    Pearson Vue Trick as of August 2015

    WookieeRN replied to cambrose's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If it was accurate it wouldn't be called a "trick" and test takers would have access to their scores immediately, and not have to wait 48 hours for quick

    LEAST competitive program? 2 Year RN ABSN, or Direct Entry

    WookieeRN replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    They're all about the same level of competitiveness, to be quite

    HELP! Someone! I have stips on my license. Need help in job search!

    WookieeRN replied to JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I agree that these look like your only two options, especially since the BON has told you to keep lookong, and won't consider removing the

    Why is there a faint pulse with severe dehydration? Wouldn't it be thready & increased?

    WookieeRN replied to 757RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Deficient volume means that there isn't enough fluid, this there is a drop in blood pressure and a faint pulse. If there was an excess of fluid, the pulse would be bounding because of the

    Should I buy an NCLEX book before starting nursing school

    WookieeRN replied to czerwodl121's topic in General Students

    You're not going to really be able to practice the test taking skills without knowing the content first, so

    What to study before Nursing School?

    WookieeRN replied to ETIGLAO's topic in General Students

    A and P, maybe but there is nothing else to really start without beginning lectures. Just enjoy the time off in

    WookieeRN replied to Ladycat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How do you pass when you were not permitted to finish the exam? Did you hit 179 and the computer shut off THEN you went to the bathroom? Did you get the Quick Result directly from

    WookieeRN replied to Ladycat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't finish the exam, there is no way you passed. You are most likely getting the so-called "good pop-up" because your situation is being investigated and you cannot re-register until a decision...

    Charged $200 By PVT now what?

    WookieeRN replied to akb0220's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you ask the CC company how long it would be pending for? You might have to do some legwork of your own and get it in writing from Pearson that there is no active registration and submit it to the...

    Desperately need advice

    WookieeRN replied to Cynbar1988's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You might want to check with the facilities, as they may not hire you/let you work as a CNA if you are actively licensed as an RN. NYC is notoriously difficult for new grads with OR WITHOUT a BSN....

    My GPA is trash. What to do now?

    WookieeRN replied to wpm7231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you do. Omitting transcripts is considered academic fraud and schools have ways of finding a student's past
  14. WookieeRN

    can someone who is in charge or hiring nurses message me?

    WookieeRN replied to lpnstudentdham's topic in Nursing Career

    This is very facility - specific and you would need to contact the individual HR departments to get that

    So careless!

    WookieeRN replied to Mygenericusername's topic in General Students

    I always double and triple check before handing mine in for fear of this. We don't get credit for answers on the exam unless it's on the scant Ron (no exceptions) so I write each answer in a big...

    How to study for fundamentals and get an A?

    WookieeRN replied to ns808's topic in General Students

    I just got a 101 on my first fundamentals test. What I did was not focus on memorizing every detail in the chapters and instead focusing on doing AT LEAST 5 NCLEX-style (sometimes more if I was on a...

    Is it possible to learn 3 chapters in one day?

    WookieeRN replied to haeji's topic in General Nursing

    Cramming is actually more detrimental to your ability to retain information, and isn't really an l effective study technique. I studied steadily 1-2 hours a day throughout the week and that was...

    Hi all! Is anyone out there also accepted for Watts and starting their pre-reqs at UMO in January 2015? I just got my acceptance letter on August 1st and I am so excited! I'm moving to the area from...

    Yeah at least ask her for the reasoning why. I can't imagine why you were not accepted unless they are tightening their admissions

    LPN to RN or BSN Accelerated Bridge Program

    WookieeRN replied to nicolina104's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You stated that TCN had an LPN to ASN and an LPN to BSN program, implying that they are a school when in fact they do not, and cannot, offer these

    I already have a BA and an LPN, is WGU right for me?

    WookieeRN replied to samkasper1's topic in Western Governors University

    Affording a Second Bachelor's

    WookieeRN replied to CogNeuroGuy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do NOT accumulate anymore debt until you have paid off your current debt. It's a horrible idea to add even more to that high amount you already have, in my opinion. Best option to avoid loans is going...

    Moving to NC (Raleigh-Durham)

    WookieeRN replied to Mike1260's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Things seem to be much easier job-wise here than back home in Philly, even for new grads. It's a very big medical hub. I will have to say, the worst part about being down here is the cheesesteak...
