    "More" than Just a Nurse?

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

    Ah yes, the ol' "too smart to be just a nurse" party line. Why don't you go to medical school, you're smart enough! Yes....I am....but no I don't want to do that at this stage of my life. I want to...

    Sharing faith at work

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

    Well, anyone can always pray with a patient, share spiritual beliefs, etc, AS LONG AS it's on the patient's terms and their wishes are respected. The only difference I can see in your setting is that...

    Alternative Jobs

    RNsRWe replied to texxkatt's topic in Nursing Career

    Well....none, really. You can work as a PCT (non-certified CNA) or get a CNA certificate. Or an MA (medical assistant) in a private practice setting. But otherwise, you'd need both experience and a...

    So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    RNsRWe replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    It seems that her complaint is not that her words were not interpretted as she intended them, but rather that by taking them out of context they would HAVE to be misinterpretted. Reading them in...

    NCLEX-RN: Anyone think it wasn't such a huge deal?

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

    Like the PP said, it's pretty difficult to say if a test is easy or hard, as it is extremely subjective. A question someone looks at and says "totally simple" another person reads as "too hard". I...

    Disciplinary action - medication error

    RNsRWe replied to spenbobb1's topic in Patient Medications

    OP, please come back and let us know the resolution of this mess. I, too, take the stance that you reported off, the nurse relieving you took the responsibility from THAT MOMENT on, and what she did...

    What career is best for me?

    RNsRWe replied to Deer2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, if you are considering medical school, residency/fellowship, and THEN getting started on your own, you will be older when having kids, and you won't be taking a couple of years off to stay at...

    NCLEX-PN Pearson Vue Trick

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

    And if you do any of this prior to a full 24 hours after completion of your test, it means absolutely nothing (and you might just lose $200 for nothing). Please read all the information posted here...

    Hygiene After Hospital Shift

    RNsRWe replied to nifty_n's topic in General Nursing

    After giving it some thought, I realized that when I first started out in nursing (in school) I really was a germaphobe. Even changed my shoes in the parking lot, slipping out of my 'nursing' shoes...

    Near passing Means?

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

    I'm not sure what the confusion is....'Near Passing' means you were close, but not close enough. Not far below standard, but not close enough to actually pass. It means, most likely, that your...

    Florida Exam

    RNsRWe replied to Jake Grafton's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think any of us want to get in the middle of a disagreement between you and your family member, so I'll keep my thoughts on this pretty simple: Preparing for the NCLEX is usually EXTREMELY...

    RNsRWe replied to lvn325's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes. Surely you don't think there has been NO ONE taking this test that has ever had 125 questions....? People have failed at every single possible number of questions, and passed with every single...

    RNsRWe replied to lvn325's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well....there isn't anything TO "do" at this point. You put your credit card info in, and authorized payment. You will not get a refund if you passed, you AGREED to that charge. And if you read...

    Has anyone tried the pvt using a different card number?

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

    If you just took the test there is NO point whatsoever in playing the PVT now. Your exam is scored TWICE within a 24 hour period; any pop ups you see (good or bad) mean NOTHING until both sets of...

    Licensed Nurse or Vet Nurse (tech)

    RNsRWe replied to Greyson's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Much like some CNAs, MAs and "office nurses" who are also not nurses, people who have no actual nursing education (and therefore no license to practice nursing) are always pretty fast to tell you how...

    So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    RNsRWe replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    What reason did you give in this letter that gives you the hope that you would be readmitted after having failed two courses? I would think it would have to be an exceptional "life event" of some...

    So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    RNsRWe replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    A key point to realize is that those who are allowed to take the NCLEX-PN prior to completion of their (current) RN program are very good students who have a strong understanding of the LPN/LVN scope...
