    HELP....I still want to be a RN

    Extra Pickles replied to gmonee33's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You asked for some really good advice. I'm going to give you some excellent advice. If you want to be a nurse at this point go back to a nursing school. Start over, do it again. Seriously, 23 years...

    Attention need advice please!!

    Extra Pickles replied to latashaNS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first suggestion would be to edit your post and change your user name, you might find that having your full name known on a website as large as this isn't a good idea. Just a word of caution....

    Am I worth being a nurse?

    Extra Pickles replied to beautyofnursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Online programs are for people who already hold nursing licenses and wish to get a higher degree. You cannot attend nursing school online to become a nurse in the first place. Hands-On is necessary...

    Help!! I'm not sure I can / should finish nursing school!!

    Extra Pickles replied to ReflectiveHope's topic in General Students

    Don't sell yourself short. Like the others here said, you're predicting a dismal outcome based on nothing at all. Some of the very students you admire as having all the answers might turn out to be...

    Choice of 2 different courses

    Extra Pickles replied to Irishlad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I think you'd probably get the most useful information if you posted these questions in the World Nursing forum, this one tends to be very USA-centric. A consideration to mention before I go...

    When do nursing programs do drug tests?

    Extra Pickles replied to helloego's topic in General Students

    So OP, what do you think of all this? Since now you know you can get tested upon acceptance and/or at the start of a semester and/or at the start of a new clinical placement and/or at the end and/or...

    After NCLEX fear

    Extra Pickles replied to ermerm0213's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In my opinion anyone who has a brand new license and on their first job who doesn't have that fear is a walking danger zone. Of course you are afraid of what you don't know. You don't know much yet,...

    Extra Pickles replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    When do nursing programs do drug tests?

    Extra Pickles replied to helloego's topic in General Students

    Maybe a better question than when they do drug testing is when are you planning to quit using drugs? Based on this thread, you could get tested at the beginning, part way through, the middle, the end,...

    Extra Pickles replied to nur215's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    whatever you did the first two times didn't work so you now need to go a different direction. I would think that the desire to pass the exam and become a nurse would be enough motivation, if it isn't...

    Extra Pickles replied to Mimi9874's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    265 questions means that you were inconsistently above and below the passing standard the entire test, determination couldn't be made before that point. People pass and people fail having taken the...

    how to write the exam

    Extra Pickles replied to Mbabilla Christian's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Foreign students often say "write the exam" when a native would say "take the exam" or "sit for the exam". A whole lotta verbs to equate with answering

    When I use the word "care" in the context of patient care, I always mean in the nursing sense not in the emotional sense, and that is what EVERY good nurse should be striving for. One can emotionally...

    I PROVIDE them with good care, even excellent care. I do not get emotionally attached which is what is implied when you say "care about your patients". I care that they get better, I am invested in...
