  1. RN license

    April, RN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    It took 4 days after I found out I passed for my license number to be posted on the BON website. I just got my actual license in the mail yesterday (7/23) and I tested on June

  2. kicked out of tech job

    April, RN replied to Nurseismade RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The OP originally asked about legality so that's why I posted that it is legal to work as a tech with an RN license in MA. I know it is because I am in MA and had looked into this issue myself. I...

  3. kicked out of tech job

    April, RN replied to Nurseismade RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm pretty sure it's legal in MA to work as a tech with an RN license, it might just be your hospital's policy to not allow it. Good luck with your job

  4. who has taken CNA classes???

    April, RN replied to Ladycat092's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I took a CNA class at the Red Cross before I went to nursing school. It was CNA and Home Health Aide together. It was awhile ago now but I think it was something like 5 hours a day, 4 days a week,...

  5. Pregnancy is not a disease!!! (vent)

    April, RN replied to RN4life#1's topic in General Nursing

    You had legitimate problems during your pregnancy and it's unfortunate that your employer terminated you because of that. However, the pregnant people that are being discussed in this thread DO NOT...

  6. Pregnancy is not a disease!!! (vent)

    April, RN replied to RN4life#1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that women not standing up for each other is the issue here. Many work places do make accomodations for pregnant employees and I think most of us would have no problem helping out a...

  7. Havent finsihed school yet, can I take nclex in different state?

    April, RN replied to Krissyone's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CT and RI also have graduate nurse status so if you find an internship or new grad position in one of those states, you can be working as a grad nurse while you prepare to take your

  8. please help me

    April, RN replied to Ladycat092's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi, In MA, you are not required to be a CNA before becoming an RN or starting nursing school, but it is very good experience. Have you tried calling your school's nursing program or looking up...

  9. Bombed that one!

    April, RN replied to Justme123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX last month and it shut off at 75 questions in about 45 minutes. I felt the same way as you. I didn't feel like my questions were all that hard. At first I was like wow, that wasnt...

  10. Passed NCLEX!!!

    April, RN replied to chill598's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  11. PASSED with 75 and VATI

    :balloons: congrats!

  12. Did anyone here take the Hesi before taking nclex?

    April, RN replied to NurseEmily22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school made us take the HESI before graduation and I scored a 975. I didn't study for the HESI, but we did have to do a review from the Saunder's CD once a week so I'm sure that helped. I passed...

  13. I know this is wrong - but how wrong is it?

    April, RN replied to papergirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is what I was thinking, too. It is really hard (if not impossible) to work in a hospital and be unaware of HIPAA. If she's blatantly violating HIPAA like that, what other rules and policies is...

  14. Did you get 265? Did you pass?

    April, RN replied to Abigail25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Four people in my class so far have taken 265 questions and all have

  15. Saunders Nclex Review too easy?

    April, RN replied to samaletta's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Have you tried using the Saunder's CD that comes with the book? There are thousands of practice questions on there and many of them are more challenging than the few that are at the end of each...

  16. CNA while going through nursing school? good or bad idea?

    April, RN replied to Tealeaf72's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I agree 100% with the advice that ANB85 has given, but I just wanted to add that while nursing assistants do a lot more of the "dirty work" on a daily basis, nurses still do perform those duties. Bed...

  17. I can't get into study mode 4 the NCLEX-RN. I need advice and study tips

    April, RN replied to brwnsuga83's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi there! I graduated in May too and like you, I NEVER wanted to look at another book again! I was just so unmotivated to study. For me, doing practice questions on the computer was much more...

  18. Another question for those who have taken the test.

    April, RN replied to Justme123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would say the questions are more application/analysis based like what are you going to do first, who are you going to see first, what would the nurse be most concerned about. You obviously need to...

  19. what's worse the anxiety before the exam or waiting for the results?

    April, RN replied to NurseEmily22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This sounds exactly like what I felt like after my test. The wait is definately the
