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

    RNsRWe replied to Blue Roses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yet another phenomenal reason to NOT use Facebook or Pinterest, or Twitter, or....fill-in-the-blank social media. If you do 'invite' people to read about you....they will. Or, in the case of...

    trick still works ?

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

    Your card was declined because there were not sufficient funds to make the payment you were authorizing. There's no way to know if you passed or failed at this time, based on that info. However,...

    *Unofficially* passed the NCLEX-RN!!

    RNsRWe replied to Melissa1986's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your exam will seem to 'focus' on your weakest areas. If you're not demonstrating competency above the passing standard in any area, you will keep getting questions IN that category until you either...

    Miss Manners for Nurses

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

    I suppose, then, addressing you as "hey, REDneck!" would be a bit over the top? :) I recently had someone say to me (about someone else) "he's from NY, what can you expect?" Ummm....clearly more...

    Miss Manners for Nurses

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

    Ok, with tongue in cheek I really have to ask: your grandmothers were around in the early-to-mid 1800's? You, then, are much older than I thought!! As for the idea that "well-educated and rich"...

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

    RNsRWe replied to Blue Roses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    An expose on anyone's life without their express consent (using half-truths, scandal-mongering phrasing, etc), without serving any purpose other than financial gain for the publishing entity, is plain...

    Can a Patient Threaten a Nurse?

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

    Can't echo the sentiments of "document the heXX out of it" enough! One whiff of "I'm gonna get you fired if you don't...." is enough for me to whip my pen out and write it all down, IN THE CHART, in...

    If you mean you found out via Quick Results, those ARE official results from PV on the status of your exam.....it does not indicate you will get a license, so that part is 'unofficial', but the exam...

    RNsRWe replied to NicuRN628's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No one, and I mean ABSOLUTELY no one, can offer you the "chances" that you passed. If you're a first-time test-taker, I can tell you that approximately 85% pass (regardless of the number of...

    PVT works even weekend and holiday?

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

    When you said you "typed your CC status" does this mean you entered your credit card number, authorizing a charge? If yes, you DID offer to pay the $200. And the message you received MIGHT indicate...

    What can you do with a nursing degree besides nursing?

    RNsRWe replied to Elidrc's topic in General Nursing

    Tough spot to be in. Without an actual license to practice nursing, you cannot work in nursing, period. I would think you might be a potential for healthcare administration, something like that?...

    Except the PP did not say this was a "middle manager" at all. She said "administrative role". Can guess, but may or may not be correct, as to what that is/was. I have been a charge nurse, and nurse...

    well, I'm not familiar with your State's website, so can't really answer as to what you're seeing. FWIW, you probably know there's more to getting a license than passing the exam.....might there be a...

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

    Brings to mind a time when charge nurses, unit coordinators and nurse managers were all given the "ok to take off weekends and holidays" green light. Then staffing crimps meant that charge nurses were...
