    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    RNsRWe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You know how everyone has pet peeves, words or phrases that people use that drive other people nuts? Funny thing about this thread is that for me, "research" as in "I've done my research" has long...

    NCLEX- how many attempts is too many?

    RNsRWe replied to dinah77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As long as there are States that are happy to collect application fees for years on end.....as long as Pearson Vue can continue to charge $200 for every NCLEX taken, regardless of how many times any...

    PVT on "test results are on hold status"

    RNsRWe replied to marvz87's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Goodluck! Just keep in mind that results are only released once the Hold is lifted...if you still have a hold, you still won't know anything via QR until it is. Hang in there....it'll all be over...

    2015 pearson vue trick worked

    RNsRWe replied to tiburonster111's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! But you DID get official results; Pearson Vue charges $8 for providing you with a valid pass or fail result. Getting a LICENSE, however, that's a different matter. But results you paid for...

    PVT on "test results are on hold status"

    RNsRWe replied to marvz87's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The answer is "none of the above" A hold is placed on an exam for any number of reasons, and there are many: finishing exam quickly (which isn't your case, just mentioning it), glitches at the...

    Is this the good pop up?

    RNsRWe replied to pittnurse24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The PVT only has validity of done at least 24 hours after completion of the exam. Prior to that, any pop up viewed is meaningless. Why? Because your exam is scored twice: once immediately upon...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    RNsRWe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I commented initially after 45 pages; I see it's still thriving at 58 pages but now I've got a new embarrassment blooming. It's bad enough to have people who believe the anti-vax conspiracy movement...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    RNsRWe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, I think not. Although I have no hard statistics, only my own anecdotal observations, I'd have to say I see no correlation whatsoever between the college degree earned and ability to comprehend...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    RNsRWe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I made myself read through this entire thread (FORTY-FIVE PAGES?!) before responding. And now that I'm here.....I'm just too stunned by the ignorance I've witnessed to be able to formulate a polite...

    The B word. Again!

    RNsRWe replied to Esme12's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I had a totally different "B" word in mind!! But yes, I'm in the same delightful snowbelt region, and I have 7 foot WALLS of snow on either side of my driveway; it's a plowed, wide driveway and...

    Help? I regret this career choice?

    RNsRWe replied to katie6126's topic in General Students

    The bottom line, OP, after having read through 8 pages of posts, is that you need to do whatever it is that you need to do, and none of us can really help you with any of it. Most, if not all of the...

    Question about pregnancy and job!!

    RNsRWe replied to Nikku's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you mean will you get hired when pregnant, I can tell you that the law does not allow discrimination against a pregnant applicant. That said, you will...

    Failed the NCLEX-RN exam on the first time

    RNsRWe replied to buckeyegirl19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, the good news with 265 questions is that you were on the fence for a long time, but unfortunately landed on the 'fail' side of the fence in the end. Take a look at your CPR to see where you...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos to you! :) I find, along with the trend toward APRN, are those who enter nursing with the intention of never actually touching a patient. Weird way to approach nursing if you ask me, but that's...

    Nclex Exam Pn 2015 experience

    RNsRWe replied to Pree35's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Unfortunately, you did exactly what we counsel people here against, which is doing the PVT prematurely. Pure waste of time and money. There is nothing you can do at this point but wait. As an FYI,...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    True, but I think a bigger impression is made by those who tend to spout and sputter about why they aren't getting what they deserve (worked for/earned/have a right to). There will always be subpar...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, excellent points. And you're right. I guess I was thinking mostly in terms of these kinds of nurses being short-lived, therefore not making a longlasting impact.....but you are right in that...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    To some degree, the crappiest pop-up nursing schools tend to not impact the profession too greatly, IMHO, simply by virtue of the fact that so many of their graduates cannot pass the NCLEX to save...

    Understanding Herd Immunity from Vaccination - How much is enough?
