    Help! I have to precept a new grad who already knows it all....but not really.

    RNsRWe replied to GOMER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, tough spot. I wonder if we'll soon be seeing a post from a new RN who is being precepted by someone who just doesn't understand how valuable she is? I guess my advice would be to schedule a...

    Lvn RN the same as BSN RN??

    RNsRWe replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Certainly you must be aware that an Associate degree IS a college degree......right? Kinda like saying a MSN nurse has a college degree, as opposed to a

    RNsRWe replied to jeremyRN's topic in Government, Military

    ok, convoluted is an understatement! What a mess. Sorry I can't be more helpful; no doubt someone else here has a better clue. Does seem to me that if you're gone for 8 hours, you get 8 hours of...

    Is it possible to become a RN but work part time from the start. Get Air Force commission?

    RNsRWe replied to Chadmasters's topic in Government, Military

    OP, this was moved to the forum it's in because even if you don't realize it...you ARE asking about military nursing, and that's what people have been responding to. I have to say that your plan lays...

    VA 72/80 schedule

    RNsRWe replied to jeremyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Not sure what you mean by "how does AL and SL work when you take leave"...? You accrue 8 hours of vacation pay (AL) every pay period; you accrue 4 hours of SL for the same period. Doesn't matter if...

    Will green skin hurt my career?

    RNsRWe replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Would the same work if I can convince myself I'm Heidi Klum?! Maybe if I squeeze my eyes tight shut and wish real hard, LOL....SHE could pull off green skin

    RNsRWe replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Jules, I'm glad you're voicing this concern because you ARE a NP. When I've voiced it, it's been insinuated that I'm really just jealous of those with "more advanced nursing education". I put that...

    Yeah.....that's it....*I* don't know how to do it right... you have cleverly found me out. For those who AREN'T being a smarta$$, it's worth saying that putting in the wrong expiration date, or a...

    Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

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

    Most people who pay HAVE failed the test. It's a much smaller group that pay the fee and then find out they passed. And like JustBeachy said, getting to the credit card screen now doesn't have the...

    Low GPA Accelerated Nursing Programs

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

    Worth keeping in mind that the minimum GPA that schools post is usually not the one for which they accept students. Meaning that competition to get into a limited number of seats usually leaves those...

    Good luck! But please stop doing the PVT; at this point all you will accomplish is the increased likelihood that PV will take your funds whether you passed or not. If you keep offering it....don't be...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, I see. You'd see the similarities immediately, then, if it's all in the local news. But like I had posted to her (under the other name) I don't really see the point of railing about the AZ BoN...

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

    Off the top of my head, I can't recall someone who was unable to pay a fee (or PV didn't take their payment) when doing the PVT AFTER 24 hours finding out that they had failed. The OPPOSITE is...

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

    Yes it's happened. Either you paid for a new test because only your first scoring had been done (and it was a fail) or even though the first score was passing you were simply one of the 'test'...

    Do patients know a "good nurse"?

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

    Do I think that most patients recognize a good nurse from a poor one? I think that's the case in many instances. Not sure if I'd say "most", but I'd definitely say that frequently they don't know...
