  1. PVT trick

    sounds like you passed. PVT was accurate for me, too. just relax and prepare for the excitement once you see that "PASS" on quick results (even though you knew it was
  2. Prayers needed

    I scored 50%'s in uworld and I passed, so you have a
  3. Pearson vue trick

    I really think the people who are posting that are doing it wrong. it seems like people don't understand that you have to go all the way through with the trick - ie, actually try to get the CC...
  4. Took my Nclex yesterday

    the PVT works as soon as you get the email from pearson after taking the exam saying they acknowledged you taking it. I did it 1 hour after the exam, the day after, and then the day after, and all...
  5. What Nobody Told You About Graduate School

    I'm pretty sure every students wants an A, but nursing school just doesn't happen like that. I strove for an A in all my semesters, ending up with B's and B+'s. As the saying goes, always a...
  6. I don't see what the issue is. as another poster mentioned, go to the new job, stick it out and this 'black mark' may not be as big of a deal. are you planning on jumping ship at the new job, too?...
  7. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    this is also such a cautionary tale. we sometimes brush off the little things - like someone saying they just don't feel right (and after all, the patients are the ones who know their bodies the best)...
  8. Pearson vue

    the credit card number has to be right. you change the expiration date. for example if your card expires Sept 2016, just change it to October 2016. I also put the wrong security code just in case...
  9. NCLEX pvt

    ^ my suggestion to you is the Hurst program and Uworld. Uworld questions were hard and this NCLEX was just as difficult, IMO. I did all the questions in uworld, took notes on stuff that I never...
  10. 200 gone- PVT tool right, second time ?

    you did the trick wrong and you won't get anything other than that message from now on because it took your payment. so even if you end up passing (but you won't confirm it using the PVT) you're out...
  11. NCLEX pvt

    the NCLEX gets revamped every 3 year. unfortunately for everyone who took it this year (moi included) it is supposedly a harder version than the one it replaces. so your assessment of how in depth...
  12. Is 32 to late to go to a nursing program ?(ADN)

    I was 36 when I graduated from an ADN program
  13. Was this workplace violence? What should I do?

    I've seen it happen too, with the opposite result. The poor lady ended up resigning. There are various degrees of herd mentality, and in OP's case, it appears there is a deep rooted culture there...
  14. Was this workplace violence? What should I do?

    sounds like a toxic culture. ie, someone else kindly reminding you that G will lose his pension if he loses his job, as if that's your problem and it also hints of retaliation should that actually...
  15. Fake Nurse?

    See post #18
  16. Poor Judgment, Didn't notice Compartment?

    if it makes you feel better, OP, I learned something from your 'mistake' and thank you for
  17. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    When talking about potentially gay people, ya'll know what a beard is, right? I just couldn't read the beard talk without a smirk on my
  18. so embarrassed...

    3-4 hour lectures with no breaks (snack/bathroom or otherwise) is extremely unrealistic and bordering on sadistic. I ate/drank and went to the bathroom on average twice a lecture, so I sat closer to...
  19. Debating on On-Campus classes vs Online

    I'm taking online Rn-BSN and the school charges an additional $300 for an online course vs a regular in class course...just
  20. Is it normal that my school doesn't teach us IVs?

    so if someone told you to address the elephant in the room, are you looking for an actual elephant? Point being, you are taking something completely literal and out of context. the analogy to a...
  21. Misery loves company. It's not just a saying, people who are miserable truly make others around them miserable, too. I don't care if it's a personality flaw or if someone's having a bad day - my...
  22. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    I call aus jus (the beef dipping) old jews. I just find it easier to say LOL. the s at the end of aus tells my brain I need to say it, even though it's
  23. So you're just a nurse?

    I'm not sure gloating should be a motivating factor to enter this
  24. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    ^ I heard that in my head as I was reading it
  25. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    I didn't know the correct term was "taken aback" by something. I rarely heard the 'a' in front, to me it always sounded like people said 'I was taken back by...' - so for the longest time I would say...
