    NCLEX Priority Questions- nclex-rn 2015

    RNsRWe replied to bonniekate89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly, the only 'tactic' for success with ANY kind of question is to understand what's being asked, and answer appropriately. No magic answer, really, just know what it is that's in front of you,...

    NCLEX Shut off in 75 Qs...

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

    You didn't really expect to see your license number on the BoN website in an hour! Remember, passing the exam does not equal an instant license: someone has to see your file, indicate exam results,...

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

    Oh, I hear ya! Some of their information is either misleading or downright confusing, so it's hard to get to the meat of the matter :) One of my favorite goofy wordings is on Pearson Vue's website,...

    Fear of making med error as a nurse?

    RNsRWe replied to ns808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before you ever get to the point of being ABLE to make a med mistake on a patient due to math errors, you will have had to pass a math course that teaches you how to do med calculations....so there's...

    1 minute scrub the hub

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Unless there is clear evidence to support doing a 60 second scrub, I don't see why the scrub time is now extended. After all, if it's an arbitrary thing just to get staff to do it for longer, it's...

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

    Congrats on passing! The study tips are very good, and I'm sure many people will benefit from them. Your NCLEX explanation, however, contains a fair amount of incorrect information, and people would...

    Dismissed from Program (Venting)

    RNsRWe replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure I know what it is you're saying, as it is difficult to read. You seem to be telling windsurfer that if he doesn't become more open-minded with mental illness he "won't make it". He IS a...

    Dismissed from Program (Venting)

    RNsRWe replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

    There are a couple of people here who seem to believe that the only way to offer constructive advice is to do so in a manner that doesn't put any spotlight back on the OP's original behaviors that...

    Quit during orientation

    RNsRWe replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    What was unsafe? Please provide examples. ....yes....you WERE hired as a care tech, correct? Total/complete care of patients, sometimes mentally unstable, is part of your job. Management isn't...

    Nursing CE reimbursement

    RNsRWe replied to Inquisitive Nurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Clock in early to do the work on a computer in your unit, which presumably is in view of others, or stay after your shift to do the same. Ta da! They paid for the time it took, and your computer...

    Single mom planning to go to school

    RNsRWe replied to misskristy33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are increasing numbers of schools that require a CNA course completion prior to entry into the program. One reason seems to be that there are those who discover during the CNA classes that this...

    Prerequisite coursework is just as the name implies; they are requirements that must be completed PRIOR to consideration for admission into a program. There are co-requisite courses that are...

    For Funniest Nurse Only!

    RNsRWe replied to lovingnurses's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I know, right? Maybe I should stick this on a t-shirt: Screw 'Keep Calm'! Freak Out Instead! And I could sell one to every single person who leaves the NCLEX Testing

    This is the best thing you've said thusfar :) There's really no debate, and no argument: the facts are the facts. I believe it's very likely you'll pass, but I ALSO believe that if you keep doing...

    Test day ritual?

    RNsRWe replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    This thread made me smile :) I had "lucky earrings"! Even wore them to clinicals when I felt it was going to be a rough day or whatever. Sometimes, it was true, that my lucky earrings didn't seem to...

    Types of SATA on NCLEX?

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

    I definitely agree that the approach to each potential answer is always "True or False"! Each option given should be decided as T/F; you will then know what to include and what to exclude

    Took the NCLEX-PN in CA 2 days ago, a lot of SATA, 85Q shut off

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

    The number of SATA questions you got is utterly meaningless. Truth. It is a huge myth that SATA questions are only higher-level (passing level) questions; they are merely an alternative format type...

    The OP and her friend have repeatedly said that they don't believe this happens, that is that people could have ever gotten a 'bad pop up' or been able to register for another exam if they passed....
