    What is the proper way to address an RN?

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

    It really IS a throwback to when most of the nurses people saw were nuns, or volunteers through a convent or religious order. Ah, good

    What is the proper way to address an RN?

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

    LOL.....have also been told that I'm "a good Christian woman" :) For THIS particular person, I was comfortable saying "Actually, I'm a good JEWISH woman" and she thought for a minute and said "No, I...

    Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    RNsRWe replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Ok.....what? I'm unfamiliar with those

    Well I guess I can't work there,

    RNsRWe replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Well, I guess this is where we'll just have to agree to disagree :) In your situation, you felt comfortable going with what you went wearing; I'd still put out there that not every program is going to...

    Failing the Nclex-RN, again and again.

    RNsRWe replied to YPnurse71's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RN Refresher courses are options for those who are already licensed RNs but have been out of practice for long enough that they need to 'brush up' on current standards. What the OP needs is an NCLEX...

    What is the proper way to address an RN?

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

    I'm guessing by now the OP knows that "anything goes"! I've been called by my first name if they manage to remember it, "Miss" or "Nurse" if they can't. Where I work now, it's commonplace to be...

    Help me pass my NCLEX

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

    You will find plenty of advice here on what to study, how to focus your plan of prep. But something that tends to get missed in all of this preparation is that you are a human being who needs...

    I can't seem to find employment! Help!!!

    RNsRWe replied to tellousse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When you say you've applied to every facility, does that include nursing homes and outpatient clinics? Chances are much better for that than acute care hospitals. Unfortunately, you are in a VERY...

    New LPN student - GA

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

    Hi, and welcome to AN! :) My first bit of advice would be to take a look at the top of this page, at the yellow banner with various headings on it. You posted this message on a forum dedicated to...

    Nclex pn stopped at 110

    RNsRWe replied to Beachbum23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What difference does it make how many passed or failed with 110 questions? This number is irrelevant. People pass and fail with every number from the minimum to the maximum. I can't give you much to...

    RNsRWe replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Can't say how much I disagree with this statement. I suppose that there are places that really don't care how you look. But I can absolutely say--and with certainty, because I've been IN those...

    Nail polish and wraps

    RNsRWe replied to nf nurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well, pretty much every healthcare facility has a policy addressing this. And the policy typically states "Just Say No"! This is frequently discussed on AN, so if you do a search using key words,...

    Question re: background check/admittance to clinicals

    RNsRWe replied to Robin Hamilton1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The issue is less with the school, and more with the Board of Nursing for your State. It sounds like your school program is proactive, and seeks to exclude those who are unlikely to be issued a...

    PVT clarification

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

    Ok, you caught me at a good time :) In a nutshell, if you are submitting a card without valid funds AND it is declined, it means that PV tried to charge it and it was denied payment. This either...

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

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

    Ok, MsAshley, stop digging up old threads and read what's been posted to you currently! Pearson Vue updated its registration software in late August. Please ignore the old stuff,

    stopped at 85 question for lpn

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

    Your exam is scored twice within a 24 hour after completion of the test. If your first scoring was a 'fail', it would take your money and you think you failed. If the SECOND scoring is ALSO a...

    Please help I am starting to lose hope in becoming a nurse

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

    The two comments or yours that I have put in bold concern me. While it's true that nurses are not in much demand in most places in this country, I have to wonder how it is that you have been working...

    Volunteer for experience?

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

    Well.....maybe I can clarify. But before I do, did you mean a new grad LPN (who was a CNA prior) being hired into a hospital? If that's the case, it might very well be because he/she already worked...

    The most annoying student

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I would guess the OP mentioned it because it's the kind of behavior you'd expect out of an immature 20 year old, and this person should be all grown up by now. Apparently, though....not. OP, you've...

    Appropriate orientation attire

    RNsRWe replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Business casual, period. In no way should anything you're wearing be described as cute or trendy. Nothing tight-fitting. Nothing that reads in ANY way except clean, well-presented, well-groomed, and...

    Good nursing or learned dependence?

    RNsRWe replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    Not only is it common to see patients resist discharge, when I worked the floors I also found that they sought admission (as well as extended stays) during the holiday season(s). When there's no...

    "Please pray for me to pass"...?

    RNsRWe posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    As a frequent 'assistant' (at least, I think I'm helping!) on the NCLEX Discussion Forum, I see something posted over and over and over again. It's a very common theme, actually, and although in the...

    The only thing that will likely help you out of your above suggestion list would be bilingual skills. THAT is usually desirable, especially in some regions of the country where there is a higher...

    RNsRWe replied to Kell Bell's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your exam is scored twice within a 24-hour period after completion of the exam. If you played 'the trick' prior to the end of that time frame, pop ups mean nothing. If it's been at least 24...
