    Nursing school is killing my relationship!

    RNsRWe replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

    Another consideration is how well your SO will hold up with your new working schedule, after you get that first nursing job. It might well be on nights, and your SO is going to want to go out at a...

    RNsRWe replied to mandi_91's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does your State participate in Quick Results? It's eight bucks and it's an official 'pass' or 'fail'. If not....do anything you can think of to take your mind off all this crud for awhile....

    RNsRWe replied to Collsherm's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, sorry! No, I don't feel guilty, LOL....it was just that you posted right after mine, and I was the only one who discussed needing a postponement, so.....led me to believe your "those who feel"...

    Nursing Student Question

    RNsRWe replied to arp898's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    you ain't kiddin'! I remember a certain Nurses' Night Out photo that made the rounds and was posted on someone's online something-or-other. Drunk and disheveled is NOT the look you want out there...

    Are handguns allowed at work?

    RNsRWe replied to TexasGal1964's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I work on Federal property, and they really don't care about anyone's State-issued gun carry permit. Yep, there's a sign, and the sign in FRONT of the Federal building says it all: No weaponry, no...

    Grand jury duty summons

    RNsRWe replied to Collsherm's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure where this is coming from, as NO ONE on this thread said they felt too important to not be on a jury.....? I said I needed a postponement, certainly you didn't misinterpret that to mean I...

    Grand jury duty summons

    RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    RNsRWe replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I fail to see how someone who stays on his own property is a risk to others, so I'm not sure I understand your question. How could either of these hypothetical situations pose any public health risk...

    Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

    RNsRWe replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The number of questions is relevent only in two instances: stopping at the minimum (75 for RN, 85 for PN) means either you did very well and proved competency quickly, or did very poorly and could not...

    "Nursing Shortage"

    RNsRWe replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    And just wait until that family starts wondering what the heck is wrong with you when you tell them you can't find a job! Because, as we know, hospitals are DESPERATE to hire new

    The bad pop up and a bad feeling.

    RNsRWe replied to Tommo446's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You said you got "bad pop up". What, exactly, did you see? If you were able to submit your credit card information (meaning, it took your payment), it *most likely* means you did not pass on the...

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

    Good news is the overwhelming majority of first-time test-takers do pass, so odds are already in your favor. Stopping wtih the minimum number of questions indicates you either did extremely well, or...

    Ok. Step one: Breathe and calm down :) If you want to play the PVT game, there are lots of threads to read on that, but I don't recommend it for you at this point. Step Two: consider that first-time...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Maybe I read it wrong, but I didn't take the OP's original question to mean she was claiming a disability....? I think she was just saying she liked to occupy her hands; knitting and not "figeting"...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Yes, I see she meant to be silly, all's good. I think I just read enough posts from people who likened the activity of knitting in one's lap to dancing a naked twist in front of the whiteboard that...

    LPN?

    RNsRWe replied to Doglover109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you discussed any of your ideas with an advisor for the nursing program you are interested in? I'd think the specific school would be better able to assist you in your decision-making. Different...

    RNsRWe replied to Doglover109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, in my RN program, there were three LPNs who all started at the same point as the rest of us. One of them told me she could have 'challenged out' or something like that for just the...
