    Hi, Newbies, and Welcome to AN! Since the forum is clogging up with a bazillion threads all asking the same questions, maybe we can streamline this. If your question is here....Yay! If not....post...

    Random Valuable NCLEX Facts :)

    RNsRWe posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's a Not-So-Quick List (but a pretty thorough one!) of miscellaneous questions that get posted FREQUENTLY:✔️ If you needed to answer only the minimum number of questions (75 for RN, 85 for PN)...

    4th x NCLEX RN

    RNsRWe replied to RN San Antonio's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Then the person responding to you is typical of most customer service representatives in most Boards of Nursing I find: if they don't know the answer they make one up. After talking with hundreds of...

    4th x NCLEX RN

    RNsRWe replied to RN San Antonio's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When you pay $7.95 to Pearson Vue for Quick Results, of course it's accurate. It's what you PAID for. The "trick" that far too many people are enamored of is a game, and is NOT accurate. QR are...

    Cannot find no ADN programs!

    RNsRWe replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

    Well, OP, since you are clearly very knowledgeable on the topic and are quite certain that everyone responding to you is completely wrong....why don't you just do exactly what your friend is doing?...

    Cannot find no ADN programs!

    RNsRWe replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

    One more thought, OP: would you honestly be able to say that you would choose to have your child, spouse or parent under the care of someone who skipped courses, didn't attend clinicals, and might not...

    Cannot find no ADN programs!

    RNsRWe replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

    SO MANY things wrong here: OP, you cannot do what you are trying to do, period. This is why you are having such a hard time. Online programs are designed for those who are already RNs to achieve a...

    Did I pass NClex? I used PVT. Haaallllp!!!!

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

    No. I am (extremely) well-versed in CAT systems and your assessment would be incorrect. A person who continues to receive questions is NOT "below the passing level"; more questions are asked because...

    Did I pass NClex? I used PVT. Haaallllp!!!!

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

    On what do you base this statement? There is no such fact saying that the more questions you get, the greater your chances of failing. Why scare people unnecessarily? Again...this is scaring...

    The must have T-shirt for every male nurse!

    1. You have just attacked someone who only offered you suggestions on how YOU might avoid looking truly stupid upon your first appearance in nursing school. Not sure how you find a correlation...

    Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    RNsRWe replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    Well, I guess it's good for students that some will :) As I said, I have done this, after a night shift that took 13 hours to complete. Would I do it ALOT? No. Would I do it once? Did, and had a...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    RNsRWe replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    Cancer is a condition that creates a significant body of evidence, and recognizable, well-known adverse effects that CAN be managed (for some, for many) with monitored medical marijuana. NO doubt....

    shut off at 76..

    RNsRWe replied to lizD0617's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I guess the obvious answer is, "No". You must reach a 95% Confidence Interval in order for the test to end; the people whose exam concluded at 75 questions were able to reach a high enough...

    Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    RNsRWe replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    I have. Used to work nocs, and met with a student at 0800 after I gave report. SHE had coffee, *I* had orange juice, and after a half hour chat, we went our separate ways. Couple of years later she...

    On the point about non-nurses (let alone non-RNs) telling people they are nurses when they are not, I just finished with a patient...he told me he worked "in healthcare". Oh, what do you do? "I help...

    Pearson Vue Trick October 2015

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

    It "works" only insofar as most of the time the popup you get matches with the end result. Sometimes it doesn't (and this has happened more often in the last six months than ever before). Sometimes...

    Nursing Student applicant help

    RNsRWe replied to futurenurse1657's topic in General Students

    Honestly, as long as the nursing school you attend has a great local reputation, that is all you need. If you want UPenn, of course, apply. Just realize that competition for new grad jobs is steep,...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    RNsRWe replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    No one has disagreed with you on this. And, once again, no one is disagreeing with you. IF you have a legal prescription, you are not breaking your State's law by smoking. Where everyone is...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    RNsRWe replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    What a strange mistake to have made. It is completely incorrect, I said nothing of the sort. What I SAID was: "People who have nursing licenses are supposed to be educated enough to recognize that if...

    And now we have officially devolved into nonsense. Do you have anything further to add to the discussion concerning marijuana laws and the State BoN.....or is this it? For the record, no one...

    RNsRWe replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    So...you brought up a topic YOU wanted to discuss, and along the way tell us you like to throw out things just to see what reaction you'd get. When you GET the discussion...AND you get...

    It's the statement below that made that connection....and why your credibility plummeted. In one breath you say that the laws (regarding marijuana) are confusing...and then point out people who are...

    That's all there was on that list; I have no doubt there's more pages with lots more info. But still pretty sure pot smoking is not a "protected"
