    Random Valuable NCLEX Facts :)

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

    Not sure why you needed to post it either, lol, as whether you say "one score checked twice" or "scored twice", it's really the same thing, isn't it? Since upon "checking" or "rescoring" a different...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    RNsRWe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    The family that scams and cheats others, the family that publicly flaunts the "loot" they obtained from said cheating and scamming, the family that profits off of a dead child, the family that ignores...

    Might I suggest popping Julie & Julia or No Reservations in the DVD player, having another marguarita, and considering that

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm misreading RNperdiem, but the way I'm reading it you two are in agreement regarding unions and how they might affect today's employees as relates to seniority issues. She said that fewer...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I worked somewhere that had a policy allowing those with 25 years' service to opt out of weekends, OR opt out of floats. Some chose the former, some the latter. There were never so many that were...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Bingo. I probably should have said that the q2week NEO is always coordinated with pay weeks. Your EOD date will be the day before (Sunday) as all PPs are Sun-Sat. Good

    Are Nurses First Responders?

    RNsRWe replied to ScrubADub12's topic in General Nursing

    Which is exactly WHY you are a first responder, no questions asked. Probably more qualified than many of those who consider themselves as FRs. Somehow I can't see you staying at a

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

    It's never 100%. However, after 24 hours has passed since you left the testing center, the result you get at that time is the result you will stick with. While it can and does sometimes change...

    Family member hurt my somewhat fragile new grad confidence

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

    Huh, not familiar with that dx. Anyway, as many have already said, I believe this has very little to do with you, and much to do with her. I also share the opinion of those who believe you dodged a...

    CNA Boards

    RNsRWe replied to uhleash's topic in General Nursing

    Some States do offer licensing. While "boards" is probably an overstatement, a candidate for certification must pass a competency exam

    I wrote out this long thing on another thread, so don't want to do it again, LOL, but I can attest to being someone who passed with the minimum yes STILL had no clue how I could have passed. I chose...

    Passed with 122 questions on second try!! Read me!

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

    I realize that this seems like semantics to you, but it really isn't. See, in most States, the use of the word "nurse" is a protected legal title reserved for RNs or LPN/LVNs. Hey, there's even one...

    Are Nurses First Responders?

    RNsRWe replied to ScrubADub12's topic in General Nursing

    Ah yes, and I have no doubt you are....but you do not work at a desk doing Informatics, no patient contact for the past few years or anytime in the forseeable future, as does the

    RNsRWe replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I couldn't disagree with this more than I do now. My signature on the bottom of a statement indicates I believe the statements to be true and I stand behind them. How is this "not about honesty or...

    RNsRWe replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Family is for vouching for someone whom no one else will? Even if this were to be true (and I don't believe it to be), how do you vouch for someone you DON'T KNOW? The OP said the person asking was...

    Are Nurses First Responders?

    RNsRWe replied to ScrubADub12's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I read the thread with interest, as I honestly did not know where the dividing line was, but as an RN who works in a hospital I do not consider myself a "First Responder". In the course of...

    Is it easy to get hired in a hospital if you work there as a transporter?

    RNsRWe replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in General Students

    Where I work, no. Being a CNA would help, as you would be known to the nursing staff and could get recommendations if your work was good. Transport?

    Important Grades?

    RNsRWe replied to Telly67's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't done the math, but I'm wondering just how many courses with 'A' grades would be required to raise one's GPA from 1.79 to something that a nursing school would even GLANCE at: 3.7 or greater?...

    Weird situation. I was once asked by a friend if I could please complete a 'recommendation form' for her son. He was applying for a job that asked for the listed references to write answers on their...

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    This just made me crack up. I particularly love when Netflix chooses a movie for me "based on my reviews". Ok, so you thought that based on my having seen/reviewed Pride and Prejudice (with Keira...

    I will, thanks. I was told it was a bonus only, so went with that. Guess I'll find out when I get to the point of looking into
