    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    RNsRWe replied to ms.gin728's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can't. Michelle is mistaken. YOU don't do any of it "right or wrong". Sometimes the machine makes a bad read, and another pass is needed to get the scan done. ALL THAT MEANS is that you should...

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    RNsRWe replied to ms.gin728's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Except when it doesn't. Test charges have been made for people who have passed. When you're willing to offer Pearson Vue a credit card, sometimes they take it. Bad info. Except when you don't....

    How to deter when asked personal questions by patients?

    RNsRWe replied to nianavaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose "unmarried, looking for my soul mate and father to my future children....are you that person?" is probably wrong.... J/K! Jade's spiel is my own

    Who comes up with the expiration dates for supplies??

    RNsRWe replied to AcuteHD's topic in General Nursing

    MMJ, I am staring at a box of syringes that have no expiration date. And if it's coded, LOL....no one is going to KNOW when or if they expire! Beyond that....since syringes don't go IN or ON a body...

    LOL! Nah, there's been far worse, believe me. My nursing skills are not magical, unfortunately they were learned the old fashioned way. Now I'm wishing I was

    Who comes up with the expiration dates for supplies??

    RNsRWe replied to AcuteHD's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent question, and one for which I hope someone has a knowledgeable answer! I have often wondered why on Earth there are even expiration dates at all on some things...ok, yeah, maybe it's not...

    RNsRWe replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ah yes, the good old allergies list. In my job I spend a fare amount of time asking questions so that I know if I can administer a med, vaccine, etc right then. It isn't just info-gathering; I really...

    RNsRWe replied to bubba0816's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After reading through the story, what jumps out at me is the bottom line: you will not be allowed to sit for the NCLEX for the State of Texas until you have done what they want. That said, you CAN...

    Waiting for NCLEX RN results and PVT

    RNsRWe replied to WANNAbeRN15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PVT matches what you think the results should be most of the time. NOT ALL, and yes sometimes it's going to charge you or attempt to charge you even though you passed. Sometimes it won't let you...

    There IS no advice, no pointers to give you now: you are done! You took the test; all you can do now is wait for the results. Good

    NCLEX PN ...shut off at 89!!!

    RNsRWe replied to Crr89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is a very rare person who does NOT feel horrible walking out of that exam. Very normal, in fact, to believe you bombed it rather than passed! If it's your first go-round, and you graduated from a...

    I think you mean none of your experience prior to holding a nursing license would be considered...yes? Only nursing experience is considered relevant, and only the experience you have had since...

    VetPro process in the VA

    RNsRWe replied to BlueRN95's topic in Government, Military

    Process is the same in this regard (see above). You shouldn't expect to hear anything regarding salary --or a start date-- until your physical is done and you have been cleared by employee health....

    I don't know what to do!

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

    If you have done self-study three times and failed after each prep, it's time to do something different. Find a tutor who can do 1:1 study prep with you, and let that person figure out where you...

    RNsRWe replied to sasasa25's topic in General Students

    It would be up to the school you transfer to if they allow any credit at all from your previous courses. Sometimes it would fulfill an elective...sometimes not even that. As long as a school is...
