    Pearson Vue trick changed on me!

    RNsRWe replied to reeree1103's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Unfortunately, yes. Which is why it's called a 'trick' and not 'official results'. MOST of the time, you play the game, and it's correct; sometimes.....it's not. Hang in there, see what the OFFICIAL...

    B's B's B's discouraged with those illusive A's

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

    For some reason your post repeats itself halfway down the message....you might want to edit that to make it easier to read. Suggestions, at this point, would include finding a tutor to discuss where...

    Nursing insurance

    RNsRWe replied to mommasgirls's topic in General Nursing

    NSO is probably the most popular choices for nursing malpractice insurance. Private insurance companies that don't specialize in it can charge more, so they do. Doesn't mean you have to pay it

    " then apply for the nursing program Fall 2015 to get my RN. But lately I have been wondering if I should go straight for my BSN because I want to work in a hospital and I've read that many of them...

    Pearson Vue pop up

    RNsRWe replied to drem7116's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Statistically it's more likely you passed than failed. No one can "validate" the PVT as it's a trick, not official results. Still, the odds are in your favor. If your State participates in Quick...

    RNsRWe replied to ajayson192004's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's your feedback: You answered 75 questions, then the test ended. The computer was able to determine that you either were at or above the passing standard the entire time, and there was no point...

    What kind of Nurse Should I Be?

    RNsRWe replied to sillyy816's topic in General Students

    Honestly? The self-description you gave looks much more like a kindergarten teacher than a nurse. I'm not sure THAT isn't what you should be looking toward....? Have you ever considered the...

    Can't decide which job! Help!!

    RNsRWe replied to j14e's topic in General Nursing

    Really a very personal decision, in the end. I have worked 20 minutes from home, nightshift where coming home in the morning felt like an hour. And I have worked an hour and a half from home, where...

    Nice to see there ARE people who 'get it' out there

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

    You missed the point, so be it. But "unnecessarily chide people" is not what I do here....I am usually found offering helpful information. If you can't see that, can't help you. Carry

    Study NCLEX Now or Later?

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

    Funny, what I was thinking was "of COURSE you're studying for the NCLEX while in nursing school....it's called NURSING SCHOOL!" If your school is worth a p*** in the wind, it will have been preparing...

    How to get a job at Veterans Affairs.

    RNsRWe replied to amy9999's topic in Government, Military

    VA does not have a policy against hiring new grads, but it IS a tough market, and the more qualified the candidate, the better his or her chances are. Many VAMCs have student nurse residency...

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

    Yes. Research "PBI Questions"; the interview scoring process for VA uses Performance Based Interview scenarios. There's quite a lot of info on the VA website itself; otherwise, just use Google. Be...

    RNsRWe replied to amy9999's topic in Government, Military

    "Do you work at Veterans Affairs? How did you find the job?" usajobs.gov is the ONLY way you are going to get to the interview stage, if you are not already employed in the VA system (as you are...

    Call the school you're interested in, and ask them the questions. We can only guess and speak in general terms, which won't help you in the least. For instance, I can tell you that if you are...

    Why are hospital television documentaries okay?

    Running out of questions on NCLEX

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

    Why would you think getting 265 questions and still having time left might mean failure? By that logic, someone with 100 questions and hours left on the clock would also mean failure....which is...

    Holiday Pay-- Anyone else heard of this??

    RNsRWe replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I'll throw this in: A former employer of mine (hospital) offered 8 hours of holiday pay for each holiday recognized as such. If someone normally worked a 12 hour shift and WANTED to only work 8...

    NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

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

    You're welcome :) Based on what you're saying here, I think it's very UNwise to NOT take a day off at this point. Burnout helps you not one bit. A tired mind doesn't absorb well, and often...

    RNsRWe replied to Xaldin4life RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As I said in my last post, the NCLEX will continue to give you questions in areas you are not doing well.....that is how it determines your competency in those areas. If you "kept getting" certain...
