  1. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    WheatGerm replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    I agree, only hesitation is that the facility might have her name flagged depending on how serious her offense was. I know my school had a rule that if you were employed by a facility you weren't...

  2. Low scores on Uworld the first time.

    WheatGerm replied to SafeRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you feel like you remembered the questions, or that you were doing a better job learning how to do the SATA? I think the most important part is understanding how to answer the questions, not the...

  3. Multicare RN Residency beginning 8/22/16- Anyone joining this cohort?

    WheatGerm replied to danicaone_101's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey Grace, I just got my letter a couple of days ago, so hopefully you will get yours

  4. I thought I failed...

    WheatGerm replied to WheatGerm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think I was in a really small test area or something, there were maybe 5 people? And probably about 15 computers so I feel lucky I didn't have to deal with people coming in and out, although I was...

  5. I thought I failed...

    WheatGerm posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So I told myself since I've been reading literally every NCLEX post on here listening to people freak out and reassure each other that I would post my experience to maybe help someone else out. I...

  6. Should I Buy The ATI TEAS Practice Test/ Study Guide?

    WheatGerm replied to PrincessNur's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I got the practice test, I think it was harder than the actual test but put me at ease as to what I needed to

  7. Was given a raise not to quit - now I have a target on my back

    WheatGerm replied to Nursemiriben's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I'd go so far as EXTORT. That seems a bit extreme. If you come up with an offer and it is ridiculous to the company, no matter how desperate they are, they will reject it and hire...

  8. i dont know if i passed

    WheatGerm replied to Kriston0's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Try looking up your license on your BON. I decided against doing the PVT because I would have hated to have it be wrong or scare me into thinking I failed when I

  9. My sister & I wrote the NCLEX-RN exam at the same time, she did 75 Q's & I did 265 Q's...

    WheatGerm replied to helbellsRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats to both of you, a great lesson for everyone who feels horrible just due to the amount of questions they

  10. Failed NCLEX at 133 questions.. First attempt

    WheatGerm replied to Jenn0986's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Definitely UWorld. And yes, I think it is a bad idea to start freaking yourself out about how many SATA questions you get. I personally got about 50% SATA and passed, but also have friends who got...

  11. NCLEX

    WheatGerm replied to bp1008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats!!!

  12. Meals on demand

    WheatGerm replied to tiktokrn's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Not that I've had experience as an RN yet, but as a student who was also working things were definitely a challenge but I forced myself to prioritize food for my husband an I (who was in medical...

  13. Low score on ATI predictor

    WheatGerm replied to NervousNelly64's topic in General Students

    I honestly don't put much stock into the predictors. I took one from NCSBN and didn't do so hot myself, but after taking the NCLEX I see that the questions weren't similar at all. Remember that it's...

  14. How much do you make with a BSN?

    WheatGerm replied to Eeramsey's topic in General Nursing

    In our system, your pay is based strictly on years worked. You can get additional pay if you received specialty

  15. What was your first day like at clinical site?

    WheatGerm replied to xdrowe's topic in General Students

    I was certainly nervous, as I had never worked in a hospital before so I had no idea what was going on. Luckily, they expect that you know nothing going in so there should be an orientation. Really...

  16. Receive 2 F's before. Any Advice for this Vet?

    WheatGerm replied to Rice_in_Space's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Did you follow this policy? Determining the cost, if any, for dropping course will vary based on the following situations: [*=left]Dropping due to a change in orders or deployment [*=left]Dropping a...

  17. Skilled Nursing & Rehab facility good career choice?

    WheatGerm replied to NursingNichole's topic in Rehabilitation

    I guess maybe just brush up your resume/cover letter if you aren't getting the results you want. At the end of the day, there are only so many jobs to be filled. I know some students who did great...

  18. took nclex.. tried trick within 1 hour of test.. took my money.. is that a definite fail?

    WheatGerm replied to heartbroken43's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NYS Professions - Online Verifications You should be able to enter your name there to see if you have an active license. Not all nursing boards are as quick as others though, keep that in mind that...

  19. Resume and Cover Letter Help Please

    WheatGerm replied to holly234's topic in General Nursing

    I think it might help if you Google some nursing resumes/cover letters online. Obviously don't copy them verbatim, but it might give you some inspiration. Maybe something like this might help? Johns...

  20. Oncology and Psychiatry Rotation

    WheatGerm replied to JayPerez930's topic in General Students

    Didn't do any onc, but psych was...interesting to say the least. Definitely cemented that psych nursing was not for me and certainly appreciate those who specialize in it! We were in a facility that...

  21. Skilled Nursing & Rehab facility good career choice?

    WheatGerm replied to NursingNichole's topic in Rehabilitation

    Now take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I don't have much experience in this field, just what instructors/other nurses have told me. First, do you think you'd be okay as a charge nurse? Not...

  22. Nclex in 2 weeks... feeling defeated:(

    WheatGerm replied to nurseinthemakin01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First, I would recommend only doing about 20 questions per quiz. I tried doing 75 and it was just too much and I would lose focus part way through. My nursing school said we should just do 265...

  23. took nclex.. tried trick within 1 hour of test.. took my money.. is that a definite fail?

    WheatGerm replied to heartbroken43's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt pretty awful too, and I passed. Didn't try the PVT trick though, wasn't sure about the results and wasn't prepared to lose $200 and feel like I failed for nothing. You can check your BON to...

  24. NCLEX Help

    WheatGerm replied to pryor92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know Kaplan has a review, but it is pretty pricey. I got a review book from Kaplan that had a DVD and online access to a few videos and practice questions and also discussed test taking...

  25. I thought I failed...

    WheatGerm replied to WheatGerm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree NurseGirl525, I think it is certainly just NCLEX style questions that are important. It is such a strange test to describe! I just thought uworld really helped with my ability to do the...
