  1. Nclex nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Pitbullgirl replied to johnnrachel's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had 166 questions and passed, so being in the middle is perfectly okay. I know it's almost impossible not to worry, and I wanted reassurance too. But everyone is right. The numbers don't mean...

  2. Waiting time from graduation to taking NCLEX

    Pitbullgirl replied to rhp123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know what state you're in, but here in Kentucky, the new regulations require everyone after Jan 1, 2006 to work for 120 hrs in a preceptorship after graduation before they can take NCLEX....

    Pitbullgirl replied to Elizabeth19's topic in Operating Room

    I'm a new RN, just graduated in December and I accepted an OR internship at a Level 1 Trauma Hospital that starts in March. I understand many people feel you should get med-surg or other nursing...

  4. What about the middle men

    Pitbullgirl replied to jonjon8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Jonjon8, I understand how frustrated you are. Believe me, I felt like a lunatic for the 48hours after the test and before I found out on Pearsonvue's website. Like I said previously on this board,...

  5. What about the middle men

    Pitbullgirl replied to jonjon8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with MeghanRN. There is no magic number on NCLEX. Like she pointed out, the computer will keep spitting out questions until you answer enough to either fail or pass. However, I understand...

    Pitbullgirl replied to Disneyfreak's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! Now we can finally close the door on school (at least for now) and get started working as RNs. Hooray for

  7. Working as GPNA

    Pitbullgirl replied to Josifek's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Josifek, I just graduated with my BSN in December and took NCLEX-RN last week (passed thank goodness). I did a lot of research into the 120-hr mandatory preceptorship since I thought it might...

  8. Received this email today and I am steamed!!!

    Pitbullgirl replied to MomBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the email was hilarious, and struck me as pretty truthful. By the way, I only graduated in December and passed my boards last week. I don't take it as an insult. You need to lighten up, or...

  9. Working and Studying for NCLEX

    Pitbullgirl replied to TristateRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Personally, I needed a break between graduation and starting work as an RN. I also wanted the time to study for NCLEX. Maybe 2 weeks will be enough for you. I graduated in December and do not start my...

  10. Just took my NCLEX

    Pitbullgirl replied to MikeyBSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX on 2/2 and had maybe 2-3 multiple answers, and 0 fill in blank. According to Pearsonvue's website, I passed, although I will feel best when I receive my license in the mail! Good luck,...

  11. New Grads that wear RN on badge before licensure

    Pitbullgirl replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Nursing

    In Kentucky, beginning January 1st (I was the last class to be exempt, graduating in December), all new graduates will be required to WORK 120 HOURS with a preceptor before taking NCLEX. So at least...

  12. New Grads that wear RN on badge before licensure

    Pitbullgirl replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in December with my BSN and until I found out on Saturday that I passed my boards, I never referred to myself as an RN, always corrected friends/family etc. who called me RN, and my badge...

    For anyone interested, UAB has a master's program for RNFAs. You can find it at their website http://www.uab.edu/son/grad_acc_rnfa.htm I just graduated with my BSN, am starting in the OR in March, and...

    Pitbullgirl replied to Katie612's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!! I feel the same way -- this is much more exciting than graduating in December (even though that was great too). With NCLEX looming over me, I never felt "done" with the program...

  16. NCLEX in 9 days..what to focus on, emotions driving me crazy

    Pitbullgirl replied to nosillaj82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, I know how you feel--that's exactly how I felt prior to taking the exam this past Thursday. It sounds like you've done a lot of preparation and should be fine! I did the Saunders questions from my...

  17. Passed the NCLEX!

    Pitbullgirl replied to mona b RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!! I know how you feel. I took NCLEX on Thursday and for the next 2 days was a basket case. I'm supposed to start an OR internship in March, didn't know how this would affect me if I...

  18. PASSED with 166 NCLEX Questions!!

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

    Disneyfreak, I got my results by going to Pearsonvue's website and paying $8. They post EXACTLY 48 hrs after you finish the exam, not start it. I checked at 10:45am on Saturday, and no results posted....

    Pitbullgirl replied to Disneyfreak's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey Disneyfreak, Thanks for your response to my post and best wishes for passing. I'm feeling the same way you are--the questions were hard, I guess a good sign, but I'm doubting myself more and more....

  21. ADVICE: 42 yr old Male: Nursing

    Pitbullgirl replied to ksgomez's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above responses. My husband graduated 1 year ago from an accelerated BSN program at age 42. I graduated this past December and turned 44 at the same time. If your husband starts now,...

  24. NCLEX 166 Questions!!

    Pitbullgirl posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just took NCLEX this morning. It was horrible. Much worse than I anticipated. It shut off at 166 or 167, I can't remember. All I know is that I panicked when it went beyond the "magic" number of 75. I...
