    JUST took the NCLEX, good pop up at 75 questions..

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

    Ah, yes, I do understand. However, there have been more frequent incidences of 'test' charges being made by Pearson Vue; someone who passes the exam but enters their card info might still get the...

    Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

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

    Congrats on passing! But why would you risk losing $200 by doing the PVT WAAAYYY too early? Doing it again at 24 hours only increased the chance that you'd lose that

    Nurses have an Attitude Problem

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

    I followed that back and found that I had responded to her queries then (being helpful and NOT rude, lol....). She's obviously unhappy in her coursework, and my advice was to stop, then, and reassess...

    Nurses have an Attitude Problem

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

    Or, react appropriately to the onslaught. Out of curiosity, if a student were to go to the CNA message board and announce, rather nastily, that all CNAs were mean, catty, cliquish, know-it-alls, full...

    Quit great job to stay home with baby?

    RNsRWe replied to Sangrita RN's topic in Nursing Career

    Someone once told me that no one on his/her deathbed ever uttered the words "I very much regret that I didn't spend more time at work". Your baby isn't going to remain a baby, as you clearly know....

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

    The number of questions you got in any format is irrelevant. SATA questions, while universally disliked, are not indicative of higher or lower level questions, they are merely questions. Same with...

    Easter/Passover

    RNsRWe replied to macenroe's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I always enjoy hearing about churches that conduct Passover seders in the Judaic custom. NOT so enjoyable when I hear about some pretty twisty versions that aren't so much the story of Exodus as...

    RNsRWe replied to macenroe's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    There was a brief moment when I thought about transitioning my non-kosher kitchen into a kosher one. Fleeting, LOL, as I remembered that one of my kids would never give up cheeseburgers on the grill,...

    Personalized ID Badge holders!

    RNsRWe replied to Christinajoannne's topic in General Students

    I was thinking the same thing. In my student days it was disallowed, and students in my facility use standard, approved stuff,nothing "original" If the program allows it, I say do whatever you like...

    Legal responsibility to perform CPR?

    RNsRWe replied to smellslikesarah's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunate thing the Eye Rollers were people who really should have known better, but the one from the ED felt he was "too busy" to be taken away from watching his one patient (there were staff to...

    Legal responsibility to perform CPR?

    RNsRWe replied to smellslikesarah's topic in General Nursing

    I've had CNAs hit the Code Blue button on the wall near the patient to get us there pronto, no one had to leave anyone. Same with someone "waltzing by" (lol at the imagery!): they can do the same...

    does anyone use a medical prestige stethoscope?

    RNsRWe replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    My first was a Prestige, but it was just too heavy, and had dual lumens (don't know if they still do?) so it wasn't the best for clear audio, although it wasn't bad. Also, had the fun of the stupid...

    Legal responsibility to perform CPR?

    RNsRWe replied to smellslikesarah's topic in General Nursing

    Well....BLS certified IS CPR certified, they aren't two different things. If you have a BLS card, you have been taught (successfully) to perform CPR. However, as already mentioned, you are running to...

    Mavrick, I was also thinking the OTHER side of the "I wanna go into ___" is ED/ICU. Seems like every male student wants to be a Trauma King, as well as enough of the women to make me realize...
