    Ran out of time nclex pn! Help!!!!

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

    I have, it's been reported here a number of times, and always by people who did not follow the PVT instructions on this site. Doing it too early is typically the problem; not waiting until TWO sets...

    Adoption

    RNsRWe replied to KcDawn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Then you should have SAID that, not posed the question as though you had experienced something YOU wanted to discuss further, for discussion's sake. Want to know my feelings? I feel not only misled,...

    Adoption

    RNsRWe replied to KcDawn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would suggest that since your concern has absolutely nothing to do with nursing, but rather legislation, perhaps your questions are best handled on a political forum. As it stands, the laws are...

    A Response from the OP on the issue (poor choice of words) on the concept of a ADN Vs. BSN

    RNsRWe replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    I'm trying to reconcile the fact that the first paragraph and the final line in all caps was from the same person, in the same post.

    RNsRWe replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Bingo. There was a time when people believed what was in the newspaper ALL the time, because, well...it was PRINTED right there in the NEWSPAPER! And certainly "they" couldn't print anything untrue,...

    Every other weekend & holidays??

    RNsRWe replied to LuciaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, there seems to be a slew of nursing students who believe because there is a "nursing shortage" they will be able to find jobs without any difficulty, and therefore finding the Dream...

    Trying to Pass Nclex RN after 4 yrs

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

    Refresher courses are for licensed nurses who are re-entering the work force. You are looking for a review course, an NCLEX prep course, of which there are many. Much depends on how you did the first...

    Did PVT trick, But boards said the haven't reviewed my test

    RNsRWe replied to Cartier2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Based on what you wrote, the likelihood is that you failed, but it's absolutely not a given. You might have failed and that is why you were prompted to put in valid info; you might have passed and...

    Pearson vue trick

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

    Silverdragon is correct. You can go to the BreEZe website; it's a consumer affairs site that posts licensing information and many California applicants find out their license numbers from the BreEZe...

    Ran out of time nclex pn! Help!!!!

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

    Repeating the PVT does not result in more accurate or valid guesses, it only increases the chance that you will really be charged. In your case, you already WERE charged, so the PVT is no longer an...

    SHORTAGE OF NURSES

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

    It's the one area of employment with VA that points don't matter; the thinking (I believe) is that while giving an advantage to someone who has military points in most departments is perfectly fine,...

    RNsRWe replied to Cartier2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The Board of Nursing for your State does not review the tests at all, never. They only receive the results from Pearson Vue, the agency that administers the exam. If your BoN said they "haven't...

    Is this actually a HIPAA violation?

    RNsRWe replied to Anonymous6578's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Agreed. It's just such a ridiculous situation in the first place! If Administration wants to cite a HIPAA violation as a reason to oust a student(s), then there ought to have BEEN a HIPAA violation....

    Is this acceptable?

    RNsRWe replied to betweenus64's topic in General Nursing

    There is no license requirement of any kind in order to give injections. We teach family members to do it all the time for their "patients" at home, don't we? Drugstores now have their staff go...

    is this expensive for a BSN?

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

    Not bad. I'd be willing to guess that the 90% is figured from several years ago when they were NOT doing so well in pass rates (factoring in the last few graduating classes at 100%). Overall, looks...
