  1. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    XNavyCorpsman replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I love nursing. It took me 30 years to get to nursing school and I couldn't be happier. When I go on job interviews I don't really care what the wage is I am just excited about helping people that...

  2. 4 Days till NCLEX-RN... Thoughts??

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

    Learn how to break the questions down to what specifically they are asking. I don't think doing massive amounts of questions in preparation is the best way to approach a test like the NCLEX. My...

  4. Failed the NCLEX-RN exam on the first time

    XNavyCorpsman replied to buckeyegirl19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are exactly right. You are given enough information in nursing school to pass the NCLEX but I think people lack the skills in answering critical thinking type questions. I took my time with the...

  5. 4 Days till NCLEX-RN... Thoughts??

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

    I also sucked in Pharm. I didn't do any questions from the time I graduated DEC 12, 2014 till I took my test Jan 29th. When you get them questions where you start to get nervous and sweat a little,...

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

    Don't sweat the NCLEX, it is an easy test! Take your time with each question. Break the question down and know exactly what they are asking. If you don't know what they are talking about, say a...

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

    Listen everyone, the NCLEX is an easy test. Don't sweat it because you can always take it over. My suggestion, and this worked for an old man like me, is to learn how to break the question down....

  8. Too old? Too young?? Career? Question:)

    XNavyCorpsman replied to SML456's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I knew I wanted to be a Nurse while in the navy and that was about the age of 20. I finally got around to nursing school and graduated at the ripe old age of 50. I always used myself as an example...

  9. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    XNavyCorpsman replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    To be a Nursing instructor you need to be a ****! We were told that if we were even 1 minute late for clinical you would have to go home. I had two different ways to get to the hospital and both had...

  11. NCLEX befuddled

    XNavyCorpsman replied to Ruadh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is what I did with regards to the NCLEX. All through Nursing school the instructors kept harping on 60 seconds per question to prepare me for the test. The school had someone come in and do a 3...

    XNavyCorpsman replied to Ruadh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I reread your post and you are correct in how the questioning is done. The threshold is +3

  14. NCLEX befuddled

    XNavyCorpsman replied to Ruadh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is not the way the people who are in charge of the NCLEX testing explained it to us. However you want to look at it, the testing is much more difficult post

  15. NCLEX befuddled

    XNavyCorpsman replied to Ruadh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They made the NCLEX much harder in 2013. I believe prior to that it had a threshold of zero and now it is +3. This means if you get 3 questions wrong, you need to get the next 6 questions right....

  16. I need HELP

    XNavyCorpsman replied to Blindstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really don't know what to say.....the first thing I would do, if I were you, is job shadow a nurse for a while to see what nursing is really about. Nursing school is the toughest thing I have ever...

    XNavyCorpsman replied to Lori215's topic in General Students

    XNavyCorpsman replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    You need to look into getting hired by UPMC in Altoona PA. I did 3 semesters of clinical there and they would be a great place to
