LOL, yes!! I had gone back to study (two days in a row) and when the 48 hour mark hit, I went to look at quick results. My hand was shaking SO hard, it took me 7 tried to get my credit card entered. When I saw I passed, I screamed. It was ju...

I think everyone feels like they failed/knew nothing. I didn't think I got any of the question right, and I got a slew of SATA, but didn't count. I knew I failed. I started studying in the library again the next morning because I was so sure......

Joining professional organizations-not a bad idea, but if you are too busy to be involved then don't just join to put it on your resume. Getting extra certifications is ALWAYS a good idea, and you should get financial help from the facility you wo...

They got a new lawyer and I am betting he told them to shut up before they do more damage to an already frivolous case.

It says right on the work order 'install light bulb prn', what more documentation do you need?

People pass and fail at 75. If the questions felt "easy" to you, it could be that they were below the passing line, OR it could be that you were very well prepared and that it was an easy test for you. It happens (unfortunately not to me!) If yo...

LOL not exactly! in my case, I had done my practicum on the unit that hired me and I did know people. But most of my classmates found out what units were hiring on the hospital job boards, then walked in with a resume without knowing anyone. I...

Most people leave the test thinking that they failed. I was so sure I failed that I started studying again the next morning, but I passed. What you feel is normal and not indicative of your results. Best of luck!

Looks like SATA to me. A and D!

OP, if you get hired at a hospital, please tell us where you are working so we can avoid going there ever. You are too stubborn and argumentative and your refusal to listen to people who know what they are talking about and actually LEARN something...

Wow Cali is expensive. I paid the $200 for the test and the $150 to the BON which was both the application and license fee. I don't know if you have to pay all of it again for a retest because I didn't have to retest. Renewals are $120 every...

Wow, I didn't know that. In my state, you have to pay the $150 before you test...what state is this?

congrats, but your scores weren't low! They were pretty average. They pretty much matched mmine in fact.

You can look yourself up on the BON as many times as you want. Some BONs post quickly, some are slow, so if you don't show up today, look tomorrow, etc.

Whoa--you haven't got official word you failed yet? Please don't just assume! Does your state participate in quick results? if so, they cost $8.00 are well worth it. If not, then wait until you have official word. Some BONs are not consiste...

It is mailed to you if you fail nclex

How can you not know the answer? The NCLEX (and thus Pearson and the PVT) are national. However each state has rules about releasing results or a license. You can pass the test and still not a get a license if your state finds something in your...

OP-you are arguing with two of the most knowledgeable nurses on this subject on these forums and you continue to argue "just cos"?? Fresh out of school, just took the exam, the trick worked for you and so you just assume it is going to work for the ...

Klone--Yes! Be a nurse manager in LD at a place that pays was better than hca then hire me! :-) I really like my job, but the pay sucks!

I have been on these forums for over a year and these are some of the best Kaplan scores I have seen! Panic is normal...stress is normal. is an (insert really dirty word) because the boards he had to take two days before NCLEX were a piece of ca...

I was SO sure I failed that I got up the next morning, went to the library and started studying again. And the morning after that as well! When the quick results came that afternoon and I passed, I was so stunned I walked out of the library and l...

Best of luck. Ummm...et your alarm, your back up alarm and tell your mom to call to be sure you are awake!!!! my biggest fear with a morning test was oversleeping (but I didn't)

I honestly don't think it was you, I think it's the experience box. If you don't have any, the computer trashes the application. Seriously consider taking your resume into the NM. it worked for my classmates and me last year. We all got hire...

This isn't exactly negative, because I am positive you are going to feel like you know absolutely nothing, and that will scare and frustrate you. (sorry)....First thing you do--before you even start working, is grab a couple of your classmates who a...
