    RNsRWe replied to Randi012's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    RNsRWe replied to Randi012's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The reason we keep telling people to NOT do what you did (the PVT prior to 24 hours post exam) is because of the increasing numbers of people who ARE getting charged--or getting 'the bad pop up'...

    You will all probably hate me for this

    RNsRWe replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Sure. Just make sure it's not a breakaway one, only the kind that will enable a patient to completely choke

    Why become a Hospital PCT/PCA/CNA while in NS?

    RNsRWe replied to thocat1989's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I do not. About 10 years ago I took an interest in CAT (the system of testing the NCLEX utilizes) and have spent a fair amount of time reading on the topic. Plus after years of message posts on this...

    Patient Care Tech program online?

    RNsRWe replied to cknapp92's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a waste of money, as you can't be certified (CNA) without a hands-on course, and being passed on a skills test with direct observation of an instructor. Guess that's why they are using...
