LOL. My daughter went to cosmetology school - graduated in one year the $8,000 tuition was paid for and she got a job doing nails at $40,000 a year in a small town of 30,000! This happened my last year of nursing school and I was seriously kicking m...

I'm doing peds private duty to! I love it. I don't care if it's a high paid babysitting job. I'm done with the stress and the drama and the crap I've been through. Maybe in a couple of years I'll get bored and want something using more nursing s...

In the other thread the OP mentioned taking off work alot because of being ill during her pregnancy so I don't consider that lying. Anyways if asked, she can give whatever answer she feels comfortable with. I read the article and checking with the ...

I read your other thread and I am so sorry about what happened to you. This situation you described doesn't sound right. I would take the advice other posters offered about calling the Labor Dept. and talking to a lawyer who specializes in nursing. I...

Where I live, I see job posts from hospitals that want nurses with hospital experience. That makes me think they don't value what you do in a LTC. I know alot of hospitals will take nurses from LTC but not around here.

I think the shortage came from the "good times". People are now delaying or completely avoiding elective surgeries because they don't know how long they will have a job. Hospitals have empty beds and are forced to cut back. In past decade or so, sc...

Bree, I commend you on your post. I am surprised to at the defensive posts. I think you are smart to be thinking about what the future of nursing may hold. I graduated last year and I had already worked as a CNA for three years throughout nursing ...

Even though it may not appear so, she has low self esteem and feels insecure. So she is bullying to overcompensate for those feelings. You need to stand up to her. There was a supervisor at my former workplace ( not healthcare) who was a bully. I...

A555 - I did to. That's why I failed the first time. You might go to your doctor and see if you can get on anti anxiety meds temporarily. It helped me so much. Eating a balanced diet can help with anxiety also. I find if I eat junk food my anxiet...

I'm sorry you failed again. I think you need to take a hard look at how you are studying and answering questions. You need to fix what's wrong in order to pass. How did you study with Saunders? I think it's a very good book to review content. I ...

What I did was review my answers and try to determine where I screwed up on missed questions. Sometimes it was just not reading the question thoroughly. Other times it was not reading all the answers carefully. Others were due to incorrect thought...

Don't be so scared. Anxiety can affect your performance. Your scores are actually really good. I think you will find the test easier than Kaplan questions. I took nclex twice. I failed the first time becuase of a severe anxiety attack during the...

Marcos9999, I wanted to thank you for the tips. I believe they helped me pass. I also found playing Tetris helped me to think more quickly and it was fun!

My LaCharity scores were mostly in the 60's and I just passed today with 75 questions!!

You might need more content review. I only read the Kaplan book and did questions and I failed the first time. Try Saunders Review 4th ed. That book helped me so much. I did a pretest a couple days ago off the ncsbn site and got a 69%. I just fou...

Get your test anxiety treated. I think that will help alot.

I think you should get your test anxiety treated first. Go to your doctor and see about getting some anti anxiety meds. I had a horrible anxiety attack during my test and failed the first time. I felt like my brain was in a fog and it took me 20 minu...

That is wonderful that you want to help her. Too many people don't know what to say and just avoid the person when they really need the support the most.

I think on the ATI that was sent you it explains that the name on the ID and the ATI has to be exactly the same.

OH no I'm not having a negative attitude. I did get pretty discouraged looking at that the stats. But I know I can pass. I do need to do more content review so I will be doing Saunders and keep reviewing Kaplan. Someone put up a great study plan t...

OK. I did look up some of the statistics. I really don't want to set myself up for failure again by having a negative attitude. I personally know three people who passed the second time around and one person who passed on the third time. I don't k...

Thanks for this! I will be using this study guide for my second nclex!

Can you show where these statistics are? I wonder if it seems harder because more time has passed since graduation and taking the tests? I don't know.

I did the Pearsonvue trick and it took me to the credit card page. So I am guessing I failed. I thought I was prepared enough. I did the Kaplan course, went through the whole book, got 59% on Qbank and 58% on Qtrainer7. I did some Saunders test qu...

From what I've heard the Kaplan questions are a little more difficult than the actual Nclex questions. I'm taking mine on the 18th. My qbank is 59% and the highest Qtrainer I got is 60%. One of my classmates only got above a 60% once on Kaplan and...
