    Denied a job, what would you do?

    RNsRWe replied to jpdlii's topic in Nursing Career

    And isn't that the way of it? At one time, diploma nursing (graduates of a hospital school of nursing) was the norm. Then came along the newfangled college degrees. At one time, an ADN opened any...

    PVT..how accurate is it

    RNsRWe replied to regfel808's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Like Mr. Chicago posted, either you believe it works or you don't. MOST of the time, it's accurate. You want a guarantee? Not going to get one; it's a TRICK. Sometimes, it hasn't worked. Nine...

    Nurse-Run Child Care

    RNsRWe replied to tigerRN922's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Y'know, I read your post when it first went up, no responses....and I really hesitated to post what I thought for fear of raining on your parade. And I've had a kinda cruddy day, so maybe I would be...

    Denied a job, what would you do?

    RNsRWe replied to jpdlii's topic in Nursing Career

    ...and as an ADN nurse I was repeatedly chosen for charge positions, and eventually permanent charge, not because of (in spite of?) my degree, but because of my experiences both inside and outside of...

    Perhaps you did have a great interview, but there is more in play here than you know about. Scheduling an appointment with that hiring manager and asking questions such as VivaGirl suggested might...

    Do you want to be jobless after nursing school? I didn't think so...

    RNsRWe replied to Manny92's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Oh, I see. It's just experience in healthcare in general that will give you the extra $$ boost, which DOES make sense. I think that's a bit unusual, though...most of the time, when I hear of new...

    Ouch. Better duck; some serious fireballs are coming your way. And, I believe, you rightfully deserve

    NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

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

    Not sure what you mean by this. ALL the pop ups, "good" or "bad", are still not 100% accurate. They are *mostly* correct. Which means that some people will be either mistakenly elated or mistakenly...

    Fired 6 weeks into orientation

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

    I guess I hadn't thought about it much (no tangled web of deception, lol, so not much thought to the details!). I honestly wouldn't have thought of anyone checking to see if SS payments were made on...

    This intrigues me.....how is it legal for anyone to access Social Security payment information? I'm not naive, but this is the first time I've heard of this type of

    RNsRWe replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not exactly sure what you're asking.....if you're a CNA, you can apply for an open CNA position (https://www.usajobs.gov/). If you're currently a student in a BSN program, you can apply for a "nurse...

    RNsRWe replied to fingerscrossed7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Let your brain relax! Deep breathe. Take the evening off; at this point you either know it or you don't. Don't torture yourself. Do your best to get a good night's rest (I know, I know, easier said...

    Failed NCLEX first attempt

    RNsRWe replied to cmckee11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe they've changed their guarantee, but it used to be that they guaranteed you'd pass....or you could take their course again. Until you did passed, or something like that. They didn't used to...

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

    And did you worry that those SATA questions meant something one way or the other? Did you try to read into it how you did on the exam based on that? If yes....there is the waste of time I mentioned....

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

    I'm glad to hear it went fine for you, truly. But I think I CAN generalize, because people taking this exam aren't all that different: they either are calm and collected about it, or.....not. And it...

    RNsRWe replied to Manny92's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Seriously? I can't imagine a facility deeming 2 years of CNA work as equivalent to 1 year of RN work. Not even the same ballpark of responsibility. I'd never knock the value of a good CNA (couldn't...

    Good point, but most BONs don't have anything to do with CNAs; they usually are under the State Health Department. Not always, but if you don't have a license that is controlled by the State BON,...
