    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Just a quick comment: the HR recruiters don't do background checks; the one you are working with does not either. They are submitted to another gov't agency, and they work on their own timetable....

    I think I failed!

    RNsRWe replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    rafi, along with your mailed notice of failure you should be receiving a CPR (Candidate Performance Report). This paper will tell you how you did in each domain of testing, each area will be listed...

    Consider This Before Paying For KAPLAN Or Any NCLEX Preparation "Course"

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

    Since no one I know has a magical crystal ball (would that we did!!) we really can't say how anyone would have fared on the NCLEX if he/she hadn't taken the course....or how he/she would have done if...

    I think I failed!

    RNsRWe replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks to Kel and Soprano; I had believed the OP said he HAD failed, and wondered why he didn't get more questions. Clearly was time for me to shut off the computer for the night! Thanks for...

    What to wear to fill our paperwork at new job?

    RNsRWe replied to Just_Kidney's topic in General Nursing

    You can NEVER go wrong with wearing neat slacks and a flattering blouse. Ever. Business casual all the way. Congrats on the job

    Did I PASS the NCLEX RN??

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

    What the heck, I'll share my own bit of neurosis with you two, LOL: I paid for Quick Results after my own exam, exactly 48 hours from my completion time (I checked at 47.5 hours, nothing....48: done)....

    I think I failed!

    RNsRWe replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, your exam stopped at 155. My we got off track! Sorry. You didn't get one more question because you were far enough below the line to not be able to convince the computer that you COULD meet the...

    75qs and scared...

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

    Hmm. Your description of registering/PVT seems like the usual process, I don't see anything UNusual in it. We already hit on the thing about doing it too early, but like I said--at 75 questions it's...

    75qs and scared...

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

    A popular misconception is that higher level questions will appear in a particular formatting type. They can be in ANY format type: SATA, multiple choice, drag/drop, etc. Something you just said...

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

    Oh, my....a lot wrong here. But I think I can help :) --- Your chances of passing are dictated by how well you prepared for the exam, your school's passing rate, what kind of student you were while...

    LPN credits to RN Completion

    RNsRWe replied to Rockstar81's topic in LPN to RN

    Because not all programs are created equal, and not all schools are willing to take another school's coursework as equivalent to their own. My college (RN program) did not award any credits for...

    I think I failed!

    RNsRWe replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok, just went to the Horse's Mouth, so to speak: NCSBN. This is exactly what it says on the site, regarding the "Maximum Length Rule": "When your ability is very close to the passing standard, the...

    I think I failed!

    RNsRWe replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'll have to take another look at that; in the past, NCSBN (the entity designing the exam in the first place) always stood at the standard of having XX number of categories and requiring a pass in...

    Wound Care NP

    RNsRWe replied to Asho2087's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am not an NP but maybe I can help a bit :) Before one can specialize, one has to complete the general education. For instance, a person may want to become a pediatric RN, but one does not go to...

    75 questions.. Worried

    RNsRWe replied to AB1212's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Another way of saying "above the passing standard level of questioning". One has to get these kinds of questions correct in order to pass the NCLEX; problem is NO ONE knows what is or is not a...

    Failed nclex, pls help me if you passed Nclex in 2015

    RNsRWe replied to ang1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the confusion you have is because the PVT, as you knew it at the time you did it for your PN, has changed. Starting in late August 2014, everyone has been directed to the CC page, whether or...

    Guy did a beautiful job of explaining this, thank you! There is just one thing, though....since one has to be above the passing standard in all domains of testing in order to pass the exam, the only...

    Congrats to both of you!! And now you can tell everyone who is sure that they failed the exam that they probably didn't, feeling awful is just part of the process

    RNsRWe replied to ang1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    love_nursing, you seem to be confusing a few things: the PVT is not something that is not available in California; it is only the fortune-telling side-effect of the online software registration...

    Test on July 15 2015 HELP

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

    If you are looking for "anyone" who feels the way you do, you can rest 100% assured that there are MANY in the same boat. For the really odd case of someone saying that they were calm, not nervous,...

    Decisions Decisions

    RNsRWe replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Clash? I don't think moreso than any other multi-disciplinary patient situations, really. If there's an RT who does or doesn't do something that is needed according to the RN responsible for the...

    days off- a rant

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    Forgot to mention that when I worked nights I kept the ringer off on my bedroom phone, and the answering machine in a far-point area of the house so that I would not be woken up by the ringing. That...

    does the PVT still work?

    RNsRWe replied to Lab22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Dozens of threads and hundreds of posts address this....so yes, we've heard of it happening, and as recently as today...yesterday.....the day before. You might have passed. You might have failed....

    Finished with 265... Is that bad?

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

    The applicant has to be competent in all areas of testing; if they haven't demonstrated this by the last question, they will not pass. The last question being above passing standard is great if they...
