    NCLEX with 265 questions

    RNsRWe replied to Futurenurse882's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is not whether your last question was above passing standard that determines if you passed or failed. Popular error. The "maximum length rule", as NCSBN (the creators of the NCLEX) explains it...

    RNsRWe replied to Jess_p16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Every NCLEX undergoes a Quality Assurance review at some point during the 24 hours following the exam. Have no idea where anyone would get "five hours" as a marker from, it makes no sense. At any...

    Any thoughts of USA infant mortality rate

    RNsRWe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    "Known forever"? Guess since I have never had anything to do with births outside of my own kids....I'm not one of those "in the know" . It's not an area of nursing I have had any interest in...

    Ca nclex pn july 2015

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

    Multiple attempts to re-register (aka: PVT) increases the likelihood that Pearson Vue WILL charge you (or attempt to charge you). It has no bearing on results. You didn't get charged, and the...

    Payment Declined PVT 2015 nclex-rn

    RNsRWe replied to lab0117's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nope. Every exam undergoes a QA review, true....but it's done within the first 24 hours after test completion, not 48. That part is false Seems you're confusing the game that is known as PVT with...

    RNsRWe replied to saved251's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    It's ok to think someone else is over the top. But hey...if he's thankful, let him be thankful! Where better than this forum to say so? :) My thought is that G-d doesn't allow or disallow anyone to...

    Pursue a certificate and transfer(?) or Prereqs & stay/transfer(?) Essex County College!

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

    First order of business is to stop calling an Associate Degree a "certificate". From there....well......unfortunately it looks like you have been ill-prepared to enroll in a nursing program, unless...

    RNsRWe replied to Jess_p16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Each State's Board of Nursing operates differently, on their own timetables, with their own procedures. For SOME, you can see that they update their websites daily. Others, only once or twice a...

    RNsRWe replied to Jess_p16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Actually, it's a discussion board, a forum for debate....not a support group. Mistake made by many. Regardless, you are missing the point: you cannot declare something invalid because you didn't...

    VA nurses, need your insight!

    RNsRWe replied to chickadee1993's topic in Government, Military

    Psssst....you would NEVER need to retake the NCLEX, regardless of with whom you are employed; the Federal appointment just means you never have to get another State LICENSE

    Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    RNsRWe replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Regarding who should and should not be lumped into the same career category.....nursing assistants/aides are very much a part of the healthcare team, but so are phlebotomists and respiratory...

    Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    RNsRWe replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As a point for discussion: Many facilities use the term PCT interchangeably with CNA. A PCT (Patient Care Tech) may be a Certified Nurse's Assistant, but not necessarily. I worked for a facility...

    I'm a nursing student and have Guillain-Barré Syndrome

    RNsRWe replied to Becky96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Excellent point! I was curious, and did some reading....and it seems that there is a much higher risk of experiencing GB after exposure to the flu virus itself than with the vaccination. You'd be...

    Maryland nursing program that doesn't require TEAS

    RNsRWe replied to smallwonders07's topic in School, College Programs

    You (and your sister) are missing the big picture, the REASON for this exam: without the required abilities that are tested by the TEAS (a test geared to high school graduates only) she will not be...

    It's not flu season....but production IS well under way, the strains are already known to the CDC. Recently threw away the last of the 2014-2015 vaccinations; the last ones to expire were dated...

    Do you KNOW what nursing is?

    RNsRWe replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Students

    I can attest to NOT knowing all that nursing entailed when I was a student. Sometimes I think back and wonder where I got some of my ideas from! Students are oftentimes self-righteous, arrogant,...

    Could you clarify what you mean by "certificate in General Science"? Are you speaking of an Associate Degree in Science? If you want to get into a nursing program you will need to provide a...

    RNsRWe replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Now back to the OP: It is a nurse's responsibility to ensure that the emotional and spiritual needs of the patient is met. It is not the responsibility of the nurse to do everything himself/herself...

    Sigh. 265 questions. Sitting in traffic crying

    RNsRWe replied to Medic82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nothing about your description of the exam tells me you failed. Pass rate for first-time applicants is somewhere between 82% and 85%, so your odds are good. The number of questions, type of...

    RNsRWe replied to Dmckinley03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    All you really need to focus on is the fact that first-time candidates pass at the rate of somewhere between 82% and 85%. You needed to be above the passing standard in all domains in order to have...
