    Nclex-RN shut down at 85

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

    I'm taking a guess that you know very little about the NCLEX...? The minimum number of questions on the RN exam is 75, the minimum number for the PN is 85. Maximum is 265 (RN, anyway, not certain of...

    NCLEX-RN result Help pls!

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

    Ok, I'm going to share this just once, because I see myself in you. When I finished my test, I stumbled out to my car (I say stumbled because I have no recollection of actually walking there, but I...

    RNsRWe replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would have warned him of the dangers of smoking in his room, for safety's sake. And then left him in peace. AND hoped to all that is holy that this poor man WAS enjoying whatever drugs he was...

    Bye bye pre nursing

    RNsRWe replied to ladyk84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    congratulations, indeed! It's quite competitive out there; admission is success in itself :) Read through threads, learn from others' mistakes, that's probably the best "first advice" I can give....

    Ha! Congratulations :) Sitting here smiling at the picture of you sitting in front of your computer, seeing your full name and a fresh new license number on the BON site, and STILL thinking you might...

    Lifting patients

    RNsRWe replied to Blueheart1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having your own patients does not mean being on your own, sole person on the unit! You will learn in school how to move patients safely, so neither you nor the patient ends up injured. You can be...

    RNsRWe replied to aprice884's topic in General Nursing

    Can't really say if this will make you feel better, but I don't think this is unique to nursing (but we might see it more?). I used to work in the business world, and colleagues could be quite...

    2nd time failed in NCLEX RN &BON ILLINOIS RULE 60-10

    RNsRWe replied to shinarwin22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sigh. The point was to get you to be more careful, I KNOW it's "nobody's business", which is why I hoped to get you to see the danger you are putting yourself (and possible future career) in because...

    Transitioning out of Nursing within VA

    RNsRWe replied to Notsomuch2011's topic in Government, Military

    There are MANY options for nurses in the VA! Look at job postings; some of them are directed at licensed nurses and some of them are not specifically for nurses but you might well be qualified...

    RNsRWe replied to shinarwin22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    "I choose NY because of unlimited (testing)". Why this State doesn't stop the foolishness of allowing umpteen NCLEX re-takes is beyond me. There's a reason other States

    NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

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

    Well, the good piece of news you can conclude from having all 265 questions is that you were at or near the passing standard for the entire time. The computer couldn't determine competency until the...

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

    No one can guess which program is best for you; we don't know you. Take a look at each program online, and see which you think best matches your style of learning/studying. Someone passing with Hurst...

    Took Nclex 6/12

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

    At that low a number, either the computer determined that you were competent and there was no point in giving you more questions, or incompetent no matter how many questions more it gave you. What do...

    RNsRWe replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me you have already spent more time on this than it was worth. Your friend is a grown woman, who will either do what is in her best interest (she's certainly gotten plenty of advice!) or she...

    Mandatory Overtime

    RNsRWe replied to newRN_2014's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked where there was mandatory overtime, it really wasn't a very big deal. No one could work more than two 8 hour shifts in a row (so if you were on for a 12, it was only 4 more hours)....

    RNsRWe replied to antonya23's topic in Excelsior College

    Ah, ok. I remembered the scandal, reputation, etc.....found something that I thought reflected that. But yes, I see it's not for the bridge program. OTOH, if there's something so "off" for this...
