    PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    The PVT was never meant to happen. It was not some trick invented to give us results before the 48 hour quick results were ready, it was a computer glitch that allowed us the peace of mind of finding out early if we most likely passed. Therefore it i...

    Look who's back..back again...Jahi's back...

    A few months ago they went to court to try to convince the judge that Jahi is alive. If she were alive, they can bring her home to Cali and they can sue for unlimited millions. Since she is dead, they must stay in one of the 2 states that make le...

    failed nclex 5 times

    You graduated 4 years ago and failed 5 times. In my opinion you should take a review course. I know that is not cheap but after 4 years and that many failures it is pretty clear that you are missing something. Contact your school (or any school...

    NCLEX - what the heck?!

    ALL numbers are emotional on NCLEX. People pass and fail at 75, at 265, and at any number in between. Go do something fun for two days and if your state offers quick results you will know in 48 hours.

    Denver School Of Nursing vs Front Range Community College

    We got into a similar conversation at work-a CNA I am friendly with wants to go to nursing school and was considering DSN. Well...2015 NCLEX pass rates came out and DSN has a pass rate of only 78%. That in my opinion would make me run as far and f...

    nclex result! help

    OP, most of us cry! Sorry, but no one on here is going to be able to tell you if you passed or failed. If anyone tries, it would be a guess. If you were a good student, did well in school on exams and really knew your content, there's a great ch...

    ADNs have a tough time getting a hospital job here, but LTC, SNF, and clinics are easier.

    Oh No! I got 265 questions on NCLEX!

    Great post! And Congrats! I did all 265 and passed as well. I was so sure I failed that I spent the two days in the library studying to take it again. The test is a monster that steals your soul and crushes your confidence, but it's worth it. I l...

    Scheduling NCLEX vs being prepared enough - question

    If you are not able to go back and study what you got wrong, then I would say postpone. In my opinion, it is better to reschedule and give yourself plenty of opportunity to prepare than to fail.

    Nursing Textbooks

    Your fundamental and assessment books will be used for more than one class, as will med surg and possibly pharmacology. The other books are going to be used for one semester only. Those that you need for one semester can be rented at a huge discou...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    They go to court tomorrow! The judge made a statement that looks like CHO and Dr. Rosen will prevail and unless there is compelling evidence, he isn't going to consider overriding the death certificate. I'm hoping if the malpractice suit doesn't ge...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    Nails was drinking and partying on some rooftop bar in NYC last weekend. A friend of hers put loads of photos on instagram and someone commented that it was for single ladies only, indicating the possibility that Marv has left the building.

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    Professor Pope posted both Dr. Rosen's and CHOs response to the scamily's nonsense on his website. The one from Dr. Rosen's lawyer is the best read. They both say essentially the same thing, but that one actually says that they should not litigat...

    New Grad outlook in Denver

    Last year when I was anew grad, it was not terrible, but a lot of my classmates got hired at places where they did clinicals. A lot of others walked their resumes in. The online application process is very unfriendly to anyone without experience...
  21. I am guessing that if you were vomiting, you had to keep leaving the room. Therefore they are going to need to check videos, etc to be sure there was not a security violation or something that would indicate possible cheating. If they have to rev...

    ADN vs. BSN

    There is no difference based on your degree. Some schools prepare you better than others, so checking NCLEX pass rates for schools that offer the different programs is what you want to look at.

    Sigh. 265 questions. Sitting in traffic crying

    I passed with 265. I was so sure I failed that I started studying the next day. I think everyone feels that way. Wait for the quick results and let us know how it goes.

    nclex-RN in 4 days

    The SATA on Kaplan are a lot like those on the actual test. Some people manage to pass their first time without studying at all, others (like me) need a month or more of dedicated study. Take one of the predictor tests (Kaplan has them, Hurst doe...
