    Background Checks

    scaredsilly replied to hmgnrse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Did any of the violations have anything to do with alcohol or drug abuse? Did you have to serve any time related to them? Was anyone seriously injured or did anyone die? If all 3 answers are no,...

    Pearson Vue Trick

    scaredsilly replied to Aekram's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The trick is actually a glitch in PVs system. It was never meant to work. Due to the nature of it being a glitch, there are going to be false results, so yes, it can happen. The way the old one...

    So Sick Of This Nurses Eat The Young Crap

    scaredsilly replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    LOL Maybe not. I think that the way to keep from being "eaten" is to make yourself inedible. I figure the more I do to become valuable, the less anyone is going to want me gone. Works so...

    So Sick Of This Nurses Eat The Young Crap

    scaredsilly replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new nurse (7 months). I do not feel either entitled, over confident, or like I should be spoiled. I get to work early every day, I take care my patients. If I am having some down time and...

    LIAR: ADN RN prompted to lie about holding a BSN... is it passable?

    scaredsilly replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That's possible, I really don't know the answer. I passed NCLEX last June, and am 7 months into my first job, so my observances are probably not as important as more seasoned nurses. I kind of...

    LIAR: ADN RN prompted to lie about holding a BSN... is it passable?

    scaredsilly replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Exactly! I work with a couple of ASN nurses and they do the same things that I do. As a new nurse, I owe a couple of them for all that they taught me. The facility I work in is now mandating BSN,...

    scaredsilly replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree that a BSN gives you more in the way of managerial skills than nursing skills. However, never lie!!! They do check, and even if they don't before they hire, eventually you would be caught...
