    Too old for BSN?

    ThePrincessBride replied to forever88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are barely old enough to drink and you are asking if you are too old for a BSN? LMBO! I just graduated last month with a BSN at 23 years, 4 months and 9 days old. I'm going to be 24 anyway, might...

    Hey everyone, So I took my test yesterday (it cut off at 75 questions) and finished at approximately 1300. I have done the PVT test several times and did it again just now (it has been about 27...

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

    Well, I did the PVT. I entered my credit card information and I hit submit. It would not accept my payment. That is considered to be the "good" pop up, right? Thank you for all the replies and...

    Thanks ICUman. I felt as though I did not know any of the questions because so many were hard. None of the reviews I took were anything like the NCLEX. I am having a panic

    I feel sick to my stomach. It shut off at 75 questions. I went to PVT and took me the credit card page (I didn't submit any info though). I just feel sick to my stomach. I want to

    Thank you so much. I keep having to remind myself that this test is a minimum competency exam. It feels good to hear that I am not the only person going through this. Good luck on your nclex! I...

    Post-partum or Med-Surg

    ThePrincessBride replied to EH44's topic in Medical-Surgical

    If you think you would like PP more, then go for it. However, the skill sets are very limiting. Where I work, the PP nurses have a bad rep of not having strong nursing skills. It isn't surprising as...

    I have a friend who took six months to get a nursing job. And she has her BSN. Have you even taken your nclex yet? I graduated last month and just got my att last

    Depressed about life choices

    ThePrincessBride replied to Dwilder's topic in General Nursing

    @ Brandy, I see what you are saying but I disagree about a nurse not being much better off than she was with welfare. As a nurse, the OP would be self-sufficient and wouldn't need to rely on...

    ThePrincessBride replied to melme's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. I went to school to be a Registered Nurse, not a LPN. Besides with all the legalities and liabilities, I doubt that is such a wise idea. There are plenty of RN jobs outside acute care. Don't...

    I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

    ThePrincessBride replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, it IS for the NCLEX. EVERY NCLEX review I have taken has stated that RNs should NOT delegate (initial) assessments, (initial) teaching and never evaluation or anything related to IVs. It is...

    Venting and Sub-par Programs

    ThePrincessBride replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    OP, you are part of the problem. These schools wouldn't exist if students did more research and STOP giving them money! Other posters have informed you to leave while you still can. I agree with them....

    New grad resume. Please critique

    ThePrincessBride replied to jprxs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That is way too long for a new grad. At most it should be one page. If you were a very seasoned nurse with 20+ years of experience, then that would be different. Here is what I would do: Get rid of...

    Panic Mode - Need a clinical site!

    Sounds like a scam, for-profit school. I've only heard NP students needing to hunt down preceptors, but RN students? Smells pretty

    ThePrincessBride replied to lilnursey'15's topic in General Students

    I was held back an entire year. I survived and ended up graduating just seven months after my original cohort, and many did not even get nursing jobs until the month I graduated from school. It was...

    I agree with the instructor and it is a shame she even had to send out the e-mail. You are joining a profession, so be prepared to act and present yourself like

    ThePrincessBride replied to mdiada's topic in General Students

    Took me 5.5 years to get a BSN. No debt and only 23, plus with over three years of healthcare experience. Student debts are the devil. Stay away from them as long as possible. I know some people who...

    ThePrincessBride replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I live in a state that doesn't know if it is red or blue. I don't care about a person's sexual orientation, patient, nurse or colleague. I would rather not hear about anyone's sex life at work,...
