  1. DWI and taking the NCLEX..

    Epic_RN replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    People make mistakes. We are all human. My brother, the most responsible person I know, has a DUI on his record. Was he plastered? No. Was he stupid to get behind the wheel after 2 drinks 2 hours...

    Epic_RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  4. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    Epic_RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    And even if you DID ask, what is to prevent them from lying and saying they passed the first time to avoid embarrassment/humiliation? There is no way to confirm it, the BON simply lists your license #...

  5. The Long Anticipated Wait: NCLEX Scores

    Epic_RN replied to Joe V's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The waiting for a test while in school is NOTHING compared to the wait after the NCLEX LOL! I live in Cali, no quick results here, and tested on 1/18 -- didn't find out until 2/7 that I passed -- and...

  6. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    Epic_RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    There is a man who graduated the semester before me. He works as a surgical tech, has for years, and is well known for his abilities and intelligence. Last I knew, he was going for his 4th attempt...

  7. MAs call themselves Nurses at my office..opinions please?

    Epic_RN replied to lisaannjamRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a former medical assistant, I have seen this soooo much. It would grate on my nerves every time. I knew I would in the future be pursuing my RN degree and would be very specific about referring to...

  8. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    Epic_RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I find that shocking -- the CC where I received my ADN degree is not like that at ALL. Our instructors were completely involved, had to sign us off on med passes individually before we were allowed to...

  9. Can someone educate me about FMLA, please?

    Epic_RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have nothing to add on the FMLA stuff, just {{{hugs}}} for you and your baby! Take care of yourself, went through this with my youngest, was stabilized, and then the bugger waited all the way until...

  11. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    Epic_RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I have to respectfully disagree with this... The ones who pass with only 75 questions actually have answered more questions at a higher level than those who move on past 75. If you are hovering around...

  12. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    Epic_RN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PVT was reliable for me and the 60+ students that graduated with me, whether they passed or not... Most of the posts I have seen stating the PVT did not work (and I have spent WEEKS reading ALL of...

  13. Dear Pysch Nurses

    Epic_RN replied to Crazed's topic in Psychiatric

    I am NOT a pysch nurse.... In fact I cried every day after clinical during that rotation. I'm not sure if I'm guilty of giving "that look" or not, but my initial reaction is one of awe -- that is one...

  14. how can I switch my lic to another state

    Epic_RN replied to hafsa2009's topic in General Nursing

    The first step I would take in your position would be to go their BON websites. There is usually a FAQ section that covers this information. Hope that

    Epic_RN replied to dekagirlsRN's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't make sense to me either.... Is there any way to ask someone else in that office? Maybe the person who said that was

  16. I need guidance--can any of you wonderful nurses help me?

    Epic_RN replied to aboland1's topic in General Nursing

    I would really caution you before throwing in the towel in your junior year -- you are so close! Get with your program's advisor and see what help is available to you and also consult with the...

  17. My take on how the nursing profession is going...

    Epic_RN replied to I Am ReadyRN's topic in General Nursing

    This thread makes me very thankful to live where I do. We had 60 ADN graduates and 80 BSN graduates in November/December and most of them have positions already. My town has 4 hospitals that use the...

  18. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    Epic_RN replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    My daughter, who will be 13 on Sunday, hates it when I tell this story.... She was about 3 or 4 and we had been staying at a beach house with my brother, SIL, and their 5 year old son. She saw her...

  19. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    Epic_RN replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    My ex-husband, who is a pathological liar, (there are sooo many reasons he's my ex) once told me that he had either a stroke or a seizure in a movie theater, on the ground and convulsing, drove...

  20. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    Epic_RN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So I'm checking in to share my results with PVT. I sat for NCLEX-RN on Jan 18 and stopped at 75 questions. Got home and received the "good popup" stating I couldn't register. After a delay from my...

  24. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    Epic_RN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My name still isn't up on the CA BON site. I called Friday and was told my transcripts weren't in but my schools states they were mailed out on 12/12/11. I found out there are two other classmates who...

    Epic_RN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
