  1. I am going to have my first nursing interview soon. This is the first place to call me back (and I am so grateful! It's very hard to find jobs around here.) I really would just love to hear any tips...
  2. What kind of watch do you wear?

    I mostly used the "stereotypical nursing watch" (as I jokingly referred to it) by Timex. White band, red second hands, water resistant, indiglo night light. I like one that is easy to read. However, I...

    Thank you- what a great response! I will keep you
  4. Changing Nursing for Hygienist

    Before I graduated from my nursing program, I thought about dental hygiene and occupational therapy. However, I went with nursing because I thought there would be more areas in which I could go (as...

    Hey! Good luck to you. Are you reading the rationales in full? Check out my post:
  6. NCLEX-RN... Passed!!!

    Congrats, RN! Oh my and yes! It is such a relief (and kind of weird) to be done with all of the studying and test hype. Good luck on the job
  7. Should i take a review class!!

    I think you can pass without a review course, as I have read stories on here of it happening. Do you have any NCLEX materials? I am not familiar with ATI - but if you still have access to it, you...
  8. 230 on NCLEX...?

    Congratulations to you, RN! PVT does work. And yes, you can pass at any amount of
  9. NCLEX Advice Please???

    Here is a link to a post I made shortly after my NCLEX experience. https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/my-nclex-success-754575.html Just some things to think about... Are you reading all of...
  10. Congratulations! It's nice to hear a success story. And it's even better that you were able to land a job in the field of your choice. I am also in PA but I am having a bummer of a time where I am....
  11. OK, biting the bullet...AGAIN

    Good luck to you. I have filled out some RN applications for others states online. This was before I got my RN license - so I wasn't really expecting any replies. I'd like to give it a try again now...
  12. Calculation??

    German girl is right. There is a post not too far back about therapeutic communication. Basically... Do not ask yes or no questions unless its regarding suicide Do not ask why Do not put the nurse...
  13. I didn't really study much the couple days before the test. I went over some SATA cards and meds. I also looked over a helpful cheat sheet that someone made on here. Just search for the topic NCLEX...
  14. Passed the Nclex!!

    I thought NCLEX was harder than Kaplan as well. There were too many questions on the NCLEX where I got it down to two
  15. My NCLEX Advice

    I agree - do not analyze the questions! I started to get a little worried after the test Bc I didn't feel like I got a lot of priority and delegation questions. I got a good number of SATAs and...
  16. Just took nclex today and I feel cheated

    Wow. Our experience and feelings about the test seem a lot alike. I received similar scores on Kaplan, turned off at 75, and even felt somewhat "cheated." I was so used to answering questions that 75q...
  17. My NCLEX Success Story!

    i took my test on friday afternoon and, well, caved in and got my quick results for $8 and found out i passed! i also did the pvt trick before this and it worked for me. i am so excited to be writing...
  18. NCLEX taken on Saturday

    I replied to your question in another post, but I will do it your own post, lol. You can get your unofficial Pearson Result in 48 hours from when you finished your test. So, you can get your results...
  19. Took NCLEX today...how accurate is PVT?

    I just tested a few days ago. I got the good pop up and passed!! I have read so many stories of it working for others that I was pretty certain it would work for me. I think we all feel like the PVT...

    Thanks all! Good luck to all of you about to
  21. I took my test on Friday - finished around 3 PM. It takes 48 hours for quick results to pop up. So, I was able to get my quick results at about 3 PM Sunday. However, I would definitely check your BON...
  22. Not sure of what to do.

    I hope this doesn't seem cold, but let that .1 point go. Can a professor even change that the next semester? DO you want to put a professor in that position? You will learn very fast that in nursing...
  23. Med-Surg & Pharm for the THIRD time.

    Sorry for the atrocious typos. I am on my kindle and it won't let me
  24. Med-Surg & Pharm for the THIRD time.

    These are all fabulous suggestions! I totally agree with GrnTea. Write, write, write! I used to mane little fact sheets on each topic. For instance, if I were learning about Pancreatitis I would...
