    Finding a job after Graduation

    Rose_Queen replied to deavilaxoxo's topic in General Students

    Have you checked their requirements to see if they require a BSN? Does your program award a bachelors or an associates degree? If the latter, you will likely need to complete your BSN to be able to...

    Whats the difference?

    Rose_Queen replied to B.23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not true. The local nursing school awards an AAS in nursing and no students have had any issues with being eligible for nursing. An AAS is an associates in applied science. Other official associates...

    Laptop for Online Classss

    Rose_Queen replied to NefforamaRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Well, I'll admit it, I'm an Apple girl. My Macbook has lasted as long as the last 3 other branded laptops I've had put together (Dell, HP) and is still going very strong. I had no issues with it...

    Welcome to AN! Not familiar at all with the Memphis area, but I've asked the moderators to move your post to another area where you might get better

    NCLEX exam

    Rose_Queen replied to Mimi2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Basically, unlicensed assistive personnel. Without the license, the BSN is pretty much useless. You could work as a unit secretary, nursing assistant, or any other similar position. You can always...

    It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Rose_Queen replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard about it. I haven't seen it though. Schools in my area are pumping out grads 2-3 times per year. The older nurses who either lost their retirement funds when the economy tanked, had to...

    Get my adn or lpn? Newbie here

    Rose_Queen replied to AutumnFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope. LPN and RN licenses are very different. If I were hiring for an LPN position, I would not accept an RN applicant. One, because as soon as someone with an RN license finds an RN position they're...

    Help! Failed NCLEX five times, out of school for 9 years

    Rose_Queen replied to cpmom's topic in Retired Nurses

    Well, that's one way to get off on the wrong foot with pretty much everyone. No, but a test can be used to determine that those who completed a program did so with enough knowledge to pass an exam of...

    What is the difference between the NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN?

    Rose_Queen replied to angel1312's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    What exam you are eligible to take depends on the type of program you complete. If you complete an LPN program, you will be eligible to take NCLEX-PN. If you complete an RN program, you will be...

    Does the OR count as "critical care"?

    Rose_Queen replied to morecoffeeplease's topic in Nursing Career

    Generally not. There may be a couple of programs who might be willing to consider it on a case by case basis, but it will not make you a competitive applicant. As an OR RN, you aren't going to be the...

    Totally clueless when it comes to nursing! Can anyone break the steps down for me?

    Rose_Queen replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the best route for you would be to speak with an academic advisor at your school. Each school is going to have differing requirements, and there are several different nursing program...

    What is the difference between the NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN?

    Rose_Queen replied to angel1312's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There are non-BSN programs in the US, granting either an ADN (most common) or a diploma (becoming rarer and rarer), that prepare the graduate for NCLEX-RN. RN-to-BSN programs allow graduates of those...

    Why did i received 265 questions on NCLEX?

    Rose_Queen replied to rainydaysoo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX asks questions that are both above and below passing standard- and the types of questions are irrelevant as all types of questions are written both above and below passing standard. It...

    What do RN's do that LPN's can't?

    Rose_Queen replied to bear94's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You may need to simply look up the scope of practice for the RN and then the scope of practice for the LPN if you don't find a comparison table. However, the other thing to keep in mind is that...

    Should nursing pay remain modest?

    Rose_Queen replied to Longleggedstar's topic in General Nursing

    No, nurses need to maintain standards of competency and professionalism to maintain the integrity. I expect to be paid for what I do, and not for minimum wage. If minimum wage increases, nursing wages...

    Be honest: do you feel valued by your employer?

    Rose_Queen replied to sunnyskies9's topic in General Nursing

    Do we work for the same employer? We've been told that too, as well as with our pittance of an on call rate that hasn't changed in over 25 years. Over $8 less/hour than one nearby

    Do you have a source for this? All I can find are recommendations for requiring a doctorate; not that it has become a requirement for

    Rose_Queen replied to mfash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you spoken with an advisor at your current school? Perhaps they can help guide you to what will be necessary to qualify for the nursing

    FAILED NCLEX RN WITH 265 questions

    Rose_Queen replied to rainydaysoo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First, wait for the official results. There have been stories of people for whom the PVT was not accurate. If the official results indicate that you did indeed fail, you will receive a Candidate...

    Organ Procurement

    Rose_Queen replied to Loxam10's topic in Operating Room

    Has your facility offered any kind of critical debriefing? This is the kind of situation that likely warrants it. If not, try seeking out a chaplain or speaking with your own clergy. You can also look...

    Patients Not Ready to Move??

    Rose_Queen replied to ClinOps's topic in Operating Room

    Not really, because each facility's documentation policies are going to be specific to them. Just remember that the patient is not the box of electronic bits and pieces- take care of the person on the...

    It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Rose_Queen replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing doesn't guarantee job security. Sure, nurses are required, but that doesn't mean facilities won't decide not to post vacant positions to be filled, increase patient ratios, force nurses to...

    Taking NCLEX January 4, 2017! HELP!

    Rose_Queen replied to shaeleann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX is a life altering exam; of course it's normal to be nervous about it. If you think your nervousness may interfere with your ability to take the test, look into test taking strategies for...
