    Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

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

    Yet every now and then someone will snark at us that we're rude because we state the facts and don't go into much in the way of cheerleading (some people just WON'T pass the exam, sorry, but it's the...

    PTSD after losing a patient?

    RNsRWe replied to nurs2014's topic in General Nursing

    No big deal, honestly. Just stuck out at me because many of the people I see daily DO have diagnosed PTSD, and it can be completely debilitating. You, on the other hand, are a compassionate and...

    PTSD after losing a patient?

    RNsRWe replied to nurs2014's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the side-note clarification :) Much like a very active child should not be classified as ADHD simply because of the level of activity, a person experiencing normal anxiety or sadness...

    PTSD after losing a patient?

    RNsRWe replied to nurs2014's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely wouldn't go so far as to label this PTSD; the loss of your patient was upsetting, but not the caliber of a post traumatic stress disorder, a diagnosable condition. At any rate, it IS...

    Anyone Here Pay $200 Dollars Still Passed?

    RNsRWe replied to aldrich21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pearson Vue changed its registration software back in late August 2014. No longer will anyone see a "Delivery Successful" message. It is true that occasionally someone will be able to register...

    RNsRWe replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    While I absolutely agree with your sentiment, I've have never, not ever, not ONCE heard of anyone having to produce a transcript when applying for a job. Proof of degree? Yes. License number, and...

    In second year and don't feel skilled enough

    RNsRWe replied to Wantobeanurse12's topic in General Students

    To be perfectly honest, I'd be much more concerned if you announced that now that you're in your second year, you HAVE confidence in your newly-acquired skills! Those who feel the most confident...

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    RNsRWe replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    I've found a job where I talk to people on the phone, and in person...they can get a good look at me, but only with my clothes on (preferable for me AND them, I'd guess, lol). It's called nursing!

    You were supposed to wait. You did not so there isn't much to tell you. Either you failed on the first scoring or PV just opted to take the money you were offering. You don't know if you passed on the...

    Confused in Brooklyn

    RNsRWe replied to mbr3028's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think at this point you have whatever answers we can give you. Job market is very tight for new grads in NYC; without a BSN you aren't apt to find employment there. When you do find employment,...

    HURST REVIEW--Is it worth it?

    RNsRWe replied to m4howie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
