    Tricks For Putting in Foleys in Males Whose Member Have Disappeared

    RNsRWe replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    Once had a fella describe it to me as "a broomstick coated in shards of glass shoved up..." Glad it wasn't me who had done it.....but he said it was like that every time, no matter who did it. Just...

    Tricks For Putting in Foleys in Males Whose Member Have Disappeared

    RNsRWe replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    Just an aside, but I both grimaced and laughed at this description, and thought "wonder how many fellas reading this are groaning and reaching to protectively cover their pants about

    Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    RNsRWe replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    My knee-jerk reaction is your instructor is an idiot. Is this her way of telling you that she was an awful student, but a wonderful nurse? Or that she was a wonderful student, but is an awful nurse?...

    RNsRWe replied to tiburonster111's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, I tend to go with "if it's been 24 hours, it is what it is". Because so far, whatever the result is after 24 hours stays the result, it doesn't flip to the opposite result later. You're...

    How is NCLEX scored 2 times?

    RNsRWe replied to Tonks57's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is a quality control measure, nothing more, nothing less. The first score is instant, which is how your exam shut off when it did. It had determined to a 95% certainty at that point that you had...

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing I'd be all negativity-and-stuff if I answered someone posting "am I too stupid to be a nurse?" with "you certainly are if you think asking a message board if you're too stupid to be a...

    Passed at 265 Qs and PVT works!

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

    congrats! But honestly, I really wish you hadn't posted that you did the PVT only six hours after finishing the exam.....you are telling people that you were willing to throw away $200, which is...

    RNsRWe replied to tiburonster111's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    People here have reported learning their results anywhere from two to six weeks; if any were longer or shorter than that I haven't read of them. Most people keep checking the BoN website and find...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RNsRWe replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yikes! He was right about the night/day thing only in that you will have to encompass the entire job of the CNA into your job as an RN. The RN responsibilities will all be there....and on top of it,...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RNsRWe replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would guess that if your professors are not unique in their approach to what floor nursing is, if there is a contingent of professors who say this as well, that would help explain the anger and...

    Just finished the test

    RNsRWe replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you're in a State that participates in Quick Results, you can get them 48 hours after your test has been completed. You can also try looking on your State's BoN website; some update so fast they...

    RNsRWe replied to lmm83's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have no doubt your school is preparing you for your exam, and never said otherwise. It's nice you are doing well....congrats....but again, I never suggested otherwise. I also did not, in the...

    RNsRWe replied to ChrisB718's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, as clinical assignments should be expected to be during the week. Sometimes you can luck into a program that will permit you AM clinicals, or PM ones (if the stars align and you get into the...

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

    No advice, really, other than to post future NCLEX-related questions on the NCLEX Discussion forum instead of General Nursing so you'd get more responses :) People have passed and failed with every...

    Waiting for Test Results?

    RNsRWe replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nope, no email, only snail mail :) I passed the waiting time by cleaning: seriously, I find it very cathartic to throw some weight behind a scrubbie and some hot water and cleaning suds! My kitchen...

    RNsRWe replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nah, you got what you got because the computer had determined to a 95% certainty that you either passed or you didn't. Think of it this way: given the likelihood of first-time testers passing, and...

    NCLEX after 9 years

    RNsRWe replied to lmm83's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    With all due respect, perhaps after you have tried your hand at the NCLEX once, you might realize why this is insufficient advice. As of now, you're still a student, correct? So....you cannot know...

    NCLEX after 9 years

    RNsRWe replied to lmm83's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, giving realistic feedback about her chances at this exam isn't "career advice" so much as it is offering ways to get to become a viable candidate for NCLEX. I didn't offer her advice on a...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RNsRWe replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm with you on your comments that people never really do know what it's like to do a job until they actually DO the job. Agreement. But then you went in a direction that I think tells me why you...

    Just finished the test

    RNsRWe replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your question is puzzling: since you knew the test had a minimum number of questions, that being 85, you also knew there was a maximum number of questions (205). What made you think that getting 90...

    RNsRWe replied to lmm83's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In my opinion, OP, you are asking the wrong questions. You shouldn't be wondering which States will allow you to take an exam that others will not. You should be asking what you need to do to ensure...
