    Nclex what you don't expect

    RNsRWe replied to Tuesday17's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Great story, indeed! Except, I got a hotel as close as possible to the testing center so I didn't have to do anything but aim my car a half mile down the road and pull into the parking lot. If I...

    RNsRWe replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    If it's the first time you're there, go to the Login link, put in your AN username and password, and it should pop you right in. And yes, after that, I just go to the breakroom without any further ado...

    RNsRWe replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, it appears I am something of an idiot here....something my detractors would revel in me revealing, no doubt! I thought since the link led me to what appeared to be a new site that required...

    RNsRWe replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    I can't seem to GET to the breakroom...not sure why it requires a second registration, but when I attempted to do so (using my name from here, after all, it IS me), it tells me that name is already in...

    First-time DUI applying to nursing school in Fall 2012

    RNsRWe replied to erik88's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    And tell them what? That the OP might get a conviction or might not....or might get jail time or might not...or might get a suspended or revoked license--or, you guessed it--maybe not? No, the thing...

    I'm interested in nursing but not sure...

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

    I think the question you need to ask yourself, first and foremost, is "how much do I want to become a nurse?" Because if the answer is dependent on how much time off you'll have for other fun, I...

    Has Nursing hardened you?

    RNsRWe replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I realize that as a nursing student, you'd be asking the question of nurses, I was just "thinking out loud" in that people do not ask this of other professionals. Most likely due to that very...

    First-time DUI applying to nursing school in Fall 2012

    RNsRWe replied to erik88's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think the hope you're looking for had better come from your lawyer. Before worrying about whether or not the CA BON will issue you a license, whether or not you can get into schools, etc, you need...

    Has Nursing hardened you?

    RNsRWe replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder why people don't pose the question to lawyers about how too much time in the field hardened their hearts? Or to doctors....or dentists.....or engineers....or accountants? Seems to me, a...

    Great moments in bad judgement

    Endoscopy interview/no experience

    RNsRWe replied to ajeffs2's topic in Gastroenterology

    What is the position for which you are applying? If it's as a procedure room nurse (assisting the doc with the scoping), you don't have anything to bring to the table UNLESS you are able to convince...

    Is this fair? Honest opinions, please.

    RNsRWe replied to BC913's topic in General Students

    BC: I'm quite sure your Dean is well "aware of the situation among the students". He or she would have to be a special kind of clueless, in light of what appears to be quite an uproar (you did say...

    Is anyone else required to get STNA certification before beginning BSN?

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

    It's becoming more and more common. One reason, a big one, is that students get the feel for how to work with patients (proper turning, moving, cleaning, etc) without the school having to teach the...

    Can you put gloves on after tying tourniquet?

    RNsRWe replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    Could be the nurse was looking for a quiet way to tell you that for THAT patient, it'd be a good idea to put on gloves...scabies, etc would require contact iso, but if the patient hadn't yet gotten to...

    How many questions Did you get?

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

    This is being discussed on another thread, and it's downright silly. No nurse manager who is A&Ox3 is going to factor your answer to "how many NCLEX questions did you get?" into a hiring...

    Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    RNsRWe replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    Nope, not at all verifiable, even if it did make a difference to anyone hiring. Which is yet another reason why it's useless

    Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    RNsRWe replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    Well, the difference between 20 minutes and 34 is huge, nearly twice the time; I've seen people claim the same before now. While I'm not saying it's impossible for the test to be done successfully in...

    Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    RNsRWe replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    Ok, there's good test takers, and great test takers, but I'm struggling with this one. Are you saying that you took what you could expect to be the most important test of your career and spent only...

    Want to know what the number of questions you got means?

    RNsRWe posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It doesn't mean anything. It's irrelevant if you're wondering whether you passed or failed. Wish I could make this post on every thread that asks this question, but I guess I'll have to be satisfied...

    Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    RNsRWe replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    First, I think it's reasonable to assume that those who are in a position to hire new grads do understand how the NCLEX works. It's a bit insulting to suggest otherwise. And second, here's yet...

    Crap!

    RNsRWe replied to Creamsoda's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hoping the reason the OP hasn't been back on to post about this is because s/he's taken the thing back to work and got so excited at not getting into serious trouble that s/he's
