    Help!!

    RNsRWe replied to Angie1234's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hello, and welcome to AN! I would suggest you take a look at the California forum, as well as the NCLEX Discussion board (the latter is found under the "Student" tab at the top of the page) and see...

    Just finished school and family doesn't need me anymore.

    RNsRWe replied to techtonurse's topic in General Nursing

    llg has a great perspective on this, but I just want to ask one thing, OP: were you actually GONE from the home (similar to a deployment) or did you live at home but weren't available much? If it's...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    If they say that they can give you no information, you CAN ask for clarification that you are still in the hiring process. You CAN ask if you are no longer being considered for the position, OR if...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    Do you already work for VA? If not, I'm not sure how the employee health nurse is part of this mix....? And the "9 essentials of nursing"---are you referring to the Dimensions of Nursing Practice...

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

    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'm afraid this is far harsher than deserved. I gave a snippet of info, not the entire story of the entire floor. There was teamwork. Patients got their meds. Nothing petty, just reality in trying...

    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

    Yep, meds not given during the 30 minutes she was gone; she would have to catch up when she got back and/or give them earlier, before she left. Why? Because everyone ELSE was trying to get everything...

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

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

    ....and, again, you lucked out. Your 30 minute post-guess PVT meant ZERO. I guess people will still keep thinking this, though, until they eventually read about the people who were shocked to find...

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

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

    All this means is that your first scoring and second scoring matched. Otherwise, you'd be here saying "I did it 30 minutes after the test, it said I passed, and I failed!!! It didn't work!!!"...

    RNsRWe replied to nurseangelique's topic in Florida Nursing

    nurseangelique: Ok, fine, but as you found out.......the school's not worth much, which makes them probably NOBODY's best decision The bad reviews have more impact than the good when it comes to...

    RNsRWe replied to nurseangelique's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm so sorry you didn't come to AllNurses first! There has been discussion of this school for several years now. I'm wondering why you would choose a school that has no national accreditation (only...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    Good luck! If it's just a med/dosage calc test and you've been a nurse for 10 years, you should be fine.

    GPA

    RNsRWe replied to MariKitty08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our opinions? They don't mean much, honestly. If your GPA is higher than many others, AND everything else is competitive as well, then you'd get in. If your GPA is the same as others, and everything...

    Why can't hospitals do better?

    RNsRWe replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ah, if ONLY this were true! Yes, no US law requires this, but it's extremely common....expected, actually....that utterly futile, utterly useless and very expensive treatments WILL continue to be...

    Without addressing the vast majority of your post that would probably be best suited on the Spirituality Board..... congratulations on passing your exam

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

    I get that you're nervous, but it's really poor form to ask for advice, ask what something means on more than one thread, and then NOT READ WHAT people responding to you WROTE. Here's a summary: you...

    Did you do as suggested, and READ HOW to do this thing? And if you did, you'd know it was too early to know a blessed

    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

    FWIW, I could NEVER convince everyone on a shift to file the variance. There were just too many people who were scared to attract attention to their "poor time management". Some were just not...

    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

    It's a sticky situation, because while we all know that it's nearly impossible to take an undisturbed lunch break when you're a floor nurse, they are required to offer you one (and you are entitled to...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    Only thing I can possibly think of would be the med/dosage calculations test....? Our facility (most, I think?) don't do this until after you've boarded, during orientation. But perhaps the VA...

    When can I work?

    RNsRWe replied to andiescandies's topic in General Students

    I often wonder where the Classmate Experts get their info. What I mean is, you have classmates "informing" you that you will be able to sit for the NCLEX after completing the nursing program, but NOT...

    Yes! I also find that people will ask the same questions repeatedly because they didn't actually listen to your answer (not the first time they asked, nor the following three or four). I have even...
