    RNsRWe replied to Morgan1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm guessing you didn't see the other threads asking this question....so here ya go: The answer to your question is NO. Quick Results are calculated from completion of test; they cannot score a test...

    RNsRWe replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine lives in PA, and we were commiserating that we were living in two of the highest-taxed States in the Union......starting to see one of the reasons

    Accelerated BSN Degrees (clarification)

    RNsRWe replied to adrag's topic in General Nursing

    Before you would be eligible for a CRNA program, you would first have to be a licensed, working RN. At this point, you are looking for a good BSN program, one that would prepare you well to pass the...

    New Grads VA Hiring

    RNsRWe replied to kgg6's topic in Government, Military

    The short answer is YES, the VA does hire new grads; there is a very nice internship program for BSN students who are still in school (VALOR program). The longer answer is whether you will be hired...

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

    Ain't that the truth! But much like babies will reach for shiny things, test-takers will reach for any clue that tells them how they did, to ease anxiety

    Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

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

    I do believe you'd be just fine if you wait the full 24 hours.....the problem comes in when it's tried too early, as in right after the test is done, and THEN you DO risk the loss (no matter what the...

    I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

    RNsRWe replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As I'm reading through this thread, I think it might be worth mentioning that it's not just a difference between US States as to what each State's Nurse Practice Act allows LPN/LVNs to do. It's also...

    Getting unemployment for called off

    RNsRWe replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow....you were able to collect unemployment after quitting, and not being available to work (post-baby, that is)? In NY, if you are not ready and available to work at any moment, you don't qualify...

    CNA claims to be a nurse - what to do?

    RNsRWe replied to tinaroselpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, I see you've added a poll, but.....I don't understand what you are asking! If you are asking if you should report illegal behavior, then YES, you should. If you are unsure if illegal behavior is...

    recommendation letters

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

    removed.....how? If it's a requirement for the school to which you are applying, and it isn't there, I imagine you'd receive notice that your application wasn't complete. Most applications are done...

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

    For the group of 45 people you are mentioning, their second scores all matched their first scores. Yay! But that is NOT the same thing as when they do NOT match, which is the whole POINT of waiting 24...

    Random Valuable NCLEX Facts :)

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

    Thank you ? Alas, it is not a Sticky. But because not all such threads get read, in short time someone will post a complete fallacy as truth ("I hear if you get lots of SATA you're doing GREAT") or...

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

    Uh...no, that's NOT what I said, you really should read more carefully before you go off as you did. I SAID she was charged $5 and NOT allowed to register again. AND I said I expected it was a...

    Is it OK to discipline nurses extra for calling in sick on a holiday?

    RNsRWe replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You seriously concluded THIS from what I wrote?! Wow. NO, I wouldn't do as you suggest. It isn't "stretching" what I wrote for another comparison, it's a hugely inaccurate leap that I take issue...

    RNsRWe replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I know different States have different rules, but I know in my own State there is a threshhold for filing that would include working less than four days in a week, AND making below the minimum amount...

    Florida hospital new hire physical

    RNsRWe replied to rndva's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome. And if they look at you funny it's because they haven't had anyone faint in awhile, LOL, not because you're an RN who gets the willies at having needles stuck into her :) Good

    Florida hospital new hire physical

    RNsRWe replied to rndva's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. I'm really good at sticking needles into other people, REALLY good at it actually, but really HATE having it done to me! Experience in getting YOURSELF stuck, LOL, is about the only thing...

    CNA claims to be a nurse - what to do?

    RNsRWe replied to tinaroselpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A CNA who is a "manager in home health"? Manager of what? And, as Libby asked....WHO is she telling she is a nurse? If it's to patients, people who are looking to her for care, then that's something...

    Florida hospital new hire physical

    RNsRWe replied to rndva's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, ok. Well, that will largely depend on the facility request, and the practitioner performing the exam. You certainly would NOT be asked to pick up an actual patient (ACK!--liability, anyone??)...

    care plan ?

    Erika: you have made several posts on multiple forums that leave me a bit confused. You asked about getting into nursing schools with a low GPA, which indicates you might be trying to become a...

    Florida hospital new hire physical

    RNsRWe replied to rndva's topic in General Nursing

    From what you wrote, sounds like you ALREADY know what to expect of a pre-employment physical. Actual physical exam, blood/urine testing. Don't have anything to hide, don't have anything to worry...

    EVANGELISM IN WARD

    RNsRWe replied to Oyinz24's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    NO ONE is more sensitive to proselytizing than I, trust me on that! Here in the US, I'm with you 100%. But it IS important to note where the OP currently is, as the culture and expectations are not...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    If by "offer" you mean the $$ part, that will stay the same (whatever they initially offered is what you get if hired). Unless, of course, you ask that it be reevaluated, based on addiitonal data you...
