    Curious about the VA HOSPITAL

    RNsRWe replied to Sabr's topic in Government, Military

    Exactly. Your job grade/level/step is determined by those points, and they cannot assume what you do and don't know, what you did and did not experience. So the better the detail, the better your...

    Curious about the VA HOSPITAL

    RNsRWe replied to Sabr's topic in Government, Military

    Noted. But he WAS talking about nurses, not non-nurses. At any rate, it isn't the NURSES who are disputing who is and isn't a nurse, LOL....it's administration. They're the ones who deemed LPNs...

    LPN vs RN vs MA- Doctor's Office Job

    RNsRWe replied to WishfulLpn26's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    "I decided that I want to either work in a doctor's office or do home care instead of working in a hospital or nursing home." ~ WishfulLPN26 Ok....Why? What is it you DO want to do, or see yourself...

    LPN vs RN vs MA- Doctor's Office Job

    RNsRWe replied to WishfulLpn26's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    She didn't say that, or even suggest it, from what I read. Just saying that there are options if one doesn't want the responsibility that goes along with being an RN (because, obviously,...

    Nclex and stuff

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

    I'm about to give you the very best input you'll ever get on the subject: stop asking for input :) You're anxious, it's expected. You're nervous about the Great Unknown, the licensing exam...and it's...

    Good Pop-Up but still Failed?

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

    "everyone you know", hmm? There's an equally unscientific survey, on this site, that puts the accuracy at about 90%. Still pretty

    Failing the NCLEX...

    RNsRWe replied to KJoRN81's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, OK! LOL, I thought I was seeing things because June 16th's post was 'I failed' and July 2nd's post was 'I passed'! Wondered what happened in the last two weeks....:) Congrats, and welcome to...

    Curious about the VA HOSPITAL

    RNsRWe replied to Sabr's topic in Government, Military

    Not really a correction needed, as the language is important: in "VA world", as I'm sure you know, when they say "nurse" they MEAN 'RN'. LPNs, while no one disputes them as nurses, are classified...

    last question wrong and bad pop up...failed?

    RNsRWe replied to lol-lisa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When you get your performance report in the mail, take a good look at it. This will tell you why you failed...what you need to focus on in order to pass. Once you know that, you can better prepare...

    Just passed.. My 2¢

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

    Regarding the questions you felt were from left-field, hadn't had any knowledge of before the NCLEX, it might be worth a reminder that there ARE questions on the NCLEX that are NOT counted in your...

    Failing the NCLEX...

    RNsRWe replied to KJoRN81's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok, now I'm officially confused: your first post said you had failed, and cited the CPR. Next post said you had passed. What happened between Post A and Post B? Did you get an official notice of...

    Curious about the VA HOSPITAL

    RNsRWe replied to Sabr's topic in Government, Military

    SO true! But I think that if someone's really serious about getting a job, they'll do it all. Those who throw their hands up halfway through and say "I'm not doing this nonsense" don't get hired....

    Best Nclex recommendation

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

    Simmonsj: No, we can't. That's because we don't know what your weak areas were, WHY you had failed twice before. What one person uses as a study guide and passes, another one uses and fails. It's...

    nclex rn this a.m.. 75q!

    RNsRWe replied to jglover4168's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Format of the questions is completely irrelevant. As are "priority" questions. They don't indicate anything. Popups? Mostly accurate. A better indication would be the 75 question minimum itself....

    HELP! Failed @ 265 & results all "near passing standard"

    RNsRWe replied to jenniferm89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, what's frequently the case when you have the max questions and are near passing standard across the board is that you have the knowledge necessary to pass the exam, but consistently choose the...

    Applying To Nursing School - Discouraged

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

    sorry to hear about your situation. I hope the counselor wasn't actually "rude and demeaning"; sometimes these folks are put in the position of telling dozens of people on a daily basis that they...

    Vaping as opposed to cigarettes?

    RNsRWe replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    I didn't say it was bad BECAUSE there is no FDA oversight. I said it was bad because currently there is NO regulation in place dictating the consumer as to WHAT is IN the thing they are buying. You...

    What to wear to orientation?

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

    Follow the direction of the facility. If they gave NONE, then business casual: slacks, shoes (no open anything, no sneakers), a top that fits properly (not short, not tight). If they said "business...
