    Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

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

    I would have to believe this problem exists for every person whose job covers a 24/7 type of employment. Safe to assume that police and firefighters have this problem, as do the people who work...

    RN Certifications?

    RNsRWe replied to stigrl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No. It isn't related to the college degree, but the license to practice

    CE Credits

    RNsRWe replied to dekyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I never buy the 'unlimited CEU' package from any site, just pick and choose what I want from wherever I want. Have used Nurse.com, RN.com, and Western Schools. WS I think had better ones than some...

    I live in an area with A LOT of snow, and as a nurse, do I need an SUV?

    RNsRWe replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    An all-wheel drive Volvo, put into lower gears prn, will get you through anything the NE has to throw at you. Never used snow tires, just my regular tires, changed regularly to keep them good.

    What is the politically correct term for "nurse"?

    RNsRWe replied to DanielCA's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Personally, I find the phrase "male nurse" kinda irritating; it makes me want to say "female nurse" just to see the confused looks it would bring on. The odd thing about this thread, really, is that...

    Quick Results on weekends

    RNsRWe replied to ETorch89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First, calm down. Freaking out does nothing for you, and helps no one else, either. Because your results were on hold (likely because of the palm scan), "Quick Results" for you are taking longer than...

    Should I quit?

    RNsRWe replied to Lena M's topic in General Students

    Along with the ability to give medications comes the responsibility to do it correctly. That said, it's pretty common for students to feel overwhelmed at the beginning of their studies, and the...

    full or part time?

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

    Full-time coursework (that is, 12 credits per semester) is A LOT on top of what you've got going on. Particularly since pre-requs typically involve some lab classes as well. You might find some of...

    What are my options?

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

    I'm wondering how you could get a loan for that kind of money with no job....? And, typically, non-student loans would have you begin paying it back immediately in monthly installments...plus...

    Quick Results on weekends

    RNsRWe replied to ETorch89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Quick Results are not affected by what State you are in. It is not a function of your State's BoN, it is a nationalized computer program. Where you took the exam is

    Confusion in terms CAN be funny!

    RNsRWe posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, we've all had patients who said they had THIS when they meant they had THAT and it can be both confusing and frustrating (mostly for US when we try to decipher it all)! But how about this one:...

    Quick Results on weekends

    RNsRWe replied to ETorch89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Quick Results are available in most States; if yours participates, results are available 48 hours after completion of your test. NOT 48 business hours. Not "except for....". 48 hours. HOWEVER, if...

    Quitting the profession

    RNsRWe replied to Dewman's topic in General Nursing

    People often repeat the phrase "nursing isn't for everyone", applying it to numerous situations. What we seemed to fail to understand, as students, is that we don't know WHO it isn't for....until...

    NCLEX on Friday, results on...?

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

    Was about to write that it's not business hours, it's consecutive hours (48, period) but it looks like everyone is passing! Congrats, all!

    I have one more try in FL

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

    Each State BoN has its own requirements; you'd need to contact the State you wish to receive a license from in order to be sure you're getting the correct answers. Thing is, if you wish to work in the...

    Nurse Mentor Needed

    RNsRWe replied to Natural123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, and welcome to AN! I do have suggestions for you that do not include keeping this request on a message board such as this one. Meaning, this is a public website that allows absolutely anyone to...

    RN TO BSN

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

    I think you'd do well to do some reading around this website.....it seems you are unclear about what the various entries to nursing involve, and how that correlates to licensing. In a nutshell, if you...

    Why aren't nursing prerequisites standardized?

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

    Considering that different accreditation agencies also have differing standards, and different criteria for descriptions of courses, it's no surprise that there is no standardization across the board....

    Go for ADN?

    RNsRWe replied to seekingadvice023's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your choices don't have to be so black and white, really. If you are trying to get into a BSN program but cannot because of waitlisting being too long, you have nothing to lose by taking coursework...

    RNsRWe replied to cml_413's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was just scanning through past comments I'd posted, hoping to find something I had written for someone else in your shoes (and not have to re-type, LOL). But I couldn't find it, so here it goes...
