    Passing the Nclex with only 75 question

    RNsRWe replied to vicky 970's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Vicky, are you sure you are in a State that participates in Quick Results? If not, Pearson Vue's message will always read "Results Not Available". They mean QR not available. If you ARE in a State...

    New Grad RN Needs Help

    RNsRWe replied to Samt9's topic in General Nursing

    Also kinda depends on where you see yourself later: if you only want to work in a clinic, or LTC facility, then start there and you can be happy if you stay there. Don't want to stay in a clinic?...

    how soon to transfer within VA

    RNsRWe replied to Tammy197378's topic in Government, Military

    It's a weird phenomenon, IMHO, that people will sometimes post on a message board asking for advice and input about a situation......and then slam the person who offered it to them. Sort of like...

    PearsonVue "good pop up" after credit card information entered, didnt let me submit

    RNsRWe replied to RN.BSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    AFTER 24 hours, haven't seen it change to a fail. PRIOR to 24 hours, though....yes indeedy. Which is why those who report 'good pop up an hour after testing' are told to wait and do it again in 24...

    Asking for salary raise.

    RNsRWe replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, and I was going to mention this. For me, personally, I find the "but I have a long drive to work" explanation as a need for a raise, or a reason why someone cannot make it to work in...

    Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    RNsRWe replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of well-thought-out, and very thoughtfully written, posts here. I appreciate all of them; most I agree with *mostly*, as it's a very complex topic! Nothing with this line of thinking is black...

    i need help

    RNsRWe replied to chiel's topic in General Nursing

    You need to apply to the Washington State Board of Nursing; of course Seattle doesn't have it's own BoN so that part doesn't matter Not sure what you mean about "strict".....if you have a specific...

    Failed 3rd semester of BSN school

    RNsRWe replied to iljc's topic in General Nursing

    You have listed only one option: retake the class. So, in asking what you should do......is "retake the class" not a good

    Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    RNsRWe replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    A thought on "gay" and it's use: I once had a conversation with a patient in which I was telling him about an organization in our community that had many members who would be identified as homosexuals...

    nclex :(

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

    I'm sorry for your frustration with the system. It sure isn't perfect, but there has to be some mechanism in place to judge a new grad's ability to safely enter into practice. It cannot determine a...

    Clinicals and stethoscope?

    RNsRWe replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I'm with ya for the most part, except I DON'T recommend buying the most expensive one you can afford, to avoid an 'upgrade' later. Simple reason is that, as I described above, a more expensive one...

    Clinicals and stethoscope?

    RNsRWe replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I honestly haven't looked at Prestige since I bought mine umpteen years back....I'm sure there are more current models available now then when I got mine. But I will say that actually trying it out...

    Pearsonvue trick help!

    RNsRWe replied to jennifer.mason's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No. Quick Results are official test results, provided by Pearson Vue for a fee of $8. People using this option KNOW they are paying $8 for this service. The PVT ('trick') is completely unofficial,...

    Took RN NCLEX this morning, did I get the good pop-up??

    RNsRWe replied to JoeRN2012's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Unfortunately you dug up a very old thread with outdated info, but hopefully I can bring you up to speed: Since you are in a State that does not participate with Pearson Vue's Quick Results program,...

    2014 Pearson Vue Trick (PVT) Poll

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

    Not sure what "list" you are referring to, but the 'how-to's' of the PVT are posted multiple times in multiple places over all over this forum. Many threads on it...including clear details in this...

    Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    RNsRWe replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! To be honest, if I say "he has autism" it kinda sounds like he caught a disease. No....he IS autistic, it's one of the MANY descriptors I use for this child :) Do we say someone 'has...

    Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    RNsRWe replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting how one person's accurate, clinical and appropriate use of a word can upset some, and not others. And replacing the clinical term with an equally appropriate word or phrase (but is more...

    Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    RNsRWe replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    Made me laugh, and I really needed it just then! I was thinking that there's nothing wrong with saying someone's mental growth has been retarded (if, in fact, it has). We refer to retarded growth...

    Clinicals and stethoscope?

    RNsRWe replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    Students aren't going to listen for or learn the most delicate of heart sounds in clinicals. I actually learned them from a CD I popped into my computer! Much more discerning, and easier to learn....

    Need all white shoes for clinicals.. Suggestions??

    RNsRWe replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Students

    LOL, this thread didn't disappoint! "Loved Shoe A", "nope, HATED Shoe A, but Shoe B is awesome!" "nope, hated Shoe B!" Same brand, loved and hated. OP, did you go out and try some on for yourself to...

    Online vs Classroom?

    RNsRWe replied to andiescandies's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found I had to do more work with online courses, in that simply "being in class" has no credit value online :) In order to account for attendance/participation for online courses, it's pretty...

    Pearsonvue trick help!

    RNsRWe replied to jennifer.mason's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This would be the problem. You didn't do the 'trick' correctly so.....it is what it is. You may have just donated whatever was on the card; be happy it wasn't

    Will I be accepted to Nursing school?

    RNsRWe replied to Arsilver13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    [bayliedynell] And this would be why this message board won't be of any use to the OP; just trying to save him/her the trouble of reading through posts that will have no information of any value....
