    Needing some encouragement?

    RNsRWe replied to 5ummer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, you're looking for encouragement, so all I can tell you is "good luck, work harder"....? Get your grades up so you can be a competitive candidate. You already know that at the moment you...

    Silly pop-up

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

    I swear that when I read the title of this thread, my VERY next thought was "Trix are for Kids!!"!! (anyone else old enough to remember those commercials from the 60's/70's?) To the OP: I absolutely...

    is there anyone failed nclex-pn with 85 questions only?

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

    Of course you might be doing well if you get SATA, but you could JUST as easily be doing poorly....why perpetuate the myth that getting these types of questions makes it MORE likely you'd pass? You...

    Holiday Scheduling - how to make it fair

    RNsRWe replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    For those who had the same problem you describe (and it IS a problem!) they switched with people. I honestly don't remember anyone having this as an issue (not being able to travel for family things,...

    Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

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

    My take on this is to be a bit insulted. Posters, placards, email messages.....all telling you to "go above and beyond" intimates that all you do every day is the minimum. And instead of saying...

    RNsRWe replied to yedwards42's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not in CA and don't have a definitive answer for you, but maybe I can still help. I remember this topic arising on the forum in the past; in a nutshell someone who holds a permit has been granted...

    is there anyone failed nclex-pn with 85 questions only?

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

    If you're a first-time test taker, it's much more likely you passed than failed, statistically, REGARDLESS of the number of questions you got. That said, however, people do fail, and do so with the...

    is there anyone failed nclex-pn with 85 questions only?

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

    I know I told you this same thing on another thread, but you are still telling people that if they got SATA questions it was a good sign. This is wrong. SATA is a format, but is NOT indicative of...

    New Way to Guess Test Outcome!

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

    But I think NightCrow nailed my very bafflement, too: someone joins a site, ostensibly to ask about NCLEX stuff. Ok, that's fine, she is BRANDY new as a member. But when that new member goes to the...

    RNsRWe replied to JLM2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You asked for input, so.....here goes: The number of questions you got (230) has no bearing on whether you passed or failed. It means you were at or near the passing standard for much of that time,...

    New Way to Guess Test Outcome!

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

    for just a little while there, I naively thought I had finally heard the last of "is this the good popup?!?" and "does this mean I passed?!?" with the obituary of the PVT announced. Sadly, it's opened...

    Smoking

    RNsRWe replied to whatwells's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My first thought is this sounds like a homework assignment? Is it? If it IS, you can give us your thoughts, and we can help you decide how to best work it out for your paper. If it's really just...

    Holiday Scheduling - how to make it fair

    RNsRWe replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    Wanting isn't getting. If someone is scheduled to work NYD, they SHOULD have the Eve off, no exceptions. If, however, they have the Eve off....they should expect to be coming in on 1-1-15

    What Keeps Nurses Up at Night?

    RNsRWe replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    hmmm....I imagine they'd love it if you decided to stay in bed and have THEM still be there at 11am because you didn't want to come

    Holiday Scheduling - how to make it fair

    RNsRWe replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    So you mean the "eves" and "day after" AREN'T really holidays, you're just trying to fairly schedule, yes? In that case....see my previous post, LOL, and add in "if you work the day, you don't work...

    White Coat Ceremony for Nurses

    RNsRWe replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    My class had a pinning ceremony. That's all anyone needs, IMHO. White coats? Anyone and everyone wears those. A friend completing a PA program had a WC ceremony. A friend's kid did a healthcare...

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

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

    I remember it feeling painful; I cleaned my house like a person possessed to pass the time. Hasn't sparkled that way since Now, I think, I'd resort to heavy drinking and Benadryl.Either/ or. Or...

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

    Well thought out, well articulated.....and still will be largely ignored in favor of 'BUT DID I PASS????" questions posted over and over (and over....and over) again. Still, thank you for your post....

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

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

    Just a bit of a clarification is required here, I think: The BSN is not an advanced license, and therefore 'testing up' is clearly not part of the equation. An RN doesn't "pay a university" for a...
