  1. Pearson Vue Trick - Website Update (Good pop up still alive)

    monkeyhq replied to BSN1986's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just because one gets what they think is a good pop-up, and then officially hears they passed does not mean the new trick 'works'. I haven't heard (on AN forums anyway) of a single person getting...

  2. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    A lot of people are assuming this is the case, but there is no proof that this new trick works. EVERYONE who has reported under this new so-called 'trick' has gotten the same screen and we haven't...

  3. Why did you become a nurse?

    monkeyhq replied to Valerie99's topic in General Nursing

    I did it for the scrubs. And fancy

  4. Starting an agency

    monkeyhq replied to JordyJ717's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Before you even consider beginning a home health agency, I highly recommend you get some significant nursing experience under your belt. There are many compliance issues, legal issues, financial...

  5. Cost of setting up a home healthcare business in other state.

    monkeyhq replied to adaconsultant's topic in Home Health

    There is no correct answer to this question. States vary on fees, business licenses, the cost of permanent fixtures, disposable supplies, compliance initiatives, etc. If you are an RN or LPN, you...

  6. Pearson Vue: Bullies?

    monkeyhq replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    Hahaha! I don't think I ate until the next morning when the BON posted my results. Though cold oatmeal ain't so bad, you

  7. Opportunity in Oncology for a Survivor?

    monkeyhq replied to monkeyhq's topic in Oncology

    Scaredsilly, Thank you for the input and insights. Yes, the nursing staff (infusion room), my clinical trial nurse navigator, my oncologist and at least 3 of the other 15 physicians, will know me...

  8. Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    monkeyhq replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is not the case in Ohio. We have diploma RN programs

  9. Considering LPN.

    monkeyhq replied to MattCM's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Nursing schools generally use an admission standard based on academic abilities, not necessarily the experience or skills learned as a nursing assistant (which are usually taught to new students...

  10. Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    monkeyhq replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That seems completely unfair to those who have real life experience in management, research, supervision, teaching, leadership, and evidence based practice processes (which are taught in most ADN...

  11. Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    monkeyhq replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I do not understand exactly how two levels could be established. The scope of practice is exactly the same: RN. The 'nursing skills' education is the same. How are the hairs split between nurses...

  12. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    That is hysterical! Poor psych grads would so question their choice of

  13. Please help me understand

    monkeyhq replied to Clementia's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I can't speak for all victims of abuse, but if the OP stated she was 18 years old when she met this man, and that the man was older, she must have been secure in thinking that he wouldn't abuse her....

  14. PDN shot and killed

    monkeyhq replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    When I was looking for my first job, there was a listing for a sample collection/vital collection nurse for patients that were in out-patient mandated drug rehabilitation programs. The duties...

  15. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    First, thank you so much for the compliment. Second, it would be so cool if they could do something of that nature, but since it is the board that ultimately decides issuing the license, they do...

  16. Pearson Vue: Bullies?

    monkeyhq replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I would much rather have been on an elevator with Eddie Van Halen, at a concert, or enjoying fellowship with my nursing friends. I woke up early to drive in the snow (it was between xmas and...

  17. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    AN is a very small microcosm when compared to the number of students taking the test daily. Further, this sample is saturated with forums about the NCLEX. Everyone else (which would be the majority...

  18. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    No one drilled the expectation of using a 'glitch' into your head except YOU. Jeez, it's like being angry that someone repaired the hole in the fence where you used to take the short cut. Get over...

  19. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    I disagree with you completely. There is not evidence to support your argument. Not all nursing students even knew about the PVT, and in some states, your results are posted at the BON before the PV...

  20. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    And you expected to use an unofficial, often incorrect, software glitch to find out your results? You actually expected this? Did PV promise you this? No, they did not. PV never intended for this...

  21. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

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

    Everyone I have ever met says they thought they failed (including me), but most I know passed. How many questions you get really is irrelevant. You can pass beautifully with 75, and you can fail...

  22. ADVICE NEEDED

    monkeyhq replied to Cardiacguy7's topic in Oncology

    I can certainly understand the need for deep consideration. I hope you have a wonderful time at Disney, and do try to relax while there. All the

  23. Opportunity in Oncology for a Survivor?

    monkeyhq replied to monkeyhq's topic in Oncology

    Thank you for the great advice! I just finished my cover letter without mention of it, but did mention 'unique insights' to patient care. I am very grateful! Thank you so much for your help. And...

  24. Opportunity in Oncology for a Survivor?

    monkeyhq replied to monkeyhq's topic in Oncology

    Oh no! Your response was very, very helpful! I hadn't considered the reactions of patients. I was just stating that working in government exposed me to a lot of irate people (nothing makes people...

  25. ADVICE NEEDED

    monkeyhq replied to Cardiacguy7's topic in Oncology

    I am a survivor, and I am looking at a position at my oncology group. I would appreciate any advice regarding whether I should or should not reveal my survivor status in a cover letter or interview...
