    Took 265 nclex questions and got cc page for PVT. Did I definitely fail??

    RNsRWe replied to ccrn014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't delete, and don't disappear :) I don't know the previous member, but I'm used to reading between the lines and what you might be seeing as non-friendly is just a quick answer to your question...

    Philosophy or English?

    RNsRWe replied to thatnursingguy03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    nursingguy, the question you should be asking is NOT "which is easier" but rather "which would be more helpful to me in my nursing program?". Get used to that idea, as "easier" choices rarely result...

    Is there a line floating?

    RNsRWe replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    This is one of the reasons I'm glad I'm no longer floor nursing. That said, I never had the experience of such an abundance of ICU nurses that they were regularly floated anywhere. On occasion, and...

    New nurse, feeling discouraged. Please help!

    RNsRWe replied to ♡♡RN♡&#9's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You've gotten some really terrific feedback here, so I won't repeat it. I would like to share with you something I've posted on here before, though, and it rings true every time. A former clinical...

    New Job

    RNsRWe replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    ....and with this post, I'm reminded it WAS the OP who had such a series of complaints, while still a student...? OP, has your mindset changed now that you are a nurse? Has your initial set of...

    First Time CPR Certification

    RNsRWe replied to NiftyGirl2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tips? yep: if you get a booklet in advance, go through it and just familiarize yourself with the concepts. PAY ATTENION in class; if you're chatting away you're missing something. If the person next...

    Job Interview

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

    If the tour, shadowing offer was done after your actual interview, then YES it sounds very promising! There's no point whatsoever in giving someone a tour whom they don't like in an interview, NOR...

    A&P classes

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

    Anatomy and physiology ARE often combined; they are referred to as A&P I and A&P II. Two parts to the course, but both the A and P run concurrently. Not one semester, but two. Bottom line...

    Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    RNsRWe replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    I responded 'I don't use FB' on the poll, because under my real name I don't. However, I set up an alias account to keep in touch with a couple of hard-to-contact relatives, and they use FB alot....

    Is there a best practice for educating pro vaccination?

    RNsRWe replied to pmabraham's topic in General Nursing

    I remember well when Jenny McCarthy announced several years ago that her son was "recovering" from autism due to her routine of vitamins, chelation therapy (removing of metals from the...

    Do the CNAs or RNs do personal care

    RNsRWe replied to RNtobe23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    [quote=Here.I.Stand;8044133 This guy asked... "Do we have to do...peri care?" As he hovered his hand over his nether regions and made a washing motion. Wish I could have been the one to interview...

    Maintaining a romantic relationship in Nursing School

    RNsRWe replied to Dezi919's topic in General Nursing

    Can't tell you whether or not to date him, but I can tell you this: nursing school is going to take up A LOT, and I do mean A LOT of your waking hours. Students who LIVE with a spouse or significant...

    So worried about this pre-entrance LPN/LVN test

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

    I would imagine that a pre-admission exam is going to look different from school to school. How can we say what yours will look like? If you mention the school, those who are familiar with that...

    RNsRWe replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't. But at this point, I have to wonder if some of our more educated members are going to get sick of being "called out" when they offered help....because they didn't offer it the way someone...

    Is there a best practice for educating pro vaccination?

    RNsRWe replied to pmabraham's topic in General Nursing

    I think of this topic as my everyday life! I am very regularly, in the course of my job, educating patients on everything from diabetes management to wound care to infection control to nutrition and...

    redirecting to old threads

    RNsRWe replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Nursing

    You're absolutely right: my guess is that there will be FAR fewer responses to often-asked questions, and FAR fewer resources offered than there used to be. Hopefully all the newer members will know...

    NCLEX

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

    Sorry to hear this. A quick note: location of the exam doesn't matter; it's a national test, national test bank. If a greater number of students are failing in one location than some others, it...

    RNsRWe replied to Pinupnurse76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is considered the 'good popup'. But worth mentioning, as I hate to see misinformation spread: SATA questions give ZERO indication of how you're doing. You might receive questions at or above...

    RNsRWe replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Nursing

    I guess my take on all this, after reading through the thread, is that when I feel like typing out a full response to an often-posed query, I will....but to be honest, that's going to be mighty rare....

    Medical Assistants being called nurses

    RNsRWe replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unfortunately, sometimes it IS addressed, yet the practice doesn't care, or doesn't see it as a problem. My PCP is part of a multi-specialty practice where there are no nurses, but several MAs. They...

    what's your take on this?

    RNsRWe replied to stumps's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder why you don't ask, when you hear someone say this, "Why do you say that?". Seems to me a reasonable response to "don't tell anyone where you work, or that you're a nurse". I'd be asking "Why...

    Charge RN with charge RN pay

    RNsRWe replied to RNfixmeplease's topic in General Nursing

    To answer the question about pay: if you're doing the charge role on any given shift, you should receive the differential pay that goes with it. Never seen that refused anywhere. As for "refusing"...
