    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

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

    I wasn't speaking to you directly, actually, just to the expectation that this will happen now that people are still looking for a 'trick'. The thing is, it's not that you simply didn't have to have...

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

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

    It means your results are on hold; there is no determination of pass or fail at this time. On the positive side of things, something like 85% of first-time test takers pass.....you either did very...

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

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

    And yet, we absolutely will see more of this. Because people think that it won't happen to them, the usual doesn't apply, they are unique and no one has ever experienced what they are going through....

    Facts about NCLEX results

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

    I did a pretty detailed "stop freaking out and READ this" thread awhile back; it would sink to page two, get bumped back up, sink again....and honestly it didn't matter if it was the FIRST thing on...

    Should high absenteeism be cause to be fired?

    RNsRWe replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Firing him for calling in when his wife was hospitalized is pretty crappy timing. But to play devil's advocate, perhaps this was just the last straw? I'm not condoning the 'kicking him while he's...

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

    Programs that don't care about their students.

    RNsRWe replied to Onik's topic in General Students

    Onik: "Over the past decade we have seen a rise in the need for healthcare professionals, particularly nursing." Just wanted to address this quickly: over the past decade there is NO particular need...

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    RNsRWe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And so what if she is? Everyone's opinions are either formed by what happened to them personally, what happened to someone they knew/know, or something they were told at one time. Opinions aren't...

    ACLS requirement

    RNsRWe replied to jen9587's topic in General Nursing

    Do you NEED it? Probably not, unless the job you apply for spells out that requirement. SHOULD you have it? If you want to be a competitive applicant, and other equally-qualified applicants have this...

    Are Nursing Programs harder to get into?

    RNsRWe replied to Akamnonu8's topic in General Students

    Harder than what? Than it was to get into a decade ago? Less demand, greater supply means that programs can afford to cherry-pick from an abundant applicant list. There's no shortage of nurses, no...

    How many candidates are interviewed per position?

    RNsRWe replied to mnRNgal08's topic in Government, Military

    The number of people interviewed depends on the number of qualififed candidates applying. There might be two or fifty....and that's a random number. Salary, like pfchang said, is very variable. A...

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    RNsRWe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You just reminded me of a book I attempted to read a few years ago. It was a 'medical thriller' so I thought I'd like it. Just a matter of pages into the thing, first chapter, and there's the charge...

    My first question was a SATA

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

    Romi, you seem to be misunderstanding how the test works. SATA questions are merely an alternative format used; having one or 90 means nothing in terms of how you are doing. Also, it doesn't actually...

    Too late to take NCLEX? 4 years! Help!

    RNsRWe replied to Dream2BeNP's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's hard to give you a very positive response, since the odds really are quite stacked against you. That said, there ARE people, some even on this forum, who say that they've passed the NCLEX even...

    RNsRWe replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm really torn on this one. I'm from the generation that says "you took the job, they put time and money into your training/education/orientation, you owe it to your employer to give a reasonable...
