What about on the NCLEX?

Consult the stability framework for prioritizing patients.

Good. Then, no one's character will be called into question over something this trivial.

Paying Pearson-Vue seems to speed it up; your school should send a roster of graduates pretty quickly, so it shouldn't be that long... I applied mid april, graduated may 12, and got my att july 16. I was in Europe until August 18th and from August 1...

OP, I think it's great you're concerned about your appearance in nursing school! I think it shows that you are eager to learn and that you don't want anything standing in the way of being the very best nurse you can be. I get being nervous about sta...

I know in my school, they had the blank anatomy structures available online. What I did that worked wonders is printed color copies of the structures, bought those little plastic page insert things, and a wet-erase marker (the kind used for old-fashi...

If you're asking the director of your nursing program where the bathroom is, that might be your first problem...

Also, I don't think many CNAs are catching feelings about the pvt and definitely aren't being judgy about it.

You got me! I used to be a CNA back in the early 2000s before I ever found this site. Good mathing (and sleuthing), badger!

You are claiming you've never lied in your life? Wow. Your poop must smell mighty nice.

I am a nurse actually.

Polyplatamist?

The artists are affected by bootlegging. So they are not the same thing. Servers have to be serviced and maintained anyway. Doing pvt with a gift card and getting "the good pop up does not affect that whatsoever. Every single person on this planet ...

I'm sorry, it does not meet the criteria for actual fraud.

Also, Pearson-Vue is an enormous company that administers a butt-ton of different tests I am confident it is a completely automated payment system in which no actual people are harmed by the pvt. Their servers can handle it.

You know, I didn't realize internet nurses were such harsh judges of character. I'm so glad these are opinions of online personas and have no impact on my real life whatsoever. I would like to believe that in real life y'all aren't this judgemental. ...

Plain and simple, that is slippery slope logic (if/then arguments tend to be). Just like if marriage equality laws pass, then before you know it people will be marrying their pet ducks. Totally ridiculous in my opinion.

Think abut it? Okay; I would be just fine if the nurse taking care of me or my loved ones did the new pvt with a $5 gift card and got "the good pop up" if he/she was providing safe and compassionate care. I would not discredit their character or inte...

I just loled and scared off the cat. This thread is the best.

According to an online source (the free dictionary, maybe?) Fraud must be proved by showing that the defendant's actions involved five separate elements: (1) a false statement of a material fact,(2) knowledge on the part of the defendant that the st...

But people who use a gift card with five bucks on it who get "the good pop up" are dishonest people who are devoid of integrity.

Why not go to med school and be a pediatrician? Just curious

I accept that. I just think it can be all about you when it's all about you, but all about patients at work. You know the old "Wipe your feet at the door," kind of thing.

I don't think doing the pvt has any bearing on a person's ability to provide safe and compassionate care to one's patients. That's a stretch. If doing pvt is demonstrative of poor judgement, where is the line drawn? Nurses are not saints.

Good thing "did you do the Pearson-Vue trick?" isn't a standard interview question. I have strong feelings about judging someone's entire character based on a single act of "dishonesty." It's dishonest to say you weigh 125 lbs on your driver's licens...
