    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    RNsRWe replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    If I had a clue what "doing like camgirl stuff online" actually meant, maybe I could help :) Guessing it isn't illegal, as you are paying taxes....but if it's something that will violate a morals...

    Confused in Brooklyn

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

    Just jumping in quickly to mention that an ADN won't get you very far in NYC; probably nowhere, in fact. Competition for employment is HIGH, and therefore the facilities doing the hiring can afford...

    New Grad - Ain't he special!

    RNsRWe replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How he got hired is beyond me, but regardless, you need to have a chat with the nurse manager or DON asap....yesterday would be better, actually, if it were possible. He is not a team player. He...

    Always the Instructor's Fault......

    RNsRWe replied to MFaf's topic in General Students

    I do believe that there are poor instructors, just as there are poor students. For the most part, though, I do believe that an inordinate amount of blame is placed on the instructor. My viewpoint is...

    painless injection?

    RNsRWe replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    Katie just saved me some typing :) Not new, not breakthrough, not time-efficient and not likely to get used outside of Rice. I've found a great way to make shots less painful, though: get a nurse who...

    What makes a nursing contract binding & official?

    RNsRWe replied to Kit.Kat's topic in General Nursing

    Precisely. I had been scrolling down this thread, reading and thinking "there's NO POSSIBLE WAY" this can be enforced since the "enforcement" would mean you are obligated to work for them regardless...

    Regarding what is and is not appropriate conversation for a discussion on a public message board such as this one is not up to any one individual member to decide. This website encourages "lively...

    did the pvt trick

    I just responded to you on another thread. Take a look.

    Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

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

    You are definitely on the road to confusion, but let me see if I can help! The "PVT", or Pearson Vue Trick, is nothing more than a system of guesswork. The idea is that if the registration program...

    Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    RNsRWe replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Good food for thought, and I appreciate that you took the time to write it. Regarding the DUI....good question, and a reasonable analogy. My answer? I just don't know. I'd have to work that...

    Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    RNsRWe replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I really can't abide the idea that because she was a teen when she committed murder, she was functioning with "less than a fully developed brain". If my son at 15 did this, I sure wouldn't be...

    RNsRWe replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Forget about religious leanings, as this is NOT about forgiveness. It's about the safety of any human being in the dependant care of someone who has proven herself to hold a total disregard for...

    Has anyone taken the NCLEX in 2015?

    Completion time?

    RNsRWe replied to Nikpond's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's a question you will have to pose to the school itself. Generally speaking, certain courses are only offered at certain times, and in succession. Example would be Foundations being...

    RNsRWe replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Random thoughts: A professional license is a privilege, not a right. No one has the RIGHT to be a registered nurse. There are academic and personal standards that are expected to be met to hold such...

    Can an employer ask you what medications you are taking?

    RNsRWe replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it sure is legal. Regulations and legalities are always evolving; at this point there are even certain medications that will preclude employment in certain areas. Totally legal. A person may be...

    Ah, THANK you! Should have realized this. Still shouldn't need a new NCLEX, but rather complete the schooling for

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

    This wasn't easy to read, LOL, but if I am understanding you correcting...it still is isn't making sense. If you hold a Vermont RN licence, you can apply for an endorsement for any State you want....

    Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

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

    I said you did very poorly because the computer determined in only the minimum number of questions that you could not pass that test regardless of the number of questions it gave you. That is not an...

    Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

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

    Many, if not most States will find you ineligible to take the NCLEX-PN as you did not graduate from a school of practical nursing. Beyond that.....there is little to no reason to believe that since...

    Nclex PVT

    RNsRWe replied to paoloxxx2015's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You're welcome. BTW, "bombed" isn't the word I'd use even if you DID fail at 135 questions. "Bombed", to me, would be stopping at 85 and failing. And just like I wrote on the post before this...

    RNsRWe replied to paoloxxx2015's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    GAH! Please stop. Really. Because at some point the odds really are going to go against you, and Pearson Vue WILL attempt to take your money! And if you don't use a valid card number you'll still...

    Are you annoyed that you have not yet found a Dollar Store version of nursing school, or are you annoyed that no one has provided you with a satisfactory answer quickly enough? Regardless of which it...
