    Nclex on Saturday.Please pray for me

    I won't pray for you but I will wish you the very best of luck!

    Nclex pn exam stopped at 85 questions!

    think of it this way, you got only the minimum number of questions, which means you either nailed it or you bombed it. What kind of a student were you in school? if you give yourself an honest...

    Pearson Vue Trick did NOT work for me and I PASSED!

    When you said you did the pvt "up to the final submit and it did not work for me", are you saying that you CLICKED that final submit, and were charged $200? If so, then there's proof that the pvt did...
  4. It has taken some people's money even though they passed the test because you submitted valid credit card info and the card can get charged because of that. doesn't happen often it seems but it can...

    Pearson Vue Trick did NOT work for me and I PASSED!

    You were also one click away from doing it correctly. The "pop up" everyone talks about ONLY HAPPENS AFTER you have entered all that information, AND CLICK SUBMIT. THEN and only then do you either get...
  7. honestly this is the part that gets me, when I see posts that say "I'm a nurse in my heart" or "if I could just pass the NCLEX on my XXth try I'd be an awesome nurse". Licenses don't exist in...
  8. I like what Meriwhen said, but with one caveat. Students who do lousy in school don't graduate school to become nurses in the first place. Lousy implies awful, and awful students fail, they don't...

    NCLEX RN 14 times

    sianee has had multiple threads over the last few months, saying she has failed the nclex after yet another 45 day waiting period. Repeats test every 45 days, fails every 45 days. Something isn't...

    "Final Review" on BON after NCLEX?

    Some states only deal with the background checks, fingerprinting and such after the NCLEX results show you passed. They don't invest in checking out your application fully until you demonstrate you...

    Hospitals Paying for nursing school?

    my advice would be to be very very wary of any hospital that is willing to pay your way through nursing school without you already being employed there. First, they have no idea if you are going to...
  12. What he said. You failed the clinical part twice of what is really a very basic exam (basic in terms of looking toward getting into an accelerated nursing program). A nursing aide certification...

    registration issue

    I'm sorry I'm not in Canada so really not who should be answering you but I hate to see your posts just sitting here not getting an answer! Please forgive my questions, but I want to be sure I am...

    NEW RN TASK

    I second this. The most common theme from a new nurse is that they are drowning in paperwork and have more patients than time. Getting medications done while getting treatments done while getting...

    are ATI's rigged?

    Not all nursing programs are created to be equal. Some are very good at preparing students to enter nursing practice and some are lousy. Don't know if you had a great program and you're screwing up...

    FAST NCLEX RESULTS

    I've read other people's stories of trying to do this and finding out that the BON doesn't want to get swamped with anxiety-ridden applicants so they won't take those calls. Automated system will...
  18. I think I would have offered to perform CPR on the daughter since she was so adamant that someone do that today lol, she needed it about as much as her
  19. I was enjoying this thread and didn't think I had much of anything to share at least nothing was coming to mind, and then I get one! Patient's mother wants to go to the cafeteria but doesn't know...

    ED Nurse moving to Florida

    Simple, no, because providing all the information that the application will want, including proof of equivalent education is never simple! But since she asked what the process was, that's the cruxt...

    ED Nurse moving to Florida

    In order to work as a nurse in the state of Florida, you will need a license to practice in that state. Start by going to the Board of Nursing website for Florida, look over the license application...

    Value of Student Nurses Association membership?

    maybe it's different now than when I graduated. Belonging to a student nurse association had no use whatsoever in landing a job and it didn't do anything for me personally either. But since today...

    School project

    Lots of good answers! I'll go from another angle. 1) what advice to u have for new grads heading into there first nursing job? First and foremost I'd expect a new grad to be able to write well in...
  24. I think I need something clarified please. You posted on January 27th that you failed math, which dropped your GPA to 2.6. You said you retook 'the test" (final?) and failed again. hen you said on...
