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 employees (indicating, naturally, that you break the ...

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 assignment as is. Ummm...NO. They told the newbies...

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

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 (for the love of all that is Holy) don't argue with ...

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. You, with no experience, are not what they are askin...

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 connection can (and will) be happy to use your images ...

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 enough below the passing standard to not be consi...

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 or failing....and any question may be above or belo...

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 nightcap?

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 hope they would choose a qualified candidate over a...

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 satisfy the requirement. You could (and may very w...

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. If you have a good grasp of the material and seem ...

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 bombed it, couldn't possibly pass, even though the st...

Well, I wish you good luck in setting those misconceptions straight in your informative essay. Maybe post it here when it's done?

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 your professor's estimation (as well as others her...

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 well you do on a test, does it? Your car...well, I'v...

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 clarification and will refrain. Thank you.

So if nothing written in a post is against the TOS, but probably isn't what the OP is looking for...it gets deleted?

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 of questioning; having them or not having them is i...

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 time!

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 legally prescribed it, then NO, the BoN cannot take...

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 until it is revised, revoked, or otherwise amended. Y...

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 him?

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 getting accepted into a BSN program as a freshman i...

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 old arrest..? WERE you arrested and did not disc...
