    Did I fail the NCLEX?

    Did I fail the NCLEX?

    Just a quick fyi: the format of the question has zero to do with the level of the question...IOW, you can have a lot of SATA format questions and fail, and a lot of SATA format questions and pass. If...

    Did I fail the NCLEX?

    You've already answered your own questions.....breathe, relax, and wait :) If this is your first time taking the NCLEX, you can take some relief in knowing that approximately 85% do pass. The fact...

    Nurse Staffing Costs

    I can't be sure what they ACTUALLY did, as I was not high enough up the food chain to be 'in the know'. They usually just TOLD us what they did (whether or not it was done). I frequently worked...

    Nurse Staffing Costs

    I had an employer who dealt with it by continuing to cut staffing to the bone, allowing higher patient to nurse ratios and lowering staff's ability to provide proper care. How did I deal with it? I...

    Just took NCLEX RN, stopped at 265!!

    There's really nothing anyone CAN tell you, except maybe one thing: the first time you took the exam, the computer could determine you were not competent very quickly, in the minimum number of...

    School Nurse?

    As I think you've seen now, it's very competitive. Let's face it: 180 school days a year, bad weather means snow days off, with a very desirable work schedule (winter breaks, spring breaks, summer...

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    Huh? Wow. You seem to think pettiness in picking apart a post regarding semantics is perfectly reasonable; to those of us who have tried over the years to help are perhaps tired of the same people...
  17. Ironically, I had the Wakefield study quoted to me just today. Someone wondering if she got an MMR booster, might she "pass on autism" to her as-yet-unconceived future child?

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    I'm sorry, there's absolutely NO WAY I'm going to sift through what must be several hundred posts and several dozen threads by now on this topic, to find the one that you would like to see as proof....

    I don't know, really.....it's not a 'pull', I'm not "called" to it (lol on that topic!!) but I do enjoy the gathering of the tribe, so to speak. I like having so many people who are all there to...
  22. Most community colleges will not require SATs (forget ACTs); most universities will (SATs, that is). Start local, ask THEM the requirements, and go from there. Good luck!

    Boston children's hospital cicu

    Ummm.....no. And if someone does know, they shouldn't tell you. Thing is, it DOES come across as creepy/stalker-ish. Go through the normal channels for application. Then feel free to contact HR...

    Sharing a Preceptor???

    I don't see a problem at all, UNLESS the assignments are not the right ratio or acuity. If the preceptor is good at what she (he?) does, it can and does work just
