    I thought bones were hard

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

    As a light side note, I read the title of this thread and thought "and did you find them to be soft instead??"

    Board of nursing discipline

    RNsRWe replied to kuippo's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I need a secret decoder ring for the above. OP, it is crystal clear you have had some unpleasant run-ins with your own BoN, as evidenced by the fact that EVERY POST you have made since joining in...

    can i drop bsn school and get aas for now

    RNsRWe replied to iluvpink29's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not sure everyone heard the sound, it was kinda quiet, but it was the sound of a door slapping shut as the OP left the building. And hasn't been back

    Get off the phone

    RNsRWe replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    "Excuse me, Miss Smith? I have medications for you, and think you'll want /need a few minutes before I go...." Then stand there. Not really a problem; you're politely interrupting to tell them that...

    What are the benefits of landing a GN program position if your already licensed?

    RNsRWe replied to LoveaNurse5512's topic in General Students

    Maybe I'm missing something, because the way I'm reading it, you'd be fairly NUTS to give up a spot in a new grad program (where you can get orientation designed specifically for the new nurse)....

    Pearsonvue trick nclex-pn

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

    The odds are in your favor; somewhere around 90% of all first-timers at the NCLEX do pass it. As for the rest, I personally wish I could THROTTLE whoever it was at your school that fed you a bunch...

    ADN Jobs in NY

    RNsRWe replied to ChrisB718's topic in General Nursing

    New York is a pretty big State and there's a great difference between the metro areas and the rural ones when it comes to available positions and wages. Much will depend on WHERE, specifically, you...

    Don't Want To Touch Patients!

    RNsRWe replied to ThinBabe's topic in General Nursing

    My very special, custom made Nursing Care Mitts would have an antibacterial lining, and outer Teflon coating...... as well as being fomite-resistant. Can't be too

    What are the benefits of landing a GN program position if your already licensed?

    RNsRWe replied to LoveaNurse5512's topic in General Students

    Much will depend on what the eligibility requirements for that program is. If by GN you really mean "new grad", then having a license is irrelevant. Hard to picture a program designed exclusively...

    Thanks for the support and opposition

    RNsRWe replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    New Member: "Can someone plz explain this to me?" me: Sure, but I just wrote a very clear, very easy-to-follow one, if you just scroll back a bit to find it. New member: "Why you being so rude? Why...

    Would you have called out?

    RNsRWe replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    newboy, I'm sure by now you get the gist: don't call out for a shift for which you were previously denied the time off, period. Short of your own hospitalization, of course Family and friends...

    Almost Graduate: NCLEX

    RNsRWe replied to tutter525's topic in General Nursing

    In some States you can apply for an interim permit; it will expire either when you take the NCLEX or on a pre-specified date, whichever comes first. If you pass NCLEX, you get a license. If you...

    NCLEX results status Pending

    RNsRWe replied to jewgirl13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Of course. People pass, people fail, tests that are flagged and placed on 'hold' status aren't any more likely to result in a failing or passing than those tests that are NOT flagged. You might have...

    Thread spinoff: denied time off and vacation approval notice

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Absurd. If I were them, I'd make sure that the staffing office knew I'd be available to be called in, but only at the Premium Pay, Bonus Rate, etc. :) Make 'em pay for this

    Can I still be an RN if I was in a Mental Hospital?

    RNsRWe replied to pediatricnurse2016's topic in General Students

    Interesting thread, with good info. Only thing I can add, OP, is that you DO need to change your username now (unless you are a licensed RN or LPN/LVN you CANNOT call yourself a pediatric nurse in...

    Likelihood of a new grad getting an ER job?

    RNsRWe replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Nursing

    OP.....I'm going to go a little differently on the "you're jumping the gun" theme: If I've read your messages correctly, you still have another five months before you even START nursing school. Then...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RNsRWe replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    ...and yet posts here as a charge nurse in a SNF who does little other than play Candy Crush all night, with lots of suggestions on how other nurses can avoid doing much of anything, either. Odd....

    NCLEX experience March 2015

    RNsRWe replied to JerseyNurse3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! BTW, anyone who understands how this test works (CAT) will know that the number of SATA questions one gets means nothing. They can be higher level OR lower level questions. They can be...

    Pearson says... Pearson vue trick not accurate

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

    You posted this on a long outdated thread, obsolete. Please read through any of the dozens--hundreds--of current posts on the topic. You will find the information you seek easily if you just

    Second career nurses: what if you ended up not liking nursing?

    RNsRWe replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    Yer killin' me. I DO think we understand, and you actually already asked this VERY SAME QUESTION in yet another thread: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/fear-of-failing-978024.html....

    Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

    RNsRWe replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Well, "LPN with an Attitude", perhaps it was YOUR attitude that landed you in all these messes? I find that whenever someone has difficulty with pretty much everyone.....it's not everyone else that...

    RNsRWe replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Nursing

    MUCH faster than everyone typing, lol, is to have you go to the Specialties tab in the yellow banner at the top of the page, and scroll down a VERY comprehensive listing of all the specialties you can...

    Shut off at 210 on Nclex-RN

    RNsRWe replied to hdnguy03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PVT I put cautious optimism on, but if you paid the fee for the Quick Results and it says you passed...you passed!

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

    Either you are misunderstanding how this test works, or we are misunderstanding your question. All areas of knowledge are on your test, and you must pass each and every area in order to pass the...
