    I cannot ever seem to pass my NCLEX!!! No matter what I do and how hard I try!!

    OrganizedChaos replied to jjgrlh0318's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As nurses we usually make terrible patients. It does sound like there is more than just a psych issue at play. I would take time to myself & get all the health issues figured out. If...

    Fake crying and bad acting in the ER

    Fake crying and bad acting in the ER

    OrganizedChaos replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I had a similar experience in the ED. I went there early in my pregnancy because I was SOB for a couple of hours. So I finally get into triage & the nurse just acts like I'm there for meds or...

    OrganizedChaos replied to jjgrlh0318's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So then I guess all the states are wrong who limit the number of times one can take the NCLEX. I'm already a nurse, so does it matter RN or LVN? I passed the boards once & will do it again. I've...

    I wasn't insulting you (nor have I ever in this post), but if the shoe fits. If you read back there were other posters who felt the same. Once again, please seek help. If anonymous comments over the...

    There's a big difference between taking it twice versus seven times. That's why a lot of states put a limit on how many times one can

    I hope you can get all mental health issues under control before you start working. Because people here are rude & the hospitals only care about satisfaction scores. I would talk to a therapist...

    It wasn't a personal conversation that I interjected to, if you wanted it to be between only you & another person you should PM them. You should not have made you dilemma public if you were not...

    You came on a public NURSING forum & discussed how you failed the NCLEX for the seventh time. Did you expect us to coddle you? You don't know any of us or what we've had to deal with either. By...

    To each their own. Yes there are people who pass the NCLEX the first time & aren't great nurses (the stealing narcs have nothing to do with the subject) but at least they grasp the material. The...

    OrganizedChaos replied to jjgrlh0318's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think so. The OP needs a reality check, like someone already stated. Seven times is more than enough to get the hang of the test & pass it. But I guess if the OP has the money to throw...

    OrganizedChaos replied to jjgrlh0318's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well apparently here in Texas you have 4 years & unlimited attempts to take the NCLEX. There is no remediation. That is quite scary. There should be a cut off at the number of times &...

    Would YOU want someone who can't pass the NCLEX after 3 tries to be your nurse? I wouldn't. How will they act when/if they get a job & have all that stress. Unless that person works PDN, they will...

    I don't know all the rules in my state but I applied for a school nurse position before (I'm an LVN) & no mention of credentials, BSN or anything else.

    It depends on the state BON. I think here in Texas you can take it multiple times. I don't know, I only took mine twice. I would definitely seek professional help. You were able to pass your pre...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Mrsdaniels01's topic in Excelsior College

    I've read some posts where it was a struggle to get BON backing even if it is accepted in that state due to the lack of clinical. It might not be as difficult to get a job after the NCLEX since an RN...

    OrganizedChaos replied to TheYetzter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never took the PAX but they are two different tests so I would get the study guides to both tests. I foolishly studied for the TEAS with the HESI book. Honestly the only part I did poorly on, on the...

    I never had to report that job for taxes; I wasn't there very long. On top of that it never hindered me from getting a job either, I guess not that many employers run background checks or care. Lol....
