    LOL....having a bad day?

    Took NCLEX Today

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

    Good luck! Think of it this way: you either did very well, or very poorly, since you stopped with only one question over the minimum you could possibly receive. Given how you did as a student, your...

    Got 265 questions for NCLEX-RN

    RNsRWe replied to Kdm112990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The number of questions you received has no bearing on whether you passed or failed. OF COURSE people have passed with that number, and every single number from the minimum to the maximum. And failed...

    Passing the NCLEX utilizing self confidence

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

    Quick Results is available (or not) depending upon an agreement between Pearson Vue and the State BoN. The OP said she is an Oregon resident, so I imagine she applied to the State of Oregon for a...

    RNsRWe replied to MsRnStatus's topic in General Nursing

    As has been said, it's really not much of a debate: find out the requirements of the facility in question, and go from there. Extern positions in my experience are for those who are actually...

    ADN vs BSN Battle

    RNsRWe replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No, not really. If they are doing the same job, then....no, I don't see it as terribly unfair. A line cook with a masters degree gets paid the same for the line cook job as the fellow who didn't...

    ADN vs BSN Battle

    RNsRWe replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are enough employers who place a higher value on experience than they do on the degree, so...no, BSNs aren't going to START at a higher pay than someone who has valuable nursing experience....

    Hospitals in Atlanta r Bad for nursing

    RNsRWe replied to whylife3059's topic in General Nursing

    Another day I should have stayed in bed, I see. OP, the reason Atlanta hospitals "suck" for you is probably they aren't realizing your total potential. Upper management all the way. Make sure to...

    Apologies

    RNsRWe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I imagine she had some very definite thoughts about you at that moment. Desperate Fan was probably not it.....but Definite Freak probably was. I think I would have said "do you need some help, it...

    I did a Welcome Back on another thread, LOL....but am happy to post the same here! Now why do I have a certain 1970's theme song from a sitcom running through my head...?

    Passing the NCLEX utilizing self confidence

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

    Congrats! Well done. I do suggest that people take a bit of time to study, prepare for the NCLEX as that would tend to increase not only their ability to tackle the exam but boost their...

    Why PVT is UNRELIABLE. Please read.

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

    carson, you have posted quite a number of messages now on this forum questioning whether those of us who are discrediting the PVT of any validity are in any position to know anything at all. I...

    Does the bad pop up for Pearson Vue mean you fail?

    RNsRWe replied to Smiller0332's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Except for when it doesn't. Bottom line, SMiller, is that MOST of the time if your card is declined (using invalid card info) it will mean you failed. HOWEVER, there have been enough instances of...

    Passed the NCLEX... and You WILL TOO!! Here are some tips!!!

    RNsRWe replied to thocat1989's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For the most part, I do too. Sometimes, though, when people insist that something "isn't so" or "is so" but they won't go to the source for the Final Word on it (NCSBN) it can be a bit frustrating....

    Am i taking my nclex too late??

    RNsRWe replied to ak1990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NO, it is not excessive. Six months....that's excessive. 8 weeks?! Perfectly fine. Do the program as it was written, don't skip steps. Do ALL the questions/trainer tests. Breathe

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

    You've got this. Own it. I hate to see people stuffing their heads full of practice questions up until the last moment, and it REALLY doesn't help. Just makes you anxious as hell, when you need to be...

    Pearsonvue trick June 2015

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

    No :) But it's something of a pet interest for me, so....I've learned A LOT about it. Maybe this will help explain it better: https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/why-pvt-is-992306.html Good...

    RNsRWe replied to thocat1989's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NO....much of what I write is based on the information provided by the designers of the NCLEX itself, the NCSBN. You can review their website if you like; I find many people don't bother to check...

    Taking NCLEX in July

    RNsRWe replied to ak1990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Best suggestion is to follow the program to a T; do not skip questions, do not leave tests incomplete. Do it ALL. Practice matters, and Kaplan's guarantee is only good for those who do the program...

    Pearsonvue trick June 2015

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

    Much like a Magic 8 Ball....sometimes you get the answer you want...sometimes you don't. Sometimes the "answer" matches what actually happens....sometimes it does not. I'm wondering at what point...

    RNsRWe replied to RNstudent66's topic in General Students

    With all due respect.....why are you involved in this? What she does or doesn't do regarding her SO is, well....her problem. Clearly she isn't your best friend, and you aren't getting stuck with bill...

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

    sorry! Yep, these things do happen. Only thing I'd say is to most definitely, absolutely, NOT do any more practice questions at this point! Your exam is tomorrow. Give your brain a break. There...
