  1. Accepted a job but having second thoughts???

    Miss.LeoRN replied to dbear3's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In one hand, you have secured a job at Hospital B. On the other hand, you may possibly have a job at Hospital A, that may or may not give you differential pay if you get a job. I suppose it depends...

  2. Job asked for references, need opinions?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to JessicaB, LPN, RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I recently was hired at a facility that used the same survey system. Mine in particular told me the survey was to assess strong and weak points in my skills and abilities so that orientation could be...

  3. Making time during a BS to BSN Accelerated Program

    Miss.LeoRN replied to JazzBSNstudent's topic in General Students

    I can only tell you what worked for my family; which was essentially, everyone stepped up so that I could step back. My husband did most the cooking (he's a chef, so it wasn't all bad); the kids did...

  4. Sabotage? Failed by 0.1%

    Miss.LeoRN replied to gpnbe1a6's topic in General Students

    It very well may be the dean who isn't allowing you the point. Is this instructor one of the programs faculty? Or an adjunct? In our program the adjuncts could say whatever they wanted but if faculty...

  5. Infractions

    Miss.LeoRN replied to HelloNurse2015?'s topic in General Nursing

    Fighting is likely useless. It doesn't matter if you personally set them off, you are responsible for the guests at your house. Also, as my husband was told when we first moved into our house and we...

  6. Special Research Section and how it affects the quick results

    Miss.LeoRN replied to strksns's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As others have said, the questions don't count. I'm sorry you failed your exam. On the next one however, don't spend so much time on the questions. Over analyzing and over thinking is the bane of any...

  7. Chest tube scenario/question

    Miss.LeoRN replied to ZAHRAA88's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If I remember right, this is actually a Uworld

  8. UWORLD Q Bank

    Miss.LeoRN replied to kathrinegaylo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My UWorld scores were pretty low too. Scores tell you what you knew previous to being asked the question. Just be sure to read all the rationales, both ones you get right and ones you get wrong. Try...

  9. Having trouble getting NJ license?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to njngg's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    First of all, did you pass your nclex? I took my exam on July 21st and just received my license by mail today, however my RN# was listed on the website on July 28th. Have you searched the online...

  10. Accuracy of Pearson Vue Trick

    Miss.LeoRN replied to rariel's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's accurate.

  11. Select all that apply questions

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Jweinstein's topic in General Students

    My school also did this; gave us SATAs with only one answer. It was frustrating but I didn't question it. Not until about two weeks ago when I was using NCSBN to prep for the NCLEX and one of their...

  12. How do you respond to competitive peers?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to conjer's topic in General Students

    Honestly... I never let it bother me. I shrugged if off, smiled, and genuinely congratulated them on their success. If they asked, I passed, or maybe I scored higher than my previous exam. Maybe I...

  13. Working Full Time in Nursing School

    Miss.LeoRN replied to jbrown796's topic in General Students

    Many people work full time or even part time. I watched several of my cohort work and succeed, saw one drop out because they had to work and couldn't make it, and had another quit her job and move...

  14. Shopping for a printer for nursing school: Laser or Ink? Suggestions?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    One of the best investments I made for nursing school was a laser printer. Mine was $250 at the time. I can print upwards of 6000 pages on one toner cartridge. My ink jet would have burn through $50+...

  15. Passed in 75, 16 months post graduation.

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Miss.LeoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Definitely NCSBN. They write the nclex and I believe I read somewhere that use questions from previous versions of the nclex. As much as I really like Uworld sometimes the questions seemed purposely...

  16. Does a nursing student ask for a clinical where you're in the ICU, surgery, ER or whatever

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Caranetta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Assuming you are in the US, Nursing Students get a "rounded" education that pretty much touches on a little bit of everything. After you graduate, you can do more schooling to earn critical care...

  17. Dirty bed sheets/RN/CNA/UAP/CP

    Miss.LeoRN replied to STUNUR321's topic in General Students

    I get what you're saying. So, since you know who tends to straighten the linens in this manner, why don't you either just go "here, I'll help you" and proceed to make it so said persons can't toss...

  18. I just want to be a stay at home mom!

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Lavendergal's topic in General Students

    I think the line what set off everyone's warning bells was "I am so afraid that my kids will now be losing their only sense of security". I mean, saying "he's not the best" probably left a bit of...

  19. Instructor says she wants to fail me the week before graduation! HELP!

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Katie622's topic in General Students

    Have you talked to your clinical instructor? I would suggest being very proactive here. Talk to your instructor, find out why she/he thinks they feel the need to potentially fail you. Ask what you can...

  20. New Grads: What to do if the school doesn't send your education to the BON?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Ivan R.'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    A classmate of mine circumvented the entire debacle with the review program we were supposed to take. As soon as the college conferred our degrees she got a copy of her transcripts and sent those in...

  21. Ethics in grading?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to rfsager0021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My school did the same bs. It's unlikely there is much you can do about it that suck it and learn from it. As Msu mentioned, try meeting with the professor and see if you can do a review to understand...

  22. Pharm Advice (Using UWorld, Kaplan)

    Miss.LeoRN replied to malaz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My ADN didn't offer a Pharm class either. Instead medications were part of the lecture portion and something we were pretty much required to self learn. I wrote down every med Uworld referenced and...

  23. Pearson Vue Trick did NOT work for me and I PASSED!

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Blondie28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Really an incredibly misleading thread for people stressing over over whether or not they passed. The PVT only works if you go through the ENTIRE process of signing up for a new exam. You don't just...

  24. Virtual ATI Time Frame

    Miss.LeoRN replied to PsychNurse2be's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It really depends on you. It only took me a couple weeks. Or program required it no matter what your score was. One of the other students in my cohort skipped it entirely. She waited the 2 weeks it...

  25. CON withholding proof of graduation!!!!

    Miss.LeoRN replied to KelERnurse's topic in General Students

    I know I am a little late commenting on this. My program had a similar thing we had to do ATI's NCLEX Prep, which was only covered for like 12 weeks or something. If you didn't complete it or pass it...
