    I NEED AN ANSWER!

    RNsRWe replied to STXGirl2009's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This thread grows more absurd by the minute. Pinay, you aren't making much sense: you say that background checks are not legal (and of course they are). Then you say that you run them on your own...

    Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    RNsRWe replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I used to work for a place that liked to threaten new nurses by telling them (when they balked, naturally, at taking a ghastly assignment) that it was "patient abandonment" if they didn't take that...

    Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    RNsRWe replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wonder if you arrived at the decision to post this piece before or after consuming your daily marijuana

    RNsRWe replied to Ashley1640's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think of it as needing luck (even though I SAID " good luck"!): you go in confident that you will devote plenty of time to studying, be open to new ideas and suggestions, LISTEN and LEARN and...

    Clarification on "1 year of experience or equivalent?"

    RNsRWe replied to Kebby1016's topic in General Nursing

    Someone with nine months of experience, but who picks up lots of PRN shifts giving lots of overtime, could certainly have the equivalent of "one year". Not a chronological year, but....equivalent....

    Hi, Ashley. A quick "word to the wise", if you will: using your first name and a photo of yourself as an avatar is inviting trouble on a public forum such as this. Any headcase with an internet...

    I'm a living proof of failing NCLEX PN with 85 questions

    RNsRWe replied to GKnurse2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well.....first thing I'd suggest would be to take a look at the CPR; it'll tell you in what areas you were close to passing, where you weren't close at all. Failing at 85 questions means you were far...

    NCLEX @ 75

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

    Most of what you wrote has no bearing on whether you passed or failed. Format type, area of questions, focus of questions.....means nothing. SATA is a format type, and is not indicative or passing...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    RNsRWe replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    Is your stance really that confusion over laws concerning marijuana use prompted people to engage in race riots? Honestly? Did you arrive at this conclusion before or after smoking your

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    RNsRWe replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    I think the word "discrimination in hiring" is typically taken out of context, and given an implication that isn't there. Of COURSE employers discriminate in hiring...and I should hope SO! I would...

    Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    RNsRWe replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    Since your assignment was so specific (RN, not LPN/LVN) you must be able to verify a name and credentials of the person you interviewed....and an anonymous online message board will not allow you to...

    most recommended

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

    Reading an NCLEX review book before you have any knowledge to review can be counterproductive. First and foremost, see what books you are already being assigned, and see how the classes go for you....

    shut off at 76..

    RNsRWe replied to lizD0617's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Of course people have passed with 76 questions. People pass and fail with every possible amount of questions from the minimum to the maximum. What you're feeling is normal. MOST people feel they...

    Should I make a stink about this?

    RNsRWe replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, the point being made (regardless of whether you like how it is said) is that while YOU believe you are something of an expert on the topic for which you were tested....it appears that at least in...

    Getting a C in Anatomy :(

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

    THIS should not be "freaking you out". There is considerably more ahead to see you through the "freaked out" process. Study. Get better grades. Your teacher's opinion of you has no bearing on how...

    Misconceptions about Nurses.

    RNsRWe replied to vnvelez90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I believe my interpretation must be different as to what is and is not against the TOS and while I don't feel mine was anything but tongue-in-cheek humor that WOULD be permitted... I appreciate the...

    Am I studying enough?

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

    UWorld may have been the change you needed in order to pass....or, it could be just that it was the third time taking it, so it went better for you. SATA questions are merely an alternative format...

    Just took nclex-pn and had to do all 205 questions. Don't feel good about it :-(

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

    Sorry...it happens. Take a look at the CPR; it'll tell you where you need to focus your attention in order to formulate a new study plan. Good luck for next

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    RNsRWe replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    This was a little hard to follow, but I think you're asking if the BoN can take an action against you if you are reported to them for smoking marijuana...? If it is legal in your State, and you are...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    RNsRWe replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    While debate and discussion may be done ad nauseum for entertainment value, unless a specific plan is made to effect a change in State and/or Federal law.....it is all meaningless. The law stands...

    Is it illegal to place a towel over a patient's face?

    RNsRWe replied to poolnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Are you asking if it's ok to cover a patient's entire face to keep his/her from spitting at you? How do you plan to affix this towel so you don't suffocate

    What they said. Of course you feel "way pressured" for good grades, because that IS the only way you will become a nurse. You are already a senior in high school, with a poor academic standing, so...

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

    I'm sorry, this is REALLY hard to follow: a single sentence that isn't making a lot of sense to me. It looks like you passed the NCLEX.....but the State BoN might not issue you a license because of an...
