I almost want to say that $21.85/hr rate is across the board for all of the RN residency positions.... Unless someone who has an offer for anything else?

I can't believe it... I've been offered a spot in the Adult Acute Medicine track! I hope to see you all soon for this exciting new part of our lives!!

I got a confirmation for my interview date/time for the Adult Acute Medicine track! 2 questions: 1. Will any of you fellow Vandy candidates be in town 10/20-22? I'd love to make some new friends! :) 2. California has New Grad RN groups on Facebook where we post questions, job postings, etc. does Tennessee have one as well? (If there is, I can't seem to find it...) Thanks! Looking forward to meeting some of you out there!

Hi everyone! I got an interview for the Adult Acute Medicine track! Super stoked!

Yes on the format types priority, delegation, SATA, exhibit, multiple choice. I definitely saw those in varying numbers... But I felt like there were definitely enough of what I've been trained to view as "above the line" questions. I didn't count specifics but the MC questions I did have seemed similar to how Kaplan gave us questions when it came to difficulty and the ways to work out the question. (I hope this clarifies what I've been trying to say.... haha.) I feel like I'm being confusing! Sorry about that! Here's what I did: I got home, around 40min after I completed the survey at the end, and hopped on the computer. Since I couldn't initially find any history of my taking the test... no "reschedule" or "re-anything" options, I hit the "start registration process" and went all the way through... since I was jittery/nervous/not 100% there from all the stress, I almost did it automatically. -I did do the page with the "have you taken the NCLEX before?" and identifying the nursing school I attended. -I entered credit card & billing info, and submitted the order until I got to the receipt page. -Only red-text notification I got was the reminder that the order won't go through until I go through the very end. I went past that page and went all the way through. At least I don't recall seeing a button for a further step. I'm hesitant to do it all the way again with a different card... It would seriously suck if I get charged $200 x 2 trying the trick... T_T On the credit card website, the payment isn't finalized... but it shows up that the card has been put through the process (it's "pending", along with a charge at a grocery store a few days ago. haha). Additionally, in my email, Pearson Vue did send me a NCLEX Receipt and an automated "registration acknowledgement" email, for a total of 2 emails as a result of this process. Not to be cocky or to try to deny the situation here, but I personally feel like there were enough "above the line" questions for a passing exam... but the fact that I'm not getting the same "pop up" and getting charged compared to everyone passing (with the pop-up) is making me anxious. I'm hoping that I'm doing something wrong here. Did I do anything wrong from what you can tell??

Thanks for your response! Whoops... I guess I needed to do more research... What I meant by the Kaplan-style questions is that I had a lot of questions with what I've been told is considered to be "above the line" formats. (I've also been told that Kaplan only presents to you "passing" level questions??) I heard if it's "below-the-line", it's a lot of "define this" or basic A&P content-based questions. Am I still mistaken? I've done extensive Kaplan studying... I did over 80% of their qbank, all 7 trainers, and the sample tests with decent scores/averages... I'm hoping that the prep that I've done was adequate. I hope those pass rates are in my favor. And for being charged... I guess I misunderstood the process for the "trick"... I thought that you had to submit the order to find out about the "good pop-up"... I guess I can only keep my fingers crossed about that... And I guess I needed to do more research, because I didn't know about that 24hr rule! Ruh roh. I really, really hope that I'm on the passing side of that fence! I hope it's just because of that 24hr second-time-review thing. Thanks again for the input! I'm glad to know my exam status won't change- you've definitely saved me the time & energy from checking for that to change! :)

Hey everyone, I've been a silent member lurking around the forums for a while now... thanks for all of the good info through nursing school! I just took the NCLEX this morning in the Bay Area (California), and afterwards I was antsy to know my results and tried to sign up again to see if I would get the good pop-up. Could anyone tell me what my chances are?: Test shut off after 75q.(I feel there was a good amount of passing-level questions. Format-wise, a lot of it looked similiar to Kaplan's.) My exam status is currently "Result not available" (I'm assuming that I was too hasty in trying to check for the pop-up...) Did not get a "good" pop-up when I tried to re-register. It charged my credit card, the charge is pending. (Even though I put the wrong exp date.) Do I still have a chance of passing? If I (miraculously) did pass, will the pending $200 go through?? Thanks, everyone. I'd appreciate any input!!

Grats, you two!! :) I don't think there's a group for the Fall '13 group either... Also, does anyone know if we are going to need things like CPR for healthcare professionals? Other things that need to be taken care of before school starts? I'm not sure if I'll have enough time to get everything set up & taken care of between the time we get the packet, and the time I leave the US. :/ Also, if anyone going to orientation this July for fall '13 wants to help me.... Please message me if you want to be my lifesaver cuz I'll be out of the country for it.... Thanks!!

Oh okay! Yeah, I figured we couldn't sign up... And I figured they wouldn't get around to swapping me over in time. So I guess I don't register for anything cuz everything except for major Upper division requirements is done! I feel so strange not going crazy over registration!!! Thanks for checking, Lakerfan!

So I was wondering, how are the people starting in Fall supposed to sign up for classes during Early Priority Registration? Would we be cleared on MySFSU to sign up for our classes?

I got in for FALL!!!!! Congrats to everyone else who got in, and I look forward to meeting you all!!! For those who got in, I hope you don't give up. My grades aren't stellar, and I was close to given up after getting no's from CSUCI & CSULA. BUT OHMYGOODNESS HYPERVENTILATION.

In the case that the first week of May claim is true, what would we do about May 1st intent to enroll due date at other institutions?? I sure hope we do get our responses this week! :/ Good luck to everyone! May the force be with you!

Hi, everyone! Congrats to the people who've gotten in to CSULA & other institutions! I'm wondering if there's anyone out there in a similar position as a friend and I are... If I get into CSULA, I would be transferring from SFSU. I applied for the Basic Program, and I haven't received an acceptance, waitlist, OR rejection email or phone call or letter.... All I know is that my application to CSULA the school (not nursing) isn't finalized (according to admissions)... So I still don't know if I'll be accepted as a nursing major OR my secondary major... If anyone can help or have any advice, let me know! Thanks :)

scwolf, Really?? I don't know... I sure hope it's good enough. I'm a little bit nervous with the 4.0gpa's going on up there... and of course, there's the people who don't know about this thread... Thanks, though! :) Fingers crossed!! I ended up applying to CSULA (sister goes there & father's nearby) & CSUCI (less likely after i went to the info session) as backup... SFSU's my first choice, since I'm already here anyways. >

Hi, guys! I'm a student at SFSU, and I'm putting the finishing touches to my CSULA app for the generic program. :) I took the TEAS V at LA in September, so I figure I might as well apply since they already have my scores!!
