    Pearson Vue Trick 2014

    RNsRWe replied to Mandy,GN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm guessing, then, that you live in a State that does not participate in Quick Results (which is why you would see 'Results Unvavailable'--they never will be via Pearson Vue). It would seem, then,...

    It's a crime to take pictures of your patients

    RNsRWe replied to Alnitak7's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Maybe the OP is just worded weirdly (poorly, even) but I didn't read it to mean that she wished she COULD take these pictures, but wondered why the news media IS allowed. At least, that's what I...

    Pearson Vue Trick 2014

    RNsRWe replied to Mandy,GN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not sure what you're saying here. An exam that is placed "on hold" means only that a verification process is still not complete; results can be on hold anywhere from 24-72 hours usually. Quick...

    Can I lose my license???

    RNsRWe replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Out of curiosity, who was monitoring your patients while you were hanging out with an IV? Or were you dragging it around with you while checking on patients....? Were you sitting at the nurses'...

    VA Nurse Salary

    RNsRWe replied to kclindsay's topic in Government, Military

    ^ What he said^ Your military service, since it was non-nursing, will not affect the wage you'd be offered for any given LPN position. The pay scale I posted was for RNs; while this may be irritating...

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

    While I absolutely agree on principle, I have no doubt that there will be those who will insist that just because it's an old, hashed-out, wrung-out, beaten-to-death topic, that people still have "the...

    2014 Pearson Vue Trick (PVT) Poll

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

    Well, there are a few problems here. My guess is the previous attempts you made at the NCLEX were prior to August of 2014; at that time Pearson Vue changed its registration software and it is no...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thanks for the info. FWIW, I live in an area where there are several Buddhist retreats, centers, etc. And there are a number of my own congregation who call themselves "Bu-Jews", LOL! :) I think it...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Some things named as miracles may very well BE scientific processes, but the fact that they occured at a time and place when they were so needed might just indicate "miraculous" status. A scientific...

    Is a teaching question a passing question on the NCLEX

    RNsRWe replied to GN soon to be RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    All questions fall into the 'above passing' or 'below passing' zone. Can't really say what your question was REALLY asking you, so can't know this. But one thing you DO know is you got just two...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Just for fun, I can change the context of the above quote that compares religious people to the mentally ill, into new statements that atheism is akin to mental illness. And that those who disbelieve...

    Educating patients on ER use

    RNsRWe replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    As long as what defines "Emergency" is up to the individual to determine, the ED will see everything and anything that is so very clearly NOT an emergency. But just try explaining THAT to the person...

    Is it legal to have RN's use full name on badge?

    RNsRWe replied to nitrorocket's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    YOW! Freaks everywhere, I say. And see, this is what I'm talking about: the incidences of stalking or general creepiness had zero to do with name tags, it had to do with deranged people already...

    Is it legal to have RN's use full name on badge?

    RNsRWe replied to nitrorocket's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    But I'm going to ask you honestly, what makes you think the name badge makes a difference? People who are stalked have their stalkers waiting for them across the street, parked in a car nearby,...

    Wound care certification for nurses.

    RNsRWe replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    Your 4 CE course did not certify you as a Wound Care Nurse. No doubt the person GIVING the course was Certified, but you are not at this point. Depending on the agency awarding the distinction, it...

    Pearson Vue Trick - Website Update (Good pop up still alive)

    RNsRWe replied to BSN1986's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well....not exactly. I'm sorry, but ALL those who have gone before you to report that they passed after getting the 'good pop up' are missing one vital piece of information: the NCLEX is scored...
