Hi, I heard some people talking about these shows and I think they are called Bones. Not really sure though. I heard some people say they have real bones and they talk and it's a really great experience to go to one of these events. I don't know what it is exactly called. I remember one person showing me a big magazine thing they had and it said, "Bones" on the cover of it that she had got at one of these events. I was wanting to know if anyone knows what I am talking about? I wanted to know exactly what I look up to see where they are having these events at. People said it is a really cool thing to go to especially for people in the medical field but overall for anyone. If anyone has any info on what I am talking about, could you please tell me what I would look up to find where they are at. I would really like to go to one of the events. It sounds really interesting.

I agree with turnforthenrseRN and with everyone else. In school especially the instructors are always talking about "loosing your license." So, new nurses including myself get fearful of that, which is good to a certain point but you can't go through nursing scared of that. I have seen that a lot of the nurses that get their licenses revoked are the ones stealing narcotics and just don't have their life on the right track.

Hi again, I read your other posts and seen that you took the ATI. Take your lowest areas from your last ATI test you took or from the last few and remediate from those lowest areas on there and you will do fine. That is exactly what I did and I passed! I took some pratice questions from the CD from the NCLEX book and it showed my lowest areas as well and what I should look over, which I did a little, but for me I found that remediating from the 3 lowest areas on the ATI test I took in my last class where you shows you your percentage of passing the boards helped me the most. Sorry, I wish I would have read your other posts from the beginning. Good luck and with a 99% chance of passing the NCLEX from the ATI test is awesome and you should not have any problems. Also, it is good that you are taking the NCLEX soon out of school.

You will do fine. Did your school participate with anything with the ATI???? I found that to really help me when studying. Also, another thing I did use was the CD that came with the NCLEX book. If you know your low areas, just go back and study a little on each of your low areas. What you learned in school will come back to you. My weakest area was pharmacology, and I reviewed over what I could such as looking at common meds. and knowing sie effects and what maybe you have to watch for as far as labs when on that medication. I struggled with test anxiety too, but I passed. I wrote on my dry erase board that they give you that I need to deep breathe and relax and I will do just fine. So, I would look at that when I needed a reminder or was getting stressed out over a question. You will do fine. Don't try to cram everything in......just go over your weak areas the best you can. if you school participated in the ATIs, it would be good to pull up your tests you took on there and study from the lowest areas. I found that to be more helpful for me. Good luck! Can't wait to hear that you passed. :) Keep confidence in yourself! Think positive too!

Thank you Cyndibelle. I am very excited and happy about passing. Now, I'm just in the job hunting process, which is going pretty good so far......I think. LOL.

By the way......I did do the PVT trick and got the good pop-ups that everyone had talked about and found out I passed, so I am a believer with that. Just thought I would let everyone know. I did see on a website someone said that you must try it after 3 hours after completing the exam. I actually kept doing it throughout the day and into the next day and got the good opo-up every time!

I actaully went to the B.O.N. site on Monday to check my license status, which it had went form "Pending" to "Active" with my nursing license number. Just thought I would update everyone on how that went in case anyone ever ends up with a "pending status" like I did. I'm happy now that I am finally a nurse.:)

Thank you. I took the exam on a Friday and still haven't see any change and it still says, "Pending." I did do the trick several times even including today and it is still giving me the good pop-up. I wishe they would have been able to tell me something on Friday, so I could relax the weekend. I even called for the quick results and it said you must wait 2 business days before you would know your results, so that didn't help either. I might as well wait till Monday. :) Hopefully, I will know, but your message did help ease my mind a little because I keep hearing people talking about a pending status also means you failed.

I had a question...... I just took my NCLEX today and I went to the B.O.N. website and it says under license that it is "pending," so does that mean I passed but they are waiting for my license number???? I did do the pearsonvue trick and didn't get routed to the credit card payment site and from going off of what everyone said I have have gotton the good one. But waiting till I make a decision whether or not I believe that trick works or not. So, I'm still patiently waiting for my results.
