  1. 3 SATA Questions on nclex :(

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to iamanafree's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No number of questions defines if you passed/failed the NCLEX. Everyone's exam is different. I wouldn't focus too much on types of questions you have gotten. Someone may have gotten 30 SATA's with 75...

  2. PVT question

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to king2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sometimes stress gets the best of us and myself and friends tried it (knowing we could risk losing $200). I agree, a false fail would be awful. If I had to do the PVT again I wouldn't, I would just...

  3. PVT question

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to king2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have read a few times about people getting the bad popup and passing. However, I have not heard of anyone getting the good popup and failing. PV changed their site recently. You have to enter valid...

  4. PVT question

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to king2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay, I have never said the PVT was 100% accurate. I would never accept a job offer based on getting the "good popup," either. I was just stating my experience (and many other people's experiences...

  5. PVT question

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to king2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please do! Good luck again!

  6. PVT question

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to king2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am thinking you're right, my mistake. I did not see that the OP was from CA. Best of luck to the OP

  7. PVT question

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to king2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have been reading forums and blogs for many years about the PVT and I have yet to see someone get the "good popup" and end up failing. Yes this is my experience and I am allowed to share that with...

  9. SNHU Online RN to BSN Program

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I heard it is a lot of writing! That's good you transferred in a lot of classes. I have to take the 10 nursing classes and 3 general education classes. I think you will be okay starting out with...

  10. SNHU Online RN to BSN Program

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Erin! That's good to hear you're starting there too. I am taking finite math then in September I am registered for stats and scholarly inquiry

  11. PVT question

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to king2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pearson Vue will have to notify your board of nursing. I tested in MA, I paid for quick results and found out I passed 2 days after NCLEX on the Pearson Vue website. My license was posted on the MA...

  12. Question about NCLEX posts

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was always wondering the same thing. The last thing I was thinking about when taking the NCLEX was the amount of certain types of questions I was getting! For the longest time I thought the NCLEX...

  13. California to Massachusetts new grad

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to Future_Murse8's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am a new RN in MA with an ADN. I work at a hospital as a nursing assistant and they did not hire me as a nurse (I work in the PACU and they do not hire new grads, ADN or BSN). However, I got hired...

  14. PVT question

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to king2020's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It was accurate for my friends and I. I honestly have never heard of someone getting the good popup and finding out they failed. Good

  15. Anyone Only Use Kaplan Qbank and LaCharity PDA and Pass NCLEX??

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to shelby929's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes I only did the questions. To be honest, I didn't focus much on pharm. I focused a lot of just knowing the drug classes and different endings. There were meds I have never heard of on the NCLEX but...

  16. Anyone Only Use Kaplan Qbank and LaCharity PDA and Pass NCLEX??

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to shelby929's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those two were the only study materials I used after graduating. In school we used ATI and had a 3 day ATI review as well. I passed the first

  17. Tips for a new grad on short term rehab unit

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in Rehabilitation

    Thank you! I am going to make my own report sheets if the ones provided aren't as detailed. I will definitely be asking tons of questions. Thanks

  18. Tips for a new grad on short term rehab unit

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in Rehabilitation

    Thanks for the advice! I will be working in a SNF. I definitely have to work on not talking too much, I always feel bad to leave the patient/family mid conversation. I am glad you mentioned the common...

  19. Getting used to 12 hour shifts?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to champagneferret's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My maternity rotation was 12 hours. Pack snacks, meals, and drink lots of water. Get enough sleep the night before. If it helps, it made it easier for me to go because I knew my clinical was only one...

  20. Best nursing youtube channels?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to nursedorkface's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I like HeyRona, Michael Linares, and Nurse

  21. Nursing School

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to eris08's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It is a good idea to know the classes of medications. You'll start noticing the endings (lol, pril, pam, etc.) and even if you don't know the med, you will know the class. You will learn MANY meds in...

  22. Test day ritual?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    This sounds so weird but before nursing tests I always got a ham, egg, and cheese on a bagel from Dunkin Donuts with an apple juice and wore my favorite necklace. The one time I didn't, I didn't do...

  23. 12 patient assignment

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to brekaybrax's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It sounds like a lot now but it is very doable. I was overwhelmed when I got my first CNA job while in nursing school. I had 8-9 patients on a good day and 12-14 on days we were short (they were full...

  24. What Are The Differences Between CNA/PCT? Different PCT Certification?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to mirandaaa's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Patient care tech doesn't have to be licensed. A CNA has to be licensed/have certification. I work in the hospital and they do not make the nursing assistants have licenses. At the nursing home I...

  25. How did you get your first pct position?

    AlwaysLearning247 replied to jessicamillan12's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I was in nursing school and after the first nursing class I was able to "challenge" the CNA license test. Once I got my license I worked in a nursing home for a year then got hired in the recovery...
