Do they require BSN degree for this kind of position?

PI = principal investigator

Yeah, I guess that means a bad "pop-up". Though you better wait for the official results.

Congrats! Good job :-)

I wouldn't rely on this trick. In my case it haven't worked - got "fail" pop-up, though I actually passed NCLEX... maybe it depends on the state

I can imagine how frustrating it is. Nevertheless, you should stay positive and move on! What was your score on UWorld questions? Have you read given rationales? It's a great tool in getting ready for NCLEX

Please, don't be despaired! This trick doesn't work with 100% accuracy. This summer I took my NCLEX-RN and passed it with 75 questions. I was trying Pearson Vue trick 1 hour, 3-4 hours and 24 hours after exam: every time only a "bad" pop up! Paid for quick results after 48 hours, and received confirmation - passed! Same story happened to one my peer, so ... please, don't give up all your hope!

Have you registered on Professional Credential Services, Inc. website? There you can see if BON had received your papers, you can email them, ask questions, etc.

I learned how to calculate acid-base balance, just following the fact that CO2 is an acid, and HCO3 is a base. Then, knowing the normal range numbers, it's very easy to figure out the result :-)

I would stay away from this girl, she seems to be very pushy and demanding. The best is to redefine the boundaries you want followed in your communication. Avoid feeling guilty as it might encourage her to continue manipulating you.

I can confirm that Boston is a very expensive place to live. At the same time, Brigham along with MGH are known to be the most desirable hospitals to work! In terms of clinical experience, work conditions and benefits.

I just wonder how someone can expect this patient to nurse ratio would work out in real life... Unbelievable!

This year APN "daytime" program will be run in the evenings... Clinicals are not announced yet, though they are supposed to begin on the 2nd or 3rd week of September.

Thanks for the reply. I plan to work weekends plus one evening during the week. Which exams were quite difficult? For nursing classes?

Thanks for the encouragement! I do plan to work at least 16-24 hours a week, and will take sick days when necessary. Our first orientation on August 19th, we'll see the schedule.

Wow... do you mean that 30 out of 92 dropped out before the end of the year? I've completed all core curriculum classes. What is left - concepts of client care with Lab and clinical hours. I hope this helps a little.

I see, it's pretty tough. How did you guys manage to study and work? Or most of students haven't been working?

Well, the full-time program was announced as "students must be available Monday-Friday from 7:00am-3:00pm"... what about those students who can't make weekends due to some other reasons - religious reasons for example?

Thanks! How many weekends did you have with clinical? And which evening was the least busy? Actually I plan to have one working evening during the week and to work every weekend

Hello Everybody! I'm starting full-time LPN-RN program at Quincy College this September. Please, share your experience - how was it? I need to know if I can keep my 3-11 shifts during the week. What is the schedule of studies in this program? Any info would be useful. Thank you in advance!
