    Just finished my NCLEX... so nervous.

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

    Male Nurse Interactions

    RNsRWe replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    Something tells me you will do just fine: be honest with yourself and the people you work with, and work for (your patients!). Be open to suggestions, and be willing to change....and try not to...

    Male Nurse Interactions

    RNsRWe replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'll give you ANOTHER "flip side": maybe the patient is not "biased and picky", but instead modest in nature and embarrassed about something INTENSELY PRIVATE--such as giving birth--to be witnessed by...

    Do You Ever Ignore Your Employer's VM When They Try to Call You In?

    LOL, it was the ADMIN coming up with this plan that had the chutzpah (nerve, gall, sheer audacity)! ME, otoh, was merely using my invisible verbal racquetball racquet to deflect the....flying...

    Hi, TTJ, and welcome to AN :) The good news for you is that the vast majority of people who test for the first time DO pass; it was something like 91% passing the last time I checked out the stats....

    How soon after the NCLEX can you try the P-Vue trick?

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

    Yes. One in particular sticks out in my mind, because it was so sad; lots of embarrassing telephone calls rescinding the "good news", like that. I recall someone saying that she and a friend tested...

    Before I looked at your 'experience: 24 years' line, I would have thought you a new nurse! These are the ones most typically guilted into pulling yet another extra shift when it's convenient for the...

    If you did the PVT less than 24 hours after you completed your exam, you did it prematurely, and payment was made based on the initial scoring failure. After 24 hours' time, both sets of scores are...

    I'm sorry, you are quite mistaken. One hour after your exam all you know is what the first score was, NOT the final one. And for enough people that it's worth discussing, they are NOT the same. The...

    Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

    Hmm....if you mean that he is assumed to be the doctor, even though *I* am his preceptor? Then, LOL, I suppose yes...but once they KNOW he's an RN, not an MD?
