    Nclex disaster management

    If i'm understanding your question (and sorry if I'm not): you always assume NCLEX is referring to an ideal hospital where everything is handled by the books. So if there is a disaster and you are...
  2. My readiness was a 63.87. Nothing to write home about. In fact, none of my scores were mega stellar. ...And I passed at 75. Good luck,

    Why isn't this a HIPAA issue?

    Fabulous. I figured it had to be something like that. I just have all those Kaplan rationalizations still swimming in my head, where an answer would be wrong bcs "It acknowledges that the client is a...

    Hey, what's this paper? ...oh.

    So now that I'm done with school, I've been going through and chucking out old paperwork. And what do I find folded up in one of my binders, the "Certificate of Completion" for my coursework in child...

    Common nicknames for hospital items.

    My professor told a story about when she was talking to a student in clinicals at the nurses station. She asked the student: "Is that COW still in room 2A?" This was just as the student's patient from...

    I just want to use my skills!

    This is some really great advice guys. I'm going to look into LTC--high turnover might even be good, bcs I won't feel as terrible if I jump ship I really appreciate all the feedback and definitely...

    I just want to use my skills!

    Thank you so much wendy! I SHOULD look into LTC. I'm worried that it's going to be tough in the city, and of course I'm scared because I don't know where I'm going to be in a few months. I hate to...
  8. So I've been obsessively refreshing my good pop-up on the Pearson page, while I wait for my quick results (I took NCLEX yesterday). I've also had the New York State online license verification page...
  9. I just passed NCLEX Monday after earning my ADN. Now onwards to a higher degree! I already have a BS in biology/chemistry, so I'm trying to go straight to an MSN. WGU looks like it would be respectful...

    Would love to bypass that BSN!

    Hi both, Thank you so much for your responses! There is obviously a lot of great feedback and experience being shared, and I appreciate it. I will definitely make sure I look closely at the course...
  11. Hello! I just graduated with an ADN and have not yet started working in a clinical capacity (I just passed NCLEX on Monday, and I have a non-nursing job in the interim). I also have a BS in biology...

    RN to MSN--did you do it? how was it?

    Thanks schnookimz; I'll ask the rep about it tomorrow and see what is required of me. So you're working with an ADN right now,
  13. I'm sorry, like I said in my original post, I can't actually give any information aside from my personal experience and scores. You can certainly find old Kaplan review books online for majorly cheap....
  14. Lots of people post how they prepped for NCLEX if they did well, so I thought I'd add my story to the mix. My grades weren't great and I was kind of a wreck, but I passed at 75. So I thought I'd throw...
  15. Did you get my PM? I think you're fiiiiine! Don't push your date, please! I came very close to doing so, but that was bcs I was manic and having a hard time grasping that I'm not going to know it all....

    RN to MSN--did you do it? how was it?

    Thank you so much michelle for answering my original questions!!! I really appreciate it! I'm speaking with an Admissions rep tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get some more info. If I need to be working, I...

    RN to MSN--did you do it? how was it?

    I don't have an RN job yet. Like I said, I literally just took NCLEX, and I was working full time for Pharma before that (I still am in that position now). It didn't look like it was a prereq from the...
  18. Take a few deep breaths! It sounds like you have this. I definitely cracked down more in my last two weeks, but I took breaks too, since burning out is not something you want to do. If you're a...

    Took NCLEX yesterday nervous wreck

    Here's what I did. Let's look at the stats: - About 86% US NCLEX takers pass their first time. And that's a stat from NCLEX itself. - Study aids increase those odds, especially if you've done well on...

    Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

    @Madeline: Don't despair!!! Stop stop stop with the self loathing!!! PLEASE! You made it through nursing school! FREAKING NURSING SCHOOL! You have put yourself through WAY too much to doubt your...

    pearsonvue trick

    Oh, that would be such a nasty thing to do. People really stress out about that one. OP: for what it's worth, from my personal experience, I've never known anyone who didn't have the trick work for...

    pearsonvue trick

    There's actually a thread in this section called "Pearson Vue Trick was wrong" or something, and I'm pretty sure that's what happened to that
  23. Thanks everyone! And good luck

    Very anxious

    Good luck! No matter what you should be super

    Very anxious

    I don't think so. I think those questions (SATA, etc) are common "above competency" formats, but any question can be a high-level. A priority question, for example, or one of the ones with a quote for...
