    How long for licenses?

    Lurksalot replied to NJNursing's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    This page had emails for the administrative assistants and license verification secretaries, and also the NCLEX department staff. Maybe they would return emails sooner than phone calls? Scroll down,...

    How long for licenses?

    Lurksalot replied to NJNursing's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I found the NJ BON pretty fast. I received my letter with my license number on it 10 days after I passed NCLEX, and then received my actual license 5 days after that. I took NCLEX right before the...

    Tips on getting people to come to staff meetings

    Lurksalot replied to asilmk's topic in General Nursing

    Pay them for their time, if you are not already. Any time we come in for training or meetings, we badge in and out. How 'bout a clinical ladder? Earn points for meetings, preceptoring, education,...

    Nurse manager email - Opinions?

    Lurksalot replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't worded the most professional way, but it sure was clear what she meant! On one hand, I sympathise with the manager who felt she had to word a memo to everyone like this instead of speaking...

    Confused on AP education options?

    Lurksalot posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am really confused now. I've been reading other posts, and some are saying you can become a Nurse Practitioner via a direct-entry masters program, without even already being an RN? All the schools...

    Confused on AP education options?

    Lurksalot replied to Lurksalot's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for the explanations, now I can see how programs have changed even since I first started my education. In any case, the path I am on now probably still would have been the fastest for me....

    School loans and debt, how much are you in the hole?

    Lurksalot replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, education is ALWAYS a wise investment. I sure admire those who are able to pay as they go, or work out ways to not accumulate debt while getting through school, and I really wish I could have...

    Att

    Lurksalot replied to Rocky_LPN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel for you. It was awful waiting for the ATT. I can tell you that in NJ mine was emailed to me 10 days after the school certified me. But I had all my state license paperwork done, fingerprints...

    testing in a different state

    Lurksalot replied to all4schwa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, I tested out of state in order to get a quicker date. I called Pearsonvue, and they said as long as you applied for licensure in your own state, you can take it in any state without problems. It...

    HELP I can't take the wait~!

    Lurksalot replied to healer27's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Remember that 15 of those 75 questions were pilot questions, and were not counted as test questions. Good luck, I'm sure you will find out very soon you passed! :) It kinda stinks right now in NJ,...

    Are delegation questions hard ones or easy ones to have, and what does that mean.

    Lurksalot replied to fishinNbanjo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think nursemomruns explained it well. I started getting priority questions very early, but the first ones I thought were pretty easy, like it was obvious which patient to see first. Toward the...

    School loans and debt, how much are you in the hole?

    Lurksalot replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    so sorry. It's killing me right now, too. I see my estimate of about $50,00 total after my masters was pretty accurate! It really adds up fast, and that's even by paying as much as I can each...

    Drop Rate for Nursing School

    Lurksalot replied to angelina02_21's topic in General Nursing

    My school also had about a 40% drop rate, but the spaces were filled up quickly the next semester by those waiting to get in--like someone who had failed a previous course, or transfer students....

    Do you ever have patients that you know?

    Lurksalot replied to Lurksalot's topic in Emergency

    Very interesting! It remains to be seen how may people I will know at my work, hopefully none! hehe. :) I think I am still traumatized from having to give my aunt-in-law a bedbath when she ended up...

    Ginger, I think you handled the situation very professionally, especially in light of the way the emt(or whatever his credential are) confronted you. It sounds like you are following the right...

    Your protocol/standard for head injury?

    Lurksalot posted a topic in Emergency

    Does your facility have some standard protocol for a head injury? For example, if a person came in from a MVA where his head hit the windshield and bounced off, and the patient presented with a head...
