  1. Looking for a good step-up program. These are the parameters; I must be able to work AND go to school (gotta pay those bills! ) Any good schools in your area? Regards,
  2. "You're a NURSE??"

    This is taken from Taylor Mali 's "What Teachers Make" poem. His spoken-word performance can be seen on YouTube. A shame the poster passed this off as his own without having the decency to give credit...
  3. When do I initial the M.A.R.?

    Hi Neophyte. Pull. Punch. Sign. That's the way I was taught, and it's worked well for me. Either way, whether you sign after punching the med, or sign after administration, if the pt. refuses, you...
  4. ATI graduation test

    Hi All! Just finished my LPN course and passed all of the criteria set down by the California Board of Vocational Nurses. Unfortunately, NOW our instructor says we need to take AND pass this ATI exam...
  5. Pros and Cons of nursing

    McKnis, the is a nursing forum. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even though it may not reflect yours. Telling someone (and everyone) to ignore another member's post (however you may disagree),...
  6. It went something like this: Brand new nurse comes to me about family members bullying her to give "grannie" more pain meds (still two hours to go until her next dose)... I go into the room. Me: "Hi,...
  7. had clinicals with a seasoned nurse of 30+ years, who, when a young male patient "wagged" his member at her an said, "check this baby out!", responded with "wow. that is absolutely the smallest member...
  8. College Nework LVN to BSN only 28K

    Yes. Contact ISU DIRECTLY. Do NOT use College Network. You will, unfortunately, regret it. Good luck. Carolina
  9. Magnet Status

    It leaves you out in the cold unless you get your RN.
  10. Sick of being a LPN

    Good for you! I, too, would have been perfectly happy remaining an LPN for my entire nursing career (and had expected too.) However, the problem we now face here in Northern California is that...
  11. LPN-to-RN Programs

    Hi All, When I took my LVN program at Unitek College in Sacramento, CA, all of the pre-req classes were included in the actual program. During my visit to Western Career College in Sacramento today,...

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

    I am amazed after 3395 replies stating that the PV Trick is true that people are STILL saying "Gee, I hope this works." Carolina
  14. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    1. Yes. It works. After the last 3,000 or so previous entries, why ask? 2. Yes. It applies to ALL PV exams. 3. 5 minute. 5 hours. 5 days. 5 weeks. There are no time constraints. Carolina
  15. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    The fallacy of the 'big' envelope, 'small' envelope is that each Board (RN and PN) within each separate state, use varying methods of sending out results. Carolina
  16. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    It will work 5 minutes or 5 days after your exam. Carolina
  17. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    HopingtobeanRN, Just because the CA BON is slow does not invalidate, in any way, the fact that the PV Trick does, in fact, work (as evidenced by the overwhelming supportive data found in just this...

    ChiSmile6 - I'm reposting this from earlier in the thread. Good luck. 1. Go to Pearson Vue 2. Sign in. 3. Choose your "type of test" (it will take you to another page) 4. Put in your username and...
  19. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Congrats! The bottom line is that, yes, we all have to wait for the "official" word. But the "trick" worked for you, didn't it? And it has worked for thousands of others as well. That fact alone...
  20. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Sigh. I am consistently amazed at the (very) few people who cling to the notion that the PVt "does not work." As nurse-to-be, we are taught all about "theory" and research. By following the...
  21. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    First, CONGRATS! Secondly, I have serious doubts about the, um...doubters. lol. I'll need proof that they got the "golden message" when trying to re-register and FAILED, or went all the way to the...

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

    To clear the air, when you put in your school name at the BEGINNING of trying to re-register, you should get a message that reads: "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam....
  24. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    What...you expected them to say "Yes! The flaw in our system works!" Get real. So far, the "trick" has worked for thousands of students. The preponderance of evidence is in favor of it, not against...
  25. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    God, I hope so! I was SICK when I left the testing center! I got SOOOOO many questions on medications I had never even heard about (even in Nursing School!). Fingers crossed....now comes the dreaded...
