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

    NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

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

    I think today's applicants, used to having nearly everything instantly because of technology, would probably keel over and die if they were told they'd be waiting 3 months to find out if they passed....

    Ah, ok. Not using the Quote feature to indicate that made it seem you were responding to the person who posted the thread. No, I don't discourage questions, but I do like to summarize when I see alot...

    RN to BSN Does it help

    Cochran School of Nursing Orientation

    RNsRWe replied to gbest529's topic in New York Nursing

    I think you need to contact the school, and FAST. They can certainly give you information if you cannot attend, but you might find it's mandatory in order to stay in the program.

    Cleaning and changing colostomy bag

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

    Yes, this is typically a CNA's responsibility. It's simple to do, as the LPN demonstrated. And learning is always a good thing

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

    If your State participates in Quick Results, you might want to spend the $8 for it. It will at least tell you if you passed or failed; if there's any reason actual licensing might be delayed (only...

    Didn't get Pearson Vue Pop-up.. Finished with 75 Questions

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

    Well, stopping at the minimum number of questions is either very good news or very bad news. You either were able to demonstrate that you were at or above passing throughout the exam, and there was...

    Nurses selling at work?

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

    Was this tongue-in-cheek? Hope so. If serious, I'm glad you have enough disposable income to humor a list of kids selling a ridiculous assortment of expensive junk, and to contribute ot every...

    RNsRWe replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in Government, Military

    Nurses selling at work?

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

    Wow, is THIS timely. Today I had the bizarre experience of witnessing two teenagers text-speaking while SPEAKING. I kid you not. They each used the word "hashtag" WHILE SPEAKING. Not as a noun....

    RNsRWe replied to Determination08's topic in Nursing Career

    What do you mean? You've already received PAGES of information, had the same questions you've asked a number of times answered. Repeatedly. From what I've gathered here, it's because they don't...

    Favorite Clinical Rotation

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

    I'm not a student anymore, but maybe I'll answer anyway :) I think there were several equally-interesting rotations. Couldn't choose just one. For what it's worth, the one rotation I absolutely hated...
