    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    There's evidence that it starts BEFORE infancy, during gestation. It's been awhile since I read on that particular aspect, but it was pretty well-published several years back. While neurological...

    Failed NCLEX-RN Aug 2015

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

    Not too much comes to mind concerning patient mortality that DOESN'T involve airway, breathing and circulation. Tip: the test is evaluating your understanding of prioritization NOT as "who will die...

    Failed NCLEX-RN Aug 2015

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

    Please put this in a new thread of your own.....it has nothing to do with the OP's topic, so it's considered "hijacking" to start a whole new conversation like you're doing. I'm sure there will be...

    Failed NCLEX-RN Aug 2015

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

    She said she didn't study for the test in her home country; she DID study for the NCLEX. Eh, grain of salt time. No reflection on the OP, but can you think of anyone who has failed who has said...

    I paid 200 dollars for pvt

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

    I definitely see what Shye was saying, no doubt. If someone pays for something that is then not received, the argument is easily made that the person paying doesn't actually OWE anything. Makes...

    Can you apply as a PCA with a BSN degree, but hasn't taken NCLEX yet?

    RNsRWe replied to sdgdude's topic in General Nursing

    You graduated with a BSN and are not 100% certain that your degree is higher than those of an MA or PCA (who have NO degree)? How is this? At any rate, I can't imagine anyone actually HIRING you; the...

    I paid 200 dollars for pvt

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

    Hey, guys...? I wonder if I might throw something out there, maybe it would change a position. When someone submits a $200 charge, they are NOT paying for a test.....and therefore if they pass they...

    The one thing you wish you learned prior to Nursing School?

    RNsRWe replied to OcMurse93's topic in General Students

    I'd have to answer as a working nurse, rather than a student, but I'd say that one thing that I'd suggest to those just starting out is to lose the word "murse" from your vocabulary. Most nurses...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    You are very right. NO doubt. And it should be pretty obvious to anyone reading that I'm pissed-off over this stupidity. So why am I responding? Good question. Maybe it's because while I know the...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    AMEN. I suspect I have used the word 'ignorant' more times in this thread than I have in the last year of my normal life, and with good reason. While it's clear that the two people you mentioned...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's going far enough, actually. When people's ignorance of how vaccinations work and why that's a good thing (and yes, I do mean ignorance, as true understanding of what we're talking...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    You did not understand my point. I was referring to your statement that "parents know their child's behaviors better than anyone" and you were most decidedly linking those behavioral changes with...

    NCLEX - It must be all a myth.

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

    No problem. Philippines....yah, kinda what I suspected. LOW passing rate for NCLEX. Someone else here was posting about being a US citizen who chose a cheaper nursing education (in the Philippines)...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    They are proven. You just aren't paying attention. No one responding works for a pharmaceutical company any more than YOU do. Not a dime earned via vaccinations, sorry to break it to you. I once met...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    What everyone is trying to explain to you is that they don't "happen" as a result of having received a vaccination.....obviously you are meaning the MMR, as that's the one that's trotted out anytime...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    And being a parent does not automatically imbue one with the knowledge necessary to discern the REASONS for any "changes". Typically it is quite the opposite: a parent may recognize a change in their...

    I believe you are either lying outright, or so very naive you will believe absolutely anything anyone tells you. Must be one or the other for you to make the outrageous statements you have just made....

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, you have so much misinformation and outright fallacy here it's hard to know where to start. But simply put, you should have NO concerns about anything you have listed as a concern. I...

    NCLEX - It must be all a myth.

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

    Would be helpful to know where you studied, and where you were licensed. Before jumping into any kind of new review course or incurring more expenses, you should wait for the CPR that will give you...

    Pearson Vue Trick 2015 2/28

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

    The charge did not come off the pending status because you passed. You'd get charged just the same pass or fail if the information was sufficient to allow the charge to go through. The charge didn't...

    NCLEX - It must be all a myth.

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

    LOL, none of that mattered THEN, either! That's the whole point of discussing these myths: number of questions (beyond the minimum, that is), format type, "kind" of question, etc, has no bearing...

    NCLEX - It must be all a myth.

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

    No, really can't look at it that way at all: it's pretty common to find people who say they thought the test was pretty simple overall, there's no way they could be passing without having "really...

    NCLEX - It must be all a myth.

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

    Ah...."they said". "THEY" are, at least in these examples, completely FOS. As has been discussed on this forum, SATA is merely an alternative format type, it is NOT a level of questioning. IOW, any...
