    Need help with accreditation decision

    Extra Pickles replied to mitchelldog's topic in General Students

    Understood. But I think you are glossing over the baseline nursing education in favor of what might happen several years down the road. For instance, WHY is it you are not able to get into a nursing...

    NCLEX-PN 2017 pvt trick?

    Extra Pickles replied to chicklhet_09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your post is a little confusing. Did you get charged $200? You said "it didn't went thru" and then you said "it appeared on my cc". So, charged? Or not? If you were charged it is most likely...

    Stopped at 75 question. I'm almost sure I failed

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

    I think most people do feel like they failed but since somewhere around 85% of first-time testers pass your odds are at least pretty good. Did you go to a school that has a high NCLEX passing rate?...

    Nursing students who took few semesters in the Philippines then migrated to the US

    Extra Pickles replied to BWaldorf's topic in General Students

    Depends on the school and what your program curriculum was. If upon review they feel the content you completed was equivalent to what they provide it would be accepted. If they feel the content is...

    Board of Nursing says license needs additional information

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

    You won't know the status of your application until you receive notice that you are authorized to test. That is the norm, it is NOT the norm to receive status updates. There's enough work for them to...

    Extra Pickles replied to JoDanielle's topic in General Nursing

    Be OPEN to constructive criticism, it is what you need to hear in order to become a good nurse. Be aware of non-constructive criticism but don't let it take over your whole being. Too many new grads...

    Nursing students who took few semesters in the Philippines then migrated to the US

    Extra Pickles replied to BWaldorf's topic in General Students

    No foreign nursing courses will transfer to a US nursing school. You might be able to have general education courses credited, once the school reviews the transcripts you provide. You'd need to have...

    Nclex help

    Extra Pickles replied to Trini69's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you submitted your initial application less than 2 years ago, do what Vinny said. If it's been more than 2 years, you need to submit a new application, get that approved first before rescheduling....

    Need help with accreditation decision

    Extra Pickles replied to mitchelldog's topic in General Students

    Maybe I'm interpreting this wrong but it looks to me like you don't seem to see that you haven't actually HAD any nursing education yet. I don't know what a degree in "pre-nursing" qualifies one to...
