    My Very Special Snowflake

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

    Dontcha love it? The red carpet is truly silly, though, IMHO. We didn't have a higher level of service, the VSSs couldn't get anything the rest of the peasants had, EXCEPT we had "special" single...

    Holiday Scheduling - how to make it fair

    RNsRWe replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, that sounds quite involved to me, and still doesn't ensure fairness! Aftter, one could wind up working three Christmases in a row, just because of the luck of the draw? "Luck" doesn't equal...

    What Keeps Nurses Up at Night?

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

    Nothing. Oh, I have situations that concern me, family who doesn't understand a problem with a patient, doctors who won't listen to RN opinions, etc. But I have learned by this point in my career to...

    Holiday Scheduling - how to make it fair

    RNsRWe replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked the floors, every staffer was assigned either 'A' or 'B' upon hire. 'A' would work Memorial, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. 'B' would work New Year's, Indepence Day, and Christmas. Each...

    Holiday Scheduling - how to make it fair

    RNsRWe replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    Your holidays seem odd! Only winter holidays...no summer? Meaning no Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day? We had 3 winter and 3 summer, making it simpler....do you already have those holidays...

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

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

    How does it feel to be obsolete already? At the time you took your second test, the PVT was still reasonably accurate. As of 8/23, however, an update to their system shows that the PVT has ZERO...

    Pearson Vue: Bullies?

    RNsRWe replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    And I bet they were the worst 7 hours of your life, no doubt! No PVT here when I went through the mill, and NYS didn't feel like updating website more than every millennium or so, so...I had to wait...

    Did I pass NCLEX-RN?

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

    Or he had finally gone insane after all the pressure leading up to the test! Quick Results will definitely tell you if you have passed the test or not. That is what you are paying for. It will not...

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    Did I pass NCLEX-RN?

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

    You have managed to ask a question that NO ONE here can answer correctly with any certainty. But you know that already, don't you? The PVT, as students have known it, is now a bit of technological...

    My Very Special Snowflake

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

    Remembered another one I can share. Had a patient sharing a room with a VSS, a real princess. While there was a group of people working with my patient, the VSS kept yanking back the dividing...

    My Very Special Snowflake

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

    I'd have to say my own VSSs are unique enough to be recognizable if I described them, LOL, so I think I'll have to pass on most of them! But ones from enough years ago, I think I can share. I had a...

    WHOA! Mariposa, with all due respect I think you went WAY off on a limb here....no one was disrespecting anyone. I for one never suggested anyone was "ridiculous" for stating that they felt nursing...

    A calling to help others but give me a good paycheck

    RNsRWe replied to runningcrazy's topic in General Nursing

    You DIDN'T offend me, as I understand your point. I was just noting that disbelieving in the concept of a 'calling' to ANY job that isn't religious in nature doesn't mean one doesn't believe IN...

    A calling to help others but give me a good paycheck

    RNsRWe replied to runningcrazy's topic in General Nursing

    The irony here is that I am NOT a "non-believer"; I consider myself a person of faith as much as you do, it seems. While I could take offense at the idea that disbelieving in the pursuit of nursing as...
