    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Virginia Nursing

    It looks like it is LPNs, not NPs. But, yes there are going to be requirements for practical and registered

    How do people fail the NCLEX ?

    wish_me_luck replied to mhy12784's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    KJ, I passed NCLEX first try 75 questions, I walked out thinking I failed...I didn't think it was that easy...I had studied things in terms of scenarios, so seeing straight forward questions was

    wish_me_luck replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nursing Career

    CurlyKirby, welcome to the "Rock the Boat" club. That is all. I am small and thin, but when I have been on the patient side of things, I did have overweight nurses and they were really good. Not...

    wish_me_luck replied to dawnneod's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You must disclose all of it when asked. That being said, even if Kansas' application doesn't ask that stuff, now that you have applied in OK, it will probably be in NURSYS. They check NURSYS as...

    Thought I would have a job by now. Getting depressed

    wish_me_luck replied to SWRNUSA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What the heck is going to happen when all these new grads without jobs look into other careers/jobs and do not come back to nursing and the older nurses retire? You will start from scratch and the...

    wish_me_luck replied to SWRNUSA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I will say get your BSN and relocate. I have had 4 interviews and 1 coming up (as long as it doesn't get cancelled). I have a BSN and most of the interviews were in areas away from where I

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, gosh. Where do I begin...so many replies. I'll try and explain maybe more about me (and my situation) briefly and why I feel the way I do. I applied for every job in the beginning--before I...

    How often do bad references for good workers happen?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have heard of cases where the worker was a great worker and did really good quality work and an employer would give a bad reference in an attempt to keep them from getting a job and retaining the...

    I told someone in PM, the reason why I knew I would not be popular had nothing to do with purposely making people mad. The reason I put that statement in the original post is because for whatever...

    Student, it is the same question. Maybe poorly articulated earlier, but it is the same question and what I meant. That's why I said, out of all these responses, maybe 6-7 people answered the question....
