    About nclex rn

    Extra Pickles replied to Onyinyechukwu2015's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    when I think back to what was the focus of nursing education 15 years ago and what is taught now I can only imagine how much has changed! Students who graduated only several years ago in the US have a...

    Dragging hospital communications, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century

    Extra Pickles replied to Rpw3b's topic in General Nursing

    My job also uses an internal server and doesn't send out anything via personal emails to anyone for anything. But I have to tell you that about the last thing I want on my personal email is a message...

    I feel like I failed my interview

    Extra Pickles replied to Yive's topic in General Nursing

    hey Yive, before I even read your post I wanted to write this: if that's your own photo you are using as an avatar you really should consider changing it. Especially if you're going to be posting...

    No, not the only one. Meant to comment on it and forgot to go back. But yes really a silly

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    Extra Pickles replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    it's a little bit of a side note but goes along with what macawake was saying, the US is not a democracy, "so-called" or otherwise. We are a republic. I'm always surprised by the number of people...

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    Extra Pickles replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    That reasoning wouldn't be a sound one. If I interviewed while wearing purple scrubs but my employer's policy is that RNs must wear whites, should I be allowed to work wearing the purple scrubs...

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    Extra Pickles replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    My own two cents is that the OP's friend allowed what should have been a tiny molehill turn into a huge mountain. She was asked about religion during an interview, and that was wrong, however they...

    Is it customary where you work to recheck BPs manually?

    Extra Pickles replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I think my surprise in reading through this thread is the dependence that seems to be growing on the automated BP machines. If they are more accurate most of the time and most of the time are...

    Question

    3.6 GPA: the likelihood of getting into nursing school

    Extra Pickles replied to CheyenneElliott2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I said to make sure what your program will allow, as those variations I mentioned are possible. If you know retaking the course will improve your chances and not hinder them, then there you go. Good...

    Maybe I can help :) Nebraska being a compact state means you can work in the other states in the compact agreement while still maintaining your residence in Nebraska. Helpful for those who live near...

    Extra Pickles replied to Nikicole134's topic in General Nursing

    I've done both heck I've done it all lol! The advantage to working Monday through Friday is that you will have normal weekends like most of the rest of the free world and can plan for that, to me...

    3.6 GPA: the likelihood of getting into nursing school

    Extra Pickles replied to CheyenneElliott2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just one question: are you sure that your retake will be allowed or considered? I don't know that particular program but it's not unusual to have the first grade count for the program consideration,...

    Kiss My Nursing Dream Goodbye?

    Extra Pickles replied to HanaJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the plan is to get the ADN first, then work while in school for BSN, that's a great plan. But be careful that your plan also includes how to pay for it, as it is becoming increasingly rare to find...

    Nursing is not for you if you don't have a burning passion for it?

    Extra Pickles replied to .CJ.'s topic in General Students

    Soon To Be Nurse, YOU were the one who said nurses in your country get paid little more than minimum wage, not me. That doesn't indicate to me that nurses are considered valuable at all, but hey, not...

    The NCSBON says that the NCLEX grading, both sets of scores, are completed within 24 hours. It has nothing to do with the 48-hour mark that Pearson Vue's Quick Results become available at. Whatever is...

    Accreditation frustration

    Extra Pickles replied to MoeMonroe's topic in General Students

    If your school is accredited by any agency it's going to be somewhere on your school's website. That's not something to hide, it's something to brag about, so shouldn't be hard to find. If it isn't...

    seems to be a rarity to have you unable to register for an exam at this point and still fail. One thing is for sure, if you are relying on a registration glitch to give you insight as to whether you...
