    VA switching to Cerner?

    RNsRWe replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    You mean VISTa, which still is? I swear I can hear gerbils in there, running furiously to make the wheel turn that chisels the

    My gpa is a 3.14

    RNsRWe replied to Enrique22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NO ONE can possibly answer this intelligently for you. Some schools, some regions of the country will have such crushing competition that a 3.9 is too low. Others have a far less competitive area to...

    Better NCLEX Pass Rates, Better School?

    RNsRWe replied to UCFAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Speaking in general terms, a school SHOULD put a high priority on having a high NCLEX passing rate. I don't think I'd use the term "forced tons of students to drop out before the NCLEX"; I'd think of...

    HELP for NCLEX-PN please

    RNsRWe replied to lizwhitley's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok. It did look like you were placing a blame before you even TOOK the test, which seemed odd. Maybe it's just how I read it. Thing is, I guess what I'm saying is that it doesn't matter that you...

    Can we lay to rest the "compassion" nonsense?

    RNsRWe replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, the request to "stop it" comes up now and then....and is promptly ignored in favor of "I'd never want you to be my nurse, you should learn compassion, what kind of a nurse ARE you" posts. They...

    Failed NCLEX help!

    RNsRWe replied to emmes1qt's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think before anyone can reasonably suggest something for you, you'd have to have your Candidate Performance Report in hand so YOU know what you need help in. What were you near passing or below...

    Just finished NCLEX! YOIKES!

    RNsRWe replied to RookieRoo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First, stop freaking out. It doesn't look good on you and it hasn't helped anyone yet Next, realize that around 85% of US educated candidates pass the NCLEX on their first attempt. Having the...

    HELP for NCLEX-PN please

    RNsRWe replied to lizwhitley's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    FWIW, your school not releasing your info to the BoN had ZERO bearing on whether you studied effectively or not. It seems like you are blaming the school for keeping you from studying well....? That...

    MMR Vaccine

    RNsRWe replied to CodeBrownQueen's topic in General Students

    It's also entirely possible you ARE immune to measles. Sometimes a blood sample will simply not contain enough antibodies to indicate immunity, BUT when there are multiple tests being run from a...

    Discrimination in nursing school?

    RNsRWe replied to Mommiof4's topic in General Students

    Where I work, there is a very clear physical description of the various jobs within nursing, and if one does not meet the requirements, one does not get the job. Reasonable accommodation MAY be put...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, now you guys have gone and done it: having FUN with a thread dooms it to closure! Then again, closing this out probably would be the best thing for it at this

    Mandatory flu vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    We don't know that to be a fact, actually. Thread isn't about alternative methods of prevention, nor personal anecdotes, it is about the idea of mandatory masking if not getting the mandatory...

    By using Google. A few keywords from the crackpot's lexicon, and Whalla! They found us. Much like they will find this thread too, by searching for the very very bad word

    Discovered a boo-boo on Social Media

    RNsRWe replied to mmc51264's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was surprised to see this thread still alive, so I peeked back in. OP, you wrote that you did not even KNOW the person who made the allegation of discrimination in hiring practices. You don't work...

    I Want to be a Nurse

    RNsRWe replied to Ashanti Green's topic in General Nursing

    You are only barely into your Junior year of high school, so you have some time to work on improving your grades. You WILL need to do this, as well as do well on SATs. As for all the rest, I...

    Mandatory flu vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    If you have not had the vaccination (for whatever reason) then you are capable of spreading the illness to others before you recognize signs of illness in yourself. So, yes, it makes sense to have...

    I used Kaplan and didn't pass NCLEX on 1st try

    RNsRWe replied to angelctz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A point of clarification for someone who posted here that Kaplan "guaranteed a pass"--- this is incorrect. Here's their actual guarantee: "If you are a graduate of an ACEN, CCNE, or CASN-accredited...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    You are demonstrating that you STILL don't get it. We are TALKING about nursing experience, and the relationship between students and nurses. If someone was CEO of a major corporation and then...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    YOU opened this up, as it was YOU who said "floor nurses are there to instruct, to mentor", as well as " The hospital accepted the students, therefore that is part of the mission as well as patient...

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I revisited this thread and something posted reminded me of something I had obviously forgotten, but now jumped back with clarity: one of my CIs took the time to tell us (the clinical group that day,...
