  3. Vent about Mosby's CAT NCLEX RN review

    ZZTopRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i took it and started some 50% for the first one and then after that i got 97% and all the rest was 99%. but since i just kept getting 99% and many same questions, i lost

  4. "Just a number"

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

    P.S. I am an 8-year-retake to renew my license that I had let lapse, so I already had all my records and history

  5. "Just a number"

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why are there so many reassurances that the number of questions you get is "just a number?" To me, that is not reassuring. My understanding is the computer will pick up an area you are weak in and...

  6. "Just a number"

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

    Jaimee: I had some discrepancies that I needed to clear up. Although they had received the information in the CABON that was needed, it took them a long time to go through different departments. In...

  7. "Just a number"

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

    Ooh yeah, really about 2 1/2 weeks. Then they say 30 days. This a kind of bad time of year with all the graduating nurses. So I guess we just endure. Sure will let you when. Sending you good...

  8. NCLEX - the test we love to hate

    ZZTopRN replied to RNAnna's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nor would I want them in my neighborhood. It might be fatal. Seriously, now I understand why Suzanne always says that "everyone will get 50% right and 50% wrong." That is so sadistic. We work so...

  9. Are you a nurse from a dysfunctional family?

    ZZTopRN replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Nursing

    Funny but not so funny. I was seeing a therapist one time for depression. She asked me if my family was in therapy. I broke out laughing and said "no, they are all too busy going

  10. What kind of person???

    ZZTopRN replied to bise75's topic in Psychiatric

    Sounds like classic borderline. We've had a couple on the unit. Very manipulating, trying to play staff against one another. As you said, only concerns for self, does not care about other people or...

  11. "Just a number"

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

    Hi: No, still haven't gotten any results yet. I took it on the 19th and still don't have my results. Are you in CA. It takes forever

  12. re: something to consider...

    ZZTopRN replied to Granted Fal's topic in Psychiatric

    You are so right about the full time people not caring enough to do anything about it. I finally resigned my volunteer position (I am seriously seeking work now). It came to a head the last night I...

  13. NCLEX Blues

    ZZTopRN replied to pugsweluv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Karen: I really doubt you are going insane. In fact, you sound pretty sane. I like what you said, "Life is full of curve balls...guess we roll with the punches or drown in our own misery. What you...

  14. re: something to consider...

    ZZTopRN replied to Granted Fal's topic in Psychiatric

    Now that you mention it, I don't think I really want to work psych now. You post is very well taken. I had been volunteering on an adult locked unit for over a year. My NM talked me into renewing my...

  15. It's been 4 weeks now and no results yet, is this normal?

    ZZTopRN replied to sbed85's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That was very unusual getting someone rude at the CABON. I have had to call several times and they have always been pleasant. There even was a man that walked from office to office looking for my...

  16. "Just a number"

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

    Oh my gosh, that's the most encouraging news yet. Thank you so much. The only question I remember was something about hypophysectomy. I really researched my neuro but didn't see all the good stuff...

  17. "Just a number"

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

    Well, I did quite a ways beyond 75 although I don't know how many questions I had because I left my calculator on and didn't know that was where you find your number of questions. It sounds like we...

  18. Someone sent me a pm

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    and I couldn't open it. Is there any way I can retrieve it?

  19. Someone sent me a pm

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    How do I find my inbox?

  20. TL/IP: What do you put when searching NCLEX results?

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX on 5/19 in CA. I have been going to the CABON website and wondering what I am supposed to put in the box where it asks for TL or IP after you put in your name. Am I missing...

  21. Just called CA BRN

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I asked what you post in the temporary licenses you put in the box that asks you about your TL or IP license. I told her I took the NCLEX on May 19 and wanted to find out the results on the website....

  22. Problems with my Saunder's CD

    ZZTopRN replied to RainDreamer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi: I had lots of problems with my Saunders CD. Won't go into them. It was frustrating and I called Saunders and they told me it was my computer, that I didn't have enough RAM or something or...

  23. Just called CA BRN

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

    We are both absolutely right! It depends on who you talk to!!! I emailed the CA BRN webmaster twice on different days to ask about getting the results on the website. 1. You have to give it up to 30...

  24. TL/IP: What do you put when searching NCLEX results?

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

    Is there a specific section that says "verify license." I have been to both "temporary and permanent license spots."

  25. NCLEX RN today. I must be really dumb.

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm reading about everybody passing at 75. Well, I felt really confident when I went in to test today. I had done so well with the books and study questions and CD's including Saunders. Yeah, just...
