    Male nursing dress code?

    rob4546 replied to Wutermelon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That would have passed our strict dress code, but a little shaggy for me

    I passed!!!!!

    rob4546 replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good for you. You are right about the quick results. They aren't that quick, well unless you live in CA or a state that does not allow quick results. I checked mine at 47 hours 30 minutes, nothing....

    I took the NCLEX today at 8am

    rob4546 replied to Stacey1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Really glad to hear that you are not going to let the PVT ruin or change how your day will end. People don't understand that it is a trick, and no one can use it as an indication of passing. It is...

    Why is this question always asked?

    rob4546 replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Absolutely love this post. I have tried to be more active on the forum since graduation so that I can share my experiences with new student nurses and possibly give them the help I at times needed...

    Male nursing dress code?

    rob4546 replied to Wutermelon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will have to ask the advisors in your program. I don't know which hair style you are describing but does it look professional? If it is off the collar it should be okay. Do you have problems...

    first clinicals choice- peds or med/surg

    rob4546 replied to joeykttn's topic in General Students

    Really, I don't think it matters which you choose first just as long as you get both/all experiences throughout your education. It sounds like this will be your first clinical so there wont be much...

    How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    rob4546 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Went back and read most of this thread and saw you did the PVT and it was good! No you don't have to and you can't call it official but you can let it sink in a little that more than likely you did...

    How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    rob4546 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, I did. My first day as a new nurse starts in 1.5 hours, well after I spend most of the day in HR.

    How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    rob4546 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I walked out I felt real good. I voted awesome because that was the closest to what I felt. I really over prepared because I felt the first half of the test was super easy and the last questions...

    Nursing School Orientation Day

    rob4546 replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students

    I had a similar experience as the previous posters but there was no one there selling stethoscopes or uniforms. This is where you will get all the information on the next few years of nursing school....

    TDAP TITER....HELP!

    rob4546 replied to yasunique's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am kind of surprised that your physician just didn't give you the TDaP instead of ordering a titer. My PCP said "they will charge you 80.00 for a titer or I can give you the vaccine for 0.00...

    rob4546 replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If I remember correctly the diagnostic test is a general test to determine if you have a decent grasp on the content necessary for the Kaplan program. We had to do it before we sat for the...

    rob4546 replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    Positive Experience with Social Networking?

    rob4546 replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    Our class started with a private facebook page and in theory it isn't a bad idea. I thought it would help others and we could exchange information when needed, but after a while it turned into a...

    I feel like I FAILED--BIG

    rob4546 replied to kjrober's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do what you can to relax. The PVT is just that, a trick. It isn't a positive indication or for that matter a negative indication. The good pop up is for sure positive but you wont know till the...

    rob4546 replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
