    Definition of NETY?

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

    Some of us have used another (less-often-used) coinage: NETO. Then again, some of us are too old and tough to chew

    Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    RNsRWe replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Missy, that video was excellent, thank you for sharing it. It clearly demonstrates how woefully UNDER prepared most hospitals will be should they be faced with this situation. A buddy system in...

    Toward a Level 4 Protocol for Ebola

    RNsRWe replied to Nathan Frazier's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nathan....as you are not a nurse.....out of curiosity, what is your interest? Given your familiarity with Level 4 safety equipment, do you work in sales of PPE by any chance? Do you sell to large...

    Questions about after passing the exam

    RNsRWe replied to happy time's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats again :) 1- Depends on how backed up NYS BoN is; typically within a couple of weeks you will get a certificate of license (big, framing size). This is a one-time thing; in the future you...

    Hello, and welcome to AN! I'm going to do you a kindness and tell you why no one should be answering your questions here. Your assignment was to interview a nurse manager....and it's a good one! BUT...

    PVT Changed?

    RNsRWe replied to jkmitchell92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, JK: your suspicion is correct, the 'trick' did indeed change in August. August 23rd, I think, to be more precise! Prior to the updating of PV's software (registration program), if one reached a...

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

    You said a prayer for me....was that before or after your nasty, harrassing PM? Talk about strange! Y'know, Rudy Bonds, the nursing world is much smaller than people think it is....if you're lucky a...

    trick still works ?

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

    I read it once, twice, and I'm quite sure I understand you. And you're still engaging me? Thought we were done.... As for the rest, it seems you're pretty easily upset, and I'm sorry for you feeling...

    Sure looks that way :) It's now a few days since you posted this.....have you checked your State's website (BoN)? If you look there under licenses, you might find your name and license number before...

    Help

    RNsRWe replied to future_lpn26's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A little more information might help us help you better. The last time you failed, what did the CPR you received after the test say were your weak areas? Did you get axed out of the test quickly (low...

    trick still works ?

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

    since you asked......I bolded the sentence you stated that was incorrect. I corrected your absolutely wrong statement that a declined card "had nothing to do with insufficient funds". That was for...

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

    You would be incorrect in that statement. Regardless, if you like the trick, so be it. If not.....whatever. Good

    GN License Disappears After NCLEX

    RNsRWe replied to jkmitchell92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've also seen the misunderstanding of the GN permit first-hand. The new grad was incensed that the BON "took my GN license just because I failed the NCLEX." She did not understand that she was issued...

    Bad pop up :( is PVT 100%

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

    And if you try this trick before the second scoring of the exam is complete (and it scored your FIRST go-through as a "fail") it will most happily take your money. The trouble comes when it scores it...

    Bad pop up :( is PVT 100%

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

    It's called a "trick" instead of "official results" because it is not reliable, it is a TRICK. It is a feature of the software registration program PV uses, and nothing more. Credit cards are...

    Media a bit too invasive of nurse's personal info following her catching Ebola?

    RNsRWe replied to Blue Roses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good point on erroneous beliefs in general. BUT, to reiterate, if there is reason to believe the nurse did NOT act incompetently, if there WAS no "breach of protocol", it IS valid to investigate...

    Media a bit too invasive of nurse's personal info following her catching Ebola?

    RNsRWe replied to Blue Roses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's another thread (two, actually, I think) that discusses whether we as healthcare workers would be willing to take on an Ebola patient, whether we'd go over there or take care of them over here....
