    VA Hiring Process

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

    Well, as I'm sure you realize, it doesn't look GOOD how your resume reads. Still doesn't mean it's a good idea to skip it; they WILL know, and you WILL lose your job (if you even get it). Seriously,...

    I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

    RNsRWe replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Here's a funny for ya: I was called into a patient's room, after an exasperated LPN (who was assigned to that patient, mind you) told me he "needed an RN". Umm....what? I went into the room, to see...

    Did I fail the NCLEX 265

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

    DON'T post the question, just a bad plan. No one could possibly tell you for certain what "kind" of question it was, and you risk being held accountable for an NCLEX breach. Getting the last...

    RNsRWe replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This thread is still active?! Nutshell: What is and is not in any LPN/LVN's scope of practice is defined by their State's Nurse Practice Act as well as the policy of the employer. It varies by State...

    RNsRWe replied to kidzcare's topic in General Nursing

    The station wagon comment made me think of stuffing kids wearing pajamas into the back of the family station wagon, along with blankets and pillows, to head to the Drive-In! Where you'd pull up to a...

    RNsRWe replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Well, no, not really. My faith, my belief system is not in the least bit threatened by what I know of the scientific community, and science in general. For ME, it only further validates my...

    nclexpn - difficulty passing exam

    RNsRWe replied to Dreamgood1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    FWIW, asking if anyone has ever passed with XX number of questions is kinda like asking if it's possible that anyone has ever driven home from work and gotten into an accident. Yes, it happens. And...

    Payment Declined PVT 2015 nclex-rn

    RNsRWe replied to lab0117's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, in which case they have donated $200 (non-refundable) to PV. MOST of the time it doesn't happen, but sometimes it does. My suggestion would be to wait at least 24 hours after the time you...

    RNsRWe replied to Dreamgood1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I don't know what the BONUS website is, but if your BoN has a message that your license is pending....your license is pending. What does it mean? Just that. When they receive notification...

    RNsRWe replied to lab0117's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you've read "so much" about PVT as you say, then surely you must have seen the hundreds of posts that discuss waiting 24 hours before doing it? That your exam must be scored TWICE, and that this...

    NCLEX PN "passing level" questions. Pls help!!

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

    Absolutely no one can answer this correctly for you, because all formats and types of questions can be above the passing standard or below it. Anyone who tells you a certain kind of question (or...

    RNsRWe replied to emsco78's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Actually, this is completely untrue, and one of the Great NCLEX Myths out there. SATA is merely an alternative format for the questions used, it is not indicative of passing or failing. SATA...

    RNsRWe replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Paying this early gains you nothing but lost use of your $200. Don't pay a fee for a test until you are authorized TO test; should something happen between now and then you don't want to be out a...

    Wear gloves during assessment?

    RNsRWe replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    In school I learned "warm, wet, and not yours" to be sure to have gloves on. I expanded that in later years to "warm or cold, if it's wet and not mine I'm not touching it!"
