    Very anxious

    anashenwrath replied to mimimaramo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't blame you! It's the scariest mouse-click you'll ever make! But everyone is rooting for you! Let us know when you take a look, and remember: It. Is. Just. A.

    NCLEX next week!

    anashenwrath replied to ~mommyof2~'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Welcome and good luck! If those are Kaplan percentages (I don't know Hurst) then I think you're SO

    Which patient to see first?

    anashenwrath replied to Bea Bea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    who's going to die first if you don't go into their room and help? Even severe pain is not as important as someone who is at risk for aspiration. If you go into Pain Guy's room, yeah, you stop his...

    Very anxious

    anashenwrath replied to mimimaramo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My understanding is that it doesn't matter if you got the last one right or wrong, as long as it was above passing level. But that might just be for people who go all the way to 265. Did you try the...

    OMG PASSED! (found out on boards before I found out from Pearson!)

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

    Thank god I'm not the only one! It was too surreal to get my results in 24h, when I had been prepping myself for 48 hours of madness. I'm not sure when you passed, but congrats to you as

    OMG PASSED! (found out on boards before I found out from Pearson!)

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

    Thank you! I am totally in a state of shock. I mean, I didn't think I was doing great, and when it shut off at 75, I was like, "Ok, there is no way I was getting enough passing level questions." And...

    Waiting for that letter - what to do until then?

    anashenwrath replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    LOL: That was me before my NLNs That was me before my interview That was me before my acceptance letter came That was me before each test That was me waiting for each grade That was me after finals...

    What was the HARDEST PART OF NURSING SCHOOL for you?

    anashenwrath replied to J.O.Y.'s topic in General Students

    Pharmacology. I thought I'd do so great at it, bcs i already had a bachelors with a minor in chemistry and I work as an editor in the pharmaceutical industry! But they gave it to my class as a summer...

    Passed My NCLEX

    anashenwrath replied to Happy_RN123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CONGRATS! Do you mind telling me exactly how long it took for the Quick Results to become available? Because I'm doing the PVT every two minutes, and it gets annoying, lol! (seriously: how come they...

    Can someone explain?

    anashenwrath replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For New York, our school gave us the go-ahead, and then we just sent in our applications. No photos or fingerprints, but had to get it notarized (thank god a girl in our class was a notary!). After...

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

    anashenwrath replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My understanding of the "last question" rule (if you go all the way to 265) is that it doesn't matter if you got it right or wrong, it's whether or not the question itself was at or above passing...

    Didn't do so hot on the Kaplan Nclex sample tests

    anashenwrath replied to my_purpose's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For what it's worth, I don't think you should reschedule. Kaplan wants you to be in the 60s because then you're WAY beyond the passing point. But really, you just need to be above passing, which is...

    Is Cape Cod just a dumb idea for a new grad?

    anashenwrath posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I take the NCLEX in March and immediately plan on fleeing NYC and never looking back. Proud that I lived here, proud that I earned my RN here, can't wait to leave here, lol! Now, I know that this is...

    Should I move up my test date?

    anashenwrath replied to RunawayN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For what it's worth, if your QTs are the same as mine, QT 3 is one that a lot of people drop on. I average in the low 60s, and on QT 3 I got in the low 50s. I almost threw up. But my Kaplan prof was...

    Can a nurse start a hospice?

    anashenwrath replied to anashenwrath's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Thank you GrnTea! Because I'm still so wet behind the ears, it's hard for me to visualize exactly what I'm going for. I just... I think about how a video we watched in class about a midwife (I swear,...

    anashenwrath replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Had my first "I'm getting close to being a nurse" moment last week: My pt had a seriously epic, award-winning code brown incident. Afterwards, I told the nurses on my floor about it. Cue laughter....

    Can a nurse start a hospice?

    anashenwrath replied to anashenwrath's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    OK, since this is a long-term goal, I could continue my education and go for an NP. I will put this on the "Things I Would Need to do First"

    "Don't tell her why she's here"

    anashenwrath posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm a student in my last semester, where we just do 12-hour shifts twice a week for a month. I chose to work on the hospice floor, since my goal is to become a hospice nurse. So far it's been an...

    How *not* to draw up morphine

    anashenwrath posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I thought I'd share what happened to me on my last clinical rotation, since it (a) is funny in a stupid way, and (b) might keep someone from making the same mistake. And just so you know, I'm in my...

    writing in the "field"

    anashenwrath replied to jacqie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nurses can do all sorts of writing! There are tons of nursing journals--some are very scientific/clinical and demonstrate research nurses have been involved with (usually regarding patient care,...

    How *not* to draw up morphine

    Welp, glad I'm not alone! Thanks everyone for the sympathy and the commiseration! Definitely the kind of mistake you only make

    How long does it take to get called for a nursing school interview?

    anashenwrath replied to ruby1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Usually they'd wait til after the application deadline, especially if they have a strict cap on the number of students. My school (which is just painfully administratively disorganized--like moreso...

    Is Cape Cod just a dumb idea for a new grad?

    anashenwrath replied to anashenwrath's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Er, I don't know the name of any hospitals hiring new grads in the area. I'm not from the area, so aside from my tiny amounts of networking, I don't know much about the job market there at all....

    Networking during clinicals

    anashenwrath replied to BriGuyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Meriwhen's got it. Network, but not to the point that you're not nursing. I'm doing my 12-hours on my dream floor, and I have made sure that everyone knows I'd love to work there--while at the same...
