I figured I would chime in. I live in NC and I love it. You get the mountains with snow and then in 6 hrs you can be at the beach in the sunny weather. Each part has...

  14. pro life to work in ER OR OB

    Callisonanne replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    I think the IF was just if you decide to go into nursing not implying your lack of ability to do

  15. pro life to work in ER OR OB

    Callisonanne replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    I just have a quick question. I know earlier you posted about your beliefs with BC and then someone commented on BC when it is used for someone with heavy menstrual cramps or even ovarian cysts....

  16. I am a new nursing student but am not doing so well

    Callisonanne replied to utchick's topic in General Students

    How old is your son? If another student has a child of similar age maybe you can do a play date and study together. I do agree with the above poster. You could probably get a younger but safe sitter...

  17. Do I need to volunteer in a health care setting to make sure i get in?

    Callisonanne replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I certainly agree that volunteering is a good idea. I am currently in my first semester of an ADN program. My only medical experience was my CNA classes and clinicals. Our entrance was based on gpa...

  18. Everything about multiple choice questions

    Callisonanne replied to ekler1234's topic in General Nursing

    When you first read the question cover the answers. Allow your brain to think about it before resorting to the answers below. That way you can think about when that topic was introduced in text or...

  19. No cellphone policy at work? What about PDAs?

    Callisonanne replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know for our clinicals for school we are allowed to use a PDA but only if it has no actual phone on it. Kinda lame but oh well. It also can't have a camera for privacy

  20. Struggling To Decide on MD or FNP

    Callisonanne replied to Health-Nut's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I think you are right. I was originally on a PA plan but I didn't have the desire to wait around to get accepted into school I feel like you do have a little bit of a better shot going BSN to NP....

  21. Struggling To Decide on MD or FNP

    Callisonanne replied to Health-Nut's topic in General Nursing

    What about getting a Bachelors in Bio or Exercise Science and then do Physican's Assistant. That way you get something very similar to FNP but also some emphasis on the MD thought process and...

  22. I stink so bad Mcallen, TX doesn't even want me.

    Callisonanne replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

    It may not be that she doesn't like you...a lot of the time the person doing interviews is just as nervous as the person being interviewed. Don't discount it until you know for sure. Either way keep...

  23. I want to become a RN/LPN but confused

    Callisonanne replied to nhanu399's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently in an ADN program and we have 3 or 4 students in there that are LPN's. Most of them have children and that was the reason they did LPN first. I would go talk to the schools in your...

  24. i got a job!

    Callisonanne replied to KADRN's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats!!! That's an awesome and unique way to start nursing. You will get a ton of experience from that

  25. What color are your school uniforms?

    Callisonanne replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    We have navy blue pants with tapered leg or wide leg. Then our tops are white with buttons and then we have white lab coats. They don't fade at all over time though which is nice. All you have to do...
