    Took NCLEX a week ago...no results!

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

    It does seem to be pretty random, depending on who is processing it, whether it's early in the week or late, whether it's holiday time and there are people taking vacations....you get the idea. It's...

    Anyone seeking licensing from a State that does not participate in Quick Results will ALWAYS get the message 'Results Unavailable". They mean "unavailable via

    Can I lose my license???

    RNsRWe replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well, since the OP seems to have left the building, doesn't look like we'll ever know! Hmmm, I have some time to kill, and am feeling a little dry.....time for my post-lunch 0.9%NaCl IV! MMMmmmm

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

    Sorry to hear of your frustration; the CA BoN is notoriously slow! FWIW, the PVT has absolutely nothing to do with your BoN results. The trick 'working' or 'not working' only means that the official...

    new grad RN to inactive RN. goodbye RN career??

    RNsRWe replied to mursemaj121's topic in Retired Nurses

    In a word, given the way you're going, "no". Actually, not a chance in heck. A flight nurse has to have considerable experience, considerable critical care/ED/ICU/trauma experience as an RN. At...

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

    True. However, another equally-common error is playing the trick too early, before BOTH sets of scores are finalized. MOST of the time, the two scores match, so someone who did the PVT an hour after...

    RNsRWe replied to searching4truth's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    As others have said, much of the origins of medicine pre-date Christianity, and by a long shot. The birth and subsequent worship of Jesus does not negate all that occured before his arrival; to do so...

    Practical Nursing - salary raise?

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

    ? All I said was, in response to your comment "come to Ontario, CA, we make more than those south of us" etc, that she already is in Canada, not the US. Nothing more to read into that, so not sure...

    RN to wellness coach at businesses/companie

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

    It is :) And yes, RN required; whatever I do that isn't covered by that education IS covered by the Wellness Coach training/certification offered specifically through my employer. Rare bird that...

    What are some nursing jobs that involve a lot of travel?

    RNsRWe replied to Ted D's topic in Nursing Career

    Nope. Would have to be pretty experienced for that, from what I've been told. No

    What are some nursing jobs that involve a lot of travel?

    RNsRWe replied to Ted D's topic in Nursing Career

    Then I'm not sure how you'd land a job as a consultant (one that would be paid to fly all over the place), without expertise in.....anything? Seems to me there's a reason those people are sent all...

    I graduated nursing school and I dont know where I should take the NCLEX

    RNsRWe replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Students

    Why not settle things in the order they already are? No extra upheavals necessary: Take the exam where you are living, where you went to school. Pass the exam, get your license, then get an...

    RNsRWe replied to btf5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Huh. Ok.....read the links; apparently there really are schools out there that offer a specific program called "pre-nursing". Unfortunately, unlike a "pre-med program", in which the student actually...

    Can an employer ask you what medications you are taking?

    RNsRWe replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    At our facility all candidates for employment complete a medical questionnaire that includes a complete list of medications. Everyone is subject to random drug testing, and anyone who requires...

    RN to wellness coach at businesses/companie

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

    Where I work this is a collateral duty, meaning that no one is hired specifically for this but it can be something you "also" do along with your regular job. On some occasions, in some facilities, it...

    RNsRWe replied to btf5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since there is no such thing as a major in "pre-nursing" (much like there is no such major as "pre-med", it's either biology or chemistry)......what is your degree actually in? And if it's an...

    That, and we know her first name is Stacey. But since she said she's already been caught.....and fired.....don't know it matters much at this

    RNsRWe replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It might also be a good idea to not put out there on a public forum that you were working while being significantly sleep-deprived, so impaired by loss of sleep in fact that you made a judgment call...

    It's a crime to take pictures of your patients

    RNsRWe replied to Alnitak7's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    FWIW, my facility specifically forbids any taking of any photos for any reason by direct-care staff, with or without consent of the subject. The reasoning is that a patient may give permission...

    For the explanatory paragraph, I thank you. That would have eliminated the need for questioning in the first place. For the comment about being upset, rude and insulting.....it was YOUR rude comment...

    Don't listen to the nurse

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

    Eh, I wouldn't give it much attention. There are times when *I* have told people to "not listen to the nurse" because I knew the nurse in question was giving them bad information OR they got the info...
