  1. Help!! I'm shut out of the NCLEX exam!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseCookie2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yup! I did see that later. I respond as I read, I don't want the replies of others to influence what I have to say

  2. Mean/Competitive nursing school classmates

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cowgirl_RN's topic in General Students

    LOL, that's LIFE! You'll see it in the real world now that you're out of school too. Unfortunate, but

  3. Help!! I'm shut out of the NCLEX exam!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseCookie2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I may be reaching, but I was under the impression that OP was already an LPN by her use of "nurse" in her screen

  4. Help!! I'm shut out of the NCLEX exam!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseCookie2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, this!! Courses like A&P, microbiology, the communication classes, etc required an 80% to pass b/c they were considered general classes that ANY major might take (although realistically some...

  5. Help!! I'm shut out of the NCLEX exam!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseCookie2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm sorry, but if you got a 77% when a 78% was needed, you did not pass the class, and yes indeed, that is a bitter pill to swallow. As explained by another poster, GPA has little to do with it,...

  6. Help!! I'm shut out of the NCLEX exam!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseCookie2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The way I understand it, your school has to inform the NCLEX Gods that you have passed all classes as prescribed by them and are qualified to sit for the NCLEX. A 77% when a 78% is required would...

  7. "Wait for the nurse"

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to brido's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The clinic we use as a family utilizes almost MA's exclusively. There are very few RN's on staff and they are used to handle phone triage and the rare IV or catheter. They used to use LPN's...

  8. took nclex 14x still failed

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Casey1765's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is only going to sound harsh, I'm aware. BUT, honestly, there should be a cap on how many times a person can take the NCLEX. FOURTEEN times and fourteen failures speak volumes. Especially if...

  9. Recommendations for pre-nursing school supplies

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm the nerd who LOVED setting myself up with school supplies each semester--and since I did p/t nights/weekends, it was a LOT of semesters =). Every subject had a notebook/matching folder assigned...

  10. Is putting my n-clex "score" on a resume a bad idea?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to silkysteph's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's a pass/fail, passing the exam is all that matters. Putting your score is a bit pretentious,

  11. How do you challenge the boards as a CNA?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Shonay's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm not sure how you can take the NCLEX without ever performing the skills learned in the LPN

  12. How do you challenge the boards as a CNA?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Shonay's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I THINK that the OP wants to be licensed as an LPN while she works towards an ADN. She'd like to be able to get her LPN license without the actual LPN degree based on her years of experience as a...

  13. Anatomy and Physiology

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to claritasd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had to do a pig eye. Eyes skeeve me

  15. Good pop up and Failed???! Really??!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to westcoastguy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    LPN and RN have a different maximum number of questions I believe, I'm not sure which test the OP

  17. Good pop up and Failed???! Really??!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to westcoastguy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ah see, you can't stop members from posting the experiences of their friends. That's the beauty of free

  18. Good pop up and Failed???! Really??!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to westcoastguy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why would you "have" to believe what another poster wrote? The PVT is not rocket science, it seems to work for most who have tried it, but waiting until you see your name in print on the BON website...

  19. Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    I do PDN night work with a sweet little girl. Once she's asleep I break out my laptop (slight pinterest addiction), pop in a DVD, read my Nook, do crossword puzzles, etc. The day nurse who relieves...

  20. Home Health Clerical job. Want EMT or LVN experience. What could this be?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Oedgar's topic in Home Health

    Answering regarding your possible upcoming dental work--bone grafts are typically fast healing procedures orally, you really shouldn't need excessive time off of

  22. What does it cost to renew your license?

    BuckyBadgerRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was chatting with a friend who is an RN in Canada (I'm NOT playing the RN card as opposed to just saying nurse---I don't think Canada has LPN's--I could be wrong--and don't want to offend anyone!)...

  24. First write up as an RN

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Leesha's topic in General Nursing

    Why in the "blank" didn't the DON go talk to these patients herself to get the story? Either they're looking to get rid of you or there is a gap in the

  25. Fake nursing/CNA licenses or what?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My state doesn't license CNA's, the CERTIFY them, therefore, looking them up on the BON website isn't going to find
