PVT no longer works

[trinitymaster]

Tell us about a thread title that you would love to see.

For Example: Doctors finally admit that they know less than nurses

Or: New nurses shown to be highly skilled compared to seasoned nurses

Or: All for-profit nursing programs shut down by FEDs

Or: One year moratorium on new nurses entering the work force

Go ahead, this is a judgement-free zone

Healthcare workers pay calculated by NFL standards, morale up considerably.

"Good Pop Up Changes to Bad Pop Up When Candidates Insist On Doing PVT OVER AND OVER--Thousands Now Failing NCLEX Because They Can't Stop Themselves!!"

How about "Trying to register for NCLEX within 72 hours of taking NCLEX results in failing and waiting period of 6 months to retake"

Yes! Yes please! Think we could actually get Pearson to do that?

Seriously I hope their IT people get this mess locked down at some point so the insanity can stop.

"NCLEX now only offered 3 times per year"

Makes it harder for nurses to pass the exam- resulting in less of a surplus of nurses

Better yet, lets bring back the two-day format of the exam! Only the strong will survive that!!

And candidates now have to wait for snail mail notification---which takes 6 weeks minimum!!!

(ahh, the memories!)

And 75-265 questions is for wimps. Let's see posts that say... "my pencil wore down to the nub after 800 questions. Do you think I passed?"

"I've been crying my eyes out while checking the mailbox every 1/2 hour even though my results won't come for 6 weeks!"

I'm actually an RN that took the modern day NCLEX with 75 questions. However, I've also been through a 2-day state bar exam and waited 4 months for results ... so I know the pain! :) ... seriously, the NCLEX needs to get more comprehensive and include a skills portion just like they do for CNA state certification. I think more quality nurses would come of that.
