    NCLEX-2014!

    RNsRWe replied to Sherry29's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! You post good advice, with just one little note: people need to wait a full 24 hours, NOT "several", as the second set of scores are not finalized before then. You found this out...

    Professors fail everyone?

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Really? No, nor do we wish to be admonished for posting on a forum that is intended for exactly that. Since time others spend here is of concern to you.....shouldn't you be studying

    Professors fail everyone?

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Your point would be.....what? That this student should not be posting on a message board, and neither should people respond to him/her? And if so.....why are YOU

    Happens here a lot. Right up there with "do you think I passed?" when asking about their NCLEX attempt, and describing their study plan. How do we

    Professors fail everyone?

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    If you were a practicing nurse, or even a successful nursing student (and you are neither as evidenced by this quoted post), you would probably understand WHY those of us who ARE practicing nurses or...

    Ran out of time on NCLEX RN

    RNsRWe replied to Nurseinthemaking90's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A week is too early to expect to see your license posted on the CA BoN website; they are notoriously slow. It can (and frequently does) take several weeks to get your results via mail even....

    Professors fail everyone?

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    And THIS is where the trouble comes in, big time! How many of us want a colleague for whom unreasonable exceptions are made, and regularly? I'll share this little nugget because it fits so well, I...

    Professors fail everyone?

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Believe me, I understand. I don't think a 'points' system is what should be utilized for these kinds of exceptions, but they ARE valid exceptions when used judiciously, appropriately, and on a...

    I'm starting to see the repercussions of this method of childrearing showing itself more and more. When I require people to return for followups who then don't, don't call, don't show and I finally...

    Professors fail everyone?

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Ok, and I most certainly understand giving some slack to a student who has had a major life event: birth, death, marriage, divorce....these are one-time occurances that are expected to have a...

    Professors fail everyone?

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    In a nutshell, YES, but I wonder why is that up for discussion? Since 'trying really hard' isn't the measure by which students pass or fail, successfully passing assignments and tests is, why SHOULD...

    BSN

    RNsRWe replied to jeancouyo's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Jean.....since it seems pretty clear to me that this is a homework assignment, the best way for you to get input/help is to first post YOUR response to the question, what YOU think, what YOUR...

    Best place for a new grad BSN

    RNsRWe replied to jamersss's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe taking a look through the various State Forums here on AN will help? I will just throw out there to avoid New York State, lol....pay is higher in metro areas, but so is cost of living (and job...

    Is it true that the pearson trick doesnt work anymore?

    RNsRWe replied to xtina213's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes.....BUT what I was also trying to get across was that the 'good pop up' only means you passed on the FIRST scoring, and you can still fail the SECOND scoring, unless you have waited the full 24...

    Is it true that the pearson trick doesnt work anymore?

    RNsRWe replied to xtina213's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your exam is scored TWICE in the 24 hours after you complete the exam. Any guesses you have prior to the final scoring doesn't mean anything, unfortunately, because it ISN'T final yet. You took it...

    I keep getting told by older nurses to do the VA

    RNsRWe replied to puravidaLV's topic in Government, Military

    I'm an RN who was quoted a salary when HR called to inform me of the Board decision (on pay, I was already selected). I'm paid hourly, like the rest of nursing, but they do phrase it as a salary. Even...

    What sort of nurse do you want to be?

    RNsRWe replied to Miss-kate's topic in General Nursing

    Medical consultants definitely get hired, but of course since they pay for MD's, not RN's, I imagine that's why we get TV shows that show physicians doing EVERYTHING for the patient, with nary a nurse...

    I keep getting told by older nurses to do the VA

    RNsRWe replied to puravidaLV's topic in Government, Military

    And as long as your boss doesn't decide to trim expenses by cutting your overtime, or cutting your job out completely, then that's fine. But unless you have a great union backing you....you're always...

    I keep getting told by older nurses to do the VA

    RNsRWe replied to puravidaLV's topic in Government, Military

    I counted 18 medical plans alone (not including dental and vision ones) and they ranged from very inexpensive to very expensive. Have you looked at what medical insurance can (and does!) cost in the...

    RNsRWe replied to mmuntanga's topic in Government, Military

    Hi, k2. The VA hiring process can take months, that's not at all unusual. Some locations can process things pretty quickly (submission of application to orientation 6 weeks) and sometimes it can...

    challenging the boards

    RNsRWe replied to AmandaOBriggs's topic in Government, Military

    I would think the fastest and most accurate way to get information would be to contact the NH BoN and ask them. Website can easily be found online; if FAQ page doesn't help, just call them. Good...
