    It's not my job to pray with you.

    Not a Trinity, per se, that have each as part of a whole? Learn something new every day, which is why I like this board :) I remember someone (who was Born Again? Fundamentalist?) saying that...

    Failed NCLEX RN 4 times

    The exam difficulty increases by miniscule amounts, and only every three years. If you feel the exam is becoming more difficult, that should alert you to the fact that you are struggling with the...
  7. Let's try this again :) The NCLEX is a national exam, and is the same test no matter where in the United States you are sitting at the time you take it. HOWEVER, the State that authorizes you to take...
  8. As you've seen, the answer to this question is "yes", "no" and "maybe" depending on where you are located and your standing in the program. At one time, my State allowed RN students in good standing...

    How Physically Demanding is Your Job

    LOL, if you replace the word "dogs" with "patients", you just described my med-surg floor experience! There are avenues in nursing that of course are less physically demanding; you should expect to...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    Thanks for delving in; I didn't realize there WAS a division on that topic. I got my info from a friend who is a practicing Muslim (yes, LOL, Jews and Muslims CAN be friends!!). She was pretty clear...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    Sort of.... :) Muslims believe Jesus to be a prophet, but not so strongly aligned with Christianity's beliefs about divinity. They do not believe him to be the literal "son of G-d"; they go with the...

    Special Snowflake!

    It's because you're old. Very, very old, and senile. And old. Did I forget senile....? LOL....

    Interested in Nursing

    Honestly? You give many excuses as to why you haven't done well, cannot do well, and why you might fail. You offer no reasons for actually wanting to become a nurse. I have to wonder why that is....

    Help!

    Weeellll.....there's a lot of questions there, but I'll offer my thoughts, since you asked. What challenges would you face? I'd expect that getting through a nursing program might be a big one, since...

    License Posted?

    I forgot this piece! Thanks for the reminder. I remember a recent post from someone who was annoyed that he hadn't yet received a license number, that his application was still being reviewed. He...
  19. Thank you for the article. I have had nurses think me insane because I do not carry nursing liability/malpractice insurance. I did for just a short time, when I worked for an employer who I didn't...

    License Posted?

    The ridiculous part is that all Boards of Nursing get their results from Pearson Vue electronically, IOW, a maximum of 24 hours after the test is done (whenever it's finalized, but definitely by 24...

    NCLEX pn/RN

    She is very wrong. If she actually graduated from a BSN program, it astounds me that she could have missed this most fundamental piece of information: she needs to pass the licensing exam for an RN....

    ADN vs. BSN

    Sorry to hear about the poor quality of your school. Did you not know these numbers when you enrolled? Or was it a recent downturn? At this point, all you can do is prepare yourself as best you can....

    ADN vs. BSN

    Eh, I'm one of those stats lovers, LOL, but don't pay any mind to this one. It's simply too variable, quarter by quarter, to have any value. Heck, the first quarter stats for 2015 had diploma programs...

    Please help. Did I pass my NCLEX-RN?

    Congrats! And congratulations on not getting charged ....seriously, ten minutes is all you waited, when TWO sets of scores take upwards of 24 hours? You didn't wait for your score to be finalized so...
