    After failed three time of NCLEX

    RNsRWe replied to yangq904's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's as high as 91% now for first-time testers? That's great news, actually; last stats I knew were 85%, so that's what I mention when it applies. Glad to see it's much higher now

    Why?

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

    I'm not sure what you mean by nursing students who complain of the hard work, but refuse to do the work....? Nursing students who don't meet expectations are typically dropped from their programs....

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    I've read all the replies since my last one, and it made me think of yet something else: For those classes where eating is allowed, but YOU find it distracting, do you complain to the person eating,...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    LOL, I guess that as a person who crochets, DOESN'T knit, I didn't think of this! Crochet=one hook, so no clicking at all :) As for the pens, gum, etc.....if you figure out how to get people to stop...

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

    Well....it's not like anyone is forced to pay eight bucks, right? You COULD just check your BoN's website, or wait for paper results in the mail, like they must do in California. I think paying...

    Coming back to nursing school after failing twice?

    RNsRWe replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in General Students

    You've gotten some truly great advice here, so I won't say much else. I do hope you figure out what is holding you back so you can move on. Please, for your own sake, lose what is sometimes referred...

    Minor EMT

    RNsRWe replied to Run student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It used to be 100 hours of classroom time in NYS. Two weeks full-time wouldn't do it.....it might even be longer now, not sure. But in any event, it's not a college curriculum by any

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    After reading everyone else's replies, I've given it more thought.....I guess I'm in the minority because it wouldn't bother me if someone else were doing it, nor would I be 'unengaged' just because...

    After failed three time of NCLEX

    RNsRWe replied to yangq904's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In addition to what Bucky just said, you would have to complete the application process for the NY State BoN, and fulfill THAT State's requirements. You aren't applying to take a test, you're asking...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Interesting question. I happen to be a very avid crochet fiend, and I am often crocheting while sitting in religious services. When I began attending my current synagogue (years ago), I "felt out"...

    congrats, mmcclurken! But here's an FYI: EVERYONE now goes to the payment screen, at least since Pearson Vue upgraded their registration software at the end of August. Now, EVERYONE is directed to...

    RNsRWe replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wow, I just went to link of nodisinfo.com (which claims Ebola isn't real?? That it's a hoax?!). I had no idea that there were people out there so firmly rooted in conspiracy theories for...

    nursing jobs most similar to social work

    RNsRWe replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I think you'd need to have a good understanding of what is involved in becoming a nurse in the first place: years of pre-requisite courses, core nursing classes, and varied clinical rotations. Psych...

    NCLEX shut off at 75.... dont know what to think!! fail/pass???

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

    Stopping with the minimum number of questions means either that you did very well (and the computer could determine competency very quickly) or you were doing very poorly (and the computer 'knew' that...

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

    Good point. I guess I was just drawing the parallel between the kinds of jobs that are 24/7, comparing the need to staff all these shifts, with nursing jobs. Certainly there are differences between...

    Near to Pass

    RNsRWe replied to Nurselove2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Actually, no. You must be at or above the passing standard in EVERY category of material covered, or you cannot pass the NCLEX. That's where the CPR can be so useful: letting applicants know what...

    Near to Pass

    RNsRWe replied to Nurselove2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The CPR said you were near the passing standard in all categories....yet it stopped at 76 questions? That's odd....if you really WERE near the passing standard, it would have kept giving you...

    Who would you hire?

    RNsRWe replied to iluvsoccer11's topic in General Students

    Yes! And I wish I had a buck for every post that I read in which there are LPNs "running circles around" the RNs.....as though there's never been an experienced LPN who was crappy, nor a new RN who...
