    Aaron86 replied to al_e135's topic in Virginia Nursing

    While I went to JMU as a nursing major my freshman year, I can't really help you out since I transfered out as soon as I could. Where do you go currently? I assume there isn't a nursing program there?...

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

    Aaron86 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CA3286, We can just hope. It seems like it has been accurate for everyone so far. Also, if it shows as the test info having been submitted already you could try call up your State's board of nursing....

  4. No one wants to give me a chance :(

    Aaron86 replied to mlok's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Aaron86 replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well I found out. 75 questions and I did pass afterall. I really feel like my nursing school did a really good job preparing the student for the NCLEX by teaching us the formats of the test, the...

    Aaron86 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well i guess the trick worked for me. I got the popup on pearson's website yesterday a few hours after finishing the NCLEX and today my board of nursing's automated telephone line says my liscense is...

  7. Funny things that pts say

    Aaron86 replied to jRN4now's topic in Nursing Humor

    Working in the ER last summer, there was a patient being typed and screened for a blood transfusion. As the lab guy walked out of the room with his blood the patient waved me over urgently. "Make sure...

  8. funny things that have happend to you and your mates at work

    Aaron86 replied to melz34's topic in Nursing Humor

  9. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    Aaron86 replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  10. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    Aaron86 replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Edit: Go me for dredging up a 7 year old post! I certainly hope I can be a nurse without Jean Watson. Because i have never heard of her. Sure you have to care about your patients to some degree,...

  11. Would you encourage someone who was considering nursing school?

    Aaron86 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Its hard to say if I would encourage them or not. Well I take it back, I would encourage them but I wouldn't sugar coat things. I'd tell them what to expect. Study your orifice off in nursing school...

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

    Aaron86 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Jorla 9903, The pop-up, for me anyway, says: "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be...

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

    Aaron86 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lord oh lord I hope this "trick" actually works because I got the pop-up. In my mind i'm thinking "well of course, this makes sense because pearson won't allow a refund once you pay, so naturally they...

  14. Ages of male nursing students?

    Aaron86 replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I was 16 when I applied and declared my major and applied to college, 17 my freshman year in college, and then 20 when I started actual nursing classes. I had a fairly large class size of about 200....

  15. Some of these students, jeez...

    Aaron86 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The only thing about that story that bugs me is that he left the hospital to go get it. I am suprised the teacher alowed it. As a student its probably not so important but a staff nurse doing that,...

  16. Working with mostly women. Heaven or Hell?

    Aaron86 replied to lsvalliant's topic in Male Nursing Students

    i feel like i probably get more respect than i deserve, but not being a woman i can't really say i get more because i'm a guy. as for helping me with my own relationships, depends on what you mean. i...

  17. Does being a guy have any affect on being accepted into your schools nursing program?

    Aaron86 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Anyone who thinks they got into a program just for being a guy is selling themselves short. First of all, I'm fairly sure it would be illegal and at the very least unethical to accept or deny someone...

  18. I'm an RN now! And can't find a job

    Aaron86 replied to StudentMidwife's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm in the same boat as you, sort of. I'm just a regular old BSN that graduated in May and have been searching for employment since February. I can't even get a job as a medical tech! I'm trying to...

    Aaron86 replied to jeanette21's topic in Government, Military

    Aaron86 replied to jeanette21's topic in Government, Military

    Hey Belnadine, I know for a fact that 20/20 vision is not a requirement to join except for certain jobs (i.e. pilot). There are weight and health recruirements though. According to the recruiter my...

  21. air force nursing questions

    Aaron86 replied to jeanette21's topic in Government, Military

    I will say I'm being a bit doom and gloom, but it sounds like most of my classmates are having similar issues in finding a job. It seems like the only ones set to go are the ones that entered into...

    Aaron86 replied to jeanette21's topic in Government, Military

  24. Got fire because manager said I need some critical thinking

    Aaron86 replied to HNursing's topic in General Nursing

    That does seem clear and concise. As far as "maintained patient safety" though, that is a bit vague, perhaps in the future explicitly mention what interventions you did that provided safety? Keep in...

  25. Got fire because manager said I need some critical thinking

    Aaron86 replied to HNursing's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I didn't know there actually were medical terminology classes, I know I would probably have found it interesting had it been offered! During my clinicals in nursing school, I have known many...
