  1. Nclex-RN and License

    rzyzzy replied to magnolia44's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Congrats! I got mine the next day too. I was kinda miffed that there was another student from my class taking the test at the same time I did & he got a license & mine didn't come through...

  2. NCLEX select all that apply questions?

    rzyzzy replied to Nursecrystal2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took it a few days ago & the Sata q's I got were easier than the multiple choice. No tricks, pretty straight-forward. I got 150 q's (passed) and I didn't count Sata q's but there weren't many....

  3. How to do the PVt?

    rzyzzy replied to TeteRN2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Log into the Pearson testing page, answer all the questions correctly (have you taken nclex RN before = yes), and attempt to register for another test. After you've typed in a correct credit card...

  4. NCLEX RN Advice

    rzyzzy replied to merzielynn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I disagree - the "select alls" I had were pretty easy. I wish I had more "select all's".. I kept checking some of the multiple choice q's to see if I could pick two, cause there were two answers I...

  5. Taking the NCLEX-RN on June 30

    rzyzzy replied to PrinceSky's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did about 300q's in Saunders & no other prep. Took my test yesterday, 150 q's & passed. The "box" really seemed to hone in on what I didn't know (ob, just barely passed it in school &...

  6. Nclex-RN and License

    rzyzzy replied to magnolia44's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Lol, called 'em today about that, specific issue. There's one person who actually flips the lever & turns on your license after you pass. That person worked a half day today. Their self-imposed...

  7. Person Vue Trick-It was wrong for me. June 2016

    rzyzzy replied to Britt_RN2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    +1 I still have yet to see a first-person "i passed and still got charged" post. I don't know if i passed or not, but it wouldn't take my money! Valid cc & expire date.. 2 hrs after exam...

  8. New Grad afraid to start working!

    rzyzzy replied to anxiouspn's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't want a new nurse who *didn't* have some healthy fear. You still have to jump into the pool though. You're never "alone" as a nurse - some of your co-workers will lean on you in their...

  9. Hospital requires you to pass Nclex on first try.

    rzyzzy replied to Sagegrr's topic in General Nursing

    in my state, a GN doesn't have a "permit", so there's nothing to "lose". You're a nurse, or you're

  10. bridge the gap: Article Hospitals must educate nurses about health care costs

    rzyzzy replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Coming from a business background & going into nursing gives me a slightly different perspective - I kinda see nurses catching heat for decisions made way further up the food chain. At different...

  11. Fox News says patients waiting to see a doctor will have to "settle for a nurse instead"

    rzyzzy replied to FrancineRNfrannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    you can't argue with goobers, and that's Fox's demographic. Let 'em cluck & coo to themselves, the next story they'll post is about how they can't find Doctors who speak engrish, and another one...

  12. How I passed the EXIT HESI first try 2 weeks out...

    rzyzzy replied to jspreitzer's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    If you're graduating in December, you didn't take the same "rn exit" hesi I just took. Hesi has customized exams available for each block of nursing school, and a standard "rn exit" hesi for block 4...

  13. Facebook and employers/school

    rzyzzy replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    Facebook is tough - you can delete "likes" & old posts & I've done that, but occasionally stuff that I clearly remember deleting somehow reappears. After spending most of a day cleaning my...

  14. Help I want to get into an ABSN program! Low GPA

    rzyzzy replied to shenouve's topic in General Students

    I'd look at associates programs - many here have articulation agreements & guaranteed admissions deals with BSN programs, so you may not lose much time/credit

  15. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    rzyzzy replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    I'd never say that RN's don't behave in a professional manner, just that using the term "professional" is reaching & unnecessary & could come back to bite us in the behinds in the future....

  16. Unprofessional Statement in Policy Book

    rzyzzy replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Having been part of a team that wrote a "policy & procedures" manual once (in a different field) - I can totally see that happening.. & totally see it making it through legal. What are we...

  17. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    rzyzzy replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    Nope - let's break this down & use an actual definition that's codified in law, shall we? "Learned professional" - I.E., doctor, lawyer, architect, CPA, etc. they all have advanced degrees, beyond...

  18. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    rzyzzy replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    If we're trying to prove or disprove a theory based on education, perhaps we should start small & work our way up first. Rather than trying to correlate for something as big & full of...

  19. New Grad, SNF job

    rzyzzy replied to nbsotelo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So, each pt was allowed 1.5 minutes of your time per hour? lol.. wow. I used to take 30 in LTC, at night, with two aides.. that's why I went back for my RN but FORTY

  20. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    rzyzzy replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    BSN's don't do studies -ADN's & BSN's can participate in studies, but that educational level isn't where studies come from. And the subject of the thread is bedside nursing, and required minimum...

  21. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    rzyzzy replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    here's your problem - the ANA leadership doesn't really "represent" nurses - they tossed LPN's under the bus years ago & they're in the process of tossing ADN's under the bus right now. The ANA is...

  22. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    rzyzzy replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    I don't doubt they were happy to do it, but it's a tremendous waste of a resource to have them at the bedside instead of teaching/precepting or managing the department. You don't use a CPA to do 1040...

  23. I'm FAILING!!!

    rzyzzy replied to na-na's topic in General Students

    i used the Saunders nclex review to study for all my tests in my RN program. My instructors did nclex- style questions exclusively throughout our program, and if you've "leveled up" to...

  24. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    rzyzzy replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    And I'd like to thank you for demanding days! Because so many nurses demand days & no weekends, In my area, nights pay $5 an hour more, and weekend nights pay $7 an hour more. I'm quite happy to...

  25. I Left Work Sick- Can I be Charged With Patient Abandonment?

    rzyzzy replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    In my state, I'm pretty sure you'ld get investigated by the board if an "abandonment" complaint was made under the circumstances you've outlined. Depending on how the complaint was worded & who...
