  1. Pearson Vue Trick

    RunBabyRN replied to hafnerkayla's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/2014-pearson-vue-903036.html This will answer the question. This is just in the past few months. This shows about 90% accuracy. NOT

  2. Which prep course do you recommend

    RunBabyRN replied to rose89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, where are your weaknesses? They each have a different approach. Kaplan is good for strategies, Hurst is good for content. I'm not overly familiar with the others. I did Kaplan, and I felt...

  3. NCLEX ATT QUESTION?

    RunBabyRN replied to ashesandroses's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Like these folks have said, no printing, just contact PV to schedule, enter the number from the email, and take your ID. Good

  4. Good pop up specifics

    RunBabyRN replied to cdevareaux's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A prime example of what posts like this one do to people:

  5. Good pop up specifics

    RunBabyRN replied to cdevareaux's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Said poll:

  6. Good pop up specifics

    RunBabyRN replied to cdevareaux's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First, the whole "contact your BON" portion of the pop up has been removed from most of the pop ups because of the insane influx of calls to the Boards from impatient GNs. I just took mine last week,...

  7. Postpone NCLEX?

    RunBabyRN replied to wel43's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You're psyching yourself out, which is why your scores have dropped. Don't let your anxiety get the best of you. Get off the computer, go have coffee or dinner with a friend, go see a movie, whatever...

  8. BRN Eligibility Letter/Email

    RunBabyRN replied to ohhellofran's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I registered with BreEZE and Pearson Vue early in the process, and I paid my exam fee at that time. I called the BRN on June 13, and they said that my ATT was issued that day, and that the letter...

  9. Do you find your previous degree was of any help in nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    Hiring managers don't look at that, but you'll find you draw on that experience as a nurse, and it affects your approach to patients. I didn't complete another degree, but I did have other majors...

  10. Do you hear nurses will take over respiratory work?

    RunBabyRN replied to SeekingNewCareer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As already stated, many hospitals are already doing this, and have eliminated RTs. In the Navy, we never had RTs, and we performed all treatments as corpsmen. I'm glad I have that experience moving...

  11. Relocation after graduation

    RunBabyRN replied to christinand's topic in General Nursing

    California is the worst market in the US for new grads. I would really encourage you to do your research before making a decision. The major cities are particularly competitive. If you're able to...

  12. How well do you deal with vomit

    RunBabyRN replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    If I know the etiology (post-op pain vs. noro, for example), that makes a difference for me. It doesn't bother me NEARLY as much as I feared it would. If I know they are contagious, I'll mask up...

  13. What is the better antiemetic zofran or phenergan?

    RunBabyRN replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient Medications

    In my limited experience, I've seen better relief with phenergan, and I've never seen any SEs except for sedation (not that I don't think they can happen). I've had to give more repeat doses of...

  14. Intrusiveness and unwanted touching of pregnant bellies

    RunBabyRN replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I HATE that people think that pregnant bellies are fair game. When I was pregnant, I would shrink away from people if they reached out without asking. Even with people I know well, I ALWAYS ask. My...

  15. what to choose

    RunBabyRN replied to bbridges21's topic in General Students

    The military is really tightening up, and it's becoming more and more difficult to get in. Something to think about. Also, you are government property, and are constantly reminded as much. Check out...

  16. Cna and rn duty differences?

    RunBabyRN replied to Wutermelon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This may help some:

  17. I'm wanting to become a nurse

    RunBabyRN replied to SuzieHelper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is one area where age really isn't as much of a factor. I am 34 and just graduated, and I was in the middle, age-wise, in my class. I know we had 1 or 2 50+ in our class. Bedside nursing can...

  18. Failed NCLEX 2 times, HELP!

    RunBabyRN replied to jenniferm89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I totally agree about looking at YOUR weaknesses and going from there. What works for us may or may not be what works for you, and you need to examine yourself and focus on that. The only prep course...

  19. What does this pop up mean? Please HELP..

    RunBabyRN replied to ursweetpea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's the post with that survey:

  20. BRN Eligibility Letter/Email

    RunBabyRN replied to ohhellofran's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In CA, the BRN site says they're processing apps for checks that were cashed in May. If yours cashed at the end of May, it may be a few more days, but it should be there soon. My check cashed on May...

  21. What does this pop up mean? Please HELP..

    RunBabyRN replied to ursweetpea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There's a survey on here (go through the posts), and from that, it looks like it's about 90% accurate. Nothing's 100% until things are official. Even with the good pop up, I wasn't relaxing until...

  22. NCLEX 265Q!! Ahhh

    RunBabyRN replied to USMC2RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can apply for jobs now. You don't have to wait, necessarily. I was applying for jobs while I was waiting for my ATT, and interviewed (and was offered positions). Nurse managers understand the...

  23. Incredibly Scared

    RunBabyRN replied to Katie BSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think ANYONE feels totally ready walking into the NCLEX. That's just reality. But all you can do is prep to the best of your ability (which it sounds like you've done), give yourself the day...

  24. What does this pop up mean? Please HELP..

    RunBabyRN replied to ursweetpea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, we're in

  25. Help, failed NCLEX RN 3 times!

    RunBabyRN replied to sweetie118's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Where do you feel your weaknesses lie? I would start there with the actual exam prep. Next, it sounds like you have a very negative outlook, and your family isn't much help with that. The power of...
