    Wear gloves during assessment?

    RNsRWe replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    This link is excellent, THANK you for posting it! It mentions that inappropriate use of gloves is not only wasteful of resources, but may contribute to ineffective hand hygiene as well. Someone had...

    Throwing a Wide Net in an Open Sea for Your First Nursing Job

    RNsRWe replied to SouthernizedRN's topic in General Students

    Congrat, and I'm sure many wil benefit from your story :) One thing, though, concerning this comment: I'm not sure where you got this information, but it's not really correct. You don't actually...

    Did I fail the NCLEX 265

    RNsRWe replied to Flo4Prez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just an FYI: the number of SATA questions received is NOT a good sign, nor is it a BAD sign. It isn't a sign of anything at all. SATA is merely an alternative format of question, not an indication of...

    WHY is this so long?

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

    Wow, way to insult an entire country full of nurses before you even get started here..... IF you pass the NCLEX, you will be ON PAR with the nurses that have also passed it. Before then, you are not...

    Taking NCLEX after Associate's degree

    RNsRWe replied to jl95's topic in General Students

    Not all RN-BSN programs require you to be working during the time you are in school, HOWEVER it is quite common that you won't be accepted into the program without experience AS an RN first. And the...

    Low gpa and chance of getting into nursing schools

    RNsRWe replied to Lidochka's topic in General Students

    HouTX already gave you some very good advice, although it's pretty clear you don't want to hear it. You did major in chemistry and minor in biology, as you pointed out, BUT you came out of that...

    HELP!?

    RNsRWe replied to mdiane's topic in General Nursing

    I can't tell you anything about Chamberlain (although you mentioned "Florida or Jacksonville" and last I checked Jacksonville was a town IN Florida, so...not sure what you mean by that). I think...

    VA what shift is considered "off tour"?

    RNsRWe replied to tl8834ap's topic in General Nursing

    Something seems wrong with the hours you've posted. Maybe you're fuzzy on military time, but....you've got daylight scheduled for only 6 hours (taking out lunch), ending at 2pm and evening shift...

    Did you work fulltime in nursing program?

    RNsRWe replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    Are you looking for different answers from the same questions you posted back in June?

    RNsRWe replied to Rusred11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You already know that no one here can answer that for you. If you have enough discipline to do it on your home computer, AND you DON'T benefit from hearing other people's questions during a lecture,...

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

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

    While the test doesn't "define who you are", it most certainly defines whether or not you are in fact, a nurse, period. You only have to pass it ONCE, but you do have to pass it, to be a nurse in the...

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

    ROFL....you post a thread that says READ ME!! and then tell people that once they have read what YOU have to say about how to prepare for NCLEX, to stop reading what others have to say on the...

    Broken Health Care System???

    RNsRWe replied to csistudent37's topic in General Nursing

    I highly doubt that you haven't heard your nursing school cohorts also talking about how some days they enjoy clinicals, and other days not. How some days they felt useful, and other days not. True?...

    Fear of failing? reason to not enter nursing program?

    RNsRWe replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    Most likely because of your stated fear of failure, your first post on this thread that asked if you should or should not attempt nursing school because of said fear, and then this post of yours:...

    Can a Nurse have a Tattoo???

    Sigh... I tried. Oh well. So....good luck with nursing school, and your attempts to find employment

    Can a Nurse have a Tattoo???

    RNsRWe replied to futurenurse'15's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Actually, you DID, because you stated that facilities that have a "no visible tattoo policy" are discriminatory ("Pure and simple"). Discrimination is a legal term, and you were using it in that...

    There's another thread on the topic of whether to glove for every possible patient interraction, and by the responses it's obviously something we can't all agree on. I, personally, do NOT glove for...

    Random Valuable NCLEX Facts :)

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

    I never recommend calling a BoN (simply because they are overwhelmed with callers who could have found out whatever they wanted to know by following other directions), but maybe it's time in your...

    nursing school dismissal and nclex

    RNsRWe replied to cindy_rn456's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As the PP has said, it's unlikely you would not be issued a license because of the prior incident. Truthfully answer any questions on the application, and go from there. But for now, you need to...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    Yes, VA is different, no doubt. You'd have to explain any gap in employment greater than 30 days, and if you explain it by saying you weren't working (and you were) you will have lied during the...

    For the love of all that's holy, stop fixating on food! Seriously....three posts in a row! As has been said, no one can tell you whether your food question was above passing or below. Look up...
