    How do I get started??

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

    Meh, I figured someone who is smart enough and organized enough to have studied their butt off for years in nursing school should know the answer to this question, but who knows! Yeah, those are some...

    Don’t know if I have enough passion for nursing

    Extra Pickles replied to Shai1010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Passion is something that my husband and I shared during our courtship and in the early years of our marriage. After a few decades we still have a great love, the love of my life, but the word...

    How do I get started??

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

    Buy a book, enroll in a review course, scheduled time with the tutor, however the heck you want to do it

    After quick results am I a murse?

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

    Murse is not a word. But it sounds like you are on your way to becoming a nurse :-) In most states, eligibility to test is given only after the application is completely processed, background checks...

    NCLEX exam without going to nursing school?

    Extra Pickles replied to Mora101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The short answer is no. But the longer answer is if you live in a state that allows you to use military corpman (medic) experience in lieu of nursing programming, you can challenge a practical nurse...

    Failed nclex multiple times

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

    What you need is a proper education to prepare you to pass this fundamental exam. Closing a school isn't a simple thing, it's not like they didn't check a box on a form and wham they are closed. If...

    Pearson VUE trick 2017 CALIFORNIA

    Extra Pickles replied to Jerbear25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is really good advice that everyone is ignoring as you can see

    Thinking of becoming a school nurse!

    PVT, are false positives possible?

    Extra Pickles replied to taylorwade1222's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, it has happened, but seems to be pretty rare. If 24 hours after you have completed your exam you are still prevented from registering for a new exam, it is most likely that you passed. If you put...

    Nclex pvt sata 2017

    Extra Pickles replied to Catmom123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! Advice, yes: Pay attention closely to what your preceptor is saying and showing you. It's okay to let them know that you had learned something like it in school, it is not okay to seem as...

    Took the NCLEX exam but no result due to expired lvn application

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

    I'm going to take a solid guess that there's a language issue in play here. Maybe you're not understanding what they are saying, maybe they are not understanding you. If you have documentation to...

    Pearson VUE trick 2017 CALIFORNIA

    Extra Pickles replied to Jerbear25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The reason to wait 24 hours before playing the game is because although the initial scoring is done instantly at close of exam (which is why it closes), the second Quality Assurance scoring (also...

    How accurate is the Pearson Vue Trick?

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

    It is not accurate, it is a game. Sounds like you enjoy playing it since you are doing it over and over. Honestly, there isn't much anyone can tell you. There is nothing to "work" or "not work". Most...

    Nclex pvt sata 2017

    Extra Pickles replied to Catmom123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Am in my second decade of working as an RN so yes, indeed :-) I have helped mentor and precept students when they are in the clinical setting and have worked with new grads struggling with NCLEX; it's...

    Baby vs no baby... help!

    Extra Pickles replied to Abby_3191's topic in General Students

    A newborn baby with a boyfriend and (you hope) grandmothers for childcare is an exceptionally difficult road to begin as a nursing student. The "easiest" babies are time consuming and don't sleep...

    Thinking of becoming a school nurse!

    Extra Pickles replied to Bebe1341's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, and welcome to AN :) I know school nurses who love (mostly lol) their jobs and no doubt you can read the Specialties forum here and find out what they think. I would suggest, though, before...

    International nurse

    Extra Pickles replied to Aurorakoli84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Go to this site to familiarize yourself with the testing requirements: NCLEX & Other Exams | NCSBN . The NYS BON website will give you what you need to know about getting a license where you live....

    BSN but want to take LPN/LVN exam. HELP!

    Extra Pickles replied to quebby224's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Every State Board of Nursing in the US has its own requirements regarding Practical Nursing licensing. Some states will only allow a graduate of a practical nursing program to take the NCLEX-PN,...

    Please I need HELPPPP! I failed NCLEX-RN five times.

    Extra Pickles replied to angel15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What do you by "they are going to change the NCLEX format next time"? And "I have taken the testing test"---what? You might want to take a look at this site: NCLEX & Other Exams | NCSBN . The...

    failed NCLEX in 75 questions despite Uworlds blessing

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

    The bolded part explains why you failed. I have no idea how the predictor works with any of the review courses, but I understand rather well how the CAT system of the NCLEX works. To fail in 75...

    Nclex pvt sata 2017

    Extra Pickles replied to Catmom123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    the ONLY thing that mattered at all in what you wrote is that you got 75 questions. That means you either did very well and proved competency quickly or did very badly and proved incompetency...

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

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

    Should have also mentioned that in your case, PV did not attempt to charge your card in the first place so of course you got the same message either way. MOST of the time, the software will refuse to...

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

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

    Again, no, it does not. I say this because there have been times when people have put in invalid card information (expiration date or security code wrong, whatever) and the Card Declined message...

    I graduated 3 years ago and failed the NCLEX 7 times.

    Extra Pickles replied to flor.ct88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My suggestion would be to do the one thing you didn't do, which is enroll in a live NCLEX review course. One that is taught by someone with an excellent passing rate for his or her students and has...

    Failed NCLEX 11 times.

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

    I liked your post because I agree that luck has nothing at all to do with passing, competency does. But "never give up", that I disagree with. Some people really do need to give up before it consumes...
