    CiaMia replied to Jersey1314's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yep, saw your edit after I

  2. MGH Direct NP program 2016

    CiaMia replied to Jersey1314's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    There is actually a big difference between the two disciplines (medical and nursing) in terms of how you see patients and the attitude towards care you provide. PAs are trained under the medical model...

  3. MGH Direct NP program 2016

    CiaMia replied to Jersey1314's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Congrats! Been hovering on here to read about your experiences hehe, I just finished up a post-bacc ABSN @ MCPHS but applying to MGH-IHP for MSN after I get a little experience!

  4. MCPHS (FNP) May 2016

    Congrats!! Not in the FNP program but was at MCPHS (Manchester) for their ABSN and overall loved

  5. Passed NCLEX first attempt in 75 questions with 25 SATAs

    CiaMia replied to Nurse.Faith's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, that's true! the NCSBN FAQ says: It says "most occasions" but I think that's a CYA thing haha. I didn't get any brand names - I had never thought about the brand names being different in...

  6. PV Quick Results

    CiaMia posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey everyone! So I took NCLEX on Wednesday morning at 8am, and wrapped up a little after 9am. I thought I'd be able to sign in today and get quick results 48 hours after, but it's still saying...

  7. PV Quick Results

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

    Thanks OC!!! For all the laughs and for keeping me sane

  8. PV Quick Results

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

    my exam started at 8am on 1/27. Quick results were up a few minutes after 9am on 1/29. :-) (... And I got an email on 2/4 that my license had been processed by the MA BORN and that's when I was in the...

  9. 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

    no popup tells you definitively that you passed. the PVT does NOT confirm pass or fail. It is software glitch/work-around. but yes, to get any response you have to submit your credit card

  10. 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

    Yes, you do. if you get charged it is non-refundable even if you have passed. Also, I would be hesitant to call the PVT

  11. PV Quick Results

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

    It did, though I didn't take it seriously haha. That moment when you hit "submit" officially and see PASS is

  14. NCLEX is OVER!! ... Now what?!

    CiaMia posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi wonderful people! I took the NCLEX today after graduating in December (took forever to get my ATT because of the holidays). first off, holy moly, getting in there is almost more intense than going...

  15. Got the BSN, now on to the NCLEX

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

    Cut off at 75... walked out not really feeling sure either way, haha. Good message/popup on the PVT, but that means nothing. Quick results tomorrow

  16. 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

    That has nothing to do with PV/the trick and everything to do with how charges get processed by banks and credit card companies. It's the same thing when you swipe your card before pumping gas - it...

  17. Did I fail the NCLEX 265

    CiaMia replied to Flo4Prez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    .... I don't even know where to start with

  18. NCLEX is OVER!! ... Now what?!

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

  19. NCLEX is OVER!! ... Now what?!

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

    ETA-- okay, I caved and did the trick. "Good" popup, for whatever that's worth (taking it with a crate full of salt

  20. Time is finally here

    CiaMia replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck, keep us posted... I'm testing tomorrow; have one more HURST quiz to do (my average is 81), did UWorld (64th percentile right now) and went through rationales and am now making quizzes from...

  21. Where to take NCLEX?

    CiaMia replied to nicbasti08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the endorsement route would take longer overall... there is no difference in terms of the test itself, it's a national standard.

  22. Where to take NCLEX?

    CiaMia replied to nicbasti08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can apply for licensure in one state but actually take the the exam in another! :) You apply to a specific BON/RB for licensure and they grant the ATT. Once you have that, can then go to any...

  23. PVT 2016

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

    Her opinion IS valuable. We are all in this discipline together, and how we represent ourselves as a whole affects all of us. Being dismissive of her (and pointing out your own credentials - why,...

  24. PVT 2016

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

    Yeah, it's not refundable per PV's TOS... but if you want to make a donation..! :) (honestly, for me - I'm testing on Wednesday, no idea yet if I'll do PVT in a moment of desperation haha but hoping...

  25. Fall 2016 MCPHS applicants

    CiaMia replied to Tammy2016's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Since you're a student, I think it'd definitely be important to have an academic recommendation also. :-) Lots of people from my cohort came from non-traditional backgrounds. Good luck!
