    RNsRWe replied to cherry5angelica's topic in Chamberlain College

    1 - Unless your general education from your first degree involved microbiology, A&P (I&II), psychology.....the sciences, really....you would likely have pre-requisites to take before being...

    Graduating High School with ASN

    RNsRWe replied to KCW98's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Something else worth finding out, from the associated college's nursing admissions office, is whether a minor would be allowed to enroll in clinicals. If you would be under 18 years old, I imagine...

    RNsRWe replied to itsacalling721's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    STOP IT! The test is tomorrow, period. Get off the computer...NOW....and do something relaxing, something you enjoy: Take a walk with the dog. Cuddle with the cat. Take a long hot shower or a...

    male nursing student seeking some advice!

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

    DO: Raise your grades as high as you can manage. That will always help. DON'T: Ever admit to thinking that being gay, Hispanic or male would increase your chance of getting into school. This isn't...

    WHY do employers that give 2-3 days orientation require a month's notice of resignati

    RNsRWe replied to Nola009's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I worked for an employer that had it stated clearly in the New Employee Handbook that an employee was expected to give the same period of time as a notice that they had for vacation. In other words,...

    Is NLNAC or CCNE required for VA Hospital RN's

    RNsRWe replied to RLeeRN's topic in Government, Military

    The process can be as fast as three weeks, or as long as several months. Much depends on the clarity of the original application (if it isn't complete, forget it), as well as how fast your references...

    CNA second job interview help

    RNsRWe replied to pinknails's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What is it you need help with? "they call me back for this interview super fast is that a good thing?" Well, I guess if they're open to hiring you....yes....? Unless they are desperate to hire anyone...

    Do you think acute care nursing is becoming less safe?

    RNsRWe replied to Emergent's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Will never forget being told when I was still a shiny fresh new grad that nursing was an expense, not an income generator....and we were lumped into the same "expense category" with housekeeping....

    VA Nursing Background Check

    RNsRWe replied to alternate's topic in Government, Military

    It isn't asking if you felt you paid for your mistakes. Your words: " On the application, it asks if you have ever received an Article 15 in the last 7 years. Unfortunately, I have received 2 in the...

    Being a SAHM after graduation

    RNsRWe replied to KatarinaCoffman's topic in Nursing Career

    Just a quick note: since SO MANY parents want to work the same hours as their kids, school nursing is a VERY popular choice. Perhaps it's regional, but where I am, there's no way--and I mean...

    criminal back ground check

    RNsRWe replied to raphael123's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would suggest you direct this question to your State's Board of Nursing (BON) for the best answer. Individual States have rules and requirements that differ from others; unless someone is in your...

    Pearson Vue Pop Up Meanings

    RNsRWe replied to RN_Student14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To RN_Student14: I think what LadyFree was getting at (at least, what I was getting at, and I think she further commented on) is I was just questioning your use of "99.9% accuracy" and wondering how...

    BSN from 4 year program required

    RNsRWe replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Interesting. I imagine by "public nursing website" you mean the SBON? If that's so, then it's up to each BON to put it up there. Mine does not. Actually, I don't like how mine lists licenses;...

    Pearson Vue Pop Up Meanings

    RNsRWe replied to RN_Student14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sure many test-takers will appreciate your clarification of the pop ups. However, when you state someone has a "99.9% chance of passing", where is that statistic coming from? Would you please cite...

    West Coast University. Good School?

    RNsRWe replied to jlsretro86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you "get hired right away" if you graduate from a good school? If I understand you correctly, you are already aware that there is virtually no open employment for new grads in California.....even...

    Is NLNAC or CCNE required for VA Hospital RN's

    RNsRWe replied to RLeeRN's topic in Government, Military

    A call placed to the Nurse Recruiter is worth the time, as you are NOT "flagged" in any way. Either your application meets the requirements or it doesn't. Bringing it to the attention of the...

    VA Nursing Background Check

    RNsRWe replied to alternate's topic in Government, Military

    Applicants are taken out of hiring, deleted from candidacy all the time for inaccuracies in their applications. Usually the opportunity for an explanation is not afforded; either the candidate knew...

    Easy RN admission program in Tennessee

    RNsRWe replied to Bambi22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    According to what I found online, the pass rate for 2009 was 95%, 2010 and 2011 were each 96%. I wonder how it is that they have such minimum (actually, practically zero) entry requirements when other...

    RN working as CNA under an LPN?

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

    I am frequently surprised by those who fail the NCLEX-RN and then treat the PN exam as though it was a consolation prize to be had. The scope of practice for an RN and LPN are, as you know, quite...

    RN working as CNA under an LPN?

    RNsRWe replied to RNlove17's topic in General Nursing

    I think the only thing that could potentially worry me (if it were me) would be if I were expected to do RN tasks because, after all, I'm an RN. And you can't "turn off" your license; if you fail to...

    NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

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

    I firmly believe that the anxiety leading up to the test makes the test itself seem much much worse than it actually is. I, personally, used the Kaplan system (Qbank questions, practice tests, etc)...
