    Has anyone failed the NCLEX with the computer stopping at 75?

    bunnysanford replied to wakeuptoreality's topic in General Students

    Well, apparently you won't find them here. We're not much to look at. I prefer my nurses competent, but that's me.

    Pearson vue trick

    bunnysanford replied to hannenurse2015's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you for sharing. Congratulations on passing; it should still feel great! I'm sorry your results cost you $207.95. I hope more people read this and are spared the same fate. You should have held...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    bunnysanford replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    I almost forgot about my neighbor! When I moved in, she introduced herself as a nurse, but when I mentioned I was finishing up nursing school, corrected herself; she's a

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    bunnysanford replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not quite the same, but my uncle (from a branch of the family that tends to embellish their life stories) found out I was enrolled in nursing school, and told me about how years ago he "had to quit...

    For the record, PA hasn't posted anything to Nursys since 9/23, if that

    Discouraged in PA

    bunnysanford replied to NurseAra's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine took 10 days to post in PA -- I tried Quick Results at 48H, and of course the Pearson site was down and out of service for an hour or so right at that time but I got it eventually. I took my...

    Books are so expensive!!!

    bunnysanford replied to leepatn's topic in General Students

    I was able to get by on previous editions for nearly all of my classes (occasionally renting was even a little cheaper). The school really sold us hard on a bundle of 4 books at the beginning, saying...

    Has anyone failed the NCLEX with the computer stopping at 75?

    bunnysanford replied to wakeuptoreality's topic in General Students

    I passed at 75 questions! When the computer stopped, I felt my heart drop into my stomach. I would have hit the computer if I didn't think it would have put my results on hold. I was certain I had...

    Weirdest/most difficult thing swallowed by a patient

    I don't have any stories (yet), but I've spent many happy hours opening and closing the drawers of the Chevalier Jackson collection of swallowed (and retrieved) objects at the Mütter Museum....

    ADN to MSN...Is It Real???

    bunnysanford replied to MsNita83's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, I actually went to an open house this weekend for the university I'm considering (I graduated in May with an ADN) specifically to get more information. This program seems like a good bet for me;...

    CLINICALS!! What to expect?

    bunnysanford replied to stacylethani's topic in General Students

    My best advice is to be engaged in your learning and as helpful as you can be. Don't ask the staff nurses things that you could easily find out for yourself, or by asking your instructor. There's a...

    A question for the COBs

    bunnysanford replied to smartassmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I love old medical books, too, and equipment. My mom just gave me my great-grandmother's "Text-Book of Nursing Technique" by Irene V. Kelley (1930) which is a very small book that was intended to take...

    Getting that first job

    bunnysanford replied to wiwhitedog's topic in General Nursing

    I just landed my first nursing job almost two weeks ago, after four frustrating months of applying to everything I felt I could even remotely do. I went to my school's career services office with my...

    Did you marry a doctor?

    bunnysanford replied to KayStanley's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm married to a doctor...of English lit. She happens to be a professor at the college I went to, but we met two days before she started working there, and I never took advantage of her position,...

    NCLEX ADVICE

    bunnysanford replied to justkeepswimmingg's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My guess is that it gives the ol' brain a rest, and prevents one from trying to cram every last bit of information in in a huge jumble, and reduces stress as much as can be expected. Since it's mostly...

    NCLEX ADVICE

    bunnysanford replied to justkeepswimmingg's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At this point, just do a LOT of practice questions. Go over the rationales until they make sense. Keep an eye out for any areas you might be especially weak in, and then go over that content in a...

    Diploma/ certificate after NCLEX

    bunnysanford replied to pearl.lee's topic in General Nursing

    PA has a half-sheet paper license that looks just like any other business license that would fit in a small (5x7?) frame. I have it in my job-search portfolio with my extra resumes, just in

    Where's the line for professional and personal info? (Especially regarding being gay)

    bunnysanford replied to SlickSouthpaw's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    On the other hand, the best cure for homophobia is knowing (and liking) a gay person. It might not be too bad to respond truthfully to the questions sometimes, but I know from experience that turns...

    Where's the line for professional and personal info? (Especially regarding being gay)

    bunnysanford replied to SlickSouthpaw's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    With patients, I tend to deflect and make it about them, and that seems to work. The worst I experienced in clinical was a somewhat homophobic joke-y comment from the husband of a very ill patient, as...

    What does your school have you wear to the Pinning Ceremony?

    bunnysanford replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Or, for a little fun, people could wear a set of solid-colored scrubs of their choice (which might be helpful for those who've already landed a job and might have to purchase a certain
