   jax777 replied to keinahnah's topic in NCLEX

   Very observant! My wife is visiting the Philippines, and took her test in Manila which is 15 hours ahead of Pacific Time. That's why she already has her Sept 16th results earlier. As far as what helped her pass the NCLEX this time around, she took ...

3. Took the NCLEX... 265 Questions. SATA questions

   jax777 replied to keinahnah's topic in NCLEX

   My wife also took NCLEX on Sep 16th, and passed after taking the full 265 questions. On her previous attempts, she ended the test at 75 and 125 questions. The fact that you got enough correct to make it to 265 questions is encouraging. I wouldn't wor...

8. Meaning of your username?

   jax777 replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

   Hmm, if I was a superhero fighting in Marvel's Civil War, I would side with Captain America who believes in anonymity; so, I really can't disclose what my username means

   I am thinking of relocating to that area by OR/WA border, but wondering what the job market was like for new RNs.

11. Depression and nursing

    jax777 replied to canoehead's topic in Stress 101

    I will remember you in prayer. I wish it was as simple as some medical issue (thyroid, hormone imbalance), but I give you all the credit in the world for still doing your job in caring for others while in depths of depression. Hopefully, you'll find ...

    Let us know your thoughts when/if you watch the series. Star Wars is a childhood passport for those who grew up watching the films and playing with the action figures; I think that is why is still remains so popular.

14. Yep. I have no friends in school.

    jax777 replied to rheath22's topic in General Students

    I don't understand why students can be so cliquish when it comes to preferring people their same age, but I have noticed it too in college. I don't think you should dye your hair blue and get tats for acceptance. Just be yourself; you sound like the ...

15. What should I do? Need advice

    jax777 replied to lucky927's topic in NP

    More money isn't worth the unhappiness of disliking your career. Try the insurance job; you can always go back to bedside nursing if it doesn't work out. In addition, there are many nurse occupational administration jobs in which you never deal with ...
