    wearing nurse memorabilia before becoming a nurse?

    BloomNurseRN replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    Just be honest with her. I didn't get anything that said NURSE or RN before graduating and taking the NCLEX except for a mug my husband bought for me for Mother's Day (it's my profile pic). I only...

    First day: MONDAY!!

    BloomNurseRN replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    I dressed conservatively but not dressy. In my program people wore anywhere from pajamas to business casual. I tended to go toward the end of business casual but certainly was casual too. Just...

    75 Questions and "Results on Hold" from Pearson Vue

    BloomNurseRN replied to ksenakim's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Results on hold can happen for many reasons. If there was an odd pattern to your question answering, if you wrote on the whiteboard before the test started, or maybe because you finished so quickly....

    It definitely varies by state. Here in Indiana most people are seeing their licenses about 24-48 hours after the

    BloomNurseRN replied to philliesfinest's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's usually pretty safe to do "state license search" on Google. I know I do "Indiana license search" and it gives the site to search for all licenses in Indiana. Obviously every state is different...

    Fastest time to receive license!

    BloomNurseRN replied to LifesAJourney's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Most people I know are waiting 24-48 hours. That seems to be pretty average. Congrats to you

    Failed NCLEX 1st attempt in 75 questions

    BloomNurseRN replied to lash84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm so sorry. Keep your head up! You are not alone and you will get past this. Can you give a little bit of info as to how you prepared for the NCLEX? That way we can go from there as to advice...

    NCBSN vs ATI

    BloomNurseRN replied to sm0205's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Kaplan and ATI to prepare for the NCLEX. I didn't do all of the tutorials or use all of the Virtual ATI but we had a live review and I did all of the Live Review tests. I felt like going...

    Just took NCLEX, millions of select all that apply

    BloomNurseRN replied to gospa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had a very high number of SATA questions also. It was HORRIFYING! They were the bane of my existence in nursing school. I would have one after another after another. I stopped counting but know...

    Did having good Kaplan QTrainer scores lead to a pass?

    BloomNurseRN replied to itsbekah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you're really close to where Kaplan wants you to be. My instructor told us to shoot for 65% or greater on QT 1-3 and 60% or greater on QT 4-7. Of course I've heard a few variations on that...

    ADN Graduate with questions

    BloomNurseRN replied to Renae101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I honestly don't have a clue. I do know many states do require graduate nurses who take an extended time to sit for or pass the NCLEX to do a refresher course. I can't imagine why you would have to...

    Failed nclex, devastated but determined to pass next time.

    BloomNurseRN replied to sm0205's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not in Mass but I believe most states make you pay again to re-register for eligibility. I don't agree with it but that seems to be the case from what I've read on here. Good luck and I'm sure...

    I'm very sorry it didn't work out for you the first time. I know that's discouraging but you can do it! How were your Kaplan scores going in to the test? I would definitely watch for your results...

    BloomNurseRN replied to Riss2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are many reasons a result can be on hold (need to review video, odd question answering pattern, etc) but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I've ready multiple posts on here of people whose...

    BloomNurseRN replied to Carrie051890's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Actually I consider it to be very close to "evidence based practice". There is EXCELLENT evidence that those receiving the "good pop up" pass the test. There is also EXCELLENT evidence that those...

    Preparing for NCLEX as a NEW nursing student

    BloomNurseRN replied to danik's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    On SATA... How many is usually right and wrong?

    BloomNurseRN replied to 2bNdNurse84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan and my instructors told us that with the updates April 1st there is no longer a guarantee that it won't be all and it won't be one. Also, there can now be 6 options. That's just what we were...
