    Nclex-RN shut down at 85

    I'm taking a guess that you know very little about the NCLEX...? The minimum number of questions on the RN exam is 75, the minimum number for the PN is 85. Maximum is 265 (RN, anyway, not certain of...

    NCLEX-RN result Help pls!

    Ok, I'm going to share this just once, because I see myself in you. When I finished my test, I stumbled out to my car (I say stumbled because I have no recollection of actually walking there, but I...

    Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    I would have warned him of the dangers of smoking in his room, for safety's sake. And then left him in peace. AND hoped to all that is holy that this poor man WAS enjoying whatever drugs he was...

    Bye bye pre nursing

    congratulations, indeed! It's quite competitive out there; admission is success in itself :) Read through threads, learn from others' mistakes, that's probably the best "first advice" I can give....

    NCLEX-RN result Help pls!

    Ha! Congratulations :) Sitting here smiling at the picture of you sitting in front of your computer, seeing your full name and a fresh new license number on the BON site, and STILL thinking you might...

    Lifting patients

    Having your own patients does not mean being on your own, sole person on the unit! You will learn in school how to move patients safely, so neither you nor the patient ends up injured. You can be...

    After reading all that without any paragraph breaks, LOL, I'm pleased to offer my congratulations!

    Condidence

    Can't really say if this will make you feel better, but I don't think this is unique to nursing (but we might see it more?). I used to work in the business world, and colleagues could be quite...
  10. Sigh. The point was to get you to be more careful, I KNOW it's "nobody's business", which is why I hoped to get you to see the danger you are putting yourself (and possible future career) in because...

    Transitioning out of Nursing within VA

    There are MANY options for nurses in the VA! Look at job postings; some of them are directed at licensed nurses and some of them are not specifically for nurses but you might well be qualified...

    Finally! I'm an RN! How I passed NCLEX

    Many congratulations, and welcome to the fold!
  14. Unbelievable...JustBeachyNurse warned of the danger of posting private info online, and you post your photo and personal email. So, Gilbert Gonzales of Chicago, who is into some unusual music and...
  15. "I choose NY because of unlimited (testing)". Why this State doesn't stop the foolishness of allowing umpteen NCLEX re-takes is beyond me. There's a reason other States

    NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

    Well, the good piece of news you can conclude from having all 265 questions is that you were at or near the passing standard for the entire time. The computer couldn't determine competency until the...

    need help plzzzzzz

    No one can guess which program is best for you; we don't know you. Take a look at each program online, and see which you think best matches your style of learning/studying. Someone passing with Hurst...

    Took Nclex 6/12

    At that low a number, either the computer determined that you were competent and there was no point in giving you more questions, or incompetent no matter how many questions more it gave you. What do...

    Do power cords for IV pumps bother you?

    My friend is still looking for work

    Seems to me you have already spent more time on this than it was worth. Your friend is a grown woman, who will either do what is in her best interest (she's certainly gotten plenty of advice!) or she...

    Mandatory Overtime

    I've worked where there was mandatory overtime, it really wasn't a very big deal. No one could work more than two 8 hour shifts in a row (so if you were on for a 12, it was only 4 more hours)....

    BS or BSN

    Ah, ok. I remembered the scandal, reputation, etc.....found something that I thought reflected that. But yes, I see it's not for the bridge program. OTOH, if there's something so "off" for this...
  25. Interesting thread! I had a couple of knee-jerk reactions and slapped my own hands before letting them near the keyboard. And then I continued to read, and think about what was being posted, and why...
