    Need Advice

    RNsRWe replied to new2nursng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What I'm going to say may sound harsh to those who believe only sugary platitudes should be used here. But I believe in honesty, and after reading your post, I have formed an opinion. Others might...

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

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

    I see some new members here, so it might be worth saying this again. For you, it might not be "again", it might be new, so..... There have been people who have paid $200, actually had their card...

    Would you do this...? Thoughts....

    RNsRWe replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    Better mousetraps seem to grow on every corner. I guess if it works, and people are willing to do it, it will exist. I can just see the Enquirer front page now: pictures of some celebrity being...

    Any Jewish nurses?

    RNsRWe replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm not male, but am curious.....why the distinction between male and female during Sukkot? I have anyone who is willing to come enjoy my sukkah.....and in general, if there's an opportunity to eat...

    "Strive for 5" at Firestone???

    RNsRWe replied to rnsrgr8t's topic in General Nursing

    Please, I can't buy ANYTHING, it seems, without the cashier circling the info at the bottom of the receipt which I'm supposed to reference when doing their online survey. Which I never

    Average Work Week For a Nurse

    RNsRWe replied to GlitterFaerie's topic in General Nursing

    There isn't one answer. Some work 3 12-hour shifts per week. Some work 5 8-hour shifts. Some do per-diem and work whatever hours they want. Some do straight days, straight nights, straight...

    Your exam in TOMORROW......and NOW you're asking for help? I wish you well, I really do....but there's nothing more that you can do at this point. Good

    Opinions please

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

    The only advice that makes any sense here is to wait for your official results. No one can tell you with any certainty how you did on the test; at 265 questions you could go either way, and (again)...

    Curious...how many attempts did it take you to pass NCLEX?

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

    Five times, seven times....NINE ATTEMPTS. I'm sorry guys, but there's no way I can think this is a good thing, or "passing is passing, right?". There's a reason many States have put the kabosh on that...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Just a quick response to the "probably a probationary period and if you get through it then you move up". It really doesn't work that way. RNs have a probationary period of two years. While that...

    How do you get results without being rude?

    RNsRWe replied to lisaogden6's topic in General Nursing

    It seems odd to me that a nurse would complete routine charting while ignoring a need for pain medication. As the PP said, is it possible that this patient is someone who is "on the clock" for meds,...

    Pearson Trick

    RNsRWe replied to gia86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why not just keep patient for a bit, and see if your name appears on BoN website? Do you really have $200 to throw away? If so, I'll give you my address

    Pearson Trick

    RNsRWe replied to gia86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If your credit card number went through, it means you either failed (and have now paid for a new test), OR you passed and threw $200 bucks out the window. Unfortunately, there's really no sure way to...

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

    It's not reliable by any means. *MOSTLY*, if you find your card isn't charged, you have *PROBABLY* passed. If that kind of guesswork is enough to let you sleep at night, then so be it. It's not...

    very basic question on nclex :(

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

    There's really no way to know how you did; SATA questions aren't an indicator of anything (good or bad). Do you live in a State that participates in Quick Results? Have you checked your BON website...

    Job to have more family time

    RNsRWe replied to Belle2013's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't until I left hospital work, period, that I felt like I had separate family time and work time. I mean, REALLY separate, as in no one calling me on my day/night off to cover a shift for...

    Do you take NCLEX twice ?

    RNsRWe replied to GodIs082010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thankfully, no :) ADN, BSN, those are degrees obtained through colleges. Licenses are obtained through State Boards of Nursing, and that only has to be done once (provided you don't lose it or let it...

    multiple attempts ruining job opportunities...?

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

    If applying for certain government positions, one must explain any unemployment period longer than 30 days. So if someone were studying for the NCLEX, that could certainly be explained....but for...

    multiple attempts ruining job opportunities...?

    Why not? What is illegal about offering the job to someone who passed quickly (and therefore might be seen as a better bet for orientation) than someone who took multiple tries to
