    Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    RNsRWe replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hear ya! I think my most difficult patients, when I worked med-surge that is, HAD to be males in their early 20's....followed fairly closely by females of the same age bracket, right up until about...

    Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    RNsRWe replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ha! I think it's safe to say that whenever we speak in generalities, someone is bound to feel that the description doesn't fit. And while sometimes that non-fit makes it offensive..sometimes it's...

    Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    RNsRWe replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    After reading each post in this thread, I have learned..... --Under-educated whites and over-educated whites are the best/worst patients. --Under-educated non-whites and over-educated non-whites are...

    GUM! Can you chew it on shift?

    RNsRWe replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I stumbled across this thread, and couldn't IMAGINE what anyone could possibly say about GUM for 160+ posts!! So I skipped to the last few pages, chuckled....and can now move on :) I guess if anyone...

    Re-Hireable?

    RNsRWe replied to Carefor82's topic in General Nursing

    Of course the policy is going to vary from facility to facility; you certainly don't think there's a National Do Not Hire Registry, right? So....it depends what the facility decides as to what they...

    Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    RNsRWe replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    FWIW, I think the point being made regarding the bar exam was NOT to compare the difficulty of the exams to each other (and I don't know that California is even on the table...?). I believe the point...

    Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    RNsRWe replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll throw out an observation I've made that isn't race or ethnicity-related, but does also make note of a different impression made by a specific population. I work with our country's military...

    Hi, karrikon....the OP hasn't posted since January, so not likely to respond, but maybe I can help. Typically, VERY typically, interviews are by telephone. They don't expect you to travel to a...

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

    Ok, re-read the post, didn't see anything saying you'd been studying since you failed, but that isn't important, really. A month, if you are asking...and you ARE asking....doesn't seem to be enough...

    Passed the NCLEX & I was a B student

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

    Congrats, and welcome to the fold :) The big thing to keep in mind when people are ready to face the NCLEX is that it is a minimum competency exam ONLY. It doesn't determine proficiency in anything,...

    Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    RNsRWe replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Weekends are irrelevant. It's a computerized system. Holds DO usually take somewhere between 24 and 72 hours....they can take longer. Two people in recent memory had to wait a week. Just how it...

    Well...you've given yourself only two weeks to prepare after you failed your first attempt? It's not much time even if you were doing a concerted effort with a strong study plan....and it doesn't...

    RNsRWe replied to nurse pocahontas's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I called no one any names...not one. I described YOU as rude, which is true. Doesn't make it "name calling", it makes it an appropriate adjective. Carry on if you must, but this has grown tiresome....

    RNsRWe replied to Nursesmom15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It looks to me like you are attempting to register for the NCLEX-RN, and do not qualify, as your education is for a PN. If you took the NCLEX already, you cannot register for a new exam until you...

    Pearson Vue Trick as of August 2015

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

    Exactly. All we can do is educate. I think the idea that it's no biggie to use a valid card as long as there is only a few bucks on it is harmful to those who then get the "card declined" pop up....
