    RNsRWe replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Not a matter of "taking things to heart", really, just advocating for the position of the knitter. On another day, I might advocate for the position of the attention-challenged. Depends on my mood...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Welll.....it DOES make sense, and you support that with what you wrote. Thing is, you (and I!) can make a case for both sides of the issue (as does Heathermaizy, and I'm sure others). I think it...

    What nursing field do you think is easiest and hardest?

    RNsRWe replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    I wonder if you read any of the other responses on this thread prior to posting? There is no possible way to declare one specialty "easy" and another one "hard". The one you are proficient in, the...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Sorry, but I'd have to say that it's up to YOU to turn your eyes forward and listen to what your instructor is explaining, not ME to try to keep you from daydreaming. You might be someone who stares...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    I've read many responses now that say that they would be too interested in what the person is knitting, wondering what they're making, etc etc and that it would, therefore, be just too distracting....

    Frustrated Pre Nursing student!!!

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

    A friend once told me that the problem with most Americans is "instant gratification takes too long". I do believe most suffer from this very popular belief system! OP, it is going to take you longer...

    ceu's for diff states

    RNsRWe replied to ccrn09's topic in General Nursing

    The education is the same regardless which State looks at it....and they don't get "used up". You wouldn't take three ACLS courses because three different facilities want you to have it done, right? I...

    Therapeutic Oils in hospital

    RNsRWe replied to Maeve1982's topic in General Nursing

    When I used to work in acute care, we had quite a good-sized tool box of therapeutic oils. The program for its use was overseen by a physician who was something of a 'naturalist' and had standing...

    License????

    RNsRWe replied to WickFit1109's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I couldn't swear to it, but I seem to remember someone else asking about Illinois, that it updates S-L-O-W-L-Y. Must be tough having all these people tell you how fast they got to see their licenses...

    Lucky you, being in a State that updates quickly! :) MANY others, however, take days, weeks, and even MONTHS to update their

    RNsRWe replied to WickFit1109's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats :) Passing the exam, and being issued a license, are two different things (although we think of them as being interchangeable, they are not). Some States are really quite on top of it when it...

    RNsRWe replied to carmimi100's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The exam is scored TWICE within a 24 hour period. You CANNOT rely on the indicators of a 'good pop up' if you are checking these results this quickly. It appears that on your first scoring, you are...

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    RNsRWe replied to ms.gin728's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I see your confusion about CAT, and raise you a point The computer testing is done twice; the second time is ALSO computerized. It's never a person that does it. So how is it that a result can be...

    License????

    RNsRWe replied to WickFit1109's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Depends on how often the State BoN updates their information. Some States do it a few times a week, some weekly, some monthly. If you have checked the State website and don't see it, I guess it means...

    pearsonvue trick question

    RNsRWe replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not all States participate in Quick Results. It's not the norm, but sometimes people have posted that they were ok with registering again right away, as they were THAT sure they had failed (and...

    pearsonvue trick question

    RNsRWe replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok. While your results are "on hold" you cannot find out anything one way or the other. There's no point in looking for anything, NONE will be available until that hold is lifted. As was mentioned,...

    pearsonvue trick question

    RNsRWe replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your first message said that after 30 minutes you got 'the good pop up', but now you say you got "results on hold" pop up. Which is it? A message of "results on hold" is, as has already been...

    pearsonvue trick question

    RNsRWe replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The so-called "trick" was never a sanctioned use of PV's registration software. People figured out that they were likely to have passed if they got a certain message when attempting to register for a...
