    No More Hard Copies of License?

    Reno1978 replied to Medic09's topic in General Nursing

    That must be it. I didn't get one for my renewal and remember receiving a letter about it. I did get one for my initial license when I endorsed to WA last

    When you meet the minimum requirements and are motivated, go for it! Studying the content will only make you a better clinician. I took it right before my 2 year mark, but I don't see why I couldn't...

    When I volunteered at the AllNurses booth at an NSNA convention in Reno, I got a box full of AllNurses.com pens and I still use them. They're your regular ballpoint pens, but they write so smooth and...

    Reno1978 replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    I worked 7.5 extra hours on Tuesday, then did my normal three 12's on Wed/Thu/Fri and I'm beat! I have the weekend off and I teach a few courses to the new hires on Monday morning, then I'm on call...

    New nursing program

    Reno1978 replied to zrc2009's topic in General Nursing

    New nursing program

    Reno1978 replied to zrc2009's topic in General Nursing

    This is not true. Performance on the NCLEX is one of the indicators for accreditation. The state's licensing agency would approve the curriculum prior to their operation and would allow successful...

    Is it bad to retract your job offer?

    Reno1978 replied to carebearsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know that that's exactly what he was pointing out, but it does little on forums like this but distracts people from the topic. For example, we're talking about grammar now instead of discussing the...
