    PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    I have absolutely (and I do mean 100%) no idea how this got posted on this thread. I was responding to ANOTHER thread last night.....did something MERGE on here?! Totally weird. And now this post...

    I. Just. Can't....

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

    Can practically guarantee they won't learn a thing. Will simply proclaim to whoever will listen that the staff at Memorial Whatever Hospital "killed" their loved one because of incompetent code...

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

    Sadly this travesty is repeated time and again. Once had a DNR patient (signed, sealed, unsealed or whatever, and placed in chart) who had a couple of family members who would NOT leave the room (even...

    Are We Truly That Gullible?

    RNsRWe replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    I've never come across GomerBlog, but now that I know it's there, I have it bookmarked on my Favorites bar!! There's an 'article' on patients with 10/10 pain that hits home for me, LOL, having spent...

    Facts about NCLEX results

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

    It seems they are failing miserably on that score. I feel for students whose schools did little to inform them of all

    Facts about NCLEX results

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

    Yes, they SHOULD have! That would go a long way towards easing angst of your fellow test-takers. Shutting off at the minimum means you either did very well....or very poorly. Only YOU know which is...

    White Coat Ceremony for Nurses

    RNsRWe replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    I knew a physician who was also irritated, annoyed (terrified?) at the idea that a lowly NURSE might be somehow mistaken for a MD. I pointed out (during his Tirade of the Day) that nurses tended to...

    ok. Now you have created images I did NOT need in my head prior to going to bed. Thanks! Seriously, though....I'd LOVE to see the data on "perineal fallout". REALLY?? What the XU*#Y%Y is falling...

    PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    I posted something snarky originally, realized I was tired, and retracted. OP, please read through any TWO of the roughly 27,102 threads on this topic, and you'll feel better :) The PVT is no longer;...

    What works for one person works for them. SuperHero, are you someone who needs more information on content, and needs to study that more? Are you someone who understands content, but needs more...

    RNsRWe replied to kaurb22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This I find utterly absurd. The notes were HIS notes, and came out of HIS HEAD. It isn't cheating by any STRETCH of the imagination to remind oneself of one's OWN notes AFTER one enters the testing...

    How many new threads do you think will be posted on this forum, one stacked on top of the next, all in a row showing everyone that everyone is saying THE SAME THING, before people stop starting new...

    You should be receiving a CPR (Candidate Performance Report) that will show areas of weakness. THIS is what will help guide you (and us, if we can help) through the next round of studying. Once you...

    I have just one more consideration for you all. Schools of nursing are charged with the responsibility of only passing students who meet all standards of passing: written and verbal standards,...

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

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

    Ok, now it's my time to stick up for Boston :) It is ALWAYS beneficial for nurses to further their education. I do NOT think it wise to sit back and have science, technology, academia pass us by...

    New Way to Guess Test Outcome!

    I'm thinking this way is as valid as the newest 'trick' ... Laugh a little. It's good for you! (and for some online fun, copy/paste this into your browser: http://www.ask8ball.net/

    Ok, so I'm going to say this right out there: the system of testing currently in place at Pearson Vue does not only ensure that those who take the NCLEX do so within the confines of the testing rules,...

    I've just been following the thread without partaking, as I find it interesting but don't feel I have much personally to contribute to it. That said, I DO have to say I have failed to see any of this...
