    My exam

    RNsRWe replied to llashaundtx2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your exam is scored twice within a 24 hour period of time. Any attempt at PVT prior to 24 hours results in you knowing ONLY what the first scoring was. Which is of no use, IMHO. AFTER 24 hours, if...

    Congrats on passing! And you offer a PERFECT example of what not to do, LOL....I post on this subject A LOT, and never ever tell anyone to put in invalid credit info, as it's completely unreliable....

    It's a magical mythical unknowable number, LOL.....someone posted here that he/she did the PN in 25 minutes, the RN in 39 (I think?) minutes, sorry don't remember exactly, but that's about...

    Please help! IP has been cancelled, no update on license. What does this mean?

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

    You're welcome....and BREATHE :) California BoN gets away with murder, IMHO, because it takes them SO LONG to do what other States do in much less time. Yes, it's a large State, but so is Texas and...

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

    #1, stop freaking out. Doesn't look good on you #2, YES, it is normal to have temporary (interim) permits cancelled once the holder takes the NCLEX. After all, once you have taken the test you...

    Flagged again?

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

    If you took an "average" amount of time to complete the NCLEX, no flag is raised for completion time. But since you took it in an inordinantly SHORT period of time, it's flagged as a potential...

    New grad and HIPAA question

    RNsRWe replied to CTnewgrad826's topic in General Nursing

    Bingo. Acknowledging even that someone is an inpatient is providing information that the general public does not know, so....TMI. When I worked the floor, we had to be SO careful about telephone...

    Do you lie when they ask, "how long?"

    Uniform Stores....A Vent

    RNsRWe replied to TNurse4u's topic in General Nursing

    And I'll get one more thought out: In recent years, a couple national chains closed a couple of stores in my area. People were all up in arms about it: loss of jobs (no doubt a problem), loss of...

    Uniform Stores....A Vent

    RNsRWe replied to TNurse4u's topic in General Nursing

    While it's a common policy to require tags to still be in place on items, since the OP just purchased the shirt a matter of a few days' prior, I don't think it'd be earth-shattering if they took it...

    Replacing medical bag supples

    RNsRWe replied to becoll's topic in General Students

    Is there a medical supply store in your town, where people who have home health needs can buy these items? If you know anyone who works in home health in your area, they may know of one if you don't....

    work for a student nurse

    RNsRWe replied to HumbleB9's topic in General Students

    CNA work is the most basic foundation of nursing work, so you might want to reconsider your thoughts about NOT pursuing it. You asked what some entry level jobs were that might benefit you in your...

    Venting and Sub-par Programs

    RNsRWe replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    OP, I've read through this thread, and honestly don't know why you are doing what you are doing. Truly. You knew going into this program that the school's reputation was "awful"....yet you enrolled....

    I nees tips . Failed the nclex on last month :(

    RNsRWe replied to nurse_w91's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OP, pharmacology may be your weakest area, but failing at 75 questions indicates you were not close to passing in any category....so your study plan needs to be global. Good

    EVANGELISM IN WARD

    RNsRWe replied to Oyinz24's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think before we make any rash judgments about the OP, one very clear question needs to be asked and answered: "Are you still in Nigeria, right now?" If the answer to the above question is "yes",...

    Too soon to take NCLEX-RN?

    RNsRWe replied to piratenurse1222's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's too soon if you feel ill-prepared. It's not too soon if you feel ready for it :) Sounds like you ARE ready for it, so....Good

    RNsRWe replied to Jtkknj's topic in Government, Military

    I do think this is one of the biggest misconceptions about VA, that because they are "all over" the country, one can simply transfer to the location he or she desires. Absolutely not so! People apply...

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

    Just goes to show people can lose all sense of reason sometimes. You're correct, the $200 fee to register for another test is not refundable, and the person who pays this fee much acknowledge on two...

    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 know what I wish? That there weren't nursing staff who abuse the system to the point that unreasonable and unfair restrictions are placed on those who don't (abuse the system). In a perfect...

    I often repeat this phrase, because it is SO TRUE: "When you've seen one VA....you've seen ONE VA". There are certainly similarities, and some things really are exactly the same. But those things...
