    RNsRWe replied to Rebekah1882's topic in General Nursing

    I will never forget the patient who, upon reaching my med-surg floor, unfolded a multi-page computer printout. And then very matter-of-factly telling me that I could review them, so "you'll know how...

    RNsRWe replied to Nurse2beMN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The answer is yes and yes :) Once someone has satisfied the computer that an area of knowledge has had sufficient demonstration of competence, it moves on. If it keeps returning, most you weren't at...

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

    Yes :) It's not official (as, obviously, it wouldn't be called a trick if it were) but it's about 90% accurate. Meaning that if you got a message such as you did, you are very likely to have passed....

    Is anyone else bothered by this? You should be

    RNsRWe replied to ronchelednik's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, I wouldn't be too scared :) I think you'd find that most nurses do rack up CE, CEUs. While State renewal of licenses doesn't require it, maintaining speciality certifications do, so....you'll find...

    Is anyone else bothered by this? You should be

    RNsRWe replied to ronchelednik's topic in General Nursing

    I've often thought it odd that I have no requirements for CE beyond a q4y Infection Control course. For what it's worth, PHYSICIANS also have varying standards, including (in my State) no CE's other...

    Staying afloat on a nurse's salary?

    RNsRWe replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    I answered your first post based on the interpretation that you did not know how to budget expenses based on income. That, however, is a far cry from this rather silly post. How on earth can you...

    Ok, you have GOT to stop talking in code. How do we know if other people got what you did when you have yet to say WHAT was the message you saw on your screen? Was it something to the effect of...

    A question about the PACU and arthroscopy

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

    Maybe you're just sensitive right now, with the NCLEX failure so recent. But Rose_Queen wasn't being rude, she was trying to TEACH you something. Something useful for studying for this exam....how...

    You never actually said you PASSED, lol, but I'm going with that. And I'm honored to be the first here to congratulate you! Well-deserved. And don't stay silent.....YOU can be a resource, now, too...

    Then I'll save you some trouble. There's nothing to research. Holds last 2-3 days, typically. Sometimes longer. Means nothing to you, nothing to 'research'....well, it DOES mean that you'll be...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Orientation will be a few days with HR, going over a bazillion things you need to know (some you really need to know, some you need to know who to ask or where to look). You will wear business...

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

    How incredibly rude. 'Thank you' would have been more appropriate. Well, Grandma, you'll just have to pardon me for offering to help. In my experience, the fact that something is posted dozens of...

    How to get a job at Veterans Affairs.

    RNsRWe replied to amy9999's topic in Government, Military

    So....the info you found was on PBI, yes? I was going to suggest, like pfchang did, that once you put 'PBI questions' into Google, the va.gov site is the first one that turns up. Nervous isn't bad....

    Bingo :) Networking matters. And around here, they don't take ASN, which is why I focused on BSN. Some of the students come back both summers, then apply upon

    RNsRWe replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    LPN or LVN jobs in peds

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

    This might sound obvious, but....have you done an online search by State for hospitals, then looked up job postings for each? If you see LPN positions open, you have your answer. If you don't....then...

    RNsRWe replied to pnpmycallin2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No one can answer this accurately for you, sorry. Programs differ somewhat from each other in that some focus more on strategy (what is this question really asking?) and some focus more on content...

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

    And I'm shocked I didn't think of that myself! But you are absolutely correct. Although the problem that I outlined in my post would still exist: no one would know if they were memorizing questions...

    One of the better-kept secrets! Hence, the reason I mentioned it to Lubbock....if you simply reject an offer, that's it. But if you say "hey, everything is good, EXCEPT the grade/step you assigned to...
