    Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

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

    While the PVT is pretty darned accurate, it's also pretty clear you didn't do it correctly. Like....at all. Here's why: Your exam is scored twice. Once immediately upon finishing (which is why you...

    Just took Nclex (PearVueTrick)

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

    You asked a question you already knew the answer to? You KNEW you did it too early (which means you knew it was a bogus result)....but you're asking if it's REALLY a bogus result? Huh? I think I'm...

    I need help I've failed 3 times now

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

    I'm sorry, I don't understand your response.....you would have received a Candidate Performance Report (CPR) and it states where you were below passing, near passing, above passing, and you would have...

    LPN vs RN - serious question about differences

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

    Kinda makes you wonder if Nursing would be so high up on the "Most Trusted Professions" lists if the general public knew there was SUCH a disparity between programs: their requirements, their...

    RNsRWe replied to MNG88's topic in Excelsior College

    You're lucky in this is a pretty active board....and you're welcome :) Working in the NYC area, you're going to want to get a BSN....highly competitive for employment, and MANY BSN new grads to choose...

    LPN vs RN - serious question about differences

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

    I wonder what your program covers that others clearly don't.....must be quite a lot, since it's twice as long! In my area, LPN programs are 10 months' duration, no pre-requs, no college courses. And...

    Help a brother out!

    RNsRWe replied to MNG88's topic in Excelsior College

    WHEW, that's a lot of questions! :) Welcome to AN; I'll answer the ones I can: Excelsior is not accepted by every State BoN in the US; some States will not issue a license for you to practice if you...

    hospital based program

    RNsRWe replied to toi121's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    OP: why are you seeking out a diploma program, specifically? You are willing to relocate for one....are you also willing to relocate to somewhere you may not even want to live, because that's where...

    Nurses still tops of most trusted professions

    RNsRWe replied to BostonFNP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Honestly, a bit surprised, considering all the negativity in the news of late. Good to see, though

    Latest changes to NCLEX

    RNsRWe replied to INN_777's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Regarding SATA questions: the number any candidate receives is random. Some will see many, some will see few, and some will not remember correctly either way. Their presence is indicative of...

    The CPR you received upon notice of failure should give you an indication of where you need to focus. What did your last one

    Just to nclex and nervous

    RNsRWe replied to Kambri09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The PVT works as much as it ever did, just differently since late August of this year. People who say 'it didn't work for me' didn't do it correctly. And those who did it incorrectly are usually...

    PLEASE stop stressing the nclex... just stop

    RNsRWe replied to bella14k's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well.....congrats! NCLEX is hard for those who struggle with the format of the test, mostly. And for those who have had less than a stellar preparation through their schools. It's a rare bird who...

    Fear of vomiting and vomit?

    RNsRWe replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    Some things, after enough exposure, seem to lose all "ick" factor. Others, regardless of the number of times you deal with it....don't. Once you are in the clinical setting and become familiar with...

    PLEASE stop stressing the nclex... just stop

    RNsRWe replied to bella14k's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    LOTS of really good information here! Very helpful to many, no doubt. Only have one little thing to add/comment on: SATA is really NOT a "higher level of question", it is ONLY an alternative format....

    OMG JUST GOT THE GOOD POP UP. But is it reliable?

    RNsRWe replied to mrsnurse2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How nice to read this! :) You're more than welcome. I've been lambasted for this very same thing, LOL, so it's a pleasure to see some do appreciate the info. Congrats on passing, and welcome to the...

    Why do we not get paid for lunch even if we never get to take one?

    RNsRWe replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong. Plenty of lobbying. Plenty of complaints; as I said, not everything disclosed here but the POINT was that it was impossible to have everyone take all their breaks. And after lobbying efforts...

    Working the Holidays

    RNsRWe replied to Omaapecm's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like you feel guilty that they were working, and you were home, otherwise you wouldn't likely have mentioned your young son. Thing is, your employer isn't paying you the holiday pay everyone...

    VA Nurse Salary

    RNsRWe replied to kclindsay's topic in Government, Military

    It's good that you found a job in a CBOC as a VA employee; many of them are now contractors. Nice to have the VA benefits, etc, while working in an outside clinic

    Extremely anxious!

    RNsRWe replied to Amberlc94's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hang in there, both of you! It's a very, very rare person who walks out of that testing center feeling confident. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that most of those who passed in 75 questions (or 85,...

    RN first or BSN first?

    RNsRWe replied to Louise Henaut's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think you might be missing an important piece of knowledge: it's not that you can get the RN in two years, it's that the core nursing program for an ADN is two years, which usually comes after a...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    What I meant by "how is employee health involved" is 'how is it they are talking to you about what to put down on salary info stuff?' Bloodwork, physicals, etc etc....yes. But coaching on how to...

    Why do we not get paid for lunch even if we never get to take one?

    RNsRWe replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    I re-read the posts, and I can see how this reads, but it's not what you're picturing. As I said before, there was enough short-staffing and enough of a workload that it simply wasn't manageable to...
