scaredsilly BSN, RN

I hate responding to "Nursey" "honey" "sweetheart"...ect. I mean it is really hard to be professional when you want to yell "you don't know me like that!" Don't they know how disrespectful that sounds? If I am your nurse, I told you my name, it'...

The MAIN job of a nursing school is to prepare students to pass the NCLEX. If you don't pass, you don't get to be a nurse. I would be VERY put off by the pass rates. I would also check to see where their clinical sites are. You want to make sur...

Congratulations and thank you for the great post! Now stick around with the rest of us who are here to help out and dispel myths! :-)

Most schools make it mandatory that you have insurance and will offer you a low cost plan. Check with them and your insurance woes may well be over! You can roll the cost of the insurance into whatever financial assistance package you get. How old...

Your Kaplan predictor was higher than mine and I passed first time. Best of luck!

Umm...these are some of the best Kaplan scores I have seen!!! As for SATA, if I remember correctly, QT4 was all SATA and it looks like you nailed it! Going by these scores you will do great! SATA is everyone's weakness! We all hate them, treat t...

You are not alone...you are totally normal! I haven't reached the golden one year anniversary yet, but I am getting close and it really has gotten better!! I still have a ways to go myself, but these are the things that really helped me: 1. Get ...

quik absolutely can guarantee one of those is correct! :-)

Cost of housing in Colorado is absolutely ridiculous and I don't know if anyone knows why. It is even worse in the Denver area. Ermmm... not sure what experienced nurses get paid, but new grads are under paid. The salary does NOT offset the cost ...

Get certificates that will help with your career. Work on CEs. And other than that ENJOY life! Reconnect with family and friends you have missed during school and NCLEX study. Get a membership at the gym and USE IT! Start renting all the movi...

Happy that you passed. PVT has done some false passes. RNsRWe posted recently that someone accepted a job offer based on PVT and then found out she failed. The biggest issue with PVT is the emotional turmoil that goes with it. Imagine walking ar...

This is a new one to me as well, BUT, your entire session is video taped and the video has a time stamp. I am pretty sure that the sequence of the video when you stood up will be a second or two later than the timestamp on the computer for when the...

If we hit 10 million pvt question posts, will the pvt start to work again?

I got 265 and passed over a year ago. The exam is torture no matter how many you get and everyone thinks that they failed.

Dude, I went online, found jobs that did not mandate a year experience and had planned to walk in my resume when I got called for an interview from the NM where I did my practicum AFTER walking my resume in there. Way more than one or two classmates...

Every day I read posts here that go something like this: I had "100 questions, 27 were SATA, 4 were drag and drop, 11 EKGs, 14 OB, 6 education"(etc) It has already been made clear that the type of question has nothing to do with if you pass or fail, ...

I guess it is the nature of the beast....people look for any little thing that will convince them that they passed because the wait is so difficult...but I cannot imagine taking the time or brain power to keep track of that.

2 months after NCLEX, my dream job at my dream hospital in L&D after ab out 300 applications

A nurse with your experience should not have a problem. I would check the job posting pages for Childrens, Healthone, and Centura as well as Denver Health. With experience you should get some response applying online (unlike new grads).

12 year old comes out of his mothers post partum room carrying his 2 hour old brother and tells us that "my parents are tryin' to sleep and he won't stop making noise". ermmm.....yeah

Chaos==your head or someone else's?? LOL OP and Ginger, You actually have a LOT to lose...imagine getting charged, being convinced you failed and suffering with that belief for 48 hours....or longer in states that don't do qr. The emotional pain ...

WOW! That is so different! The 48 hours is so much more kind, but to us, even that seems like a long time. How long ago did NCLEX revert to computerized testing? And how many questions did you have to answer in those two days? One more questio...

One of my teachers told us about that. she said that the "trick" then was that the envelope it came in said RN after your name if you passed. Not much of a trick considering you see it 1 second before opening the official results LOL

Congrats, Monica!!! Told ya we all feel that way! RNsRWe, lol, I don't think she is in counselling, as long as she never needs to take NCLEX again she will be ok! hahaha

You "cant believe I did so bad that I had to stopped at 75"....maybe your shouldn't believe it....maybe you did so GOOD that it stopped at 75!!!
