    RNsRWe replied to SpencerReid's topic in Texas Nursing

    Surely there's a faster, more accurate way to determine this than by asking a message board open to strangers around the world? I'm assuming you're a new graduate. Have you asked HR what the starting...

    Can nurses have artifical nails?

    RNsRWe replied to MissMiniPink's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think most of the arguments (for having artificial nails) is not the length of the nail. Most normal people realize that long nails and babies don't mix It's the process by which synthetic...

    Can nurses have artifical nails?

    RNsRWe replied to MissMiniPink's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Excellent point, and I don't know why I didn't think of that! OP says she wants to be a nurse, but doesn't indicate she's already in school.....and since I can't imagine a school program allowing...

    RNsRWe replied to MissMiniPink's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There are probably a hundred threads on this topic; type "artificial nails" into the Search box In a nutshell, no matter your reasons for wanting them, no matter how long you've had them, no matter...

    RNsRWe replied to NrsAmanda's topic in General Nursing

    I just posted to you on another thread, where you asked for "new grad" advice. I'm going to continue it here. Whether or not you decide to continue your academic education is a different question,...

    New nurse advice

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

    Advice to any graduate: study for and take the NCLEX as soon as possible after graduation. The longer you wait, the greater your chances for failure. You want that shiny new license ASAP to look...

    RNsRWe replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! And while you may very well have proof of vaccinations, my personal take on it is to get titers drawn to provide a proof of immune status. You may have had the Hep series, for instance,...

    I would say "no kidding!" but I don't want to appear rude. The post makes no sense, so it's hard to give a response other than "what?" The NCLEX is in

    HOW MANY of you have passed NCLEX-RN with 110 questions?

    RNsRWe replied to Sasha, RN 2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, I don't think anyone has ever passed with 110 questions. Or failed with 110 questions. Has anyone ever gotten exactly 110 questions? Obviously, since it's a silly question I'm giving a silly...

    The job market is pretty tight, which is unfortunate if you're just starting out. This might sound obvious, but I have to ask: have you applied everywhere you can think of, including places that...

    Good Pop-Up but still Failed?

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

    I honestly don't think PV is trying to do anything intentional at all, either way. They may have upgraded or simply changed something in their system that results in fewer accurate "trick" responses....

    Good Pop-Up but still Failed?

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

    Whether you consider me a "trusted source" is not really of concern to me, but I am curious as to how you reached the conclusion that this trick "works 100% of the time". If you consider this a valid...

    Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

    RNsRWe replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ah, yes, absolutely....I can see where there would be confusion on official vs unofficial when it comes to whether the applicant should expect a license. Probably for most people, getting past the...

    for those who passed with 75, how long did it took you to take the test?

    RNsRWe replied to Spr2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So this thread will show that it takes anywhere from eleven minutes to 6 hours to pass in 75 questions. YMMV. Game

    RNsRWe replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Have you never heard the phrase "instant gratification takes too long"? After I tested, I was able to pay for the Quick Results, 48 hours after testing. I swear they were the longest 48 hours of my...

    Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

    RNsRWe replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For those who swear "the trick" is completely correct 100% of the time, I would have to ask you this: why would Pearson Vue not recognize this as fact? Why do you suppose that Pearson Vue states very...
