    Oh, but her teacher told her to do this. Unless this assignment is REALLY designed to show how people will get ridiculous arguing over hot topics (and raising the same stereotypes in doing so, time...

    What makes a COB crusty?

    RNsRWe replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well.....I don't have the same nursing years under my belt, but I factor in previous career and I'm pretty DANGED crusy, LOL. So what makes the crusty stuff grow on me? Hearing "I don't have to do...

    What makes a COB crusty?

    RNsRWe replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Think text messages :) Future generations will look back on our little cell phones with the same giggles as the 20-somethings do now when they see pictures of the FIRST cell phones, LOL. I had a...

    Does 12 hr shifter work less than 8 hr shifter?

    RNsRWe replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    Since it's a simple math equation (36 is less than 40, so 3 shifts are less hours than 5)......why are you really asking the

    Ah, thank you for that. I thought it odd that the contradicting statements came from one person in one post.....and that you would be advocating a "screw 'em all, it's MY kid that counts" kind of...

    MY thoughts are that the search bar, at the top right corner of this page, will provide you with all the info you seek. These are extremely common topics for threads, and there's hundreds to choose...

    HELP NCLEX!!!!

    RNsRWe replied to richfield1977's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You might want to post this in the NCLEX Student Forum. This is General Nursing, and not as likely to get much input. The board devoted to the test will care

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

    With all due respect (and I do mean that), it seems the first two quotes above contradict sharply with the last one. You are very clear about when and whether you will remove your child from an area...

    Shut off at 75

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

    Stopping at the minimum number of questions means you either did very well or very poorly. Based on your school and study experiences, which is more likely? Hang in there

    As I am also the parent of a child with a neuro condition, I feel I should comment on this. There have been times (particularly when my son was very young) when his behaviors were disruptive enough...

    Pearson Vue Trick - Website Update (Good pop up still alive)

    RNsRWe replied to BSN1986's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You didn't get the "bad pop up" because the "bad pop up" no longer EXISTS, and it didn't exist at the time you took your exam. EVERYONE is now directed to the credit card page. If you read ANY of...

    RNsRWe replied to bojo328's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ah....no way. I'd take a peek at that facility policy first. I've worked where this is NOT allowed; it doesn't matter WHAT age the visitor is, the rule was only the PATIENT can be in the bed,...

    RNsRWe replied to noemi04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well....kinda late now to make this inquiry, don't you think? You're already registered, so you'll test. And you'll pass or fail, but at this point nothing WE say can matter anyway. Good

    RNsRWe replied to pcgizzmo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The answers to your questions will depend greatly on where in the country you are located, and what the need is in your region. For instance, in some areas of the country an ADN can definitely find...

    Ran out of time twice, what's wrong with me?

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

    I suppose it's going to sound insanely obvious, but you're spending too much time on each question. A full six hours = 360 minutes; the full 265 questions puts you at a little over a minute (72...
