    NCLEX RN PVT pending results...

    RNsRWe replied to nursekrs143's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nope. If that was an issue, when you did the PVT you would have seen a message telling you that your test was on "hold", and that another registration couldn't be made at that time. Which makes me...

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

    RNsRWe replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    I'm RIGHT there with ya. I would have to agree with the idea that most think everyone ELSE'S kids are spoiled, but surely not their own. Too close to the problem to see it and all. BUT (and that's...

    Took the NCLEX today

    RNsRWe replied to Lady Kathryn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good for you! A rational, reasonable response. Nice :) Now, about how to kill the next 48 hours: I can tell you that my home never sparkled quite so much before OR after that period of time! I...

    The new nclex

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

    Not new. What you've heard (or should have heard, but it probably got screwed up by the time it reached you!) is that the testing process is adjusted every three years. We're talking logits of...

    Took the NCLEX today

    RNsRWe replied to Lady Kathryn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First thought to share is to NOT do the PVT (if you feel you are about to break and MUST do it) until at least 24 hours have passed since you walked out of the testing center. Your exam is scored...

    Attention WEST COAST GRADS OR CURRENT STUDENTS

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

    While I personally have had no experiences (good or bad) with West Coast U, it is well-written about on AN that it is a GIANT rip-off. The price tag is astronomical, the education only average, and...

    Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    Yes. When I worked the floors, we had two such patients in from time to time. Both were anatomical males who self-identified as females; they were always placed in private rooms to avoid ANY...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RNsRWe replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You're welcome :) I was also thinking that while HH is a 1:1 situation, there aren't call bells going off, that doesn't mean there's less of a time pressure. You have to be in and out in a specified...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RNsRWe replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Oh yes, that one too. As in "I don't like to deal with hygiene issues" and someone will invariably tell them to go into Psych. As if a psych patient ISN'T EVER going to lob something delicious at...

    NCLEX RN PVT pending results...

    RNsRWe replied to nursekrs143's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First off, STOP doing the PVT! All you will accomplish at this point is the off-chance that you will get your payment accepted, which has NO relationship to your exam at this point. On rare...

    I recall a thread posted in which the OP (an LPN) stated she wasn't being paid what she was worth, she wanted the "flexibility" of being an RN but she had no intention of going back to school. She...

    NCLEX RN PVT pending results...

    RNsRWe replied to nursekrs143's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Remember that the "pop up" is only related to Pearson Vue's registration software, and has NO relationship with any State BoN. Getting the good pop up after 24 hours tells me you passed the exam (yay...

    NOt sure where you got this idea, but it isn't true. California is NOTORIOUSLY slow when it comes to issuing new licenses. The BreEze is a Consumer Affairs website and does post licenses, so many...

    Random Valuable NCLEX Facts :)

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

    Depends what information you are talking about. Much of the information, if not all of it, comes from the NCSBN website. People tend not to read it before posting questions here, so those of us who...

    Black Humour

    RNsRWe replied to Tenebrae's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think black humor (and the ability to appreciate) is as much a family trait as snorting when laughing or wiggling one's ears. My cousin, bless her, has been known to laugh unabashedly when watching...

    Opinions??

    RNsRWe replied to FutureNurse305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For one school, one program, an 86% might be great. For another one, you'd hope it was your lowest grade. Depends on the competitiveness of the program you are trying to get into. I have a nephew...

    Nclex Exam

    Seems to me this should be posted on the International Forum as it has to do with Visas and authorizations to test in the US, and isn't a question about the NCLEX

    What to do to request NCLEX pass report from NCSBN or Pearsonvue?

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

    Not sure what you mean by "pass report". If you pass the NCLEX (and your State BoN has no reason not to issue you a license) you will be given a license number. If you don't pass the NCLEX, you will...
