    MA NCLEX PVT

    RNsRWe replied to RNKB2be's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You're your own worst enemy :) The message you got is one of a VARIETY of messages used. It is not a 'hold' message, as it did not SAY your test was on hold. It DID, however, indicate what they...

    Dealing with well-meaning but stupid questions?

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

    Q: "you're smart enough to be a doctor, why don't you go to medical school?" A (while laughing): "oh, I know I'm smart enough to be a doctor, I just wasn't sure I was smart enough to be a nurse!"

    RNsRWe replied to Dwalker0163's topic in General Nursing

    Since you asked for advice.....you sound like you are ALL over the map. You want to do everything, LOL, and have a LONG way to go to get to any of them. So.....my advice is to pursue RN education,...

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

    You sound like someone who *probably* should have passed.....yet got to the CC page. Thing is, it really isn't a given, and you already know that. Which is what makes this wait process unbearable,...

    Ah, didn't know you were in Canada when I posted. Well good luck to you

    Can Lpns work in the Med surg unit in hospitals?

    RNsRWe replied to futurerpn4lfe's topic in Canada

    It will greatly depend on where you are. No one can say "they don't work in hospitals" because sometimes, in some places, they still do. Mostly, however, they don't. Med-surg floors are becoming...

    Step up from CNA to LPN...help!

    RNsRWe replied to kalengen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, logically speaking, we can also speak of a Kindergarten-to-College program; it's called Primary School :) Whatever you might be thinking in terms of cna-to-LPN programming, it isn't a shortening...

    Endorsing a GA license to California

    RNsRWe replied to edelwisa's topic in California Nursing

    I'm thinking the problem you most likely will face will have nothing to do with your license, but rather your degree. Do you already have a job waiting? There is a lot of nurse unemployment in CA;...

    What are the REAL limitations between an RN AND a LPN?

    RNsRWe replied to stronginchrist's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And I answered you, based on your apparent misunderstanding. Not sure what 'research' you could have done, though, and not found out so much of what's been posted for you....prior to posting....

    Why is CNA pay so low in Florida

    RNsRWe replied to CountryboyRoy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    it's not just CNAs. Nurses get paid less there too. I would have thought that with an ambulatory clinic and primary and specialty care outfits on nearly every corner, competition would force wages...

    Illinois NCLEX exam

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

    For licensing, you'll need to take the national NCLEX exam (not State boards). But as for the rest, you really should contact the State BON for Illinois directly, or at least post this question in the...

    Please see my message... It's a bit lengthy to be described here.

    RNsRWe replied to mevarghese's topic in International Nursing

    It would seem prudent to post your queston on the International Nurses forum, rather than one for general discussion of types of RN programs. Good

    Failed nclex-rn.. Now what?

    RNsRWe replied to scarletta10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Before anyone can recommend anything to you, we'd need to know what your CPR said: when you fail NCLEX, you receive a notice telling you what your weak areas are, in what areas you did not meet the...

    "Floating" IV

    RNsRWe replied to Marti17's topic in General Nursing

    Not new, and really not revolutionary....it's merely part of the 'art' of getting a good IV insertion. Some go in perfectly, some require a bit of a jiggle, some a little flush float. As long as the...

    The Agony of Da-Feet

    RNsRWe replied to Dewman's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, they're expensive (custom made, after all) but what's your foot pain/health worth? The office also sells ready-made inserts, podiatry-friendly or whatever, but they were not right for me. My...
