I recently took the NCLEX and after 180 questions it cut off. I was sure I failed so I looked on this forum to get some info. That's when I read about the PVT so I tried it and YES I did it right. I put in an expired card and got the bad pop up. Natu...

Have you gotten your results back?

I tested in June and yes I tried it after 24, 48, 36 hours, basically up until I got my quick results that said pass. Bottom line is either you passed or failed and this stupid trick doesn't always work. If you have faith in God than your outcome wil...

I did hit submit.

Hey just curious if you are feeling better about working in the ER? I just started an ER job four weeks ago and I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of unsuccessful IV starts, intimidating docs and a crazy hard computer charting system. Trying to hang o...

I made it through nursing school and graduated this past May being a mom of two with a husband who was never home to help. Our class started out at 120 and we lost 40 students the first semester and 20 more along the way. Of those of us who graduated...

I'm a new grad in the ER without much experience starting IVs. Of course everybody gets them in the ER, but most people that come in have really bad things I've noticed. So this lady comes in and I can't find anything on her except for some very s...

My ultimate goal is to become a FNP. I start tomorrow as a new grad in the ER which I'm very excited about and I plan on working full time for a year then going to part time and starting the masters program next fall. I will need references to get in...

I worked as a pharmacy tech for 6 years then was a stay at home mom/student for 10 so I have a late start at beginning my career. My career goal is to be a nurse practitioner but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy being a RN I just don't want to wait too ...

Thats a great idea, thanks!

I think wearing a mask is the best thing to do.

I have not disclosed my plans yet but just to be clear I plan on working full time for one year then part time for 2 to 3 years while in school so they will be getting a lot of use out of me! The hospital where I'll be is big on people moving up and ...

A lot of the younger students in nursing school with me would say that they couldn't wait to get new cars, clothes etc. but I figured they had a false sense of how far their pay would go because most still lived with their parents or their parents we...

I live in Columbus Ga and I graduated this past May. I went to interview at a level 2 trauma hospital and told them I had to have day shift. They were very impressed with my interview and called the next day and offered me ER day shift. My classmates...

If it lets you go to cc page that is not the bad pop up, it's if you put in cc info and hit submit and get a cc expired pop up than that's the bad pop up. So don't fret!

Well just going by what others say if you put in your cc info and it's a valid card but you change the expiration date and hit submit it will give you one of two messages one being the good one and the other being the bad one that says cc expired. I'...

Not that I have read or heard about so I'm sure you passed!

I used a valid card but I changed the expiration date. But yeah it may have been different if the card had been able to go through. I wasn't going to chance it though!

Tried it again just a few hours before I got my unofficial result. Surely it would have been scored a second time by then. That was about 47 hours post exam

I did it 30 hours post test. Is that too soon?

I took it last Friday morning and got results Sunday morning. Almost exactly 48 hours later

Thanks everyone! I will definitely check the ER forum out. I'm new to Allnurses so thanks for the advice on that. That's a good idea to read the books before taking the courses. Maybe it will make me look less unprepared! And, I'm glad to be joining ...

So I am set to start at a level 2 trauma ER in August. I have no tech experience because I felt that it was more important for me to spend time studying (I'm the type that has to study a lot) and spend time with my kids. I don't regret my decision to...
