    How frequently is the NCLEX offered?

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

    Scheduling (how many per day, etc) is determined by the individual Pearson Vue Testing Centers. This time of year, you can expect most (if not all?) to be doing many appointments per day, every day,...

    Does being able to answer NCLEX style questions reflect success as a future nurse?

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

    Because it isn't intuitive doesn't mean it can't be learned. The idea of a "born critical thinker" being superior to someone who has studied the steps and has learned to be one isn't sound. Nursing...

    Just a Rant!

    RNsRWe replied to 2011RN's topic in General Nursing

    You are obviously working at a VAMC and this is NOT the norm. Sounds like the culture there is hideous, and should be reported HIGH up the food chain. Our veterans deserve far better than this!...

    Need Help and advice.

    RNsRWe replied to rn1116's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't that codeine "metabolized to morphine", it IS morphine (natural). And Dilaudid is synthetic morphine. If you were prescribed codeine (any brand name) or Dilaudid (brand name), you WERE...

    Any Jewish nurses?

    RNsRWe replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    LOL, I was also confused, thinking "she promised to become a Jew if she makes it through nursing school??" Ha! Well, once you finish up, we'll welcome you to the (small) group of Jewish nurses!

    Oh. My. Word! To Crazy and Apple: I think if I were in your shoes (bad pun but hey, I'm tired) I'd stick the shoes in a snap-top tub. We actually keep several of these kinds of tubs around the...

    Are nursing schools saturated, less applying?

    RNsRWe replied to I'm_no_Genius_but's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't speak for Tennessee, but I don't think I'd correlate the building of more schools/adding onto enrollment with a dearth of qualified professionals. SO MANY schools have popped up, or added...

    RNsRWe replied to sparky605's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school I was a nut about this stuff: would take off my nursing shoes at my car, so that I could put them in a bag and drive home with "germs contained", lol. Shoes then went onto...

    New nurse starting night shift

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

    I'm sure you'll get lots of good info here; I'll just offer this: night shift nurses can expect to spend a good amount of time on med reconciliations, checking and picking up missed orders for the...

    Are nursing schools saturated, less applying?

    RNsRWe replied to I'm_no_Genius_but's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Might be worth a mention that I have seen instructors leave teaching because they could make considerably more doing hospital work. Being paid by the (actual) hour instead of a salary makes a huge...

    RNsRWe replied to I'm_no_Genius_but's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The word is still misspelled (assuming you were talking about valid being misspelled....?) At any rate, it is not up to any school to give a lecture or hand out information about what the job...

    Nurses and Computer: Venting

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

    FutureNurseColeman: I'm wondering if that nurse you keep "putting in her place" and is about to have you "going at her hard" recognizes you on this website? Not the smartest way to vent, with your...

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

    You made your desire to travel understood. But what is your question? If you take too much time off for play, you might find that your college courses are too old to be considered for entry into a...

    Nursing Schools are so stupid...

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

    The OP did not come here to get help. He/she only wished to complain about how wronged he was, how it was all so unfair. But the audience he chose to complain to is not easily accepting of...

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

    You are SO right. Nursing schools really are "stupid". The testing for admission is really a huge waste of time, why shouldn't they just accept the grades in the classes you did well in, and that's...

    Those who had satas on Nclex.. what were they mainly on?

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

    What someone else got in the way of questions is entirely irrelevant. They received questions in areas where they showed weakness, and continued to receive questions until the computer was...
