    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Unbelievable. You are asked to give up gas, your time, your attention, focus interest on the student (written evaluations, too)...for NO compensation....but the school ASKING you to do this WAS being...

    You are in California, but have applied to the State of Texas for a license, correct? Then it's the TX BoN you are dealing with. California takes weeks....but that's another story. Can you think of...

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

    You couldn't stop yourself.....so now you are probably more worried than you'd be if you had simply left it alone The reason you are told to wait 24 hours prior to playing the Magic PVT Game is...

    I heard they get stiff and covered in fuzz, but that's just what I hear. Haven't actually FOUND any...! AC/HD, you do realize your topic title reads like a suicide

    Online NURSE PRACTITIONER programs

    RNsRWe replied to RNIZZY14's topic in General Nursing

    It's pretty common to be required to do clinicals in the same STATE as your school program; can't possibly imagine ANY program that would allow you to do clinicals in another country. Think about it:...

    NCLEX - It must be all a myth.

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

    Well there ya go ? If more than half (way more than half) get only 75 questions, and somewhere between 80-85% (PN stats) pass the first time.....it's clear the majority of them--big majority--are...

    NCLEX - It must be all a myth.

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

    Purely speculation, but it seems to me that since greater than 85% of first-time candidates pass.....it would make sense that the great majority of those who finish the exam in 75 (or 85 PN) questions...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Arguably true, at least on the surface. A nurse is responsible for a considerable amount of teaching---in the course of his or her JOB. The issue here is the expectation that a nurse is obligated to...

    Pearson Vue Trick as of August 2015

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

    Actually, you DID pass a judgment, based on a tiny bit of information: you declared someone "scary" to become a nurse after failing the exam ONCE, and requiring a re-test. The fact that he didn't go...

    Pearson Vue Trick as of August 2015

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

    As a patient, you want a licensed nurse. If he gets licensed after two attempts at the NCLEX, what difference would it make to you (the patient) how many or how few hours he studied? Answer: it won't....

    Pearson Vue Trick as of August 2015

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

    I wonder if you missed the posts about why constantly doing the PVT is a bad idea? That one of those times you are authorizing a charge, you might just find yourself out $200? That it has nothing to...

    Observe in neuro, surgical or cardiac ICU?

    RNsRWe replied to KNV2729's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It'll depend on what's going on that day, what the census is for the unit for that day....is it ONE day? Or a rotation of a few days? Can't guess if it's going to be busy or dead, so hard to say....

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Perhaps I can help clear up your bewilderment. The RNs who are working that floor are there for the PATIENTS. They most certainly DO CARE about "what they do". What they DO NOT DO is guarantee in...

    No, you aren't getting a breakdown on what is an above or below passing standard QUESTION. You will receive a list of the domains of testing (areas of content/knowledge) and you are required to be...

    RNsRWe replied to FTRRNKT's topic in General Students

    Follow closely but don't stick to her. Be there to watch, near enough to see what's going on, but out of the way enough to not get tripped over. Ask questions when there is time for the nurse to...

    RNsRWe replied to Nurseinthemaking90's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If an incident report was triggered (which WILL occur with a faulty palm scan), then your results are placed on Hold status until a QA review can be completed on your exam. It's beyond the usual...

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

    Interesting.....I guess I'd have to throw in my own anecdotal experience (that's all any of us really have, right?). Getting a charge reversed that I did not owe took a LOONG time, and required...

    Before formulating a study plan, you need to wait until you receive your CPR in the mail (Candidate Performance Report). It will spell out each of the domains of testing, and show you in which ones...
