  1. Portland Job Market

  2. Hourly Pay

    qrkid replied to Nurse7.0's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  3. Living in an RV. Need tax help

    qrkid replied to AshevilleRN's topic in Travel

    You could even look to rent a room to a fellow travel RN. They could sign a lease and pay you monthly so they can have a tax home. You would get the benefit of the income and still not really have...

  5. How much call do you take? How much is to much?

    qrkid replied to RNninja's topic in Operating Room

    Our main OR people have to take 10 - 16hrs per month. I am on the heart team (3 surgeons, 2 rooms) and take anywhere from 30 - 70hrs a week (depends if I am on a weekend or not). Normally 1 full...

  6. RN moving MD to Wilmington NC

    qrkid replied to Amberpohlhaus's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Good that you are already aware of the pay cut you would take. NC does not lead the way in paying RN's and Southeast NC does not lead the way in NC in paying RN's. Consideration when looking for a...

  7. RN moving MD to Wilmington NC

    qrkid replied to Amberpohlhaus's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  8. Assisting/scrubbing in the OR..

    qrkid replied to ivyleaf's topic in Operating Room

    qrkid replied to Alan17's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    qrkid replied to Quay's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Well if none of your stuff will transfer you are going to have to take a bunch of pre reqs even if you do an ADN. In that case that will take you a year or two before you can even start the actual...

    qrkid replied to jess4923's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I tested on Wed 6/1 in NC. I cut off at 75 questions. Got my quick result today and I passed and I was emailed a copy of my license from NCBON. I did a live Hurst review back in the beginning of Jan...

  19. Bad hurst review scores

    qrkid replied to PSALM139's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The questions I got were similar to Hurst. Hurst had a few unexpected ones like where the answer was popcorn for a high fiber food. That is not wrong but I did not expect such out there stuff. Hurst...

  20. Bad hurst review scores

    qrkid replied to PSALM139's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  21. Pearson Vue Trick The Truth

    qrkid replied to SanManDan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't disagree with you but Not sure on the $200. If they charge you and you pass they will not allow you to take the test again. They cannot charge you for something they will not provide. The non...

  22. Bad hurst review scores

    qrkid replied to PSALM139's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Calm down. Hurst do not say you should get 84/125. That is the median score of of people who pass the nclex. A median number is the number in the middle of a range, so there are a number of people who...
