  1. new grad relocating pittsburgh

    I went to school at the University of Pittsburgh! I loved living there and only moved to be closer to my husband down south or else I would've stayed. Just be prepared for a lot of competition if you...
  2. I agree with the above poster. I went to school and got my BSN. Usually universities have two years of clinical, well my school did three years. That in itself is a major difference between ADN and...
  3. Pensacola Hospitals...new grad

    No I was just offering advice from my own experience. Sorry I didn't mean to make it sound like I was speaking about Pensacola in my first response, I was just speaking in
  4. Pensacola Hospitals...new grad

    The issue I'm finding is that in Charleston it's extremely competitive. There are three nursing schools (mainly ADN programs) all in the charleston area. Although I have a BSN, most hospitals will...

  6. Pensacola Hospitals...new grad

    I'm a new grad, moved away from where I graduated and haven't found a job yet. My problem mostly being that I have not been able to network down here or have my foot in any doors because I didn't do...
  7. moving to Georgia

    I graduated from a nursing school in PA too and my husband was stationed in SC and that's where I moved to after graduating. I thought you had to take your nclex in the state you wanted to practice...
  8. Likelihood of a new grad getting an ER job?

    Like others have said it definitely depends on location and really who you know. If you work in the ER as a tech before, then you have a better chance of landing a job straight out of nursing school....
  9. Pittsburgh vs Columbia

    First off congrats on getting into both schools, both very reputable! I graduated from Pitt with my BSN and absolutely loved it there! I can't speak for the graduate school but I can give some insight...

  11. Is Pearson Vue Trick still working?

    For the Pearson Vue trick to truly be 100% accurate, you must wait 24hrs after the COMPLETION of your exam time. Your results are calculated as you take the exam and then once more within 24hrs after...
  12. Is this the good pop up?

    They don't issue an email once Quick Results are available. I just checked to see if they were up around 48 hours after I completed the exam (they were up about 47hrs after mine). I've been checking...
  13. Pharmacology NCLEX Trick

    I took the nclex-rn over a week ago and I was surprised that only the generic names were used and not the brand name along with it. Luckily, using suffixes I was able to figure out the questions....
  14. PASSED the NCLEX-RN! :)

    Hello all! I took the NCLEX-RN on Saturday 2/14/15 and I just found out this morning that I passed! The computer shut off at 156 I believe and took me just over 2hrs with no breaks. I had a ton of...
  15. PVT 75 questions??

    Yes 24hrs after the time you completed the exam is the safest time to try! RNsRWe, any idea about how long it takes generally for a BON to post your license and it be seen on the license look up area...
  16. PASSED the NCLEX-RN! :)

  18. Why try the PVT?

    If I didn't have an old gift card laying around then I wouldn't have tried the PVT. If you can get quick results in your state then I'd just
  19. PVT 75 questions??

    Yes you have to wait 24hrs after the completion of the exam to try the PVT. The test is scored twice, once as you progress through the exam and then once more within the 24hrs. It could be graded a...
  20. NCLEX- PVT- help please!

    I just took the NCLEX-RN on Saturday and found out today that I passed. I tried the PVT twice in the 48hr period before my QR was available. Another fellow member on here (RNsRWe actually!)...
  21. PASSED the NCLEX-RN! :)

    As far as the SATA questions, those were my weakness too! I would either pick an extra answer or leave out one answer but either way I'd get everyone right but one answer in a question which was so...
