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

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

    Yes, thank you for the clarification about the nursing titles. So it is established then that the OP is a nurse. Okay. Then what we have here is a nurse who failed to respond in an emergency...

    Nursing School Dismissal Issue

    Extra Pickles replied to lwillis3's topic in General Students

    Only thing an attorney would do for that meeting would be to shut it down instantly. Can't think of a worse thing to bring to this meeting than an attorney! That just puts the school immediately on...

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

    by now hopefully you have passed, wannabe! I really hope no one else gets scared off by this story of 13 or 14 fails, it obviously just increases anxiety in those who are preparing to test. Advice...

    Failed NCLEX 11 times.

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

    Your user name says that you are an RN, but you can't be if you are still studying for the NCLEX. You also shouldn't be using your personal email on this website, you should expect it to be removed...

    My hair is dyed.. Job interview

    Extra Pickles replied to mallerina87's topic in General Nursing

    And I'd say you have a very idealistic view of the employment process. It's idealistic to say that hair and body ink shouldn't matter, and I happen to agree with you. But reality is that it does...

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

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

    if you are working in the United States, you are a nursing assistant, not an assistant nurse. This might seem like an unimportant difference but actually it is important. You said you got out of...

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

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

    I'm trying to understand something, so I looked at your other post from October in which you say you are fresh out of nursing school, but you posted that in the Medical Assistant/CNA forum. Do you...

    Types of certifications

    Extra Pickles replied to Lala72's topic in General Nursing

    Most certifications that are of interest to hiring managers are the ones that you can get only after you have had time in the specialty, accumulated a certain number of hours before taking the...

    Failed NCLEX 11 times.

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

    I seem to remember someone here talking about that very thing, needing to submit a study plan or something similar to the BON so that they could be considered for a 4th attempt. Don't remember the...

    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

    If your state participates in the Quick Results program with Pearson Vue you can go to the PV site and pay $8 for test results 48 hours after you tested. If your state doesn't use this program then...

    My hair is dyed.. Job interview

    Extra Pickles replied to mallerina87's topic in General Nursing

    You can never go wrong by going with the conservative approach. You CAN go wrong with the funky hair color and piercings if the person who is interviewing you doesn't like them. Why take the chance...

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

    Giving a little thought to theology at the moment and thinking that if someone does the same thing over and over and continues to fail, would they blame the Almighty for failing? Or would passing on...

    What is a good state for the Rn nclex

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

    excellent point about the minimum paid hours thing, I didn't know that! I wonder if that's a new BON requirement to get past people who have not met their own BON's requirements for a license and...

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

    oh for heaven's sake this isn't bullying by any stretch of the imagination! If you think telling someone that they are not giving out correct information and then providing the correct information is...

    Need Advice! What are my chances of getting into a program?

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

    The answer to every one of your questions will depend on the individual school you want to go to. Some are exceptionally competitive and will not accept less than straight A's for pre-requisites and...

    What is a good state for the Rn nclex

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

    You aren't understanding something, it seems. New York DOES allow unlimited attempts at the NCLEX, which is why so many who can't get a license in another state seek one from New York. You CAN apply...

    What is a good state for the Rn nclex

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

    Completely and entirely untrue. Everything you wrote is incorrect, with perhaps the exception that Florida allows only 3 attempts at the exam, which has nothing to do with the ease or difficulty of...

    Extra Pickles replied to DiplomaNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    unfortunately those who are most in need to backing off of the high-stress of whatever nursing job htey are in don't seem to recognize this. It's those around the nurse who do and don't know what to...

    Pearson Vue Trick: Is it accurate? Do you know anyone who paid using their CC and passed?

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

    Doesn't matter if you got one SATA formatted question or 50. Means nothing. More importantly you got only 75 questions, the minimum, which means you either nailed it or bombed it. By registering...

    What is a good state for the Rn nclex

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

    when I was in nursing school we were all told that this is a national test, it's the same test no matter what state you take it in, is this no longer being passed on to students preparing to take the...

    Took NCLEX-RN 198 questions did I fail?

    Extra Pickles replied to Luna42's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just about everyone who takes the NCLEX is pretty sure they failed. Most pass so that means most people who feel like they failed did not. It's a test that creates a lot of anxiety so feeling like...
