1. new grad offered nurse manager position

   keme replied to aye125RN's topic in New York

   Precisely why I don't advocate it. :) And you're right, mine was just a rare case where it worked because of circumstances that's all.

2. new grad offered nurse manager position

   keme replied to aye125RN's topic in New York

   I agree. As a new grad RN I confer...no experience compares. But in my case, it was a skills set, not necessarily the experience and it doesn't mean I don't understand the role. I've precepted LVNs and even trained RNs on specific procedures and work...

3. new grad offered nurse manager position

   keme replied to aye125RN's topic in New York

   In my particular situation, I did have bedside experience. Like I said, I'm not advocating new grads with no hospital or bedside experience to take management positions. I'm merely saying there can be exceptions based on the situation and it just dep...

4. new grad offered nurse manager position

   keme replied to aye125RN's topic in New York

   That's your personal opinion and one you are entitled to. But to say that a new grad manager would have no idea of what it's like to be a nurse is not entirely true if you've worked in the department for many, many years and know how it runs from top...

5. new grad offered nurse manager position

   keme replied to aye125RN's topic in New York

   Might depend on the situation. I am a new grad RN BSN who was offered an RN Supervisor position right out of the gate. A lot depends on the experience with the institution as well as the department/unit one would be managing. I had to think hard abou...

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

   keme replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Hi Vernava...check in the morning. They are behind because of friday. My friend took it on the 22nd and she too called the BRN who told her her information was entered yesterday and to keep checking. The same thing happened to me when my information ...

7. CA BRN

   keme replied to keme's topic in NCLEX

   Hi Vernava, Friends of mine who took it on a Wednesday heard on tues the next week. I took my exam on a monday but my school hadn't sent the transcripts until the day before I was supposed to get my results so it ended up taking 1 1/2 weeks to get t...

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

   keme replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Yay, my results finally came in...I passed! Woohoo. The trick worked. I waited a week and half for results because of the wait for final transcripts. I gotta give the CA BRN credit though, they did let me know what I needed and even though they would...

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

   keme replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Exactly why I am not one of these Cali new grads who are freaking out about not getting results right away...that and I have old school friends who have reminded me time and time again about having to sit for the exam for two days straight and then w...

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

    keme replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    I'm almost thinking that would be better in the long run :). In California we can sit for boards with preliminary paperwork so it is a matter of taking it real early and waiting forever for results or waiting to take the exam and getting results righ...

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

    keme replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    I wonder even if California had quick results, I would imagine they still wouldn't release those results with an incomplete file. A lot of the problems people at our school are having with the BRN in Cali are not with the BRN so much as with our scho...

    keme replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    They get your preliminary paperwork...that allows you to test. We had to turn that in before we even graduated. The BRN has to wait for your final transcripts that has your degree posted before they will release your results. There can be holds on fi...

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

    keme replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    You might want to check with your school also. I took the exam last 7/13 in CA...got the pop-up, and did not see results. When I called the BRN, they said, that my file was incomplete, and that they hadn't received my final transcripts from my school...

14. IV Certification for Nursing Students? HELP!

    keme replied to Tolstoym1's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I went to school in CA and mostly did it in the lab and I myself am not real comfortable with it even though i draw blood as a medical assistant...so I signed up for an IV cert class just to feel more comfortable.

    Hi...okay now I'm wondering about the validity of the pop up. I've been reading the posts for sometime and thought of myself as a firm believer that seeing the pop up was a good thing. But when calling Pearson this morning, I was told, I couldn't re-...
