Hey all! I am currently working at a SNF, have been for about 6 months now. This was the first job offered since I graduated in May '16 and I took it! I know for a fact that this current setting is not where I want to stay although I am really gratef...

I completely understand your position as I was in it not too long ago. At one point I got frustrated just sending out applications online as I was not getting no call backs. One day I just selected few facilities to go to and drop my resume and cover...

I think the reason that they made you sign a contract for volunteering training is in their own best interest (OF WHICH I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH). But, perhaps they are used to having interviewed for many people for the position, hired them, paid for ...

"I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity offered to me, however I must regretfully decline the offer".....could be a great starter as you are showing appreciation for taking the chance in hiring you but you are unable to accept

That's a little harsh don't you think. I don't believe that last part was necessary.....

OMG! I can't believe people would actually do something like that!!! Why fuzzy pjs?!! Sometimes I wonder if common sense is actually common...

Oh and Congratulations to the both of you guys!!!!!

Hi mel! I took my NCLEX on Monday as well. What state did you take it in? I am freaking out because I have not seen my name on my BON however I got the good pop up when I did it this morning around 9AM....

you can search memes of passing the NCLEX and post as your profile pic....there are some creative ones under google image...

Congrats!!! Oh how I wish I can join you in celebrating the good news! I too took the exam yesterday at 8AM, screen shut off at 75 surprisingly because the last few questions I was completely guessing....I started FREAKING out on the train ride home ...

UWorld!! Mainly because of their awesome detailed rationales and the questions are not vague and confusing as in Kaplan in my honest opinion

I completely understand how you feel! I too am taking the exam Monday and I am starting to freak out to the point that I am having GI distress lol!! I mostly used UWorld, RN Nclex Mastery and Kaplan. I studied for about 6-7 weeks and did average 75-1...

OMG! The same thing happened to me!! I was pretty sure that I scheduled for 6/30th, the night before I wanted to triple check the address of the exam site and on my page it said no appointments scheduled. I had a breakdown and was told the same thing...

I am taking the NCLEX the same day as you (in 10 days), those scores are good based on what I have heard. I am using Kaplan and UWorld, and based on my research on here, UWorld is most similar to the NCLEX. As for percentiles in UWorld, As pp have st...

Yes, acetaminophen is the generic name for tylenol and it is not considered an NSAID. Aspirin, naproxen, ibuprofen are considered NSAIDs

Yes I must second be99 that your percentage is really good, must be around 84th percentile! Just continue reviewing the rationales and banging out more questions but to make sure you RELAX the day before the exam and you go in there and ace it!! This...

He is really good! I am currently using him and he is amazingly smart and makes the most tough subjects of the NCLEX seem very simple and easy to understand and remember. He goes straight to the point and knows ALOT about the exam and what they are l...

Yes I second the pp in regards to UWORLD, it is AMAZING! Awesome rationales and questions are really similar to NCLEX from what I heard, I am using it at the current moment and I am learning alot from it! Good luck and you will do well the 2nd time a...

So sorry you are feeling that way, but before you conclude have you checked your BON website to see if your name appears with license number? Sometimes the PVT is not always accurate and may seem like you failed but you may actually have passed. Also...

Is the 66% for Kaplan the diagnostic test or average scores of the Qtrainers? If for the diagnostic test I am not sure, but from what is told to us in class that a 65% or better on all Qtrainers is the goal and you have a good chance of passing. Man...

If some of those patient population he is directing this behavior towards is the elderly, mentally or physically disabled and even children you are obligated to report such abuse. It is sickening to even witness such type of behavior, and I am surpri...

Is it absolutely necessary for you to rent an apartment? I know you would probably prefer to live on your own especially when attending a nursing program which is tough in itself, but you can cut down on costs drastically by just living with your mo...

First and foremost, mistakes happen. The good thing about this is that the patient has not been harmed however as previous posters have stated, adhering to the 5 rights is extremely important as well as other factors such as avoiding distractions, no...

Are you currently at WGU? If so how do you like it or are you planning to transfer? I am asking because I am curious about the program and considering applying but would like more information from other students.
