    Passed 3rd time in FL?

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

    I just don't understand why you are asking the question, "has anyone recently taken the NCLEX for the third time in Florida and passed". Firstly....WHERE the test is taken makes no difference on the...

    Which is better to be hired in peds?

    RNsRWe replied to FLNurse2015's topic in Pediatric

    Brittnee, I wrote to you on another thread but maybe you haven't been back there. I had said that you really do need to change your UserID, as you are a pre-nursing student....not an RN. You are...

    Salary of an RN?

    RNsRWe replied to hardworkingmom9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same thing as everywhere: Human Resources :) Magnet Status was originally a campaign designed to attract RNs with higher education. The propaganda was that such a facility (with more BSNs than the...

    Failed nclex-rn many times. thinking of taking LPN nclex.

    RNsRWe replied to bubba0816's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NCLEX is a national exam, therefore it doesn't matter where you take it. Seems to me if you want to work in Florida, you ought to seek a license from them FIRST. If you become ineligible to test...

    Realized floor nursing isn't for me, anything else i can do with a bsn?

    RNsRWe replied to enchantedlife's topic in General Students

    Being 1:1 with a patient in a homecare setting WITHOUT sufficient acute bedside care experience should terrify you, not appeal to you! Consider this: you take a job where you are the sole caregiver...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    My personal faves are the ones who declare that their future is in the ICU. They need their clinical time to practice SAVING LIVES, not doing meager ADLs! Yeah....ok.....with one tech for the whole...

    Salary of an RN?

    RNsRWe replied to hardworkingmom9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Couple of quickies: Magnet doesn't indicate how good a hospital is, but rather what percentage of their RNs are BSNs. "Magnet" was SUPPOSED to indicate that such a hospital was better for RNs to...

    Considering a new job

    RNsRWe replied to Kimberly815's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto what they said. You aren't yet qualified for that job, why would you want to burn your bridges now? Either wait out the time required before you would be a viable candidate, or apply to...

    RNsRWe replied to enchantedlife's topic in General Students

    Any job in nursing will require you to have not just the BSN degree, but an RN license. You will need to get that first. There are jobs that don't require one to hold an active license, such as...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RNsRWe replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Clearly not. I have precepted new grads, hired for my unit (or hired to float). I have had students (still in school) assigned to my patients, with varying degrees of success. Some of them were...

    Discovered a boo-boo on Social Media

    RNsRWe replied to mmc51264's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wasn't suggesting YOU were an HR "troll", lol, I was just saying that it's pretty common practice nowadays to have someone (or more than one) in HR scanning the internet, looking for anything linked...

    Discovered a boo-boo on Social Media

    RNsRWe replied to mmc51264's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Many facilities (especially larger organizations) have as one of HR's duties trolling the internet looking for discussions/rants/complaints involving their company. Google is a valuable tool when...

    Why does the BON charge to get "quick results" for NCLEX ?

    RNsRWe replied to healerbygrace's topic in General Nursing

    Healer, I think the reason for your confusion may be because you aren't realizing just WHO you are paying....and for what. You are NOT paying the BoN in your State for the Quick Results. You are...

    240 questions in 6 hours and I feel like crying

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

    Your exam, at the minimum number of questions, was a clear-cut pass, or a clear-cut fail. The OP's test was VERY DIFFERENT, and if he submits credit card data it means NOTHING this early. He needs...

    Skip the PVT, it's a stupid game. If you get a 'good' pop up, you won't be any more relieved than before you did it, you still won't know anything for sure. And if you get the 'bad' pop up, it'll...

    You are correct. Thing is, one can't know if one was above or below at any point in that %^! testing process, so....all anyone can do is hope for the best! Good luck

    I hear ya, but I'm not talking about those. THOSE we (several of us who haunt this page, lol) do correct, and explain they have to actually submit financial data. It's not a 'system crash', per se,...

    RNsRWe replied to ms.gin728's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Might be a good idea, then, to use the "Quote" button when responding to a specific post, like I did here. Otherwise, it looks like you are responding only to the person just before you (at the end...

    How to deter when asked personal questions by patients?

    Yep, he snapped. But surely this isn't the first time someone has been rude to you on the phone, or was 'done' answering multiple questions (he did give you the numbers to call for further help)? You...

    Do you believe that those people are lying? For what purpose? I have been at this long enough to have seen some "bad pop ups" end up with licenses. Paid $200 sometimes...and sometimes just "card...
