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

    Maybe this will help some of you who are still struggling to understand the PVT, and why it is or isn't "working for you". https://allnurses.com/random-valuable-nclex-facts-t558002/ I can tell by...

    Pierce County, Washington nurses suing over mandatory flu shots

    RNsRWe replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Not at all. Said person should ask for (and receive) the egg-free version. It exists, and is administered for those who claim an egg allergy. Ok, one problem averted. Allergic to the preservatives...

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

    RNsRWe replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When still a new/newish nurse, but as a second-career newbie who obviously wasn't fresh out of the gate, I met that line of questioning with "Long enough to know not to answer THAT question!" with a...

    I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    RNsRWe replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    This would also tell me that those same hospitals/facilities that won't have the students there for clinical rotations ALSO won't HIRE them after graduation. Something to think about. Won't matter if...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    Competition can be fierce, even for an interview (as you've found out!). There are so many differences between VAMCs and how they handle the boarding process. Yours, it seems, is a pretty grueling...

    Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    RNsRWe replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    On a silly side note, my (autistic) son recently informed me that he was a Super Secret Ninja. While I don't think it's necessary to address him as such, I would not be offended if someone actually...

    why do nurses discourage nursing students?

    RNsRWe replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course, the short answer to THAT is that college recruiters earn their pay by getting you enrolled.....NOT by "telling it like it is in the real world" (which is why there are so many disillusioned...

    Guess I'll throw my two cents onto the pile :) Not only did I not see anything wrong in this email, I found myself thinking "I'd take this instuctor in a heartbeat!" This person was concerned,...

    I passed WITHOUT the good pop up

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

    It's more than most can afford to lose, which is why we are constantly telling people to wait a minimum of 24 hours prior to trying it. And you DO have to actually submit the credit card info in...

    What's to be confused about? You passed, so.....what's the confusion? You can look up a New York State license very easily by name and type of license. If your name isn't there, you haven't yet been...

    Took the NCLEX today. I can't breathe!

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

    Hi! And now it's time to calm down and breathe :) First, and foremost, the PVT IS NOT VALID prior to 24 hours. The previous poster, and anyone else who says "it works right away" is only saying that...

    No shift differential during orientation?

    RNsRWe replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't believe it's common, although it doesn't matter if it is: it's what you signed on for. I think it's an odd arrangement, but if it's in writing and it's your facility's policy for ALL new...

    RNsRWe replied to Grea's topic in General Students

    When you contacted the schools you're interested in and asked them these questions, did they not answer you? You DID ask the school's admissions/academic counselors these questions,

    Asking for salary raise.

    RNsRWe replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    OP, just noticed something: you said your raise would be 2% of your "monthly salary"; did you mean your annual salary (2% of your yearly pay) or only 2% of one month's pay? If the latter, I'd see it...
