    If I cannot get into a university should I look into private schools to get my BSN

    Extra Pickles replied to hollycamillex3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, you aren't throwing away anything by getting an Associates in Nursing first rather than a BSN. The courses you took as pre-requisites for a nursing program are going to be needed in either...

    Salary and opinions on BSN degrees.

    Extra Pickles replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ok I get that but you didn't answer any of the questions. Forget how many extra courses you have been taking for now, and figure out what you want to DO with nursing. You're asking about military...

    If I cannot get into a university should I look into private schools to get my BSN

    Extra Pickles replied to hollycamillex3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a difference between private and for-profit, and it's a huge thing to consider and be cautious about. Paying extra money for a private school so that you can get into the workforce faster is...

    Is my textbook wrong?

    Extra Pickles replied to mcclasl's topic in General Students

    Hmmm. Not a dead horse, maybe only wounded lol! I did some Googling around after reading your post, and I now believe the issue is as clear as mud. Examples for one are sometimes used for the...

    I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    Extra Pickles replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    Something isn't adding up right in the OP's posts because the first time through she said it was the last half hour of the LAST day that week, but then said she found out five days later, which...

    I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    Extra Pickles replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ, but an exit interview can be a very useful expense of time! She has no way of knowing at this moment if she'll get a generic wishy-washy response like "you weren't a good fit", but...

    Is my textbook wrong?

    Extra Pickles replied to mcclasl's topic in General Students

    No, the other way around is correct. Think of a scenario in which two people are sitting together, one is expressing how she feels at having her beloved cat die. The other person, who has ALSO had a...

    Trying to pass NCLEX

    Extra Pickles replied to Markel123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So you are doing the same thing over and over and expecting it to work out better, and we know how that goes. By "the same thing" I mean you are using self-study books and seem to be studying the...

    any state I can take NCLEX after 6 years of grad w/o retaking the whole nursing prog?

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

    somebody was posting about this on another thread and it included new grads. If I'm remembering it correctly it was Georgia who wouldn't give a license by endorsement until the applicant had...

    congratulations!

    Extra Pickles replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea if you will see this as constructive (which is how it is meant) or demeaning or ridiculing (which is not how it is meant) but in any event my thoughts are that you must have done...

    10 months as An assistant nurse, still getting scolded.. so discouraging..

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

    I think that based on all the posts from the OP, other threads, that it's reasonable to say that she herself doesn't feel like this is a good fit for her either. Confirming that would go a long way...

    i took my exam on march 1 2017 and it shutoff at 75 ...i am scared waiting for my result..

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

    SATA questions, drag and drop, no difference as far as the test goes. You can have an easy SATA and a hard multiple choice, doesn't mean anything how many you got of anything, counting is a waste of...

    Pearson Vue Trick NCLEX RN 2017 265 Questions Wisconsin

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

    I don't understand why you would try the trick day and night, if you are doing the game to make yourself feel better that much I understand but it is NOT making you feel better, you're like an addict...

    Nclex PN 2017

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

    PVT is a game. Most who put their credit card information and get a message saying they can't make another registration pass. It's just a game people play with the registration program. No one can...

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

    ok so maybe they didn't? Were you a barely-passing student and so it's likely you failed this? Do you feel like you failed because you actually know you aren't likely to pass? What's the pass rate in...

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

    results on hold, I just responded to someone else about this. It only means that your exam is being reviewed and confirmed for validity. In other words you might have finished quicker than usual or...

    NCLEX--- SHUT OFF AT 95 Questions!!

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

    six-8 weeks for results and the test was offered only twice a year. Testers would travel to venues large enough to hold them, stadiums even, for hours-long exams with paper and pencil. 48 hours...

    Medical Assisting or RN?

    Extra Pickles replied to Cruisin1313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In both of your posts here you stress the need to NOT work nights, weekends or holidays and if you go into nursing you just have to expect that this will be what you WILL be working. Yes of course...

    Salary and opinions on BSN degrees.

    Extra Pickles replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It looks like you've been asking a lot of basic questions for nearly two years now, are you almost done with the pre-requisites? A lot of your questions are all over the map really, but the inquiry...

    NCLEX--- SHUT OFF AT 95 Questions!!

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

    1. Getting the last question right doesn't mean anything. 2. Getting a SATA question means nothing. Just a format type, means nothing more than getting a multiple choice question. 3. since doing the...

    Results on hold pop up

    Extra Pickles replied to FutureNurse1016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    you're posting on some pretty old threads, you might not hear back from people who haven't been here in months or years. But maybe I can help with some of that anxiety. HOLD is placed on any exam...

    Nclex RN results

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

    Getting the last question right or wrong doesn't mean anything for this kind of testing. What does mean something is that you got only the minimum number of questions which means you either nailed...

    Is it safe going into RT?

    Extra Pickles replied to navywife16's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if it's phased out so much as cut back. Hospitals in my area employ fewer RTs than they used to because they add to the expense of the hospital and RNs CAN do what they do usually in the...

    10 months as An assistant nurse, still getting scolded.. so discouraging..

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

    My guess is that if she doesn't correct the problem that caused her coworker to make that very inappropriate response, she won't be talking with HR about her co-worker, she will instead be meeting...
