   4th x NCLEX RN

   RNsRWe replied to RN San Antonio's topic in NCLEX

   Then the person responding to you is typical of most customer service representatives in most Boards of Nursing I find: if they don't know the answer they make one up. After talking with hundreds of people... maybe thousands of people over who know...

   4th x NCLEX RN

   RNsRWe replied to RN San Antonio's topic in NCLEX

   When you pay $7.95 to Pearson Vue for Quick Results, of course it's accurate. It's what you PAID for. The "trick" that far too many people are enamored of is a game, and is NOT accurate. QR are unofficial but NOT inaccurate.

   Cannot find no ADN programs!

   RNsRWe replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

   Well, OP, since you are clearly very knowledgeable on the topic and are quite certain that everyone responding to you is completely wrong....why don't you just do exactly what your friend is doing? From what you are saying, you seem to be the only o...

   Cannot find no ADN programs!

   RNsRWe replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

   One more thought, OP: would you honestly be able to say that you would choose to have your child, spouse or parent under the care of someone who skipped courses, didn't attend clinicals, and might not be able to write intelligibly in English (so that...

   Cannot find no ADN programs!

   RNsRWe replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

   SO MANY things wrong here: OP, you cannot do what you are trying to do, period. This is why you are having such a hard time. Online programs are designed for those who are already RNs to achieve a higher degree. You are not eligible. My strong sugge...

   Did I pass NClex? I used PVT. Haaallllp!!!!

   RNsRWe replied to vanialcruz's topic in NCLEX

   No. I am (extremely) well-versed in CAT systems and your assessment would be incorrect. A person who continues to receive questions is NOT "below the passing level"; more questions are asked because the candidate has been inconsistent regarding cor...

   Did I pass NClex? I used PVT. Haaallllp!!!!

   RNsRWe replied to vanialcruz's topic in NCLEX

   On what do you base this statement? There is no such fact saying that the more questions you get, the greater your chances of failing. Why scare people unnecessarily? Again...this is scaring people for no reason. People most certainly DO pass at ...

   The must have T-shirt for every male nurse!

   RNsRWe replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Students

   1. You have just attacked someone who only offered you suggestions on how YOU might avoid looking truly stupid upon your first appearance in nursing school. Not sure how you find a correlation between recognizing your poor attempt at humor as poor t...

   Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

   RNsRWe replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

   Well, I guess it's good for students that some will :) As I said, I have done this, after a night shift that took 13 hours to complete. Would I do it ALOT? No. Would I do it once? Did, and had a nice time with a nice student. Not everyone will, but...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    RNsRWe replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    Cancer is a condition that creates a significant body of evidence, and recognizable, well-known adverse effects that CAN be managed (for some, for many) with monitored medical marijuana. NO doubt. But I'm curious about how the practitioners that p...

    shut off at 76..

    RNsRWe replied to lizD0617's topic in NCLEX

    Well, I guess the obvious answer is, "No". You must reach a 95% Confidence Interval in order for the test to end; the people whose exam concluded at 75 questions were able to reach a high enough level of questioning and maintain it to reach the 95% ...

    Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    RNsRWe replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    I have. Used to work nocs, and met with a student at 0800 after I gave report. SHE had coffee, *I* had orange juice, and after a half hour chat, we went our separate ways. Couple of years later she started on my unit.....I was charge nurse....and ...

    Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    RNsRWe replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    On the point about non-nurses (let alone non-RNs) telling people they are nurses when they are not, I just finished with a patient...he told me he worked "in healthcare". Oh, what do you do? "I help physicians and nurses get their jobs done". Umm.....

    Pearson Vue Trick October 2015

    RNsRWe replied to NurseLovesbacon's topic in NCLEX

    It "works" only insofar as most of the time the popup you get matches with the end result. Sometimes it doesn't (and this has happened more often in the last six months than ever before). Sometimes people pay for a new registration they don't need ...

    Nursing Student applicant help

    RNsRWe replied to futurenurse1657's topic in General Students

    Honestly, as long as the nursing school you attend has a great local reputation, that is all you need. If you want UPenn, of course, apply. Just realize that competition for new grad jobs is steep, and you might find that Ivy League degree VERY exp...
