    Dear Nursing Instructor

    RNsRWe replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    After reading through this thread, I'll go off on a tiny side-step to say that I DO think it's absurd that people who are expected to be treated seriously as COLLEGE students use phrases like "should...

    Tattoos in the workplace

    RNsRWe replied to MAH82's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, NOW you're just going too far! Who says I can't be a GREAT nurse while wearing see-through, skin-tight clothing...AND false eyelashes? I think you need to get with the times, LOL...

    Best lotion for dry hands?

    RNsRWe replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Holy MACKEREL! lol, if there's one thing we can learn from this thread, it's that there are a bazillion great moisturizing lotions out there! And what someone considers terrific, another one...

    A possitive tb test

    RNsRWe replied to libra32's topic in General Nursing

    Please read the information that has been posted here for you, and read it carefully. If you have a negative chest xray, that means there are no nodules, no signs of active disease...in other words,...

    A possitive tb test

    RNsRWe replied to libra32's topic in General Nursing

    The most likely reason for the negatives on your most recent PPD is poor technique on planting the antigen. While it's true "any nurse can do one, any nurse can read one", it has most definitely been...

    Tattoos in the workplace

    RNsRWe replied to MAH82's topic in General Nursing

    Although the majority of what you said was on the side of 'they are no big deal, they're even terrific'....the comments of yours I bolded and emphasized is really what's telling, and is the ENTIRE...

    Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

    RNsRWe replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Send a PM to a moderator, or post a request on one of the 'how to use the site' threads. I'm not sure what is the preferred way to do it, but the admins are good about honoring them

    Pearson Vue Trick 2014

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

    According to the NCSBN website, it's scored twice as a quality control measure. No one at the PV testing center is going to know anyone's results, it isn't determined instantly. For most people the...

    How to pass NCLEX-RN!

    RNsRWe replied to NurseKath1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    well, while I too am not looking to argue, this bears saying again: your experience of the PVT never being wrong does not correlate with the experiences of hundreds of people posting on this forum:...

    A possitive tb test

    RNsRWe replied to libra32's topic in General Nursing

    Quantiferon (Quantiferon Gold) is not unlike a titer, in that it will look for a threshold number of antibodies. Speaking simply for the purposes of this thread, if there are enough present to make...

    Tattoos in the workplace

    RNsRWe replied to MAH82's topic in General Nursing

    How did you come up with this? What discrimination issue? If a facility policy is 'no visible tattoos', then the rule is not discriminatory at all. Now, if a facility said 'only butterfly tattoos...

    Pearson Vue Trick 2014

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

    Sorry, but you're mistaken on both of the bolded comments. Your exam is scored TWICE, and while the first scoring is resulted within minutes of completing your exam, the second (and frankly the one...

    Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    RNsRWe replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Since you're Catholic, maybe you can clarify something for me. As I understand it, Catholics believe that those who die before baptism will not reach Heaven....and this includes newborns, or infants...

    A possitive tb test

    RNsRWe replied to libra32's topic in General Nursing

    I was unclear on that, too, but I'd be willing to guess it was a PPD.....I place A TON of them and you'd be surprised how many people think I'm doing "a blood test". I have to explain to the majority...

    Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

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

    No problem. Waiting for results sucks, so I understand the need to try any trick that seems to get answers faster. If your State participates in Quick Results, THAT is the way to get a 100%,...

    A possitive tb test

    RNsRWe replied to libra32's topic in General Nursing

    I could be wrong, but I'm going to guess you were raised in a country other than the US, correct? If so, you may have received a vaccination (BCG) that would create a positive PPD result. Always....

    First of all, I am not rude, but blunt, I'd just like to throw that out there. Secondly, you posted misinformation, pure and simple, and it is NOT helpful when people do this. You posted that you did...
