    A question for a friend!!

    RNsRWe replied to dannygurl84's topic in General Nursing

    Just thinking about how I have a kid heading to college soon, and we're figuring out ways to pay for it, after scholarships and grants and loans are exhausted. WE'RE exhausted, but we sure as hell...

    RN Specializing

    RNsRWe replied to Lexiock's topic in General Nursing

    I know my viewpoint on this is considered 'old style', but I still think there's a GREAT deal of value to be placed in beginning one's nursing career on an acute care, medical-surgical unit. On this...

    RNsRWe replied to dannygurl84's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious about something, dannygurl84 (are you 30 years old? You don't seem to be...). Anyway, you insist rather vehemently that no one respond negatively to something you want feedback about....

    Ok, gonna have to go digging through the Torah to find the parts specifically encouraging witch-burning, gay-stoning, and non-virgin-female stoning as well. Might TAKE me awhile.... Regardless of...

    There's just no way I'm going to lay this at the foot of of a Bible stand and say "it's YOUR fault". Nope, not the Bible (nor the Torah, nor any other scripture you care to quote or misquote) is what...

    Nursing school is not a back up plan!

    RNsRWe replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Probably much of the OP's original ire came about because of the impression she was getting from the OT-Wannabe, that nursing was something 'easy' to fall back on, easy to get through the coursework...

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

    Ok, THIS makes a lot more sense! I had read your info about calling the BON and asking about remediation, etc as your NOT being an RN already...and since you had "nurse" in your user name,...

    RNsRWe replied to btf4's topic in General Nursing

    If I'm understanding you correctly (and not sure I am, your post is a little tough for me to follow), you expect to graduate with an AA from a community college; what do you mean by nursing pre-reqs?...

    Took my nclex pn stopped at 85

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

    As accurate as it ever is....yes. The NCLEX exam is scored two times, once immediately upon completion (essentially, the moment it's complete) and then a SECOND time sometime during the following 24...

    Oh, and I love a comment in the original link to the CBS story, the one in which someone who supports this idiocy gives as an example "A Jewish butcher would not have to handle non-kosher meat". Ok,...

    Took my nclex pn stopped at 85

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

    Is this for RN or PN? If PN, it's the minimum number you can be given.....which means either you did very well and was able to demonstrate within that time that you were competent to begin practice,...

    A question for a friend!!

    RNsRWe replied to dannygurl84's topic in General Nursing

    OP, if your friend submits knowingly false, knowingly misleading information to her State Board of Nursing when applying for a nursing license, they can either deny it based on that....or pull it...

    Thank you for providing the Snopes link, it's appreciated. I did read it, and while it's technically not being put forth as a means of denying care to those whom the provider deems unworthy of care...

    I think it's yet one more example of homophobia, xenophobia, anti-semitism and racism being permitted under the guise of "religious freedom". How many steps, after all, would it take to go from the...

    RNsRWe replied to skbella's topic in General Nursing

    Oh for heaven's sake, it wasn't that complicated. The OP wondered why her BA in psychology wasn't THE SAME THING as a BSN (obviously, a BS in Nursing). I answered that, simply put, her BA in psych...

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

    If you've been a Director of Nursing for four years (I have to assume that this is allowed for an LPN in a prison? I've honestly never heard of an LPN as a DON) it's hard to imagine why you cannot...
