    Trick questions?

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

    Not sure if I can explain it well enough, but I'll give it a try. To pass the NCLEX, you aren't merely answering questions as 'right' and 'wrong'. Questions fall into different levels; at some point...

    New Health Unit Coordinator

    RNsRWe replied to Mhayak8469's topic in General Nursing

    " I am still on my 90 day probationary period, has anyone ever got fired for making stupid mistakes like these?" I'd be more concerned about being fired for posting VERY SPECIFIC information about...

    Part-time or hungry?

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

    There are programs that you can do part-time, but all that means is that you are taking less than the traditional 12 credits that defines full-time. You might not need all the pre-requisite courses,...

    New ADN Grad no previous med experience

    RNsRWe replied to FLboundBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Many schools now include ACLS coursework in their programs, so that new grads have that certification upon graduation. So....I wouldn't say it would make you more desirable, but certainly will at...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    Seems like some VAs don't have that figured out yet. It's not a national problem, though: my facility posts a job, then fills it. RARE, very rare, to have someone who is otherwise ready for boarding...

    Unrestricted RN License

    RNsRWe replied to KRP924's topic in General Nursing

    I *think* the OP is asking because she read a thread in which a nurse who had sanctions (a restricted license) was seeking to resolve that and obtain an UNrestricted license. Very different scenario!...

    FLORIDA NURSES

    RNsRWe replied to Nurse-84's topic in Florida Nursing

    You should post this question in the Florida forum: go to U.S., then find the State. Good

    Unrestricted RN License

    RNsRWe replied to KRP924's topic in General Nursing

    A license becomes restricted as the result of an action by the State Board of Nursing. You are issued a license without restrictions, without sanctions, when you first are granted one. Screw that...

    Question regarding NCLEX grading!!

    RNsRWe replied to NP2BJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    laKrug, there are variously formatted questions at both above passing level and below passing level. Seeing SATA indicates absolutely nothing. Here's the kicker, for those trying to figure out of...

    Question regarding NCLEX grading!!

    RNsRWe replied to NP2BJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You DO have to pass each content area, no idea what that instructor actually said, but you will receive questions in each area of knowledge. If you answer questions correctly that are at or above the...

    If we had a conservative nurses forum

    RNsRWe replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have often been amused at the notion that the person with whom I am speaking decides "what" I am. For instance, in chatting with my father, I am obviously a bleeding-heart liberal with no clue how...

    Could you ever see youself being a classroom teacher

    RNsRWe replied to AspiringRN27's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't homework, as she is not yet in school, based on previous questions/threads. More like seeking out what it is she wants (or doesn't want) regarding a possible nursing future. As for the...

    Computer error

    RNsRWe replied to Nurse shaki's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not sure what she meant by "not opening up on her system". She does not have access to your results any more than you do. And frankly it was unnecessarily cruel of her to toy with you like that. She...

    nevada failed 3 times what should I do now?

    RNsRWe replied to nicole1122's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It seems pretty clear to me that a phone call to your State Board of Nursing is in order. Only they can tell you what requirements you now have to have in place in order to test again. Have you not...

    Question regarding NCLEX grading!!

    RNsRWe replied to NP2BJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    a quick side note to akulahawkRN: I'm glad you're posting on this forum; your information regarding how the NCLEX works is correct and helpful. SO many people studying for this exam--or even after...

    Coping and strategies after failing

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

    Well, the first and most obvious one is to get HER on this forum. She needs to be able to take the reins, see what went wrong, what she can do to make it right. As her parent, you want her to stop...

    Abuse at school

    RNsRWe replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    Just plain weird. Go with it! I'm now picturing a scruffy guy in a dirty undershirt, sitting in a dark room surrounded by pizza boxes and beer cans, tapping away at how nursing school done him (her?)...

    Abuse at school

    RNsRWe replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    I post tips all the time. Do a search I thought the reason I wanted to post was obvious: sometimes, people get so caught up in a thread that they can't see when someone is playing them. There's my...

    RN-Bsn- what if you dont get accepted?

    RNsRWe replied to martymoose's topic in School, College Programs

    There's a plethora of online programs that are very happy to have students in their RN-BSN courses....and at decent rates. Honestly, I can't think of ANYONE who has been rejected from any of them!...

    RNsRWe replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    Ummmm......guys? Doesn't this thread smack of baiting to you? I got only a few in and thought "I think someone is unhappy about something (though not entirely certain what) and feels like yanking...

    Nursing Certs for New Grads

    RNsRWe replied to jessica8302's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A good, complete ACLS course will cover reading strips, rhythms (after all, need to know what med goes with what rhythm!). I believe that's a good bet for

    Nursing Certs for New Grads

    RNsRWe replied to jessica8302's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You only qualify for ACLS and/or PALS; the certifications that will aide in finding better jobs require experience in the field in which you are seeking to become certfied. As an example, to sit for...

    Where are LPNs typically used?

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

    Like the previous posters said, it really depends on the area in which you live. In my region, LPNs are typically found (ok, ONLY found) in long-term care and clinics/medical offices. They are not...
