  1. New Nurse "Grocery List"

    CiaMia replied to ashrose1992's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ... isn't that exactly why we have a physical assessment class (or similar) with lab..?! At least in my program, we had whole quizzes and full-on return demos with teaching stethoscopes around that...

  2. New Grad about to Start!

    CiaMia posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi everyone! I graduated in December, passed NCLEX in January and was lucky enough to be offered a new grad position on the unit that I precepted on (med/surg/tele). I won't be working with the same...

  3. New Grad about to Start!

    CiaMia replied to CiaMia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you all so much! I'm really lucky that, when I precepted, I watched how the RN I was with set up her worksheets (we're given a printed packet when we come on that has all the essential info) and...

  4. Is your school requiring you to take a specific nclex review course?

    CiaMia replied to NurseInTraining123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We had to do a HURST live-review as a condition of graduation - the cost was built in to program fees. We also did HESI the whole way through... entrance, specialized exams (for course finals) and...

  5. Nclex question interdisciplinary team

    CiaMia replied to Maja3699's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Without seeing the question/options, my gut would be: complex issues with many need areas and expectation of long-term follow-up/oversight even after

  6. Pearson Vue Trick Feb 2016

    CiaMia replied to blongo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, if you go through this forum you'll find multiple people who had that happen to

  8. MCPHS (FNP) May 2016

    CiaMia replied to Alikatz08's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Not yet, but I just finished their ABSN in December and had an awesome time -- getting some experience before going back for advanced

  9. MCPHS (FNP) May 2016

    CiaMia replied to Alikatz08's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think it's the first PMHNP cohort! At least from what Dr Tobin (associate dean of the Mancheter SON :-) )

  10. I just answered all 265 questions on the NCLEX, what are the chances of me passing?

    CiaMia replied to Guest878640's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Per NCSBN: - Maximum-Length Exam Rule | NCSBN Video on Maximum Length Exam

  11. Dispelling NCLEX myths

    CiaMia replied to Rose_Queen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    1. No, this is a rumor. There is NO partial credit, per NCSBN: 2. I believe they ask you to ONLY type the numerical answer, no units, for calculation

  12. Dispelling NCLEX myths

    CiaMia replied to Rose_Queen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it's to do with the 95% confidence interval and how that works. Each question you get, and your response, gives the system a more accurate measurement of whether your ability is above or...

  13. MGH Direct NP program 2016

    CiaMia replied to Jersey1314's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    (ack, I'm sorry - wrong

    CiaMia replied to Alikatz08's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Good

  15. Pearson Vue Trick: Is it accurate? Do you know anyone who paid using their CC and passed?

    CiaMia replied to HeyViv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RE: quality control scoring, from NCSBN: This is why the PVT is much less accurate before 24 hours. The exam hasn't been reviewed by PV

    CiaMia replied to Mizlhady_Jhay07's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, in order to do the trick as of late 2014, you must submit payment info and risk Pearson Vue attempting a charge. As for test center staff having access to results, NCSBN says: Good

  17. Dispelling NCLEX myths

    CiaMia replied to Rose_Queen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Almost the exact same for me! Passed in 75, only 9 SATA

  18. Dispelling NCLEX myths

    CiaMia replied to Rose_Queen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No. Nonononono. THIS. IS. A. MYTH. and exactly what OP is trying to dispel. DIRECTLY from NCSBN: Just because it is a SATA question does not mean it's above passing standard. JUST BECAUSE IT IS A...

  19. NCLEX - Pass with minimal SATA?

    CiaMia replied to jl93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SATA questions (or any alternate format, really) are not necessarily above passing standard just because they are SATA. There are SATA questions at all ability levels. The number of SATA questions you...

  20. Pearsonvue Trick-Latest February 2016

    CiaMia replied to KurdapiaRN2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When you say "bad pop-up", you mean you got charged/attempted to be charged, correct..? To do the trick you actually have to submit payment info and risk the

  21. Pearson Vue Trick Feb 2016

    CiaMia replied to blongo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It did work for me but is not reliable. How soon after you tested did you attempt it? The NCLEX is scored

  22. Pearsonvue Trick-Latest February 2016

    CiaMia replied to KurdapiaRN2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the BONs usually have records that show when schools pull your licensure

  23. Running out of time VS. the 265th question?

    CiaMia replied to TikTokk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, I'm sure! If it had been able to make a determination earlier (within the 95% confidence interval), the system would have shut off and it wouldn't need to keep giving you items. But don't forget,...

  24. Foreign Nurse in Mass HEEELP!

    CiaMia replied to lopezgRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hey there, I can't directly answer your question (was on a H1-B visa, currently on an F1 visa, with OPT). I just wanted to mention you should be VERY careful about job-seeking on a tourist visa, since...

  25. Dosage answer on nclex 0.1 or .1?

    CiaMia replied to cptforge.gil's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lack of a leading zero (ie. writing .1 instead of 0.1) is on the Joint Commission's official Do Not Use list: Facts about the Official “Do Not Use” List | Joint Commission --...
