    NCLEX PN JULY 16 2015 pending result

    Are you in a State that does not participate in the Quick Results program (you cannot pay $8 for results)? While it is most certainly true that the PVT is a guessing game, not an accurate assessment...
  2. Interesting question, and one I think might very well vary considerably from State to State. If I were you, I'd be calling my Board of Nursing to find out what your State's Nurse Practice Act allows....

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    Jahi has a six-year-old sister who has made it clear she hates living in New Jersey, wants to return to her home in California, and presumably has a cot or other set-up in either her mother's bedroom...

    Pearson trick

    Nearly a year ago Pearson Vue updated its registration software and the new program required the entering of credit card information prior to being able to schedule an exam. PV didn't suddenly "wise...

    Failed NCLEX - need advice

    You cannot schedule an exam with Pearson Vue until you have an ATT (authorization to test) number. You cannot get that number until you reapply for permission to take the test. So.....back to the...
  6. Balzac, you bring up a good point about the problem with not having national licensure, that is individual States each have an individual Board of Nursing that sets the standards for practice in that...
  7. Sheila, why do you have the credential/designation "NP" on your Username? Your education is for a practical nurse.....but are not yet licensed as one.......so you certainly cannot be a nurse...

    Took the NCLEX-RN yesterday

    Hey, guys? The number of questions you got isn't weird, it is the number by which the computer could determine to a 95% confidence interval that you were either competent or incompetent. Nothing...
  9. Ky, I think it's worth noting that "clarifying" differences between a CNA, PCT and PCA is rather futile. After all, it is up to every facility that uses nurse assistants as to what they are literally...

    Nclex-Pn Results

    You are posting on a four-year-old thread......with the most recent post being 3 years after the previous one........and your update is actually OLD news by a year now But here IS an update for you...

    Taking NCLEX tomorrow

    Most of the time people are pretty sure that they are not ready to test, regardless of how prepared they are. From what you described, you're as ready as you're ever going to be! Finish up whatever...

    Starting in a Hospital and Backup Plans

    Working as a substitute will do absolutely nothing to improve your job prospects in nursing. If you want to be a sub....be a sub. Won't do anything for your nursing resume. Of course you don't HAVE...

    Shut off at 83 questions

    Extremely subjective. People have reported passing with 75 questions and assuming they failed because the test was just too easy. Clearly, it was above the passing standard whether they thought it...

    I Failed the NCLEX-RN and I need some advice

    OP, you said you took the exam yesterday.....how do you know with certainty that you failed? Evidence of passing can be found on BoN websites as early as one day later, but if you failed.....how do...

    Shut off at 232

    Just an FYI: if your testing center lost power (even for a moment) it will trigger an incident report (NOTHING to do with you, EVERYTHING to do with the fact that there was a power outage). This will...

    Asking an honest question?

    While I think you're right, and gearing the topics toward how spirituality affects nursing is the intent, I also think that the traffic on this board would grind to a halt if it were to be kept too...
  17. I just had to look up the stats for myself, after seeing several (differing) posts from various people stating what the pass rate is for first-time test takers! Can get quite confusing, and it's a...

    NCLEX Anxiety

    You're doing fine. One of the things to know about the NCLEX is that you will be getting questions that the computer guesses you have a 50% chance of answering correctly. It's the level of...

    265 questions! last question was MATH

    Oh, this wasn't meant to say that you WERE doing it repeatedly....it was more of a caution to NOT keep doing it. Many times people post that they did the PVT and they keep doing it over and over (and...

    Random Valuable NCLEX Facts :)

    Considering the number of posts that begin "I'm freaking out...!!!!!" I think I'll bump this. People, don't freak out. It doesn't look good on you and frankly it's never once helped anyone...ever. You...
  21. Well, you cannot approach it the same way and expect different results. The first two times I am guessing you studied on your own? If so, how about a tutor for this

    High School Pre-Nursing

    First, congratulations to you on planning ahead and preparing for your future! If only more would do this. I just wanted to address the part of your post I quoted, and specifically the bolded part:...
  23. California BoN is notoriously slow: it does take weeks, anywhere from 3-6, to get official results from them. OP, your classmates could NOT have gotten response from the CA BoN in 48 hours; it is...

    Quit during orientation

    Good question. If enough irritated co-workers were, in fact, rendered "fatal" due to his actions, then I imagine it'd be unsafe for him because of the expectation of possible incarceration. If,...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    If you don't mind, I'd actually like that. Particularly about how the Holy Spirit is a different force than G'd. Thanks
