    pre-employment quiz

    RNsRWe replied to njifru's topic in General Nursing

    No. Expect a professional interview: what would you do in this situation, how have you handled X when it happened, tell me about a time when you improved something.....what are your professional...

    Maternity and Nclex?

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

    Drat, I missed the "pn" part of the OP's post! Sorry. Well, everything I said MINUS the 'RN' part

    Commute 1 1/2 to work

    RNsRWe replied to litebrightgirl's topic in General Nursing

    If the job is better, the position is better, it offers more opportunity for advancement (education and/or career)....seems like an easy answer to me. But I don't mind driving, I listen to audiobooks...

    olde nurse uniforms

    RNsRWe replied to sarahsut's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I used to know someone who went at least once, sometimes twice a year on mission work, and she always took a suitcase full of scrubs to use there and LEAVE there. For others to continue to use. I'd...

    RNsRWe replied to pete M's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Pete, I've been following your posts all over the site. And answering some. But it seems you are asking a hundred questions before READING anything that's already here! Upper right hand corner,...

    Maternity and Nclex?

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

    I"m sorry, but no one can answer this for you accurately; every NCLEX exam is different. But maybe this will help: you need to be familiar with the content/knowledge base an entry-level RN is expected...

    PearsonVue Trick is all lies. I didn't get a popup and I PASSED!

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

    Well, it's not "All Lies", but if it makes you feel better.... :) "I attempted to do the infamous PearsonVue Popup Trick. And I got no pop-up. It seemed like I could sign up again." Ok. But COULD you...

    Off going or oncoming responsibility

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

    SUCH a common scenario! I knew a number of nurses, once they received report, would come back in while the off-going nurse was finishing her charting and announce "Mr. X pulled his IV/Foley/NG out,...

    kaplan - worth it?

    RNsRWe replied to SN2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For those who passed, it was. For those who failed, it wasn't. Kaplan focuses on strategy, prioritizing. It assumes you understand the content. If you are strong on content, but need help with...

    A lot of Select All That Apply questions?

    RNsRWe replied to sheila0313's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry you dragged up a years-old thread....LOTS of bad info here! SATA questions do NOT mean ANYTHING other than you got a SATA question. They can be below-passing-standard questions just as...

    Bad pop-up doesn't necessarily mean you failed!!!

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

    Have no idea what you said. Please use more letters, and possibly more words!

    Fed up with this RN

    RNsRWe replied to Nursingdreamsx0's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think we probably all have. There are fools everywhere, including healthcare :) My advice? Take the high road, you can't lose that way. She says she can't remember how to do something? Just joke:...

    Bad pop-up doesn't necessarily mean you failed!!!

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

    I guess the simple lesson to take away from this thing is if you want to roll the dice and play the trick game, be prepared to have it be wrong. It might be. It might not be. Personally, I'd...

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

    Not sure this will help, but the fact that it went on as long as it did, in your case is a good indicator. At least the way I'm looking at it, the first three times you took it you did so poorly that...

    "The calling."

    RNsRWe replied to grrl77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well.....I'd have to respectfully disagree. If someone has a deep-down feeling of wanting to design bridges, does that mean they are have "a calling" to be an engineer? Or do we say that they just...

    Bad pop-up doesn't necessarily mean you failed!!!

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

    There's a lengthy poll on this forum about the accuracy of The Trick, and it appears to be a correct predictor about 90% of the time. Nine times out of ten is pretty good, unless YOU happen to be...

    how do I gain experience if I have no experience?

    RNsRWe replied to pete M's topic in General Nursing

    Can't answer that for you. Research it. And maybe accept that you won't find a job doing what you want if you aren't willing to relocate. Very. You can't change what happened in the past, just how...

    Do you need a doctors order for this?

    RNsRWe replied to Cynnie24's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Obviously! I never suggested otherwise. But if a foley is in place that can only be replaced BY the urologist, it just might change how one approaches the situation. The OP asked a policy question,...

    Do you need a doctors order for this?

    RNsRWe replied to Cynnie24's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The answer is found in your facility's policy manual. You might, or you might not. But you need to look to your own facility to know what you can do there. You've heard both yes and no because it...

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

    I'm so sorry! When you get your CPR, you'll have a breakdown of what went wrong, really. I'm ONLY going by what you're saying, my 'feel' for how you're saying it, and my gut is telling me that you...

    Thoughts on the prevalence of name discrimination in nursing?

    RNsRWe replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And I wonder what they'd do when Kimberly showed up for her interview in full head covering, as a devout Muslim?

    how do I gain experience if I have no experience?

    RNsRWe replied to pete M's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean by wanting to be an Assistant? If you are not a CNA, they won't hire you to assist with patient care, it's that simple. If you ARE a CNA, then I do hope you are applying everywhere...
