    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Three times is different than 9. Nine times in multiple years. If the OP is spending all sorts of money on remedial courses, study guides & repayment to take the NCLEX maybe the OP can send some...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you & anyone else cannot pass the NCLEX in a minimum of 3 tries, I don't want you to take care of my family, friends or me! Just because we are honest & don't like treating everyone with...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you need to look up the definition of false hope because that is what you are giving the OP. Statistically speaking the chances of the OP passing the NCLEX are slim to none. Because statistics...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am not the only one telling the OP to reconsider. Go back & reread the WHOLE post. Nine times doesn't seem a lot it IS a lot. I'm not a "Debbie Downer", I'm realistic & a nurse who has been...

    Which is a better way to prepare for Nursing School?

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

    Have you already been accepted into a nursing program? If so I would go with option 1 & become a CNA instead of a psych tech. Psych is great but you won't see as much as if you become a CNA in a...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you haven't even started nursing school how can you tell the OP "not to give up"? Would you want someone that took years to pass the competency exam to become a nurse taking care of your family,...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly, it hurts the OP more telling her she will pass after 9 attempts over the span of several years. You are giving the OP false hope, which is not good. As a nurse you should know this. Would...

    CNA to BSN programs??

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

    I don't even understand how a CNA to BSN bridge would work. There is nothing to bridge from. If you want to be a nurse you're going to have to put in the time, effort &

    Would it kill you to say thank you?

    OrganizedChaos replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    My two year old can say (& knows when to say) please, thank you, bless you & you're welcome. If he can do it, why can't

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone deals with -ish in their lives & manage to get through school/work/etc. The OP needs to check within herself if nursing is really the right path for her. It's not that she has attempted...

    I am not proud of my track record.

    OrganizedChaos replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing is overnight. It took this long for the BON to contact her. Maybe the CMS hasn't been notified yet or they are processing everything. As far as her punishment goes, it depends on how the...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My ex-best friend had a hard time finding an RN position after she took a year off to have elective surgery even though she passed the NCLEX on her first try. The only way she got a job is because she...

    Male nurses- I need your help

    OrganizedChaos replied to TaylsRN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Why just for men? Not that there aren't male nurses out there but if you really want to start this business it would probably be in your best interest to include everyone. Especially since female...

    Nursing school and newborn?

    OrganizedChaos replied to brookegillen's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to add that even if I wanted to go back to school now I can't because I generally don't sleep well & even well into my second trimester I still get horribly sick. Also I don't have any...

    I am not proud of my track record.

    OrganizedChaos replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Getting charged criminally vs. losing her license are two different things here. The BON might take away her license but the CMS might prosecute

    The Dreaded Social Media

    OrganizedChaos replied to Lorelions's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nothing on the Internet is private. Even if you send a picture of yourself to a "friend" that friend could text blast a bunch of people that picture & boom. That picture is really out there. It's...

    I am not proud of my track record.

    OrganizedChaos replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    The OP is doing an RN to LVN bridge program, which means most likely that she would receive an associate's degree & would not be able to teach, at any level. It doesn't matter if she has 1 day...

    Nursing school and newborn?

    OrganizedChaos replied to brookegillen's topic in General Nursing

    I just realized my error in the previous post. I meant I wanted to become an RN after I became an LVN.

    Which plan of study would you choose?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go with option 1. I hate taking 2 sciences together. It's easier - to me - to take a science class over the summer semester than take two at the same time during a regular

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

    I don't know what to tell you. You make posts about how you don't have good grades & nursing programs are notoriously competitive. If you don't have the highest grades and/or high entrance test...

    You will be hard pressed to find someone on here who will disclose that kind of information. If you want/need it, once again, interview a nurse in person. I don't think your professor would be to...
