    My nclex shut off at 85!

    Extra Pickles replied to nasr69's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The PVT, pearson vue trick, is what you did 2 hours after the exam, not results. the OP asked about Quick Results, which is available through Pearson Vue 48 hours after the test is done if you are...

    help! I am foreigner!

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

    You know of ADN programs that only require one semester of prerequisite courses before being admitted to the nursing program? That's pretty unusual! A year is typical, a year and a half not unusual...

    Deciding which branch to be a nurse for

    Extra Pickles replied to jknotts's topic in Government, Military

    With all due respect, you in your mid-thirties now and just starting prerequisites. At best you will be in your late thirties before completing your nursing degree. I don't know if experience will be...

    Body temperature difference( right part is colder than left part)

    Extra Pickles replied to Shubhampareek's topic in General Nursing

    Probably what he means is that his left hand is always colder than is right, his left foot is always colder than his right, like

    I m crazing for my Nclex Rn, help me plz..

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

    I don't think it's that we need the OP to write in his native language so that we can get it translated, it's that the NCLEX is an English language exam and if he doesn't speak it, read it, or write...

    Annoying words/behaviours during report

    Extra Pickles replied to NewRN'16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't find words annoying so much as hearing repeatedly the same information as though I am unable to retain it from one day to the next. Like when the nurse handing off to me tells me the...

    Getting around the 18 y.o requirement

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

    Then it's also worth noting that in many cases when foreign graduates look for licensing in the US, nursing or medicine, they find that their education is missing components that are required here....

    Tattoos

    Extra Pickles replied to nicolereynen's topic in General Nursing

    Another one of those It Depends posts. As for whether nurses are allowed tattoos, I suppose you could get one on your butt and dare administration to force you to remove it. But you'd have to show...

    recently let go of a job

    Extra Pickles replied to Starseed6389's topic in General Nursing

    Holy Moly do you have any actual advice for the OP or did you just want to complain about why you have gotten fired and can't find work???? You made this thread instantly about you and that's unfair...

    Extra Pickles replied to Cecegirl1030's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    4 days as a lonnnggg time is relative lol, would you still be breathing if you had to wait 6 weeks or so for a paper test to be graded and results mailed to you like in The Old Days??? Go relax,

    Service dogs in interviews

    Extra Pickles replied to emmafleur18's topic in General Students

    I'm going to ask some questions to fulfill my role as Devil's Advocate. I'm not knocking anyone's right to have a service dog with them if they must have a service dog in order to be at their jobs,...

    NCLEX RN 6th time and Ran out of time

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

    Yes you do know what you should do, you just don't want to accept it. Your desire to be a nurse is so great that you can't see reality right in front of you. Please give yourself a break walk away...

    Malpractice insurance?

    Extra Pickles replied to Mockingjay's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't laid out every instance in which I understand my policy does and does not cover me. I'm only saying that when a new nurse is making the decision on whether to obtain malpractice insurance...

    help! I am foreigner!

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

    To use an American expression you are putting the cart before the horse. This means that you are jumping ahead to details before they will do you any good. 10 people here could give you 10 answers to...

    Billing new grads for not completing orientation?

    Extra Pickles replied to Pachinko's topic in General Nursing

    I think this makes it abundantly clear for those who still insist that there's a national shortage of nurses that obviously there is not. If hospitals can afford to have such a contract in place it...

    Malpractice insurance?

    Extra Pickles replied to Mockingjay's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to take a guess that you are asking this question of me and not the others. If so, I think you already safely know that I am not one of your colleagues. Otherwise, I would be saying...

    For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

    Extra Pickles replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I'll offer up one then. How about needing to know how to write one's own name in script lettering, an actual official signature? There is a generation today who when they need to sign a legal document...

    Confused and discourage

    Extra Pickles replied to gjmaxe's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm confused too but probably for different reasons. You're disappointed you didn't qualify for an RN program, ok. But if you want to be a nurse you did get into a program, so why are you now talking...

    Nursing application!!!!

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

    If you already wrote it and are asking for it to be critiqued you have to post it so we can read it. Otherwise this looks like you are asking us to write it for

    Hey has anyone taken microbiology online with lab that didnt need a lab kit??!

    Extra Pickles replied to shasaynee's topic in General Students

    You're a little hard to follow but I think you're trying to find a microbiology course that is acceptable to your nursing program but don't want to spend the money for the lab kit, or the time for the...

    Pinning Ceremony Troubles

    Extra Pickles replied to JackDaniels's topic in General Students

    I second Double Helix. You're asking us if there is anything you can do about changing the date, but we have no control at all. In fact, it's you who has the ability to speak with administration to...

    What is the mark to pass to next semester for the pn program?

    Extra Pickles replied to vanessaaa's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You must maintain at least a 104% average, with no one grade slipping below a 100%. Seriously, do you think there is only one practical nursing program in the entire United States (or Canada)??? How...
