    Online Prereqs

    RNsRWe replied to matlee123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You both should be VERY cautious about online science courses with lab components: NOT all colleges will accept credits from these courses, in fact many do not. Online courses offered through the...

    highschool senior curious about neonatal nursing

    RNsRWe replied to girlylove226's topic in General Nursing

    While there is such a thing as agencies that employ nurses who will do private-duty for couples and families with newborns, "well baby care", to GET to that point would mean having to go through an...

    RNsRWe replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm sorry to hear you have such a negative viewpoint on this....and sorry you must have experienced something pretty awful to make you respond this way. I suppose we all have, but it just makes me...

    Aside from the hair-smeller and cheek-pincher (hey, OUTTA line, baby!!) it sounds like it went really great! You can send checks to us at P.O. Box.....LOL! Let us know when you land it

    Health Insurance

    RNsRWe replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    There's a way 'in' even though Open Enrollment has passed: a major event, such as marriage, birth, death, qualifies as a reason to change an employee's insurance option even thought it's NOT during...

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

    RNsRWe replied to nitrorocket's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm curious about something. Would be interesting to know exactly how many nurses who have had their full names displayed on their ID badges have been stalked/harrassed SPECIFICALLY because this info...

    Nurse LPN

    RNsRWe replied to Sweettasha7's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Can't answer that. In what city, in what State? With how much experience? Working in outpatient or inpatient settings? Unless you provide more specific info, can't be more specific than "An amount of...

    RNsRWe replied to alipournashr's topic in General Nursing

    NP; I guess at this point it really doesn't matter! But then, if it happens AGAIN, something's gotta be tweaked or you'll be known as "Been Somewhere, Done Something"!! Or maybe that'll be MY Senior...

    Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

    RNsRWe replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The PVT has no value if played with before 24 hours has passed. Why? Because the NCLEX is subject to TWO scorings; the first one is done (essentially) the moment the test is complete, but the second...

    RNsRWe replied to cholmes1223's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You nailed it: Interview #2 was not interested in you. Try not to take it personally; they didn't even hint at wishing to interview you, so you didn't fail to win them over. They weren't interested...

    how many times in Texas

    RNsRWe replied to plastic100%'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took a look at the BoN's website, and it doesn't specify a maximum number of attempts, but DOES specify that an applicant must either pass the NCLEX within 4 years of graduation from a nursing...

    I know you didn't ask, but I didn't keep that subscription; it wasn't very good as I recall. Maybe it's improved since

    congrats! Even getting an interview in the current hiring climate is an achievement :) Tips? Dress professionally, can't stress this ENOUGH. Slacks or skirt, doesn't matter, but whichever you choose...

    Recent RN New Grad Would Love Your Professional Input On My Resume!

    RNsRWe replied to FinallyRNStatus's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have no idea why your instructor would suggest it should be two pages. Someone with plenty of experience might need two pages, but even that's discouraged. Think of it this way: do you want the...

    Why? Your license can be found easily on your State BoN's website, if they wanted to take the time to look it up.....but I'm guessing they don't :) I subscribed years ago, don't remember it being a...

    The most annoying student

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    It's much more common (expected, actually) to see a nursing school fail someone who should fail rather than passing someone who should fail because the school is afraid of a lawsuit. It's a rare bird...

    Positive PPD and nursing

    RNsRWe replied to mishabc's topic in General Nursing

    The reason, simpy put, is that all the PPD is is a skin test to indicate whether the person having the test has been exposed to TB in the past...and therefore has some antibodies present in their...

    Evolution and Nursing

    RNsRWe replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Interesting thread! I'd have to echo some of the others here who are wondering what the connection would be between nursing and any religious belief (or non-belief) system. Knowing whether my...
