    Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    RNsRWe replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    I'm telling you, it's those darned slow-firing synapses! THAT'S why you're oblivious and should retire RIGHT.NOW.....before you kill someone....

    is this expensive for a BSN?

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

    100% NCLEX pass rate?! I didn't think such an animal existed....unless you're talking about ONE year, in which nobody managed to fail the thing You've described an economical and well-considered...

    Take the nclex exam in GA Georgia, but i am in Florida 2015

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

    My first thought is that you need to change your UserID pronto: using RN, LPN or Nurse in one's username without having earned the designation is against the TOS of this website, as well as illegal in...

    SHORTAGE OF NURSES

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

    ...and I could have saved myself the typing, LOL, except that maybe additional confirmation might be in order here :) While it's true that each VA has considerable leeway when it comes to...

    SHORTAGE OF NURSES

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

    First statement is about right, second....not so much. Medical/Nursing professionals (aka Title 38 employees, MD/RN/NP/PA) are on a level playing field with Veterans; best candidate gets the job, not...

    How to Recruit talented nurses

    RNsRWe replied to IoraRecruiter's topic in General Nursing

    And with the bolded comment, you just scared off a bunch of potentials. If this is a tight-knit group ("like family") then it's a HUGE risk for someone to take to see if they will "fit" into the open...

    Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    RNsRWe replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not forget the ones who allude to older nurses having fewer synapses firing, therefore they were slow enough to not understand what the oh-so-amazing poster was

    "Bless Your Heart"

    RNsRWe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, how's this for timing: I just called a Southern business. Voicemail outgoing message, at the end it tells me to 'Have a Blessed Day'. I don't think I could reasonably assume they're telling off a...

    "Bless Your Heart"

    RNsRWe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Guess I'm in the "it depends" camp! I have a Southern-born-raised friend who will use "bless your heart!" when I'm telling her about something that was particularly trying, as though to say "you poor...

    NCLEX Before Graduation

    RNsRWe replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I think keeping it very simple is best: once you have been granted a degree, and ONLY once you have been granted a degree, are you a graduate of any college program. Date of ceremony is irrelevant....

    SHORTAGE OF NURSES

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

    I recently had a pre-nursing student tell me that all the books, magazines, say there is one...so I guess it MUST be true! Never mind that the books are going off of Dept of Labor statistics that are...

    Attention WEST COAST GRADS OR CURRENT STUDENTS

    RNsRWe replied to nurseB32's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, you've checked out the median wage for RNs in California; you must realize this factors in both experienced RNs who earn much higher than that, with new grads who earn much LOWER than that....

    SHORTAGE OF NURSES

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

    It seems that regardless of how many might retire, how many might "check out" while still employed, there will be thousands more licensed nurses than there are job openings. California has...

    Anxiety on NCLEX-RN results

    RNsRWe replied to DSVital_Asset1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you did the PVT prior to 24 hours from completion of your exam, it's possible you paid because the score at that time was a 'fail'. Meaning that it takes TWO scorings of your exam for a final...

    Well, we do know that it DOESN'T work 100% of the time as evidenced by the anomalies that have been posted. And yes, many many people have called PV about this; it's well-known that the PVT is a...

    Dilute Urine Question

    RNsRWe replied to michelledandersen's topic in General Nursing

    Simply put, if the specific gravity of your urine is WNL, you'll be fine. If not....they will request another sample. I've known of folks who have been told to come in at XX time to present the...
