    You mean this is NOT a joke...?!? I started reading your post with a smile, thinking it funny.....then realized you MIGHT be SERIOUS??? I happen to like diet soda as a preference, and tend to be...

    Recency Requirement for Titers

    RNsRWe replied to chendricks92's topic in General Students

    Yes. Titers are results of a blood draw that indicates if you have specific immunities (based on the antibody level against a certain disease). And yours are recent; they don't expire but sometimes...

    Passed the NCLEX-RN, 2nd Attempt!

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

    You're welcome :) And if, as your name implies, you are working med-surg, I hope you like it as much as I did! It was hard, no doubt, but SO MUCH learning, just couldn't be beat. Good

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

    If you live in a State that participates in Quick Results, it doesn't matter if it's a weekend or holiday: 48 hours from the completion of your exam, results are available through that method. Only...

    NCLEX-RN help!!!!

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

    Why not 100% of Q-Bank? Why waste 10% of the opportunity you have to prepare? Also you should keep in mind that while Kaplan offers the guarantee that you can re-take their course for free should...

    Well, while I can't tell you if you passed or not, at least take heart that the odds are still in your favor. You're also still in the game until you find out you're not, so....don't waste time on...

    NCLEX-PN Pearson Vue Trick

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

    Yep :) Maybe this will help: approximately 91% of first-time NCLEX-testers pass. IF this is your first time taking the exam....odds are significantly on your side. And this: stopping at the minimum...

    Apply for same company who fired me

    RNsRWe replied to berhaelee's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sorry, but this is SO a dead end. Do not file an application; you are not going to be hired there

    RNsRWe replied to joe_mulligan88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "...an article I read that nurses eat their young..." and "just saying its prevalant" (while searching for a first job) Oh, yes, I see a VERY bright future in nursing straight

    NCLEX PN result on hold

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

    Results can be on hold for a variety of reasons, some of which you might be aware, others maybe not. If you finish faster than the average: results on hold. Too slow? Results on hold. Palm scan...

    African Amercan male Nurse. UAB School of Nursing

    RNsRWe replied to Work4495's topic in General Students

    Ah, gotcha. I didn't think it was anything negative, to be sure, just that sometimes when people make references that unnecessarily draw attention, it doesn't help. For instance, sometimes a male...

    Nurses Eat Their Young

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

    Yet we don't hear about DETY (doctors eat their young), do we? I think, maybe, that it's understood that in medicine, the newbie has to earn stripes, and expects a certain amount of "why don't you...

    African Amercan male Nurse. UAB School of Nursing

    RNsRWe replied to Work4495's topic in General Students

    Congrats! My first 'tip' is not what you expect, though....it's to change your User Name! The Terms of Service for this site (and the LAW in most States in the US) is that no one may use the word...

    Nurses Eat Their Young

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

    I would never bash you for your opinion that this doesn't happen in other professions, but I'd say that my experience working in other professions tells me that this ABSOLUTELY DOES happen in other...

    NCLEX PN Result in New York - NYSED asking for Infection Control Training

    RNsRWe replied to Nars7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Every person's exam is going to differ from another's. One person may be weak in ECG, medications, and therefore have many questions in those areas. But another person may answer just a couple of...

    How did you decide your specialty?

    RNsRWe replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Students

    Thankfully, nursing is not like medicine in that students are not expected to choose a specialty; having a preference is nice, sometimes helpful (sometimes not), but overall.....unnecessary. Once you...

    Could I still become an LVN?

    RNsRWe replied to gs111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not your weight alone that will prevent you from being successful in a nursing program. It CAN, however, be a problem if your weight prevents you from being able to perform the physical aspects...

    NCLEX-PN Pearson Vue Trick

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

    In late August, Pearson Vue updated its registration software, changing what was/is known as the "Pearson Vue Trick". It wasn't reliable then, it's less reliable now, but if you have $200 you don't...

    Need help! Failed Nclex RN three times in florida

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

    It might be helpful for you to know that the test in NY is the EXACT same test that is offered anywhere in the US. You are NOT taking a State-specific licensing exam, it is a national exam. One...

    Nclex should be harder

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

    What is "hard" to one person is "easy" to another, obviously. The thing with the NCLEX is that it is a minimum-competency entry-to-practice exam ONLY. It is not an exam to determine...

    NCLEX PN Result in New York - NYSED asking for Infection Control Training

    RNsRWe replied to Nars7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No problem. Have you spoken with the BoN recently, asked if they just needed the proof submitted? You can fax that to them, I'd think. You aren't going to see your license number posted because you...

    Cultural Diversity and Tattoos

    RNsRWe replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Students

    I find it curious that in these threads (there are always Tattoo or Not Tattoo threads) there is always the statement made that "I'd rather have an awesome nurse with tattoos/piercings than a lousy...

    Night Shift Advice

    RNsRWe replied to mickeyrose912's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you have a solid orientation period on dayshift, so you can see how things work "normally". When you get onto nights (former night owl, here!) you will have far fewer resources (meaning far...
