    VA Hiring Process

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

    Once the Standards Board has met and determined your Level and Step, HR will call you very soon after. That day, the next, something like that. They have incentive to get you on sooner rather than...

    Legitimate Interview?

    RNsRWe replied to ellieheart's topic in Government, Military

    Telephone interviews are quite common, and are designed to accomodate applicants for whom travelling would be too big an inconvenience, or simply not possible. There's nothing strange about it where...

    Yay!

    Second Attempt at NCLEX

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

    Actually it does. If your last question truly is below the passing standard, it means that at the time the test concluded you were below the passing standard, and therefore not passing. I think the...

    how to land a job after multiple firings.

    RNsRWe replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Hard to help if we don't know what keeps going wrong. Maybe the question isn't "how to get hired" but "how do I keep my job once I get

    PVT Payment Declined NCLEX PN 2015 CA

    RNsRWe replied to dmavs360's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry you aren't understanding what I and the other member who took the time to explain it are telling you. You still don't understand why relying on ONE SCORE, the one you initially guessed at...

    PVT Payment Declined NCLEX PN 2015 CA

    RNsRWe replied to dmavs360's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Who suggests one hour? You can do it literally minutes after completion of your test, it is just as inaccurate at that point as it is at one hour, though. And the second bolding was just

    SATA HELP

    RNsRWe replied to kenee23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    One of the 'regulars' here (Beachy? not sure) had a great post about dealing with SATA. The general gist was that you should view the answers as 'True/False' type questions; if an answer is TRUE...

    If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    RNsRWe replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    If this were true, wouldn't it then be reasonable to assume that those who can't pass have not been blessed? Or were they cursed? What might the proper religious application be

    If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    RNsRWe replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    And, therefore, wouldn't that include preparing the student to pass the NCLEX? Seems to me a school of nursing is very MUCH supposed to prepare its students for the NCLEX, otherwise what the heck was...

    Coworker tried converting me on my break

    RNsRWe replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    Since the first incident is already done and gone, nothing you can do much about it (nothing that matters, anyway). But the next time she broaches it---and believe me, she will--just say simply that...

    How Can I Get a Good Hospital Job Without a License?

    RNsRWe replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    A student nurse cannot get a job without being qualififed to do that job; if they hire LVNs and you hold that license, you are qualified for that. If they only hire RNs.....then no. That said, you...

    why do nurses need to be licensed?

    Do I really need to spend money?

    RNsRWe replied to Nyde21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The adjustments made to the CAT scoring are minute, and every few years. Basic content is still basic content; whatever you find from 2013 or 2014 is not going to change. And regardless of people's...

    PVT Payment Declined NCLEX PN 2015 CA

    RNsRWe replied to dmavs360's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Actually, I think so....and this is why: as you said, you did it "several hours" after completion. Not 24. The thing is, if your first score was a 'fail', your premature PVT would have resulted in...

    PVT Payment Declined NCLEX PN 2015 CA

    RNsRWe replied to dmavs360's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    congrats on passing the first of two scorings (that's all you know at this point, as in your anticpation to find out something, you did the PVT much too early to be valid). If you're lucky, your...

    Your mistake in doing the PVT does not affect accuracy; the results aren't "false". You might not know what you're doing, but thankfully Pearson Vue does As has been explained, the pop up you get...

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

    Yes. You are describing the EXACT reason why we keep telling people repeatedly to NOT do the PVT prior to 24 hours after completion of their exam. The exam is scored twice; the only one that matters...

    Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

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

    Yes. Since you took all 265 questions, at the end the CAT determined with a 95% certainty that you were above the passing standard at that point. If you had not met that standard, you would have...

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

    Congrats on passing! FWIW, getting only some or many SATA questions doesn't mean anything (other than you probably hate SATA like most people!). There's a myth out there that getting a lot of SATA...
