    Why are Nurses paid so low in the south ??

    RNsRWe replied to Michigann's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose that NEXT you're gonna be telling me that you no longer leave a knife under the patient's bed to cut the pain?! WHERE are they going to take this 'progress' to

    College: Do I Have a Chance with My Grades?

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

    The others have good advice for you, so I'll leave that alone. I'm only going to comment that if this prize-winningly-long run-on sentence filled with very poor grammar, spelling and punctuation is...

    Failed NCLEX for the 2nd time

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

    I only wish I could write this off as a troll, but over the years I have been a member I have seen all kinds of people post for all kinds of reasons. Some, definitely are Troll Beasts and clearly...

    who has taken a pay cut, willingly

    RNsRWe replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely took a pay cut when I went from hourly hospital RN to nurse manager in a private practice. I lost out on premium pay, holiday pay, night diffs, etc.....but I traded that for M-F hours,...

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Not going to debate this because I could trot out a platoon of IBCLC colleagues with a hundred years (or more) of experience who would disagree with your disagreement. And then you'd want to do the...

    RNsRWe replied to Michigann's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, now this is funny I've always wondered, do you go to work in scrubs, or will clean overalls

    PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    Since you completed your exam more than 24 hours ago....and it's not official, of course.....the PVT can give a pretty decent reassurance to those who find they are unable to register (pay for)...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    Yeah, but I tend to take everything posted with a grain of salt. I don't think that people intentionally misrepresent (and to be clear, I'm NOT saying that's what happened here!) I'm just saying that...

    Failed NCLEX for the 2nd time

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

    While I am not a fan of text-speak, I did read your (somewhat strange--to-read) post(s) telling people how easy the NCLEX exams are, how they have to "try real hard to fail", how they need to use...

    RN vs. PN exam

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

    Ok, I see the educational component problem now. Not unlike those who choose schools in the US that are not nationally accredited, or online programs that are not accepted by all States' Boards of...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    Probably a matter of defining "tentative offer" (believe it or not). See, it's extremely common to get a phone call that you "have been selected for the position, pending physical, background, etc...

    RN vs. PN exam

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

    I'm also wondering why someone would take the PN exam, already holding an RN license...? Since legally he'd be held to the standards and scope of practice of an RN, the PN license would have little...

    #1: yes, that's normal....you were given this information, as is everyone else. #2: No, it will not. The salary quote (keep in mind you will be an hourly employee, but they always quote it as...

    Sorry, I really don't know. And yes, I *think* I can tell you're anxious! :) Honestly, it seems like forever right now, but it's just a couple of days! When you think about it...it's NOTHING...

    I need a nursing school

    RNsRWe replied to ayan135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You haven't completed all the pre-requisite courses yet; "just 3 science classes" is A LOT to do still. Your GPA is pretty bad now; what do you believe is the likelihood of acing every one of the...

    RNsRWe replied to boss_babe0507's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ah, I see what I was missing. Individual Boards of Nursing do their websites any which way they feel like; some update daily, others every few days, or weekly, or even every few weeks, monthly. I...

    RNsRWe replied to boss_babe0507's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ok......so is your question about the website info itself? Because I don't know what "status box" you'd be referring to if you tried the PVT...? Some States will post a pending status on their...

    Drunk and high students at clinical

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Yes, this does look like 'sour grapes'. Your instructors aren't passing the drunk 'kids' and failing the sober ones; they are passing the students who are successful in their classes and failing the...
