    Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    RNsRWe replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    This OP had exactly one post, a month ago.....and hasn't been seen since. Drive-by pot

    Passed NCLEX 1st Time Kaplan Scores in 50s and Pearson Vue Trick (PVT)

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

    RC: it's all good :) I go long, too! It IS important to realize, however, that the generalization of "those who usually pass in 75 questions have a greater percentage of alternate format questions,...

    Passing Statistics for NCLEX RN and PN-2014

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

    Hi, Independa....the NCLEX undergoes a 'revamp' every three years (the last was 2013, so the next would be 2016). It is made to be more difficult only in minute ways; the logit system will create a...

    Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    RNsRWe replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my. Read the first two pages, skipped to the last.

    Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    RNsRWe replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't see that thread, so it'd be hard to say. This thread I see as letting off some steam....and well within the boundaries of the ToS. So...not sure what the issue is, really. I have certainly...

    Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    RNsRWe replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    I'm aware that pain is subjective. I made a comment regarding a post I found funny, and you decide to get all holier than thou. Really? I don't know which "you people" you are referring to, as I...

    Passed NCLEX 1st Time Kaplan Scores in 50s and Pearson Vue Trick (PVT)

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

    Just a quick note here: Questions can be deemed above the passing standard or below it in ANY format. The myth that SATA questions are a higher level of question is just that....a myth. They can be...

    Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    RNsRWe replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Brilliant! My personal one is "...and 10 is a bullet ripping into your brain. Slowly". Never fails to get someone to pause a moment to consider...! Never mind that there are no nerve endings in the...

    Did I PASS the NCLEX RN??

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

    I believed it 99% with the QR, but 100% when I saw my license number on the BoN

    Advice on getting into NYU nursing

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

    Based on the information you had provided, I guessed your chances at poor. Based on the new information you're providing.....it's a little better odds, not fabulous, but not horrible either....

    Nursing Class Attire-Sweats/Leggings

    RNsRWe replied to nyrnicu115's topic in General Students

    Exactly! I feel that we shouldn't have to tell adults (there are no children in nursing school) how they are supposed to dress, but it's clear from some of the campus attire I've seen that SOMEONE...

    Pearsonvue site update/maintenance (07/18/2015)

    RNsRWe replied to Jpcvcj19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Guess we'll have to see if any more people post about having such a message. In late August of last year, there was a day on which people who tried the PVT all got a "site down, maintenance in...

    Nursing Class Attire-Sweats/Leggings

    RNsRWe replied to nyrnicu115's topic in General Students

    Attending regular classes doesn't require clinical attire, and certainly doesn't require business casual. If you wish to be perceived as a slob, then wear slob clothes (holes, dirty, dragging on the...

    Advice on getting into NYU nursing

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

    A school not advertising a minimum GPA isn't the same thing as them not having one. When all applications are compared, I believe you'd find that your very low GPA would not have you in the running....

    Consider This Before Paying For KAPLAN Or Any NCLEX Preparation "Course"

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

    I was thinking this, too. I have no statistics, just my own observations regarding the predictor exams when people post about them on the discussion board. Many times we'll see someone posting about...

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

    Unfortunately for those who must wear masks because of contraindications to receiving the flu shot (and there are far fewer of those nowadays with the advent of egg-free, preservative-free...

    Would this be considered a med error?

    RNsRWe replied to Theone40's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wondering if this was a stupidly written question given to a first-semester student.....or a question designed to make a third or four-semester student think outside the box for the answer? If the...

    I think I failed!

    RNsRWe replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NCLEX is a brand new test every time it is taken. It does not "remember" a person from a previous testing experience, it does not pick up where it left off. New day.....new exam. It does not...

    Will I have a social life as a bsn student at a four year college and as a nurse

    RNsRWe replied to abbbbbbbbbbbbbb's topic in General Students

    A nursing degree will require time, dedication to the program, priority in your life. It will not consume your life. You will need to choose, from time to time, whether to meet your friends or...

    Feeling discouraged.

    RNsRWe replied to Futurenurse_25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I fail to see why the OP is discouraged.....he/she got into 4 nursing programs, just not The One he/she wanted. Ok....based on what's been posted here, I think the answer is evident: the 3.79 that...

    Pearson vue trick

    RNsRWe replied to Bigman7788's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If it was days after taking the exam you received a message along the lines of "contact your bank", or any other indication your credit card had a charge attempt, the odds are good that you failed....

    NCLEX-Pn Michigan PVT

    RNsRWe replied to Kapowski88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Then, as has already been said...you did it too early and now can't know if you passed or failed. If you paid $200....you either paid for a new registration you will need for a future NCLEX exam, or...

    NCLEX-Pn Michigan PVT

    RNsRWe replied to Kapowski88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just as an FYI, in case others are interested, the PVT relates to a national software registration program, and it doesn't vary by State. There is no "Michigan PVT". There was a ridiculous thread...
