    I paid 200 dollars for pvt

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

    I'd be curious to see if the charge that was reversed truly results in a refund. Credit card companies will temporarily refund a charge that is in dispute, and when the investigation concludes if the...

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

    And the person who just posted about getting charged WITH a wrong expiration date (perfectly legal, btw) is wishing SHE hadn't "done it to her heart's content". Not so content

    I paid 200 dollars for pvt

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

    The down side has already been posted on this forum. Entering the wrong expiration date HAS in fact resulted in a CHARGE. Pearson Vue is not obligated to reject a card that is expired; if the...

    Did you not read anything in this thread? I mean....anything at all about why you experienced a coincidence?

    Took my NCLEX today, stopped at 160ish questions, just need to vent.

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

    Congrats! I was about to write that nearly everyone walks out of the testing center stunned and quite certain they failed. Some are certain to the point that they cry and begin studying again!...

    LPN prerequisites?

    RNsRWe replied to YoungMaleCNA's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    NO one can tell you if your specific program is going to be difficult or easy or anything in between.....for you. YOU know if you're a good student, and your studying habits. Easy to one person is...

    Is 3.7 a good GPA for a nursing student?

    RNsRWe replied to loveflowers's topic in General Students

    Depends on the school. A GPA of 3.7 is a shoe-in for some......and on the low side of the application pile for others. I assume you mean that you are currently a pre-nursing student, with a...

    BA in unrelated field first a bad idea?

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

    OP, hopefully by now you are hearing LOUD and CLEAR the message: education is never a waste, but your current plan of thinking is very wasteful. I can't imagine a high school guidance counselor...

    wondering

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

    There is no general "usual number" of applications. Varies greatly by school. One school may have a 75% acceptance rate, another may have a 10% acceptance rate. Has more to do with the number of...

    NCLEX: Unsure how to feel

    RNsRWe replied to beachm8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For both of you, I can honestly say that nothing you wrote indicates how you did....mostly because unless you stopped at the minimum number of questions (meaning you did REALLY well, or REALLY...

    Lots of SATA

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

    The pervasive myth is that having SATA questions indicates a higher level of questioning. This is a myth, not true. It is merely an alternative format type. Since every topic of every question can...

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

    Could have saved myself some typing if I'd seen your response first, LOL! Just wanted to address this part, though: once someone has already paid for another registration, the danger is NOT in having...

    Ignorance may be bliss.....and sometimes I think it's danged ecstatic. I know you have been told this before, but as you are insistent on putting a myth up as fact, I have to respond....again. And...

    Salary of an RN?

    RNsRWe replied to hardworkingmom9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Quick note on the debunked study by Linda Aikens. Discredited as it failed to consider the majority number of BSNs (in the study) who had been ADNs or diploma RNs previously, and had gained gazillion...

    Boyfriend of a Nursing Student

    RNsRWe replied to AZStudent01's topic in General Students

    I was also remembering a clinical instructor that told our group, "I've seen more memberes than a two-dollar hooker!" ROFL....she killed me. And I use that one still, to this day

    VA: Choosing Medical Insurance

    RNsRWe replied to tabisadelta's topic in Government, Military

    I found that the biggest advantage to having a plan through a Federal group is that there is enough buying power to make the monthly costs manageable. I laugh --no, really, I LAUGH-- when I hear...

    Payment Declined PVT 2015 nclex-rn

    RNsRWe replied to lab0117's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, I have no doubt. I hadn't heard of anyone being actually charged when an incorrect expiration date was used in the past, but that's likely because Pearson Vue (as a business) wants to protect...

    "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    RNsRWe replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Not every person who is hired to be a nurse's assistant IS a CNA. "CNA" is an acronym for Certified Nursing Assistant; not all facilities require an assistant to be certified. Therefore...calling...

    RNsRWe replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I guess I'd have to say that in all the years I had worked with PCTs/CNAs/techs/whatevers....I hadn't ever known any of them to have the amount of free time with which to get BORED, as the OP states....

    CNA license??? Please help

    Does Washington have LICENSES for nursing assistants, or do you mean certification and/or registration? Licenses typically involve the Board of Nursing; Certificates typically are found under the...
