    nursing for money

    Extra Pickles replied to spark1's topic in General Nursing

    You I know if you had just switched the two positions around, and were talking about the nurses who went into it with a passion and a calling being the ones who burnt out first I could have written it...

    Why so much Negativity in Nursing?

    Extra Pickles replied to lindsayCalifornia's topic in General Nursing

    Helping people through the best and worst moments of their lives has been important to me and so has been earning the best income possible. Know this: I would not do this job for less money than I...

    nursing for money

    Extra Pickles replied to spark1's topic in General Nursing

    I work because I need money to live in the world, not having been born into a royal family. I work in nursing because I like it better than child care or fast food or retail, having done them all. I...

    My NCLEX Experience: Preparations, Study Tips, and Acing the Exam

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

    90 questions means nothing more than you got 90 questions. It is not an indicator of pass or fail. And yes of course people have passed at 90 and failed it 90 just like they have passed and failed at...

    Nursing School versus Nclex

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

    Doesn't sound like you are in too good of a program. What is the NCLEX passing rate at your school? What has the rate been for the last few years? If they are not preparing you well, you will have to...

    Is Nutrition course really the hardest course?

    Extra Pickles replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    well I guess if you have a teacher from hell even a cakewalk class could become more difficult. Even so, nutrition as a college subject IS an easier course than just about any nursing course I can...

    Is Nutrition course really the hardest course?

    Extra Pickles replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a nutrition course that was a fluffy filler elective, can't imagine in what universe it is harder than microbiology or A&P 2. You must go to an interesting

    Forced out to pasture

    Extra Pickles replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Except we don't have a nursing shortage anymore, which is why they can get away with this so easily. There are plenty of new, younger nurses, new grads waiting to snap up jobs at half the cost of the...

    Pearson Vue Trick "Facts"

    Extra Pickles replied to cnurse515's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I thought that you had to pay the license fee to california first before you can get the license number? License number, not file number. Did you pay $200 for a new exam? Or try the PVT using wrong...

    Catholic Nurse Sues Duke University Hospital After Refusing to Assist with Abortions

    Extra Pickles replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Something tells me that if she had received a promotion she wouldn't be quite so "traumatized" by her experiences at Duke. Not promotable and required extensive orientation, sure sounds like a...

    You completed an exam that had at a minimum 75 questions in only 18 minutes? And during these 18 minutes you had 3 bathroom breaks? Considering the time it takes to be excused from the room, go to...

    Can I Transfer my NCLEX results?

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

    You don't. You apply for a license to a specific State Board of Nursing. That state then authorizes you to take the test for them. The results are sent to them. Then that state either issues you or...

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

    She can apply to take the NCLEX, apply for a license in any state in which she meets the eligibility standard. What she wants to do is pass the NCLEX, get a license in another state, then endorse back...

    Lpn to Rn

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

    No, this is incorrect. An RN program that ends in an Associate Degree is a "2-year" program, although one typically has to do a year or more of pre-requisite courses prior to acceptance into the...

    Audit nursing class in all unsuccessful area of the NCLEX- RN?

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

    I don't understand what you are asking. A review course prior to taking the NCLEX is a good idea in my opinion, and if you have failed the NCLEX already then its an even stronger suggestion. I don't...
