1. Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

   jrost80RNBSN replied to Barbie8808's topic in CNA/MA

   I've seen multiple CNA classes, not one teaches any of that. Even with hospital techs. And I've worked for two different hospitals. No one is saying you aren't compitent, but the back bone of nursing is competent nurses that use evidence-based practi...

2. Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

   jrost80RNBSN replied to Barbie8808's topic in CNA/MA

   To the best of my knowledge, CNA's are not allowed to touch an IV or a foley/NG tube. I also work for a magnet hospital, CNA's can do blood draws, vital signs, glucose monitoring. CNA's have a hard job and they are a great asset to the healthcare t...

6. Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

   jrost80RNBSN replied to Mnurse10's topic in NCLEX

   I did this using a card I knew that had insufficent funds, you still should get the "good pop-up" if you pass :)

7. Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

   jrost80RNBSN replied to Mnurse10's topic in NCLEX

   Agreed, it does vary by state!!! In PA here your license is posted the next day. However, in California, I know it takes decades :)

8. Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

   jrost80RNBSN replied to Mnurse10's topic in NCLEX

   First, congrats, and welcome to the profession:) I don't understand the tone on here as well. In my experience, and almost a hundred other people i know and the probably hundred posts on here the trick is accurate as soon as you get to your car. Bei...

9. Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

   jrost80RNBSN replied to Mnurse10's topic in NCLEX

   Yeah, unless there is a hold, your license should be available on your BON website the next day (unless it is a friday). Yes, it is scored twice, but the PVT is pretty much 100% accurate as soon as you leave the testing site:)

10. Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

    jrost80RNBSN replied to Mnurse10's topic in NCLEX

    Like the post said before as long as there is nothing on hold the "trick" is pretty much 100% accurate immediately after the test.

11. Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

    jrost80RNBSN replied to Mnurse10's topic in NCLEX

    No, if the card has insufficent funds, if you pass you will still get the good pop up:(

12. Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

    jrost80RNBSN replied to Mnurse10's topic in NCLEX

    If it declines the card, it means a fail. The trick is almost 100%

13. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    jrost80RNBSN replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX

    The PVT is alive and well. Just get a visa gift card for $20 and input the info. If you pass, you get the good pop up. If you don't it declines the card.

14. Can I lose my license???

    jrost80RNBSN replied to Staceyface65's topic in Professionalism

    There is no way any nurse would have the balls (or time) to do this!!! This post simply can't be real!!!

15. Infusion Pump - I feel stupid!

    jrost80RNBSN replied to skewlgurlRN's topic in Medications

    Always double check!!! Vanco over 1 gram is infused over 90 minutes, however if it is under 1 gram it can be run in 60 minutes. I always reference Micromedix or Davis Drug Guide apps if I am not sure.
