  1. HELP!! I don't know if I passed & I need your opinion!!

    FarawaySoClose replied to Faith0203's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    From what I understand the "trick" should work as soon as it says "delivery successful" by the test you took on your "Current Activity" page. I don't think it's an exact science, not even sure how...

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

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

    I just took the NCLEX RN and finished with 75 questions in 45 minutes and feel like I've totally failed because there were some questions toward the end that seemed like they should be easy but I...

  4. Thinking about VA nursing

    FarawaySoClose replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Government, Military

    I haven't actually worked for the VA but I had the opportunity to do my Med-Surg rotation at the VA in Phoenix on the telemetry floor and my psych and preceptorship rotations on the VA psychiatric...

  5. Navy hopefuls waiting for ODS date/Station

    FarawaySoClose replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    I finally heard back, my recruiter has told me that there are a lot of critical care nurses who applied for this FY, and I lack experience entirely, and that my chances are not looking good but I'll...

  6. Nursing in the Military

    FarawaySoClose replied to SL2014's topic in Government, Military

    It sounds like you are seriously weighing the pros and cons which is good because this is a huge decision. 3 or 4 years doesn't sound like a long time right now but it will feel like a very long time...

  7. help on ATI predictor test

    FarawaySoClose replied to candy27's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry, Candy, I can't seem to locate my old codes and I'm not sure that we're allowed to share codes. Have you tried asking a classmate or asking ATI testing to resend your

  9. Losing weight for the military

    FarawaySoClose replied to dancer_meggs's topic in Government, Military

    No matter how much you exercise it won't make much difference if you don't watch what you eat as well. Losing weight is a simple matter of calories in versus calories out; what you eat versus what you...

  10. February NCLEX Test Takers....

    FarawaySoClose replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Got the ATT today and scheduled for Feb. 3rd (20 days from now, hope I'm ready). I read through the Kaplan strategy book, have been doing 100 questions a day with rationales (aiming to do 3000 in 30...

  11. Navy hopefuls waiting for ODS date/Station

    FarawaySoClose replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    When you say package do you mean to application packet forms? My recruiter had a detailer email me individual components over time to complete step by step. There is a medical pre-screen form for...

  12. Should I apply before I graduate to AF? Or do you have to have degree in hand?

    FarawaySoClose replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    You're going to want to get started right away. If you haven't already, visit Airforce.com and go to Explore Opportunities then Healthcare Opportunities section; you can check out the page for nurses...

  13. A Subtle Concept for Nursing Students, Nursing Majors and New Grad Nurses

    FarawaySoClose replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    RN Hopefull, if you truly want to be a nurse then go for it. Just like any career it's going to have its ups and downs because like other professions it's tied to the economy and right now every...

  14. Can/should I haggle with the recruiter?

    FarawaySoClose replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    Right now I don't think you'll have much of an edge in bargaining. There are currently many people applying to Military Nurse Corps and only so many positions. In regards to rank, that will depend...

  15. A Subtle Concept for Nursing Students, Nursing Majors and New Grad Nurses

    FarawaySoClose replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't complain to any of the unemployed new grads about being "frustrated" right now, lol, that in and of itself comes off as insensitive. Frustration is spending 6+ months searching for a job...

  16. Waiting on ATT in FL, How long does it take?

    FarawaySoClose replied to jefang5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My strategy is 100 questions a day for 30 days to total 3000 questions. I always read the rationales for the answers whether I get them right or not. I'm also using the Kaplan strategy book (if you...

  17. Waiting on ATT in FL, How long does it take?

    FarawaySoClose replied to jefang5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know what you mean! I'm ready to get on with my life but I'm waiting in ATT confirmation limbo lol. Also a big fan of having goals and deadlines too; I think nursing school ingrains it into you...

  18. Waiting on ATT in FL, How long does it take?

    FarawaySoClose replied to jefang5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Still waiting for ATTs in Arizona too. Everyone I know in my class that graduated 12/17 is still waiting and we registered with Pearsonvue and with the state prior to graduation to get things...

  19. A Subtle Concept for Nursing Students, Nursing Majors and New Grad Nurses

    FarawaySoClose replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a new grad perspective for you: when I first started the nursing program 2 years ago the economy was just barely on the brink of downturn and that B.S., as you call it, that our teachers were...

    FarawaySoClose replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    MidinPhx, thanks for sharing, the travel sounds like a great opportunity to explore. Bitbuc, I've heard many different things about commissioning ceremonies, from informal swearing in in the...

    FarawaySoClose replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    Starburst, I started trying to get in contact with a recruiter at about the same time, but I think it was May when I actually got in contact with one haha. Did you get to do a tour of one of the big...

  22. Navy hopefuls waiting for ODS date/Station

    FarawaySoClose replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    I like the coast better lol Seriously I'm not sure I could put it into exact words; the Navy just felt right for me, it meshed. It could just be because I first considered military nursing after...

    FarawaySoClose replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    It's a load off to know that I'm not the only one waiting especially since it's been such a long wait; looking back at my emails I heard from my recruiter that I got prof. rec.ed on Dec. 1st and I...
