    Unsure???

    RNsRWe replied to patriotgal181's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, I read your other posts, so I know that you are 18, newly a CNA, newly in an RN program, thinking about L&D, and recently asking about becoming a doula. That's a whole lotta 'new'! While I...

    Will I be accepted to Nursing school?

    RNsRWe replied to Arsilver13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any chance you've talked to a nursing/academic advisor for this school about your chances? Seems to make a lot more sense than asking people on a message board who have no idea what UNG even is....?...

    Can I lose my license???

    RNsRWe replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't get any sort of newsletter from the BoN, but I'll take a look at the website. I think the thing that interests me most WON'T be there, as in it will only list those against whom an action was...

    Anyone dealt with COBRA?

    RNsRWe replied to tnmarie's topic in General Nursing

    I've used COBRA, paid my policy premium for my family (EXPENSIVE) and still didn't have any prescription coverage. Why not? Because my employer had it set up as a separate rider, NOT "part of" the...

    Differentials make a difference

    RNsRWe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my, yes. When I stopped working nights, weekends, and holidays, my pay dropped significantly! I changed jobs so that my pay wouldn't actually be much lower (bump up in pay for the new job,...

    Did anything really help you pass nclex?

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

    Using ANY study method or study program will help you pass; if you don't pass you will say that it didn't. Fact is, they ALL are designed to help you study, but will not "make" you pass when you are...

    time limit to retake NCLEX RN in texas

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

    If you meet the application requirements for another State, you may apply to that State and take the NCLEX again. Once a license is obtained from that State, you can apply for an endorsement back to...

    Can I lose my license???

    RNsRWe replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Elk....Ruby....Rose.....wow. OMG, and these people continue to hold nursing licenses. Or, as in Ruby's story--get PROMOTED. It would be comical if it weren't so

    Can I date the nurse who took care my mother before she passed away?

    RNsRWe replied to m4a123's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you've received all the "corrections" you may need, and some very good advice. While we appreciate the depth of your loss and the probable reasoning for the attachment you made......it's time...

    Can I lose my license???

    RNsRWe replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Something THIS severe warrants only a suspension?? And there are people who will shriek "I'm not giving that PRN a half hour early, I'm not going to risk losing my license!!" Seems we police ourselves...

    Can I lose my license???

    RNsRWe replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There's a really large assortment of threads here that discuss people worrying about losing their licenses ("loosing", but that's another story!)......and it seems that you practically have to kill...

    Can you be a member of NSNA as a new RN?

    RNsRWe replied to FinallyRNStatus's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ah, I see. And like the username change :) That's got to be QUITE an accelerated program! All college requirements for a Bachelor degree in nursing met in only four months?? Even with holding the...

    Why am I starting out making 19 an hour?

    RNsRWe replied to NewgradMary's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wages vary greatly by geographic region and whether you are rural or metro. Supply/demand affects wages considerably, too: when there was a shortage, nursing paid more. TONS of new grads to choose...

    Can you be a member of NSNA as a new RN?

    Welcome to AN; sorry about the failure with any luck we can help :) First, forget about listening to what anyone tells you about the "type" of question you get meaning something important. It...

    Areas of nursing you would NOT like?

    RNsRWe replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny how what we thought we'd love and hate stay the same, and how they change. I thought I would NEVER do med-surg, or at least avoid it like the plague, when I was in that clinical rotation in...

    Areas of nursing you would NOT like?

    RNsRWe replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I think the worst are young MEN in pain, like 20-somethings who turn into toddlers when it comes to handling pain :) Second to that....young women.....never could get used to those who kept a...

    Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

    RNsRWe replied to Mnurse10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    And you're a perfect example of why I do this....so thank YOU :) Someone had queried why we might discourage people from doing the PVT prior to 24 hours post-test completion when some State BoNs post...

    Is the VA a good place to work?

    RNsRWe replied to Morainey's topic in Government, Military

    In my experience, those that complain the most about working at VA have not had any jobs other than Federal ones, or haven't worked in the private sector for many, MANY years. Having an easy...

    RNsRWe replied to newkidnurse's topic in General Nursing

    VERY interesting! I have never heard of this practice, and it intrigues me. Would be interested in knowing the details of the elevated K+ when a sample is obtained this way. Honestly didn't think...

    Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

    RNsRWe replied to Mnurse10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My apologies for the off-tone. It is the result of frustration, I suppose, at taking the time to answer individual questions, even general threads on the topic with well thought-out, well-written and...

    RNsRWe replied to Tammy197378's topic in Government, Military

    I don't mean this to sound like I'm picking at you, but you've been at your new position for only ONE month.....and you're seeking to transfer? After you said HR went through some contortions to get...
