    Passed my quick score but cant find my license online

    RNsRWe replied to hazelym's topic in General Nursing

    Let's back up for a minute. When you say "Quick Score", do you mean Pearson Vue's Quick Results that you paid $7.95 to receive about 48 hours after your exam ended? If yes.....that only means you...

    Can someone explain...please

    RNsRWe replied to muirite's topic in General Nursing

    Using a Google search with your own State as a key word would probably give you the best clue. Since practice varies considerably by State.....make Google your

    Need help deciding.

    RNsRWe replied to lj18's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't understand what it is you need help deciding, I don't see a question on the table. What is it you are seeking advice

    Passed Nclex-PN in Ohio in 85?s

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

    Pearson Vue offers Quick Results 48 hours from completion of the exam, give or take a bit. The only time you're going to see results not available until another day or two has passed is if the...

    Licensing help

    RNsRWe replied to Britthomson2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's definitely more involved than that. My BoN required me to say "pretty please" in writing. THEN I got my license

    Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    RNsRWe replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    I was being a bit flippant in my comment, but I was thinking about how there is so much discussion here about who can have access to the medical supplies/equipment.....after what and how much proof is...

    Military ***

    RNsRWe replied to jessmarih27's topic in Government, Military

    It sounds to me like you want the military (navy? where?) to educate you to be a nurse....without having to go to college to be a nurse...? If I'm understanding you correctly (and it isn't easy, I...

    Grade Forgiveness for nursing school

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

    The question isn't really "which GPA will they consider" but "will I be considered a viable candidate once my transcripts are reviewed". Minimum GPA of 3.0 means that most candidates that find a seat...

    I need help finding a new nursing program!

    RNsRWe replied to Sammolmos11's topic in General Students

    Oh, yes, that figure's been tossed around several times recently on AN. Students who "just can't wait" to attend a school that costs a reasonable sum will frequently ask if it's not worthwhile in the...

    Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    RNsRWe replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    You just described everything in a "regular" BLS class, with the exception of ambu-bag. AED, 2-person CPR, etc is all in the "normal" BLS course. Which, of course, is what makes me think that there's...

    Licensing help

    RNsRWe replied to Britthomson2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    They are usually shocked, too, to discover that jobs aren't being handed out on every street corner by desperate employers with bucketfuls of money to throw at new

    Britt......where in that random list of courses are the nursing lectures, labs and clinical rotations that would give you a NURSING education? Why do you feel you would be able to pass a competency...

    Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    RNsRWe replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    Every CNA or PCT I've ever worked with has had a card for BLS for Healthcare Providers. I *think* the only difference that the "healthcare providers" have in their course (as opposed to the...

    About to take my NCLEX-PN!!

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

    Speaking in generalities, broad strokes, each program 'leans' toward filling the needs of the tester. For example, if you're someone who struggles with the content itself, the basic info, a program...

    I need help finding a new nursing program!

    RNsRWe replied to Sammolmos11's topic in General Students

    Can only hope that the next time a prospective student comes to the site asking if it's a good idea to take on excessive financial burdens so that they can go to a questionable school (which doesn't...

    MA and Volunteering

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

    Volunteering is/should be a rewarding experience from a personal standpoint. How much it "helps" in career advancement depends on what you actually did while a volunteer. Nursing schools (any...

    What is the least stressful high paying nursing specialty?

    RNsRWe replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, no, I'm not snarking about her having an LPN! I'm snarking at the idea that someone who is a new graduate LPN is asking for jobs that go to RNs who have quite a lot of experience....and even then,...

    What is the least stressful high paying nursing specialty?

    RNsRWe replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I don't know. An acquaintance of my son's just told him that now that she completed her vo-tec CNA training, she is a Certified Medical Professional and can do everything a nurse can do (except...

    The anxiety is completely understandable. But no....you either definitely passed, or definitely failed. And the likelihood of you completely bombing out the second time is just not high enough to...

    2015 Pearson Vue Trick

    RNsRWe replied to NewRN815's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There's actually a lot more to it, but essentially it's a Magic 8 Ball. MOST of the time, the "prediction" does match up with the end result. Which is why there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of...

    RNsRWe replied to pithoud2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's safe to say that nearly everyone (ok, everyone NORMAL, lol) feels like they failed the exam. An exam that ends at the minimum number of questions indicates that you did very well and could...

    2015 Pearson Vue Trick

    RNsRWe replied to NewRN815's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are confused as to what the PVT is.....and what it once was, prior to late August 2014. Simply put, you did not actually DO the PVT. The "old way", if someone was attempting to register for a new...
