1. had to answer ALL 265 questions on my NCLEX today...

   Tumbler replied to LUCBSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   It's neither good nor bad. People pass and fail with 265, just like they do with 75. I went all 265 and passed, so I can assure you the number isn't a harbinger of

2. Did 265 questions... the last question was, the nurse is correct if she said. So I failed?

   Tumbler replied to Mshh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Please don"t read so much into the last question. If it's all about the last question, the first 264 didn't matter and neither do the competency areas (unless that last question covers all of them)....

3. "Due to health problems..."

   Tumbler replied to Veigar3's topic in General Students

   "Health problems" like "family emergencies" may or may not be simply excuses. You never know, so it's just better to leave it alone. I had "health problems" in college, fairly significant ones. I...

4. That Magic 1 Year Mark

   Tumbler replied to seasidesoul's topic in First Year After Licensure

   YES! Night shift = depression, at least on your "off" days when you're trying to maintain a night schedule. More than once, I called someone in the middle of the night just sobbing because I couldn't...

5. Thinking about leaving nursing school

   Tumbler replied to Student1713's topic in General Students

   I believe if you are not happy with what you are studying you are right to change majors. If psychology or sociology is your passion, pursue it. I finished a psychology minor and believe me, what my...

6. switch from medical school to nursing?

   Tumbler replied to gj101's topic in General Students

   I've got a friend in chiropractic. She makes way more money than I do. If this is all about the money, you might be happier continuing to work as chiropractor than as an RN. That being said, you are...

7. PhD with no experience

   Tumbler replied to RNanab's topic in General Students

   Since the OP feels it is unlikely she will get the necessary visa to work in this country, why not go for more school? PhD programs are 4-5 years, plenty of time to get some bedside experience doing...

8. Financing your future: How do you afford living expenses while in an ABSN program?

   Tumbler replied to GLMac's topic in General Students

   Or since you already have a bachelor's, have you thought about starting with an ADN from a community college? it'd be a whole lot less than $55k. As it stands, $55K + whatever loans you have now +...

9. Did a low test grade discourage you?

   Tumbler replied to dominiquejade's topic in General Students

   All. The. Time. In fact, I can't remember a single semester where I didn't have at least one test where I thought maybe I should just pack it

10. I got all 265 questions

    Tumbler replied to Highly_Favored's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    People pass all the time with 265. I did. I, however, did not have any faith at all I had done so. In fact, even after seeing my name and license number posted, I paid for quick results because I...

12. Financing Accelerated Nursing School

    Tumbler replied to r2ellie's topic in General Students

    No, my BSN was my first degree, but when I was looking into taking more undergrad courses, I would have had to file an appeal at the state school, even though I wan't even close to the loan limits, as...

13. Financing Accelerated Nursing School

    Tumbler replied to r2ellie's topic in General Students

    You can use a federal loan for whatever you want, but the amount you can borrow is limited. The max you'll be able to get, per year, for your second bachelor's is 11,500, assuming you are independent...

14. Has anyone gone through nursing school with depression?

    Tumbler replied to trapstudent's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    If you're an introvert (being "out there" with people burns energy rather than generates it like being social does for extroverts), you're putting yourself in a position where you will spend twelve...

15. For profit schools/debt/nursing shortage??

    Tumbler replied to BrittanyWilkins's topic in General Students

    How much would you be adding to that existing 20K? If you can keep your total debt under the federal undergrad limit (about 31K), you can probably manage the loan. More than that? Nope, don't do...
