    Med-Surg when your teacher can't teach

    RNsRWe replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

    There's an old saying, "The devil is in the details". Meaning that success and failure can be found by paying attention to the little bits....you can get tripped up by missing small details. It...

    Pearson Vue Trick- Took my 200 :(

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

    There are no suggestions for you at this point. You jumped the gun very badly by offering Pearson Vue $200 only an hour or so after your test was concluded. Typically, when you are able to pay for...

    When you fail the NCLEX, does your nursing school contact you?

    RNsRWe replied to missind33's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Self-reported, typically. Why is your friend concerned that the school would contact her? Seems to me that if they are willing to offer remediation, tutoring, anything that could help her on a next...

    Need help

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

    What is it you are not understanding here? Pearson Vue proctors the exam. They only report the results to the State Boards of Nursing. THEY do not issue you a license. If you violate any rules...

    Nclex pn denial of application for licensure

    RNsRWe replied to mr.needhelp's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No. The NCLEX is designed to shut off once a candidate has reached a 95% Confidence Interval. This means that it does not stop until you have either demonstrated to a 95% certainty that you are...

    Bed Side Report

    RNsRWe replied to CLRE-LPN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked bedside, we tried this a few times over several years, always scrapping it and returning to traditional reporting methods (outside of the patient's hearing/viewing). Some of the reasons...

    Need help

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

    You might be interested in knowing that the hold placed on your exam results likely had nothing to do with reviewing any video. You took a 75 question test in 15 minutes, a VERY short period of time...

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

    This makes absolutely no sense. OP seems to have a language barrier in place which may be further confusing the issue. 1-If the exam is not completed (candidate is not permitted to finish) then they...

    Should I buy an NCLEX book before starting nursing school

    RNsRWe replied to czerwodl121's topic in General Students

    Short answer: NO. It really CAN be "too early to start" when it comes to NCLEX prep. After all, the point of the prep is to take the content you KNOW already and put it into practical use,...

    Med-Surg when your teacher can't teach

    RNsRWe replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

    Some schools are simply poor ones, and do not do well in preparing students to pass the NCLEX down the road. However, you said this was a very competitive school....seems to me, then, that there is a...

    Plan B!

    RNsRWe replied to Determined2017's topic in General Nursing

    Well, NOT having a Plan B doesn't mean you're NOT being smart, just that you have so little expectation for failing out of the program that spending time devising a new course of your life in such an...

    Failure was never an option. But I suppose if I HAD failed..."Plan B" would have been either getting back into school or staying a

    Charity School of Nursing Application for SP 2016

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

    I'm curious about something: you have been posting for four years now, and saying semester after semester that you have been denied admission to this school. Certainly you can see you aren't likely...

    Charged $200 By PVT now what?

    RNsRWe replied to akb0220's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you were charged twice for the same registration, you are owed a refund for one registration. If you paid for a registration and it turns out you passed (and shouldn't have created a duplicate...

    Virginia BON - did I pass NCLEX?

    RNsRWe replied to Katbell9's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Check Monday. Nothing else anyone tells you matters in the slightest, as no one can possibly know if you passed but have a license on hold for some reason (and it might not be issued)...if you failed...

    what's nclex test scheduled time like?

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

    You cannot schedule an exam without an ATT. Think about it: you need an authorization to test, so....once you get it, THEN you schedule an appointment. No ATT, no appointment. Scheduling depends on...

    If it was true that you were not expecting to be discharged from the position, or disciplined because of the incident, that's that. It's ONLY an issue if during your background check, the person you...

    RNsRWe replied to lta mangeshkar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So even though you were told that it's not an accurate means of finding out if you passed....even though you were told that you might still pay $200 if you passed because of how the registration...

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

    Your roommate has no idea what he or she is talking about. You might not need to hide your medical issues, but you aren't going to come out ahead by promoting them, either. It is NOT a 'plus' on...

    Not a single person responding to you indicated your question was stupid. Why would you think that? You received some VERY good information, and I do hope you read it and proceed accordingly. You...

    RNsRWe replied to FlossyRN's topic in General Nursing

    okaaaay......well. Thing is, graduating with honors and doing well in clinicals does not equate with being a team player, or a valuable employee. They may very well go together, but...sometimes not....

    RNsRWe replied to FlossyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, here's my thoughts: you described what is not unusual for many (most?) med-surg day shifts in most areas. It is not "normal", but it isn't flippin-out-crazy either. It happens. But teamwork...
