    Pay for parking?

    RNsRWe replied to Paws2people's topic in General Nursing

    Never worked anyplace that had fee parking, but I've never worked in a metro city. But how about THIS::::: Anyone on board with the idea that hospitals should be able to charge PITA visitors and ED...

    RNsRWe replied to NurseQT's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you love the facility and co-workers (same? different?) AND there's no reduction in benefit plans, etc (in other words, they haven't changed for the worse) than go ahead. If any of that is on the...

    less paper work, more care. Is that true?

    RNsRWe replied to tarotale's topic in Government, Military

    And when it comes to VA, it's about as engulfed in paperwork as it

    265 q's = pass??

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

    Either you misunderstood your instructor, or your instructor is utterly clueless as to how this test works. Which is odd for someone who is supposed to be preparing students for

    does the pearson vue trick still work

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

    To both Roxy and CCalkins: In late August, the PVT changed. Or you could say the 'trick' as you knew it was eliminated; PearsonVue updated their software at that time. People attempting 'the trick'...

    Books for RN-Exam

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

    Hello, and welcome to AN! There is already a LOT of communication of a LOT of feelings on this topic; if you read the other threads posted on the same page you posted this one, you'll see that :)...

    Guys, this is difficult.

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

    A SATA question is merely an alternative-format question. They can be above passing standard or below it. Not sure why this myth keeps circulating that SATA questions= high level questions...?? At...

    Heplock to home hospice?

    RNsRWe replied to BmoreRN82's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Interesting how different this is than when I worked the floor (and discharged to home hospice) a few years back. At that time, the answer was an absolute, unequivocal NO. The thinking was that if...

    Graduating HS with all of my nursing prerequisites done

    RNsRWe replied to highschoolrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My son thought that would be the caes for him, as well. He's graduating with 28 college credits, BUT the college he will be going to can afford to be selective enough as to allow transfer of exactly...

    Things You See On Craigslist

    RNsRWe replied to MissMoo25's topic in General Students

    Eh. If this is a legitimate request for someone to take the TEAS for him or her, it doesn't matter too much. If the nursing program is at least using a TEAS for admission, it's going to be able to...

    RNsRWe replied to cherrymom's topic in Nursing Career

    For a new grad, not really going to do much for you. Headhunters troll Linked In constantly; once you have the kind of experience that is in demand you could/should expect to be contacted by one of...

    Is nursing the best career to choose ?

    RNsRWe replied to TamiamaRebel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some people go into nursing because they felt drawn to it, "called" if you will, and always knew they always wanted to be a nurse. And then discovered they hated it. Some people go into nursing...

    Labor & Delivery

    RNsRWe replied to sgarcia14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm guessing you are a foreign-born student in the US (because there IS no 'national nursing board'). Please don't misunderstand, I mean no offense, but is it *possible* that something in your...

    Labor & Delivery

    RNsRWe replied to sgarcia14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is getting ridiculous. As a student, you should be able to expect a decent (if not extensive) course of clinical rotation concerning maternity, labor and delivery. If the college's plan of...

    Graduating HS with all of my nursing prerequisites done

    RNsRWe replied to highschoolrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, as Esme said, there IS something to consider. A BIG something. I have never heard of a nursing program that would allow a minor into a clinical setting; 18 is the minimum age for responsible...

    Application process/Job opportunity for VA

    RNsRWe replied to AJ1980's topic in General Nursing

    No biggie....just didn't want him/her to think that taking a VA job meant having to float around for a year before getting into the job they were hired for! I can only imagine... Guess for a new grad...

    Application process/Job opportunity for VA

    Above is good information, but wanted to address this part. It is NOT the norm to rotate anyone (new or otherwise) through various departments before settling them somewhere. Perhaps you are...

    RNsRWe replied to ALHRN11's topic in General Nursing

    LPN before RN-BSN?

    RNsRWe replied to Rose.Tran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Barring the recruiter's pretty talk....why would you NOT go straight for the BSN at this point, since you have almost completed the pre-requ requirements? If you really want to work as a nurse while...

    Press Release - allnurses Survey Says Nurses are Bullish on the Industry Outlook
