   ashemson replied to ashemson's topic in Activism

   No you are correct. But with the new Affordable Care Act, if you work more than 30 hours per week, your employer HAS to offer you insurance. So the PRN's that are working more than 30 are getting their hours cut. I was just wondering how other med...

2. Can PRN's refuse insurance???

   ashemson posted a topic in Activism

   I am a PRN nurse in a hospital and of course we are cutting hours below 30/week. Just wondering if PRN staff signed something that says we refuse benefits if we would be allowed to work more than 30? I can't find any law that addresses that?

3. Did everyone love telemetry???

   ashemson replied to ashemson's topic in Cardiac

   Yeah, I think the whole electrical system thing just hasn't "stuck" yet. Like I said, I am really trying to like it and learn it because I think with a tele or ICU background, that is really the foundation for everything. I know how important it is...

4. Did everyone love telemetry???

   ashemson posted a topic in Cardiac

   Just wondering if everyone started out loving telemetry and knew that's what you wanted to do, or did it take some getting used to? I am a recent grad in May, and because the hospital I worked at paid for my tuition, I am working for them for 1 year...

5. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   ashemson replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Just wanted to give my input on the "trick". I would have bet thousands that I failed that crazy test, but checked the Pearson site as soon as I got home, and it wouldn't let me reregister. And I PASSED!!! It definitely saved me from a few gray ha...

   Question for everyone that tried the "trick". Did anyone try it and it wasn't correct? I am testing today for NCLEX RN and will be dying to find out results, and didn't know how soon I can try the trick.

9. Question for KAPLAN takers...

   ashemson posted a topic in NCLEX

   I just graduated May 8th, and am taking Kaplan which is the last weekend in May and first weekend in June. Not thinking clearly, I scheduled my NCLEX on the Monday right after Kaplan. Since I have been studying already, do you guys who have taken K...

10. Which NCLEX books???

    ashemson replied to ashemson's topic in NCLEX

    I have actually been studying, but I have about 6 books that I keep going back and forth between, and sometimes it's really overwhelming. I just wanted opinions on which one others preferred so I could focus on maybe 1 or 2.

    I am taking NCLEX June 8th, doing Kaplan over the next two weekends. I was just wondering to all who have taken NCLEX already, which study book was more like the real thing? I have several and don't know which one to really focus on. I was serious...

12. Saunders book vs. Flash cards

    ashemson replied to ashemson's topic in NCLEX

    I just wanted some flashcards so that I could throw some in my purse and study at randoms times, and not have to carry a book around. I wish I had thought of flashcards back in August, because you are right, making my own would have been great, but ...

    That makes sense when you put it like that! I guess I just have trouble putting into "proper" words what I need to say. I will go work on it again...thanks so much!
