  1. 230 on NCLEX...?

    Sturmgeist replied to Matthias's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats

  2. Possible to Pass NCLEX Without Mastering SATAs?

    Sturmgeist replied to PacoUSA's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The best bet on how to get through the SATA is to treat each answer if it was a True or False. Only look at one answer at a time. If you look at all the answers at once it will just confuse

  3. Possible to Pass NCLEX Without Mastering SATAs?

    Sturmgeist replied to PacoUSA's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I only got 5-10 SATA. I passed with 75 questions. However, some of my classmates got 35-40 questions out of 75. So it is random on which style test you get and what topics are covered. You should be...

  4. 230 on NCLEX...?

    Sturmgeist replied to Matthias's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think that the number of questions means anything. I had three classmates (that I know of) whose test shut off at 183, 136 and 190 questions. Did you try the PVT? Try it and you will know if...

  5. Do you ever feel ready to take NCLEX?

    Sturmgeist replied to ginar1274's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Relax. Every NCLEX test is different for each person. I barely had 5-10 SATA, whereas some of my classmates had 20-35 of them! I passed with 75 questions. You can get other higher level questions that...

  6. The GI upset has started

    Sturmgeist replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you both sharpeimom and GitanoRN. It has been hard on all of us, but one good thing has come out of this. Prior to this my father and I were estranged for over 6 years. We have reconnected and...

  7. NCLEX-RN on 6/5 8am (EST)

    Sturmgeist posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay, after 1 very intense year of study through an ABSN program I graduated on 5/3/12 and am taking my boards in several days. I have taken two of the "Hurst Q-Review" tests and scored 76% (95 out of...

  8. The GI upset has started

    Sturmgeist replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know how you feel. I had one of the most emotionally stressfull weeks of my life this past week (with my little brother killing himself r/t schizophrenia). It was so hard to concentrate to...

  9. NCLEX-RN tomorrow at 8am

    Sturmgeist replied to JRich's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow, that was a quick turn around! I keep checking and the PVT pop up is still there. Hopefully SCBON gets my #

  10. NCLEX-RN on 6/5 8am (EST)

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

    It was hard as heck! I didn't count how many SATA I had, but I know I had more than 5 and less than 10. That sort of freaked me out b/c I kept on thinking that I was not going to pass b/c I was not...

  11. NCLEX-RN on 6/5 8am (EST)

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

    Just got home from the testing center. 75 questions and it shut off. I got the good pop up from the website. So it looks like I passed! I can put RN after BSN now! Thank you everyone for your thoughts...

  12. NCLEX-RN tomorrow at 8am

    Sturmgeist replied to JRich's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats JRich. I know that is a huge relief off of your shoulders...T-minus 11 hours for me

  13. NCLEX-RN on 6/5 8am (EST)

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

    Short update. My little brother just started hearing voices about 3 months or so ago. Unfortunately they were command hallucinations and he was able to function and keep himself out of being involun...

  15. NCLEX-RN on 6/5 8am (EST)

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

    Thank you everyone. Every little bit helps. I wish I could reschedule...but June is almost all booked up and I am supposed to start my position on 6/18. Not much I can do except multi-task here and...

  16. NCLEX-RN on 6/5 8am (EST)

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

  18. NCLEX-RN on 6/5 8am (EST)

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

    Thank you for the advice. I will keep that in mind. I will treat it just like I have the practice exams. Sometimes I catch myself waivering on some questions (either reading too much into them or just...

  19. An easy lab value mnemonic that I made up (NCLEX)

    Sturmgeist replied to ish84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hope this works for you, but for me that is just too much information. I would just gladly remember the low-high for each. There are not that many to memorize and from what I have heard NCLEX is...

  22. NCLEX-RN on 6/5 8am (EST)

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

    @WeirdNurse, Thank you. That is what I keep telling myself (though I am breaking out in stress pimples at 40!). I keep saying "Take it slow and sure", "Don't rush yourself", "Look for the question and...

  23. Double standard for men?

    Sturmgeist replied to grpman's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ah, okay. So they were stating that you were going to have sex with the baby. That is a huge relief. Sex before birth won't hurt the baby. Okay. Still inappropriate, just not as nearly as...

  24. Double standard for men?

    Sturmgeist replied to grpman's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I guess this should be a reminder for all of us males out there. I have had some experience like this as well (with race and gender issues). I had known this co-worker and worked well with her for...

  25. Double standard for men?

    Sturmgeist replied to grpman's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Wow, that last part scared the crap out of me. I can't believe you couldn't just point to your schedule and say "I was never in the hospital when she was and I was out of town (here is my gas receipt...
