    pearson vue trick update for 2017

    Extra Pickles replied to cnurse515's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    1. The Pearson Vue Trick is not something that is accurate or not accurate. It's a game. 2. If you passed it's not supposed to take your money. If you keep trying to submit money and it...

    NCLEX Exam

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

    Is this your 14th, or 15th attempt? Almost 6 hours for 79 questions means you would have run out of time in only a few more questions, which is a really REALLY long time to take to test. If you...

    What good does a BA in anything do for nursing

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

    I think what you might be asking, Mike, is really about the chances of your classmate getting into an accelerated nursing program. Those students who already possess a Bachelor degree in another...

    Best and cheapest online pre req

    Extra Pickles replied to ricardot82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't mind the input, I'd say that you're going about this backwards. Each nursing program, each college/university has its own list of accepted pre-requisite courses. Not every program takes...

    Pharmacy Math

    Extra Pickles replied to faithfl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you lay out the formula here, how you're setting it up, we can see what you might be doing wrong. If you're doing this and not getting the right answer seeing how you are working on it would help...

    PVT trick Good pop up and then bad pop up!?

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

    There's a few hundred threads on this topic and the general consensus is that since the exam is graded twice (first at shut-off and then sometime during the next 24 hours for quality control) you...

    Nurse's Week Festivities?

    Extra Pickles posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is your facility planning on something fun and festive for staff? So far I've heard administration is planning massages and manicures but they are only for daytime staff who can afford to leave their...

    Nurse's Week Festivities?

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

    Some units did more than others, it wasn't the facility administration so much as it was individual nurse managers. One unit got a big sheetcake and another one had food brought in for lunch. Others...

    Doing Checked off Clinical skills at home?

    Extra Pickles replied to curlybirdie's topic in General Students

    One thing to keep in mind as you move forward through school, do not make the mistake of confusing giving care to a family member as nursing experience. If you were to claim that you were acting in...

    Need help with accreditation decision

    Because he cannot get into a BSN program. He is not a competitive candidate and is therefore looking to get into any nursing program that will take him. In this case, one without accreditation....

    Need help with accreditation decision

    Extra Pickles replied to mitchelldog's topic in General Students

    Not sure what to tell you anymore, you have now had input from a variety of sources about your question regarding going to a non accredited school. All I can add at this point is that no school cares...

    Extra Pickles replied to listenandlearn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If I only did what was good for me I'd never let another chocolate éclair pass my lips. And THAT ain't gonna happen lol. But no, I don't support gel or acrylic or anything else that can create an...

    Infectious Nursing

    Extra Pickles replied to raynpetal's topic in General Nursing

    According to your posting history, I think you haven't gone to any nursing school yet, is that correct? Every nursing program includes Infection Control (not infectious lol although some days I...

    Can I Get Hired?

    Extra Pickles replied to Aziza_'s topic in General Nursing

    When you apply to your board of nursing to take the NCLEX (not boards, the licensing exam) you will be asked if you have any arrests or convictions. You will be truthful because not being truthful...

    100k in loans worth it?

    Extra Pickles replied to ravindram's topic in General Nursing

    Do I think indebting yourself to the tune of $100K is worth it? Absolutely not. I support the others' comments and suggest you find a less costly

    Quitting without notice

    Extra Pickles replied to Summer247's topic in General Nursing

    I too am sorry for your loss, it's horrible no matter the circumstances. As awful as your job environment is I would still give 2 week's notice. You can't un-burn that

    Nurse's Week Festivities?

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

    To add to the "festive" atmosphere we were all told it would be fun to wear mismatched socks! We did that before, but honestly on any given day I could do that without realizing it and don't find it...

    Failed NCLEX 11 times.

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

    I cringed when I read this. The part about you taking the NCLEX 8 times, fine, although my personal take is that's a bit excessive. The part I bolded, though, was just so mean-spirited. So are you now...

    Am I going to hate nursing

    Extra Pickles replied to AmberDray's topic in General Students

    I've always thought, and this post reinforces my opinion, that you are a very good person. Your ability to give the benefit of doubts exceeds my own in this case but I wanted to take just a minute to...

    memorizing

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

    You are asking a question that will ultimately prove irrelevant. If you get into nursing school with rote memorization but are unable to adapt the knowledge to application you will not succeed. If you...
