    Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

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

    Interestingly, the OP hasn't been back to this thread since she posted it. Everyone is talking to each other, which is fun, but where is the

    registration issue

    Extra Pickles replied to akaur212's topic in Nurse Registration

    I'm just now realizing you are probably talking about Canada. When you said "another state" I thought you mean one in the US. But now I think you meant province. Someone from Canada can best answer...

    registration issue

    Extra Pickles replied to akaur212's topic in Nurse Registration

    Yikes. If I understand you right, you moved from India to work in the US. Unclear if you are saying you took NCLEX, received license in a state (which?) and then moved to another state to work. If...

    Got my 1st official job offer several months before graduation!!

    Extra Pickles replied to LonghornChic's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Now just be careful that along with this job offer doesn't come a lengthy and potentially expensive contract. That's one of the ways new grads get hooked into a job they don't like....

    Extra Pickles replied to shareet's topic in Nurse Registration

    You applied for a license from the state of Kansas, and it was the Kansas Board of Nursing that allowed you to take the NCLEX an it was Kansas that issued you a license to practice in Kansas. That...

    cgfns visa screen problems

    Extra Pickles replied to shareet's topic in Nurse Registration

    The information you received from the board of nursing in Louisiana already told you what you need to do now. Each state has its own board of nursing, and each BON determines what it requires of an...

    My next step?!

    Extra Pickles replied to Shelby2823's topic in General Students

    I don't know what a "Training Nursing School" is. I thought maybe it was the name of the program so I googled it, and nothing. Whatever the name for this school is, did you do any research to see...

    Pearson Vue Trick NCLEX RN 2017 265 Questions Wisconsin

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

    you do not need to get the 265th question correct to pass. You have to be above the passing standard for long enough to reach the 95% certainty of minimum competency. You can do this even if you get...

    been out of rn school for a year and a half...help!!

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

    maybe a live review course would be helpful? Someone to go over what to expect on the exam, cover the overview, so you know where your strengths and weakness are at this time? Or even a tutor,...

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

    Extra Pickles replied to Blondie28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm absolutely notdefending the PVT, lol I think it's a stupid gimmick too! I'm only saying that when you enter invalid info it's a crapshoot, you might get the "card declined" notice ONLY because you...

    Feeling like I failed the NCLEX

    Extra Pickles replied to Beachbum99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The type of question doesn't matter, having a lot of SATA isn't a good sign or a bad sign. It's just a format of question, they are not considered easier or more difficult than any other question....

    Paying off nursing school debt

    Extra Pickles replied to acj108's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like good luck all the way around, but doesn't really help the OP with her question. Can you give some examples of what you did to save the money for school? I think what she's looking for is...

    Extra Pickles replied to Blondie28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did the message tell you to resubmit your card info because you gave invalid info? If so, all you know is that the computer recognized you gave it invalid info. It might have tried to charge it...

    Unofficial results: Fail

    Extra Pickles replied to ladiesman217's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do you mean you paid $8 to Pearson View for the Quick Results? I've never heard of them not being accurate in terms of passing or failing the NCLEX. They are "unofficial" only in that Pearson Vue...

    Gave a med I shouldn't have given... worried about repercussions

    Extra Pickles replied to tired_panda's topic in Patient Medications

    I have a question. If this particular medication is not permitted to be given on this unit, Why was it in the med room or the Pyxis in the first place? If it is against policy for an RN in her unit to...

    Ethics help!

    Extra Pickles replied to KatieFRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not meant as an insult at all, only meant as a quip, guess it fell flat. Reason for the quiip in the first place was that sometimes people do post with RN, LPN, nurse whatever in their user IDs and...

    Friend asked to cheat off me from exam?

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

    In reading this the first thing that popped into my head was if you took out "A&P II and replaced it with "sixth grade math" the rest of it would make a lot more sense. Instead of referring to...

    Extra Pickles replied to ginhotrod99's topic in General Nursing

    You say you have to check your blood pressure every day, is this because your medical provider requested you do this? If so, your medical provider should recommend what kind of equipment you should be...

    Which Nurses Are Unhappy & Why (all levels)

    Extra Pickles replied to Icooka4u's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's the norm for people in general. People like to complain but don't like to offer solutions. People often say they don't like something or how something is done but then don't offer to...

    Cheating in nursing school

    Extra Pickles replied to nursingforme2's topic in General Students

    The typical student doesn't need to go to the bathroom or leave the room to get a drink during any 3 hour time frame, so not sure why that is an issue for those who take that long on an exam. The...
