  1. 6th TIME WAS THE CHARM FOR ME!!!!!!!

    pie123 replied to nursy2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For me, it was a combination of all of the things you mentioned: during the first attempt, not really being able to get a handle on how to prepare for NCLEX & worked nightshift, which is NOT my...

  2. Weeding out of nursing students

    pie123 replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    You mention about those who do not put enough time/energy into the program to succeed. This brings to mind a former classmate. This lady had 3 children & an elderly mother to care for. I felt for...

  4. Should I just move on?

    pie123 replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for your reply. I was thinking the same about the CPR course. Luckily, my brother-in-law was able to get me into a CPR course at his place of employment--for FREE! It's usually a $60...

  5. Career Advice for Potential Nurse

    pie123 replied to Vic300's topic in Nursing Career

    I am not going to go extreme & say that it sounds like you shouldn't be a nurse. I had a classmate who almost passed out at the sight of a needle. I often wondered why she was becoming a nurse if...

  6. Career Advice for Potential Nurse

    pie123 replied to Vic300's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh my goodness, I just read your public profile, thinking that maybe you had been a nurse for quite a while. I see that you are still a student. I am not trying to be harsh, & while your post does...

  7. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    pie123 replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was wondering the same: low salary = low cost of living; high salary = high cost of living. I am moving to Kansas where the starting pay for a new grad is roughly $17.80, from what I have been told....

  9. Family objections to your career

    pie123 replied to njxcrush18's topic in Men in Nursing

  11. I need help!

    pie123 replied to mega's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I think for these types of questions, you should just call the Nevada State Board of Nursing. It is really not that difficult. I will even give you the telephone number: 1-888-590-6726. It's a toll...

  12. UNLV pass rate on boards..

    pie123 replied to blee1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am a graduate of UNLV. Before actually starting the program, I attended one of their pre-nursing meetings. I asked about the pass rate for state boards. I was told that it was "subjective." The...

  14. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

    pie123 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I often wondered about the capability of the security guards at a former hospital. They were VERY elderly. Honestly, I didn't feel safe when they came to the unit to deal with psych issues. I guess I...

  15. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

    pie123 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    Me too with the Homehealth!!! My husband says I get lost in our driveway. I would get too frustrated! Plus, I truly dislike doing a lot of driving in general, but especially during hot summers &...

  16. Just curious - Age 35+ make it hard to find job?

    pie123 replied to DanaS's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know EXACTLY how you feel. I am 32 & just passed NCLEX. However, I wasn't doing anything prior to that...just hanging out, accumulating debt. For me, I have tried college a few times, &...

    pie123 replied to kcheng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry to hear that you did not pass NCLEX. I did not pass it the first time either & I had 75 questions. I took Kaplan after failing, & did not pass the second time, & I had all 265...

  20. New to Nevada Nursing

    pie123 replied to VegasRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I got the job at Spring Valley. It's 7am-7pm (which is what I wanted...I think). I hope that shift isn't too crazy. I filled out my pre-employment paperwork today. The bonus is nice, with no contract...

  21. Losing your license in Nevada?

    pie123 replied to jayrelic's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I've been seeing buildboards everywhere here advertising condominiums starting at $150,000, some cheaper than that & in nice neighborhoods. That's if you want a condo though. Who knows, by next...

  24. How long should you be an RN before starting NP school?

    pie123 replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree. Although I only personally know 2 people who jumped right in. One of my former classmates, within a month-and-a-half of graduating, enrolled in our university's NP program. They have also...
