    Pearson vue trick

    SopranoKris replied to Bigman7788's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OP, I passed in 77 questions. You won't know for sure until you pay for Quick Results or see your license # posted on your state's BON. Good

    Pearsonvue site update/maintenance (07/18/2015)

    SopranoKris replied to Jpcvcj19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If PV was smart, they'd charge everyone for trying to re-register. That would stop PVT dead in its

    Passed NCLEX w/75 q thx to Kaplan!

    SopranoKris replied to FLgrl79's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree. I felt Kaplan was harder than NCLEX. Remediating the rationales are the key to succeeding. Congrats on passing

    The agonizing wait!!

    SopranoKris replied to Ravens1127's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The number of SATA has nothing to do with being above or below passing level. It's simply a type of question. Good luck & let us know when you find out if you passed

    Chamberlain or Davenport?

    SopranoKris replied to di48346's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The campus in Troy is new for start-to-finish BSN, but they've been offering online RN-to-BSN programs for quite a while. That's how I know about them. DeVry (who owns Chamberlain) is headquartered...

    PreNursing at 30+

    SopranoKris replied to TeagMariez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just graduated from nursing school in May. I am 46 years old. I do have kids, but fortunately, one is over 21 and the other just got a drivers license, so they were self-sufficient enough to not...

    good and funny comebacks?!!

    SopranoKris replied to loveNurse12's topic in General Students

    I would say something like "yes, we have to care for our patients during some of the worst times in their lives. When I have to do this it's because my patient isn't able to do it himself/herself. If...

    SopranoKris replied to LovelyLocs's topic in General Students

    I have been thoroughly enjoying all the time off since graduating. I've read a ton of books, took a vacation and have enjoyed sleeping in and staying up late :) I did have to spend time studying for...

    I just have to vent

    SopranoKris replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Students

    When I took my phlebotomy certification course, we did the same thing and practiced on each other in lab. The night of our first check off, I get paired up with the youngest student in the class. She...

    Consider This Before Paying For KAPLAN Or Any NCLEX Preparation "Course"

    SopranoKris replied to ThatNursingDude's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just paying $500 won't make you pass NCLEX. Actually putting in the time to study the material and learn the decision tree and do all the practice questions & trainers does. I personally felt...

    Scheduled my exam! Any one else testing next week? (July 7th)

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

    Thanks! I had to go get mandatory blood testing for nicotine, drugs & immunization titers. Passed the nicotine & drug tests (of course!), still waiting on the titers to come back. They made...

    You're right. It's been great going through this with you

    I think I failed!

    SopranoKris replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, that's not true. You could have been far enough above the passing line that it shut off. Getting the last one wrong does not mean you failed. Getting 155 questions doesn't mean you failed. Does...

    Tips To Manage Time?

    SopranoKris replied to hmgnrse's topic in General Students

    Use a planner that has monthly, weekly and daily planning pages. Most of all, make sure to schedule sanity breaks for yourself. I went through nursing school with a family and was still able to...

    75 questions.. Worried

    SopranoKris replied to AB1212's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! See? No worries :) I don't know about your state, but our BON has no consistency posting license numbers. Some classmates got theirs 24-48 hours after NCLEX. Some 4 days. The average seems...

    4 Things Canadian Nurses Need to Know To Pass the NCLEX

    SopranoKris replied to apal87's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Great post! I think this should be a sticky note at the top of the page so Canadian nursing students can find it

    I think I failed!

    SopranoKris replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, your theory is incorrect because of how computer adaptive testing works. You could have the last question right and still be under the minimal passing level. The first reply to this post has a...
