    I would have loved to have worked with you

    Pearson vue trick

    No, of course not. If it were, it would be called Official Results.....not a trick. Sorry, it is what it is. There's hundreds of posts on this forum, including this very thread you just wrote on, that...

    NCLEX PN ROOT

    Unfortunately, there is absolutely no way for any of us to offer you anything other than hope that you might have passed.....until you get official results there really IS no way to know. We can't...

    Test results on hold

    It means just that: your results are on Hold. Why? Could be one of a variety of reasons, including a hand scan that had to be repeated because it didn't "take" the first time, issues with the testing...

    Please don't call me Dude

    Now that is mental imagery I did NOT need this morning!
  7. When you got to the page where you were to enter your CC#, did you actually press submit? And then confirm that submission with a second 'enter'? The "good pop up" people are so hyper-focused on is...

    50-60 SATA questions on NCLEX??

    50-60 SATA questions on NCLEX??

    Not to worry the OP, but it bears mentioning that getting SATA questions or not getting SATA questions has NO bearing, zero, on how you're doing. SATA is merely an alternative format of question....

    Quit during orientation

    Nope, the testosterone camp owns this

    Quit during orientation

    Quit during orientation

    I find this very strange. You said this was a nice hospital, someplace you'd like to work.....yet in a matter of days you found yourself being "banded against", a boycott in place against helping...
  13. Right around 50% of new grads in California will still be unemployed (as nurses anyway) when the next year's graduating class turns out. It's a TIGHT market for newbies. Look around AN to see what...

    Chest Pain, CHF & PVD

    And here I was thinking it was a trick question, that we were supposed to recognize that the NP who was called to assess Gary Davis did not check wristband IDs to see she was really working on John...

    No visiting hours?

    In my experience, for many people it might as well have been a magical fairy wand! An announcement would be made overhead....ignored....second announcement....ignored....nurse/aide makes rounds,...

    Please don't call me Dude

    Ma'am and Sir offensive? News to me! I am surrounded daily by military and former military, and those forms of address are as common as "hello". Personally, I like it: it's respectful, not...

    Staffing issues in emergent situations

    Ah yes, the much-lauded and rarely effective Form! Blecch. When presented with such a shiny new form that would allow us to document the problem and legitimize the request for help, we all thought...

    Medical school after nursing school ?

    Just an FYI: there is no degree in "pre-med"; it's not a degree but a program track. Someone pre-med would be getting a degree in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Biomedical Sciences, depending...

    NCLEX PN only 93 Q's

    The PVT is wrong enough of the time to make it not worth the stress of doing it. If you get the "answer" you want, you'll feel good....and if you get the "bad" answer, you'll feel terrible. And...

    No visiting hours?

    OY. Like we needed another reason to dislike JC visits.... Visiting hours give people a much-needed break from well-wishers, IMHO....and there's nothing more stressful to someone who is recovering...

    No visiting hours?

    The private sector hospitals I worked in most definitely had visiting hours (and still do, unless they changed it since January, which I doubt). Only unit to NOT have specified hours was ICU. Maybe...

    Funny Things Patients Say

    In my endoscopy unit days, there were always a few here and there who would announce upon arrival that they were there for their craniotomy....or craniectomy. Seems there really ARE those whose heads...

    Why PVT is UNRELIABLE. Please read.

    Actually, what I said *IS* true. You cannot say that if a person has passed the charge "will not" go through, as sometimes it DOES go through. Pass OR fail. The fact that the majority of the time this...

    Pearson vue trick

    SATA questions are irrelevant, don't read anything into them being there or not being there on your test. Good news is the odds are in your favor: approximately 90% of US-educated testers do pass,...
