    verified perception of near death experience

    Extra Pickles replied to TrumpOnRoids's topic in General Nursing

    I watched a PBS documentary a few months ago on the topic, it was an in-depth presentation of studies on this topic with video of the subjects undergoing the simulation (making them anoxic, etc before...

    NCLEX shut off at 135 questions

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

    I can't figure out why people do the PVT and then continue to freak out. Either you believe it works and you have your answer or you believe it doesn't work in which case why do it at all? Yes,...

    Extra Pickles replied to cmcc5's topic in General Nursing

    What Ms. Otter said :) You're applying to the PA board of nursing for a license but you can register to take the exam anywhere there is a PearsonVue testing center. Good

    ABSN applications

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

    Interesting, haven't heard of that. Since the point of the ABSN is to skip all the general courses needed for the Bachelor's part of the BSN, it's interesting to see ABSN programs that will do what...

    Extra Pickles replied to coleen2794's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Personally? No. If people would just relax after playing the Trick and they weren't out any money then sure. But this forum is chock full of people who do the PVT over and over and over again and...

    does the pvt still work?

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

    it's not that it works or doesn't work, it's a game. It's rare for someone to pass and still be able to register for another exam and most of the time getting a Card Declined notice means you failed...

    Denied entracne into ASN program...story with questions

    Extra Pickles replied to bullery1986's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Maybe the school is basing their admission policy on what their experience has been with clinical sites and maybe even the Board of Nursing. Individual facilities get to determine who is granted...

    Pearson Vue Trick NCLEX RN 2017 265 Questions Wisconsin

    Extra Pickles replied to lischka11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ales and doca, please stop trying to give payment to Pearson Vue, one of these times they might just take it! If the PVT isn't giving you any peace of mind, stop doing it. California BON is pretty...

    nclex pn. Stopped at 86?

    Extra Pickles replied to coleen2794's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Check your board of nursing website, they are the agency that grants you a license, not Pearson Vue. How long it takes depends on the state, California seems to be the one that takes the longest,...

    Classmate Spilled Coffee On My Laptop - Broken

    I've read through all the responses and I just don't understand the position some people have that since it was not an intentional spill but rather an accident that the person who spilled the coffee...

    ABSN applications

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

    If you think of what an ABSN program actually IS, you'll understand why you aren't able to apply yet. The reasons an accelerated BSN program exists is to allow those students who already have a...

    Extra Pickles replied to er.mere's topic in General Nursing

    To clarify, you don't use nail files your nails grow out or if you have a rough edge? Wouldn't using files in between manicures also create the opening where bacteria as well as solvent can get in?...

    Extra Pickles replied to itara888's topic in International Nursing

    You came here to say that you have been banned from working as a nurse in an entire country because of fraudulent documentation. What is it that you think we will be able to do for you? We cannot...

    California marijuana legalization

    Extra Pickles replied to Elky's topic in General Nursing

    I'm assuming since your user ID has RN in it, you're an RN. Therefore you would have invested a number of years in nursing school, so this is not a new and shocking topic. Certainly throughout your...

    Don't do the physicians work!

    Extra Pickles replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Reminds me of the frequent complaint of the nursing aides, the care techs, who insist that they do "all the work and the nurses just sit there at their computers doing nothing". Yes, that's exactly...

    PVT Trick in less than 24hours indeed took $200 (what the odds of passing?

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

    There is no way to know the "odds" but from reading this board, anecdotally, I'd say your chances of having passed are really very small. It's not impossible but it's very unlikely. You will receive...

    BSN salary?

    Extra Pickles replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, but she did ask about nursing salaries for a BSN and it sounded like she was hearing a lot of personal stories about how bad nursing pay is "in general". I thought it better to give the wider...
