And don't forget the ones about working in Quebec who are shocked that they will need to speak French
Better yet, how about the ones where they are migrating to Quebec under the Quebec immigration inniative and ask if they really, really have to live their and learn French
Oh gosh, where to begin? The most aggravating...it's my DREAMMMMMM to be a nurse, but I've failed xyz class and my CI is a bully. Can I pass??? Or the does the Pearson Vue trick work? By far the worst, any and every thread that NETY becomes the buzz word in.
How I respond to these really depends on my mood and how many of the exact same threads I've run across that day.
(This did NOT happen on allnurses, was on another site)
Starts out with a response to a thread.........
Chapter 1-The Posts in the public forum
Q-What kind of nursing job do you have and do you like it?
A-Vague, general response
Q-I would totally love doing that-what is the name of you employer?
A-I'm sorry, but I'd rather not share that information with someone I don't know.
Chapter 2-The PM's in the message box
Q-So where do you work and are they hiring???
A-Ignore
Q-LOL you are toooo funny-I can tell you read my message! So where do you work, and do you think you could get me a job there?
A-Ignore, and try to figure out block function
Q-Why are you ignoring me- would it be better if I friend-ed you on Facebook? Tell me your name!
A-Ignore, and continue trying to figure out block function
Q-Why are you mad at me? All's I want to know is where you work, your name and your supervisor's name.
A-Ignore and give up on blocking
Q-Why are you being such a b_tch? I thought nurses were supposed to care about people. I need you to get me a job and use you for a reference- I thought you were my friend!
A-Remove all previous posts and delete account. Discover allnurses and join in the fun there!
Which I think should be a banned topic. There are roughly twelve billion threads on this board dedicated to two generations of a software glitch that brings out and supports the absolute worst in people. It rewards weakness so profound its sufferers seem to approach spasmodic death throes at the suggestion they concentrate on something else for a mere 48 hours, 16 of which they'll likely be asleep.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I know what it stands for and that it has something to do with NCLEX results, I was wondering what the trick is and the controversy with it.

Now I know it's the devil..
well, short explanation: it used to be that due to a glitch in the program one could log into the Pearson Vue website after taking the NCLEX and try to reschedule the exam. If you passed you got the "good pop-up" telling you that you couldn't reschedule, if you failed you got the "bad pop-up" that let you reschedule the test.
Controversy started when that glitch was supposedly fixed...now there is a workaround that requires entering your credit card information to pay for the retest before the good [or dreaded bad] pop-up appears. There are hundreds if not thousands of threads explaining the process and the workaround on AN...so, it's a topic that gets very old very fast!
