    Took the NCLEX yesterday, 265 questions

    RNsRWe replied to s.lever92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You posted this identical message on another thread this morning, and I answered you this morning. I posted the link you needed to read then, and now:...

    Things you'll never forget from your nursing instructors?

    RNsRWe replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    This gem from a CI I respected is something I not only appreciated at the time, but have continued to share with others to this very day: "If any nurse with more than a minimum of experience tells you...

    my worst fear.

    I personally think points should be awarded for correctly spelling

    NCLEX-RN question

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

    The only piece of information that was actually an indicator of how you did was the fact you stopped at 75 questions. ALL the rest (including question type and PVT info) is irrelevant. Stopping at 75...

    I took around 220 questions today. Anyone else take that many & pass NCLEX?

    RNsRWe replied to jonesyRN15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats, and welcome to the fold! Yeah, maybe with enough people over enough time saying "the PVT is about as accurate as a Magic 8 Ball", maybe it'll go the way of the dodo....but I doubt it'll be...

    You will all probably hate me for this

    RNsRWe replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't that exactly what BOTH sides of this keep saying? You say I mistook what you said and turned it into something completely different (by the way, the school analogy was yours, but the rest was a...

    I'm going for a bullet list, rather than complete responses to the several before me, so here goes! :) --Attending this internet forum is not equivalent to a child who is required to attend school....

    Why PVT is UNRELIABLE. Please read.

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

    I REALLY wish PV would fix that stupid statement on their website! Yes, it's not 48 business hours, it's 48 consecutive hours ? Forty-eight business hours would be six days....why they don't change...

    Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    RNsRWe replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    Just a quick note: the rule of thumb for taking no more than one year's worth of salary as a total in loans isn't based on it being paid back quickly, but rather paying it back reasonably, and...

    You will all probably hate me for this

    RNsRWe replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    I believe those guilty on both sides of the 'rudeness' debate are of a wide range of ages; I don't feel that "age" is the issue at all, not in the least. I have seen young people whose attitude made...

    my worst fear.

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

    Depends on the facility. Every place I've worked the aides could (and with varying frequency did) change the wall canisters of whatever liquid they contained. Drop in the solidifying gel, bag it and...

    RNsRWe replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Ok. How I got through ELEVEN pages of posts without spontaneously combusting (or doing a trigger-finger version of reply posting) is beyond me. After reading all that, I can only think of one thing...

    Loan Repayment

    RNsRWe replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    No, the loans are not "forgiven". There is the possibility of a loan repayment program (for federally-insured loans only) in which a maximum amount per year may be awarded for employees who fit a...

    Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    RNsRWe replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    Sorry, but have to disagree with this. The name definitely does NOT justify the cost; other programs are at least as good, and better.....and cost less.....so the exorbitant expense is not worth the...

    RNsRWe replied to jonesyRN15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Skip the PVT, it's a waste of time at this point. If you run out of time before you have completed the exam, you are assessed on the last 60 questions. No more, no less. If you were above the...

    Oh come on you love me and my grumpy cat!! It's true, nobody knows if I'm a complete headcase, completely unreliable, making all this up. I suppose if people prefer to believe that and ignore all...

    Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    RNsRWe replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    General rule of thumb when it comes to student loans and nursing degrees: don't take out more in loans than you expect to earn your first year working as a nurse. You really REALLY shouldn't expect to...

    RNsRWe replied to kclindsay's topic in Government, Military

    RNsRWe replied to EmergencyLove12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You're really asking two questions, without knowing it. Pearson Vue has a fee-for-service, Quick Results, whereby you can pay $7.95 to find out the results of the NCLEX, and the NCLEX only. It will...

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

    Computer grading both times; the second isn't really "grading" it, it's a quality assurance measure to be 100% certain that the first reading from the CAT was correct. Sometimes it isn't. I'm curious...

    Your Favorite Review Course?

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

    The answer you're seeking isn't really "what are our favorite review courses" but "what review courses work best for what people, what situations?" They all work. They all fail. People who got...
