  1. Do nurses usually work 3 12-hour shifts a week for full pay?

    pknurse replied to gentlerain's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this! You have no idea how many of my peers say, "It's a waste of money - the hospital will pay for it." To be honest, I almost fell into that mindset before a few nurses from Kaiser...

  2. Passed my NCLEX with 75 questions on first try: My Advice and Thoughts.

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

    I agree about the Kaplan Strategies book. If you are strapped on cash, you can forgo the Class on Demand or Live class. Kaplan's NCLEX class itself is about Decision Tree (their NCLEX strategy for...

  3. Passed my NCLEX with 75 questions on first try: My Advice and Thoughts.

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

    From a logistical stand point, it makes perfect sense to take your time with the first 10 questions. (I was told 10, so let's go with ten, eh?) The new standard set by the NCSBN states that the first...

  4. West Coast University Advice

    pknurse replied to NurseDakotaBee2b's topic in School, College Programs

    During your final semester at WCU, alumni come in and talk to you about their experiences getting jobs. This is unprecedented and really helps WCU students/soon-to-be graduates feel confident about...

  5. What level are Kaplan Qbank questions?

    pknurse replied to Soliloquy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    All Kaplan questions in the QBank are passing level questions (which are the ones you want to be hitting). In my opinion, the questions are written in the same style; the interface even looks the...

  6. NCLEX-RN Review Materials

    pknurse replied to chassi3lynn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I see many people here suggesting "the La Charity book" (also known as Priority, Delegation, Assignment). It's an excellent book and I talk about it extensively in my post...

  7. Passed my NCLEX with 75 questions on first try: My Advice and Thoughts.

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

    I also want to add an addendum about questions: Different people will have various opinions about it, but let me argue this - Stick to a few sources for questions. If you pull from too many sources,...

  8. Passed in 75, Not many SATA Q's

    pknurse replied to wiscoRNellie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I only had 5 SATA and passed at 75. My friend claims to have had 20. And please, can we debunk this myth once and for all? Having SATA questions does not mean you are above passing level as SATA...

  9. There Are Places Where the Nursing Shortage Is Still Real... Let's List Some to Help!

    pknurse replied to WideOpenHeart's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, don't worry: My cousin let me know how it was. She graduated in 2004-2005. Interviews then were general, meaning, they asked you during the interview what department you wanted to work in. You...

  10. There Are Places Where the Nursing Shortage Is Still Real... Let's List Some to Help!

    pknurse replied to WideOpenHeart's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Are you guys pointing out places with shortages or openings? These are two different

  11. Passed my NCLEX with 75 questions on first try: My Advice and Thoughts.

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

    Everything before the case studies in PDA is absolute gold. Like I said, whereas I really enjoy their, "Which patient would you see first?" questions, I massively disagree with their "sequencing"...

  12. Passed my NCLEX with 75 questions on first try: My Advice and Thoughts.

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

    I agree. Don't go in ready to pass at 75 questions - go in ready to pass, period. I've read on here numerous times that people get irritated after question 75, annoyed at 150, and freak out at

  13. Passed my NCLEX with 75 questions on first try: My Advice and Thoughts.

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

    For me, I used that second day to test day to do a bunch of SATA questions, review my flashcards (problem concepts), and look over pertinent labs. I did not study theday before the exam. My Kaplan...

  14. How long to get NCLEX results!!

    pknurse replied to exhaustedstudent's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I read your other thread; I know you are anxious. Was your file

  15. Passed my NCLEX with 75 questions on first try: My Advice and Thoughts.

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

    The Pearson Vue Trick is confirmed. It never produces false-positives: If you cannot re-register (the "good pop-up") you have passed the test. And from a logistics stand-point, it makes perfect sense....

  16. On SATA... How many is usually right and wrong?

    pknurse replied to 2bNdNurse84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe by "good sign" you mean "higher level questions?" SATA equating to being above passing level is actually a myth: Source: NCLEX® Myths from Across the Country… Part 1 | Kaplan's...

  17. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    pknurse replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It can take anywhere from a couple days to a few weeks. If you are super worried, call the Board and ask, "Is my file complete?" Why? In California, you can sit for your boards (Eligibility Letter +...

  18. pearsonvue trick...not real?

    pknurse replied to sweet1018's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pearson Vue Trick has three results: "good pop-up," "results on hold," and credit card page. "Good pop-up" always means you pass. I have yet to read of a false-positive. "Results on hold" can go...

  19. NCLEX 265 questions

    pknurse replied to chassi3lynn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can't speak from experience, but one of my classmates (first in my class to get his license mind you) passed at 265 questions with less than thirty minutes left on the clock. It's

  20. Nclex in 4 days...Nclex Vets, best use of my time left??

    pknurse replied to Lane007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know you want to "pass in 75 questions" (everyone does), but the only reason you should not make that your whole end game is that you don't want to have your expectations crushed if you have to do...

  21. CA NCLEX RN results

    pknurse replied to Noboundary's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took it June 25. Issued June 26, but didn't see it until 1:30 AM on June

  22. Preparing for nclex-RN

    pknurse replied to Nepalnurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe NCLEX requires a two prong attack: Content and Questions. Saunders is good for content, but don't dwell on it for too long because questions are key. Passing level questions on the exam are...

  23. Preparing for NCLEX as a NEW nursing student

    pknurse replied to danik's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I say Saunders because it is a relatively cheap book that has the content spelled out in an easy to understand manner. I really don't believe you should start looking at NCLEX-type questions until...

  24. Eligible to take NCLEX without official transcipt

    pknurse replied to jenifahojenny's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In California, you can sit for your boards without your official transcript as long as your school sends a roster indicating you graduated (or will graduate). This is why on AllNurses.Com you will...

    Never a false-positive, but definitely false-negatives do
