    RN training pay at 10$/hr??

    scaredsilly replied to gotchills's topic in Private Duty

    Not at all acceptable. I was offered $24 an hour as a new grad for a peds home health care agency and I am in an area where cost of living is much

    NCLEX 2015

    scaredsilly replied to jj74123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First off, no one who passes nursing school is dumb! A the dumb ones get weeded out early! Second, NCLEX is set up to rob us of our self-esteem, make us feel stupid and as if nothing we learned stayed...

    Harried and Hopeless!!!

    scaredsilly replied to nomoreonions's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The amount of questions and the type of questions are not an indication of whether you passed. A lot of people pass at 85. And everyone feels like they

    Failed Nclex again

    scaredsilly replied to ajcrowe28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Check with your BON! I don't think that they will except a prep course as a remedial course. Ask them what they require. I'd hate to see you spend your money on a prep course (although all that...

    Write Nclex today and just devasted

    scaredsilly replied to Electric0704's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone feels this way after the test, and many of us pass with 265 questions. Relax for a couple of days and wait for the quick results before you start studying

    The maximum number of questions anyone can get on NCLEX is 265 for RN and 205 fr PN, and many people pass if they get the maximum number of

    scaredsilly replied to RNM1989's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Totally normal! I don't know anyone who doesn't feel that way. Keep checking your state's bon online, it may show up faster than quick

    No ATT?

    scaredsilly replied to JLB1215's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What state are you in? I never heard of a BON refusing official transcripts that are submitted by the grad. As long as they are

    Passed NCLEX RN without studying and being out of school for more than a year

    scaredsilly replied to Nursynursenurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think studying is overrated at all, I think that the majority of us aren't going to pass no matter how well we did in school if we don't study. It is human nature to forget what doesn't...

    No ATT?

    scaredsilly replied to JLB1215's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Tomorrow, go to your school, you tell them you want a sealed official copy of your transcripts and whatever other paperwork the BON requires, and then you drive it over to the BON and get someone to...

    Please give me some advice!

    scaredsilly replied to 135az's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Also note than most of us walk out of the test thinking we failed even though something like 90% of US educated nurses pass. I work with a nurse who passed three years ago and when it was time for...

    4th time was not a charm

    scaredsilly replied to baw1309's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After multiple unsuccessful attempts, your next best choice would be to hire a tutor. A tutor can help you figure out what the problem is so that you can resolve it. You never said what you used...

    contact nurse manager directly?

    scaredsilly replied to cat1235's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It is a good idea to contact the NM in person when you are a new grad trying to get a job in a hospital because the online application process weeds out applications of people without experience and...

    Rejecting an offer after accepting it?

    scaredsilly replied to ak2190's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Because nursing is a calling that we answer because we want to help others and take care of people, we have the mentality that our job is to make everyone happy. That's not a bad thing-BUT the most...

    50 Things New Nurses Need to Know about Orientation

    scaredsilly replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Be kind to your feet, you are going to need them! Compression stockings are not just for patients, buy a few pair, and wear them. Never go to work a 12 hour shift with only one pair of shoes!...

    Waiting for results...

    scaredsilly replied to Pink Magnolia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nursys gets information from the state BONs, so if your name is there with an active license it is accurate. The BON has probably not updated their website

    scaredsilly replied to hopefulxx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After 3 unsuccessful tries, I would hire a tutor. I've known quite a few people who used a tutor and no one that I know of failed. Ask your school for a recommendation or try

    scaredsilly replied to rm89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    xoxo is right! Even though most nursing schools tell you never to just show up in person, every new grad I know got hired that way. It is the only chance to get your application into human hands!...

    Do quick results ever come faster than 48 hours?

    scaredsilly replied to dannygirl04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Some state BONs post in 8 to 12 hours (and others take a month) so depending on where you are, you may be able to get them much sooner. Keep checking your BONs website. As for quick results, mine...
