  1. 265 q's = pass??

    Raviepoo replied to hellomello's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks. That's good

  2. 265 q's = pass??

    Raviepoo replied to hellomello's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My instructor told my class that some people are pre-selected to answer all 265 questions, whether or not they are qualified to pass by the 75th question. It's one of the ways they test out new...

  3. first nursing job offer but no benefits?

    Raviepoo replied to loveteenamarie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would take that job in a New York minute, but then I get my health insurance through my husband's employer. It sounds like a really interesting first

  4. ANA petitions Feds (educ. funding) for 1.1 million more RN's within 8 yrs.

    Raviepoo replied to Guttercat's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In my area there are TONS of RN jobs open. They are not for newly minted, AD RNs, but an experienced RN can't swing a dead cat without hitting a job opening. Maybe it's not as bad out there as we...

  5. personality test for job interview

    Raviepoo replied to BrendaH84's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have always suspected that a company that requires a personality test is not a company I want to work

  6. Student Appeal

    Raviepoo replied to studentrn12's topic in General Students

    If you can make a a convincing case that you would have caught the error on the 3rd check, then by all means, appeal. What do you have to lose? Just don't offend any of the higher ups. The above...

  7. Thank you, guides and admins, and everyone else who comments on these threads

    Raviepoo posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My ADN is almost finished and I've been researching my next step. The continuing education options for ADN nurses are soooooo confusing to me. One of my instructors has said that it's ridiculous for...

  8. No worries USA. Only healthcare workers will be exposed to ebola.

    Raviepoo posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Last night I read that the CDC is planning to transport at least one American Citizen with the ebola virus to Atlanta for treatment. Driving around today my car radio kept assaulting me with experts...

  9. Thank you, guides and admins, and everyone else who comments on these threads

    Raviepoo replied to Raviepoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I know where I want to go, eventually, after solidifying my skills. I want a PhD in nursing research. I haven't found a BSN - MSN program that leads down that path. I don't need an MSN to get into...

  10. failed my TEAS test

    Raviepoo replied to nurse2262-2b's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    ATI sells a TEAS study book. It might be able to help you. Go to their website atitesting.com to find the current edition and price. you can probably get it much cheaper from ebay or amazon. I...

  11. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    Raviepoo replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I applied to UT Arlington a few days ago. I haven't requested all my transcripts and I don't have an answer about what I need to take. I'll keep y'all

  12. New Nursing Student(Not getting the concept of it)

    Raviepoo replied to alayzhial's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's your first quiz. Learn from it, and do better on the next one. You've already figured out that reading the chapter won't do it for you. Awesome! You're learning. DO you have someone(s) to...

  13. What's the next step after failing nursing school

    Raviepoo replied to nursing212's topic in General Students

    In my case the next step was finding another school to attend (after some soul searching.) I rocked it and became an LPN. I'm now in my final semester of RN school. It can be done, just as long as...

  14. HUGE RANT Since when does LPN experience not count for ANY kind of nursing experience

    Raviepoo replied to missymis86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    That is not my experience as an LPN. I do much more than passing meds and "glorified CNA" work. I'm IV certified. I work with trach's, tube feeds, wounds and IVs. There are a few things that the...

  15. RN to MSN?

    Raviepoo replied to sarrra23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Talk to your BON. Find out if the DNP degree is required of NPs in your state. You might not be able to function as an NP unless you get a doctorate. Or maybe you will. It all depends on the laws...

  16. Silliest answer someone has said in class?

    Raviepoo replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The silliest thing I ever heard in a class was said by an instructor who asserted that abortion causes depression. That idea was debunked a long time ago. I wanted to call her out, but I sat on my...

  17. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    Raviepoo replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    University of Texas at Arlington. The largest nursing school in the nation. Part of the public University of Texas system. Online RN to BSN consists of 8 nursing courses, 35 hours at $257 per...

  18. So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    Raviepoo replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    That is the real problem. As I said before, you are being treated like a thing - an asset for their use. Why should you treat your employer any differently? Yes, we all know that we are signing up...

  19. So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    Raviepoo replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    No job is worth that. There are other jobs out there. Quit and start applying for them (not necessarily in that order.) You are not a thing. You are a human being. An employer that treats you like...

  20. Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    Raviepoo replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well. There goes my plan for "Retirement." I guess I won't be working like a dog until I drop while my husband sips Mai Tais on the beach.

  21. Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    Raviepoo replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    [h=1]The thing is, you SHOULD quit your job, sell your house and sail to Hawaii. Everyone should. Every single person on Earth would be happier if they would just realize

  22. WGU RN to MSN if the ultimate goal is a PhD in nursing research?

    Raviepoo posted a topic in Western Governors University

    I have a degree in another subject and I am finishing my ASN after working as an LPN for a few years. I would ultimately like to earn a PhD in nursing research. For now, I want to finish a BSN. One...

  23. I am a nurse, darn it!

    Raviepoo replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    If you are popping over to their house to do that kind of thing for them without getting paid, you are setting up expectations that no agency will be able to sustain. You're the client's best friend,...

  24. I am a nurse, darn it!

    Raviepoo replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    You need to find a job with a different agency. Clients being allowed to call the nurse directly is a recipe for disaster. What if there is something urgent going on and you are on vacation, in the...

  25. Failed the RN program still want to be an Rn . Help !

    Raviepoo replied to student0810's topic in General Students

    Maybe. I'm giving the OP the benefit of the doubt. Did her father die halfway through the semester? Was she thrown out of her house? Did her high school sweetheart cheat and break up with her?...
