    VA Nurse Salary

    RNsRWe replied to kclindsay's topic in Government, Military

    Your VA and mine sound similar in that they just DON'T want to promote via waiver, kinda no matter WHAT kind of nurse and WHAT kind of great things they have done. Makes them "valuable" but not...

    VA Nurse Salary

    RNsRWe replied to kclindsay's topic in Government, Military

    Yikes! Sounds like a recipe for disaster, that's too bad to hear Regarding VA and it's "grading" system, who knows, maybe one day they'll catch on and change the way it's done. Then again, this is...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    VA won't care what time you took off between leaving your current job and starting there, not in the least. Why would they? Typically, you should expect to start on a Monday morning; plan on M-F...

    VA Nurse Salary

    RNsRWe replied to kclindsay's topic in Government, Military

    Sounds like your facility definitely does what it can to work with the current restrictions for BSN/NurseII. I wish mine did! No one hired at Nurse I strictly because he/she possessed an ADN is ever...

    VA Nurse Salary

    LOL, when I wrote "(ok, there's another way, but way too long to post!)", this is what I meant! :) Yeah, I know about education waivers, but honestly they seem to be given out like they were the Holy...

    graduate 2009, wanted to take NCLEX RN. Dont know which state i am eligible. pls help :(

    RNsRWe replied to riynlyngale's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's worth mentioning that it's become increasingly common to see BSN graduates of schools in the Phillipines being asked to take additional courses; the BSN there and here are not equivalent,...

    VA Nurse Salary

    RNsRWe replied to kclindsay's topic in Government, Military

    It's my understanding that one can only become a Nurse II if one has a BSN (ok, there's another way, but way too long to post!); ADNs with a billion years of quality experience are Nurse I, BUT can be...

    I think I failed Nclex in 75 questions

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

    Congrats to those posting of their recent NCLEX success. Quite a feeling, isn't it? FWIW, I have posted before now that I walked out of that testing center, got into my car, and just started crying....

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

    Not sure where you got this number from; the computer will shut off when it has a 95% certainty that the candidate has passed the standard requirement. Not 80% at any given time.....and that can be a...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    RNsRWe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Oh, she had the option of telling the truth, like most people would do, and say "I'm an LVN" or "I'm a Practical Nurse" or "I'm a Licensed Practical Nurse" or even, as you suggested, "I'm a Nurse"....

    Changing NCLEX in March 2016?

    RNsRWe replied to virgo7598's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe you're referring to the change made EVERY three years; since the last one was March of 2013, the next would be March 2016. The study materials don't change. The subject matter doesn't...

    Stuck with nursing... Easy CA schools to get into?

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

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you feel you are "stuck with nursing" because you have some pre-requisite courses completed? Courses which CAN be applied to other majors that might hold some...

    VA Nurse Salary

    RNsRWe replied to kclindsay's topic in Government, Military

    Guess this would be an excellent example of "This is how VA works....except when it doesn't"! At my facility, the steps for a new hire are determined based on what the hire is earning (financially)...

    Are Nurses First Responders?

    RNsRWe replied to ScrubADub12's topic in General Nursing

    Took the words right out of my mouth (fingers?)! OP, you entered a contest for First Responders, became a finalist...and THEN asked if you were eligible? And to make it a bit weirder.....you...

    RNsRWe replied to claire43's topic in General Students

    Can't speak for the experiences at all VAMCs as you will find that there is a wide variance among them in terms of "how it is". I can tell you that at mine, admission is very competitive because of...
