    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Random Valuable NCLEX Facts :)

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

    I wish I had a buck for every case of anxiety that caused people to pull the trigger on the stupid PVT thing! Hang in there, it'll all be over soon, one way or the other If it turns out you passed, I...

    NCLEX PN after 5th time don't give up

    RNsRWe replied to flowervilet15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I found this to be about as ignorant and insulting toward good students and good test-takers as you apparently find those who believe you haven't got what it takes if it took you five tries. I don't...

    Random Valuable NCLEX Facts :)

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

    Unfortunately, you did not wait 24 hours after you completed your exam to do the PVT; by doing it prematurely (only one hour after the exam!) you don't know if you passed or failed. All you know is...

    retake again

    RNsRWe replied to dimes5990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This really isn't the way to choose a review program. Every course will help you pass; people also fail with every course. What do YOU need? Where are YOUR weaknesses? What did YOUR CPR say were...

    VA Hiring Process

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

    Standards Board has nothing to do with start dates, anything like that. HR sets up NEOs (New Employee Orientations) and it's typically every two weeks. If there is an unusually large group already...

    Rx cough suppressant

    RNsRWe replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Not advice on what you should do, just anecdotal information about my life alone: Tessalon Perles has usually been my best bet at work. If I'm not on the clock, Phenergan c Codeine if it's really...

    Hospital email addresses

    RNsRWe replied to CamillusRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Oh, I have. Used to work for a hospital that taped memos and policy changes, etc to the medroom door. Only management had email addresses, so they printed out stuff that affected the department and...

    Pearson Vue Trick NCLEX-RN

    RNsRWe replied to cle3221's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No. Why would it be? Either PV was verifying your cc data (and it couldn't because you intentionally provided false info) OR it was attempting to charge your card because you had failed. If you...

    Quick results longer than 48hours

    RNsRWe replied to raeg24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    48 hours from the time you complete the test, not start it. It can be longer than 48 hours if a hold was placed initially; it's a rare case when results are longer than 48 hours later. What time did...

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    And after someone posts that it probably wasn't the best plan of action to use illegal substances while trying to get a nursing job.....Don't forget to follow up with "You can't judge me, you don't...

    Chip away a bit at a time. It was fun

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    It's a Quality Assurance thing; the exam has two set of scores, with the second score occuring at some point during the following 24 hours. PV can't release results until both scores are done,...

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    ROFL....but then I'd still get snarked at for not explaining it to them in particular, the 'second hand' explanation that was as detailed as a fliggin' TEXTBOOK wasn't good enough, they should get...

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I actually seriously do try to help out, I really do. And there are a lot of people who have genuinely said "thanks" and been happy for the info. There really are people who have reasonable...

    Ok, what the heck, I'll play; I'll be the italics: "Has anyone ever heard of anyone getting 148 (or 202, or 97...) questions on NCLEX and passing?!? PLZ help, I'm freaking out, has anyone EVER...

    I am having some SERIOUS deja vu. We had a thread (that naturally got closed down when people whined that they recognized themselves as the ones being made fun of, if you can believe it)....it was...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    RNsRWe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Who was it who said, "My mind is made up. Don't confuse me with facts"? A politician, I think, who was serious. LOVE that

    Nclex study guides?

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

    You are likely to get as many opinions on programs as there are students....and programs! In a nutshell, they are all designed to help you pass the NCLEX, and they all work. HOWEVER, what "works'...

    In reading other posts from this member, apparently it's a chronic case of speaking before thinking. Insensitive, inflammatory and even cruel comments are not uncommon from her, as has been...

    What is a Nurses Calling?

    RNsRWe replied to hopepedersen87's topic in General Nursing

    The idea that one must be "called" to nursing (much like a nun is "called" to a life of servitude in religious practice) is about as outdated as, well.....an abundance of full convents People choose...

    Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    RNsRWe replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have found in my personal experiences, throughout life, that when someone cries "DISCRIMINATION!" it is frequently in a situation in which no discrimination has occured. But then, if not for the...
