  1. Took NCLEX without studying. Anyone else?

    MikeyJ replied to Algernon's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lol.. Go to Pearsonvue.com and log into your account and you can see your score there (given that your state allows you to get your "quick results"). There is a 900 # and I think it is 1-900-77-NCLEX...

  2. Results sooner than two days?

    MikeyJ replied to nycNurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it depends on the state. I don't know of any state that will post something that indicates you failed your exam; however, some states issue new grads temporary RN licenses. In my state, you...

  3. Results sooner than two days?

    MikeyJ replied to nycNurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It depends on the hospital and the state. In my state, we are issued temporary RN licenses after graduation that are good for 90 days. Many hospitals hire new grads on those permits and then wait for...

  4. Results sooner than two days?

    MikeyJ replied to nycNurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To be honest, the exam is a huge blur. I was honestly in some sort of trance when I took it (or what felt like a trance). I walked out of there thinking "Oh my god.. what just happened??" I don't...

  5. Took the nclex 9/23 and i think i failed

    MikeyJ replied to oneforall's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone feels as if they failed -- it is impossible to gauge how you did on the exam. I took my exam on Monday and didn't feel horrible about it but didn't feel great about it. I figured I must have...

  6. Results sooner than two days?

    MikeyJ replied to nycNurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PearsonVue actually posted mine roughly 44 hours later -- I just got them this morning. I passed.

  7. God give me strength

    MikeyJ replied to HolyNameChild7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Gene, I am sure you did great!! I am in same boat as you.. I took my exam Monday and it shut off at 75 questions. I can look at my results tomorrow. Everyone feels like they failed, but in reality 85%...

  8. Took NCLEX without studying. Anyone else?

    MikeyJ replied to Algernon's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There was a student in my class that took the NCLEX without studying -- granted, she managed to maintain a near perfect 4.0 in nursing school. And she passed with 75 questions. If I didn't have a job...

  9. Today was horriable

    MikeyJ replied to hl4te's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Dee -- your exam sounds very similar to mine. I took mine on Monday (same testing center as yours). The only difference is I did not have that many priority, which scares me. I probably had 5 or 6...

  10. Nclex

    MikeyJ replied to shawney's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree that because you got the minimum # of the questions -- that does not correlate to passing. After I took my exam on Monday, PearsonVue gave me an NCLEX handout that discusses what the # of...

  11. the battle is over.!!!

    MikeyJ replied to gwafuh_rn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats to both of you!! I find out

  12. the NCLEX exam

    MikeyJ replied to accordoba's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats!!! I did not get a whole lot of prioritization questions.. which scares me. My exam seemed incredibly difficult though (good thing hopefully?). I find out on Wednesday if I passed

  13. Nclex-rn

    MikeyJ replied to Polican, RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You did some serious preparation!! I focused on Kaplan QBank and a bit of Saunders. I am so glad I did Kaplan QBank because the NCLEX felt like I was taking a practice QBank exam... just much

  14. Nclex-rn

    MikeyJ replied to Polican, RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine too shut off at 75 questions and I had a TON of meds and 10 - 15 SATA questions and a few "put in order" questions. I only had 1 math question (are math questions considered "high" level...

  15. Nclex-rn

    MikeyJ replied to Polican, RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Debbie I must say that I have never been a religious person (I just wasn't raised in that type of environment), but this NCLEX has brought out the religious part of me!! I have been asking for...

  16. Nclex-rn

    MikeyJ replied to Polican, RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I take it on the 22nd @ 0800 as well! Good luck to you!! Positive thoughts will be sent your way.

  17. God give me strength

    MikeyJ replied to HolyNameChild7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Regarding Kaplan QBank -- those questions are tough! Very very few of them are of the lowest level of difficulty. Most of them are medium to high difficulty. According to Kaplan, they advise you to...

  18. Telling a patient/family that a mistake was made

    MikeyJ replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked as a nurse apprentice I once told a a child's mom that a PICC line that was entered was entered incorrectly -- I proceeded to tell her that this is why we do a chest x-ray to verify...

  19. Is NCSBN helpful?

    MikeyJ replied to babygirl1470's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Our class had to do NCSBN and I did not like it -- it had far too much content and not enough questions. Just my opinion

  20. May have to postpone NCLEX!

    MikeyJ replied to HikingNinja's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Dee -- I live in the same state as you and there were a few students from my class that were affected by this as well. I would talk to your employer about this and see what they say. I also have a...

  21. Just took NCLEXRN/ton of Sata

    MikeyJ replied to TraciRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am sure you did well. I hate SATA questions and I hope the ones I get on the NCLEX are those questions that do not count. Each exam has 15 questions that do not count toward your score and I hope...

  22. Just took NCLEXRN/ton of Sata

    MikeyJ replied to TraciRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Traci -- were the SATA questions on material that you knew or were they really off-the-wall type. Did you use a strategy when ansewring

  23. Good evidence based practice websites

    MikeyJ replied to babynurse357's topic in Ob/Gyn

    http://www.guideline.gov Those are the national guidelines for evidence-based

  24. Test dates for Nclex?

    MikeyJ replied to covergirl2120's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I live in a city of nearly 1.5 million population and we only have one testing center -- I was quite

  25. Can I pass without Q-BANK?

    MikeyJ replied to nycNurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had a close friend of mine pass the NCLEX without studying. Granted, she was a 4.0 student in nursing school... but she did some practice NCLEX questions on her PDA a few days before the exam and...
