i took and passed the nclex-rn this weekend in pa at a local testing center but still no license so far. i know what they tell you, it could take 4-6 weeks to get the actual license in the mail. i understand that, but the license usually posts instan...

hey everyone, i am bringing this post over from another area of the board from when someone asked me some tips for success while working through a nursing program. i thought that this post might be useful to nursing students frequenting this section...

3-11 is such a garbage shift. Honestly if your gonna F up my day by making me come in at 3 you might as well make it 11a and get the punishment over in 3 days so I can actually have 4 useful full days to myself.

Our school used these but they were handed out each class, not purchased. Each student had a clicker with our name on it. The computer knows exactly who everyones clicker is and can keep statistics on each students answers. That being said they would...

That nervous excited feeling you are experienceing comes with the territory. It's great being a nurse though so when it gets tough dont let it get you down!

Good luck to everyone starting this fall semester. Study hard, keep focused and git r dun!

Good luck to everyone who is starting (or already has started) thier program this fall. Remember hard work and determination make it happen!

Wow, thanks

And while we are at it. Why is a lady who need this kind of care on vacation being kept in a hotel and cared for by an unknown person?

sometimes i get the vibe that the staff inthe hospital don't like us guys around, someone comes through like this. it'sgood to know that there are people out there that appreciate what you do. thanks!

How this scam works is as follows. -They give you a (bad) check -You deposit it -The bank initally clears the check and you withdrawl money -You "deduct" "your pay" and forward the balance to the Scammer via an unrecoverable and hard to track method ...

I keep 2 around. I have my original cheepy from way back in my EMS days when I just started out. I keep that one in the car now in case I come across something and can help out. As for my good one. I have a littman master cardiology that I wouldnt tr...

To prepare we used ATI in our program. The school had the ATI crew come in and do a 3 day live review with us. In addition I used the Saunders 5th comp review and the lacharity book. For a frame of reference, I too took the ATI predictors and had a h...

She takes it in about a week though. In my last week I was hitting 200-400 questions a day.

yes, congrats!

as it were the noisy gear gets the grease.my follow-ups with the bon yielded results and it got issued today. about 8 hours after having a license i have a job offer for a summer camp. man that is crazy. i am expected to start on friday so i am pack ...

I hope it does come through soon so I can move forward and hopefully get some work. Anyone else have any experiences with it taking a while (for whatever reason) to get everything through and a license issued?

Congrats on passing this monster exam!

I would recommend looking up your local state board of nursing to see a list of approved programs in the state you are seeking education in and then go from there.

Dont focus so much on the "wall of text" or "get as many questions done as quickly as I can" studying methods. That wont really help you the way you think it will. Instead do questions and understand why the options are right/wrong with rationales be...

One more thing. SATA questions are a mean animal, and you will see them. They are a love / hate relationship, we hate them because they are hard but by the same token we love seeing them show up because they (usually) indicate that we are doing well ...

first off, i understand how you are feeling. when i was preparing for my exam i had some of the same feelings. i can't decide for you but this is what i think. if you feel you are not ready to test then i wouldn't. i am not saying that i think you sh...

Do a quick review of each area of practice with special emphasis on your weak areas. Also it would not be a bad Idea to review meds and labs as these are things that can be touched on with just about every patient scenario. Review 5-10 ECG patterns, ...

In retrospect i am not sure if that makes me a "sucker" or just a student with wrecked nerves that couldnt take waiting anymore...

I have been getting the good pop up and was waiting to see the license on the PA BON but it didnt show yet so I finally broke down and paid the 8 bucks. That being said I passed but I still feel kind of ripped off. The ability to see your result shou...
