    What they said. FWIW, I find most nurses are more than happy to help with these kinds of requests; an offer for a cup of coffee after work is usually enough to get us motivated

    Sure, it's very easy to explain: it took 87 questions for the computer to deem you either competent or incompetent. Shutting off at 85 typically means the person was doing so well they proved this...

    People say a lot of things that are wrong, and that includes this forum. So much incorrect info, it's mind-boggling sometimes! If at the time your test ended you were above passing standard, you...

    Quick note on the kinds of questions you get. If the computer "thinks" you are weak in an area, below passing, it will keep throwing questions in that category of study until you either demonstrate...

    Y'know, I'll throw out there that I was one of those people who "obviously" aced the test, but I SWEAR to you I cried in my car on the way home. Totally shell-shocked walking across the parking lot....

    Not shocking at all. I personally believe that the most reasonable people are the ones who can see both sides of an issue (ok, not ALL issues, but for the most part, are open to hearing both sides)....

    An air of professionalism is what you need to wear EVERY day. Hair neat and up, not "girly". Makeup clean and careful; you don't want to look like a cabaret singer, but you don't want to go so...

    RNsRWe replied to TexasGal1964's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Seems to me an employer can set a rule in force that disallows an otherwise legal activity....and they do so ALL the time. Example? How about smoking? It's a perfectly legal activity, but a hospital...

    Does your State participate in Quick Results? If so, you can pay eight bucks but get an OFFICIAL 'pass' or 'fail' after 48 hours. That's one way to find out. Some people have played the PVT game...
