    NCLEX-PN SHUT OFF @ 85 Questions

    RNsRWe replied to atl252006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, LOTS of people have their test end at 85 questions. You might want to post this on the NCLEX Discussion Forum instead of General Nursing, for better

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You're pretty off base here, no need to get rude. I wasn't "dissecting" your post, I was responding to it. It's easiest to use the 'Quote' feature so people can know what is being responded to in...

    Sharing faith at work

    RNsRWe replied to Nienna Celebrindal's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    No, I realize you didn't...it was a general statement intended toward the general 'you' found on message boards. Unfortunately, it does happen quite a bit. As for your original response to my query...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Now ain't THAT the truth! While I consider myself observant (and I think most others would, too) I do not adhere to every single custom or doctrine found within the boundaries of Judaism. I'd never...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    This is actually from the Torah (Judaism), the admonition to not wear plant fibers and animal fibers mixed; this would take out cotton/wool blends. Why? I don't have a good reason for that, although...

    Seventh Day Adventist and working on Sabbath???

    RNsRWe replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I follow Judaism's structure of Shabbat, that being sundown Friday evening until just past sundown Saturday evening. Our 'day of rest' has never changed from the time the Torah was handed down. It...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    See, now, I can completely understand holding oneself in a higher regard to avoid being made into a doormat. Self-respect is necessary in order to GIVE respect, IMOHO. However, that's not the same...

    Sharing faith at work

    RNsRWe replied to Nienna Celebrindal's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Red:Well, I honestly don't mind atheists who participate, as long as they are respectful. I don't "jam my faith" down anyone's throat (except alternate Mondays, in which case I jam away... ). Now,...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I have actually spent quite a lot of time on Spirituality boards and in-person interfaith workshops over the years; sometimes it's to share what I know for those who are curious, and sometimes it's to...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    As an aside, I am reminded of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. A tongue-in-cheek "internet religion", yet according to the definition posted is most certainly a religion! Who are we to...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    So.....the basis of this religion is not how you relate to others (which is a foundation in most religions....think "golden rule" and similar philosophies). Instead, it's about how you relate....to...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Welll.....ok then. I put some of that definition in bold.....and it seems to me it can all be summed up by saying "This religion is All About Me"? It's what *I* want, it's only *me* that matters, in...

    Do you honestly believe this is a potential problem with the OP? Have you ever had to cover someone else's workload because that person was off praying

    The most annoying student

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Nah. The NCLEX is just a minimum competency standard, not an Idiot Meter If he can get through an interview without being a moron long enough to get hired....I'd bet he doesn't keep that job for...

    Essex County College Nursing Program

    RNsRWe replied to tienydalgobbo's topic in School, College Programs

    I think you'll get more responses if you post this in one of the Student forums: Pre-Nursing, or General Student. Good

    Pearson Vue Nclex Results Trick, Holiday Weekend

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

    If you received no message that your results were on hold, then they were finalized 24 hours after completion of your exam. The only reason it would take longer than 24 hours is if there was a Hold...

    skipping graduation/pinning?

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    My first degree, didn't have any interest in Pomp and Circumstance, so didn't go. No regrets. Second degree was for nursing, STILL no interest in P&C, so skipped the cap and gown graduation but...

    Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?

    RNsRWe replied to trustabdy's topic in General Nursing

    This thread also reminds me of a relative who will on occasion "go on an austerity budget". When *I* went on an austerity budget, I cancelled Netflix and reduced cable to the bottom rung, stopped...

    Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?

    RNsRWe replied to trustabdy's topic in General Nursing

    ^ I hear that! ^ I feel the same way, actually. It's just the idea of "luxury" (especially as the OP described it) is not realistic for most nurses. My own DH suffers quite a bit from the "I Don't...

    list of states to apply for nclex for foreign graduates

    RNsRWe replied to abcdefghijk's topic in Nurse Registration

    Every State has its own Board of Nursing, and every BoN has its own list of requirements. You would need to take a look at the websites for the States you are interested in moving to (and therefore...

    RNsRWe replied to missERRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Since the areas of nursing you are interested in want experienced nurses....seems to me you need to gain some experience! Apply to a med-surg unit (can you transfer in your current facility?)..you...

    NCLEX the amount of questions doesnt matter.

    RNsRWe replied to smc22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats :) Although it gets posted nearly daily that the number of questions doesn't matter (other than stopping at the minimum of 75 for RN or 85 for PN), people do still ask about this pretty...
