    Paying re exam fee but NOT registering????

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

    sorry then I don't know, must be confusing registering with scheduling. I don't see how you can be expected to register for an exam before you have authorization to even take it, but if that's how...

    Coffee marketed to nurses. Would you buy it?

    Extra Pickles replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    To the person doing the marketing survey, I have to ask if you have considered conducting a survey to find out what nurses do want to have, want to buy for their units or themselves that would make...

    Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

    Extra Pickles replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Quote from Shookclays When I read this something jumped out at me very loud and clear and I wondered if you had considered it. Have you considered that all those fragile babies that you have such...

    Paying re exam fee but NOT registering????

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

    You can't register for an exam until you have been authorized to take the exam. Until your board of nursing issues the ATT for you, you have no authorization to test, so you can't register yet. You...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    Extra Pickles replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A nurse is someone who holds a nursing license. Passing nursing school makes one eligible to take the exam but no one is a nurse until he or she gets a license. You have no way of knowing if the OP...

    You go to the Texas board of nursing website and see what the requirements are for someone who has your education and background. Find out what you will need to send in along with your application...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    Extra Pickles replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    your question is what should you do, you have failed the NCLEX 9 times. We can't tell you what you should do because none of us knows your situation in life and whether you went to a school that...

    Peers very Unsupportive

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

    Either I'm a little confused or maybe oversimplifying but I don't see why it matters at all what anyone says or recommends if you're going to do what you want regardless of what they say. That about...

    Is it me, or...?

    Extra Pickles replied to herewegoagain7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    there really isn't anything to say here is there? you know what the conditions at your job are like and you've already planned your resignation. No point to the thread then really, because some will...

    What do you think?

    Extra Pickles replied to petertheparrot's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If this is your idea of an accurate diagnosis based on the social history provided I can't see you being successful as an NP. I would think your instructors would agree. You accept no responsibility...

    What do you think?

    Extra Pickles replied to petertheparrot's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The fact that your four or five patients could have been reassigned to other nurses doesn't make it fine that you politely told them you were going home. I wouldn't care how polite it was if I was...

    New nurse, need advice

    Extra Pickles replied to Love_Nursing17's topic in General Nursing

    Want to make sure I'm understanding this right. When you say they are asking you to chart your 11pm assessment by 8, this is computer charting and you aren't actually putting anything in the chart...

    How To Pass Hesi Entrance Vocab?

    Extra Pickles replied to loveRN2018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it looks to me like you should talk with your school advisor and get set up with a tutor and remedial classes honestly. The words you say you have no clue what they mean should have been learned in...

    Is it worth applying when you are still missing prereqs?

    Extra Pickles replied to alexmg12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    only people who can give you a valid answer are the admissions people at UTMB. Different schools have different requirements so the only way to know if your situation will result in admission or...

    How much "crap" do you take from people at work?

    Extra Pickles replied to addieoliveira's topic in General Nursing

    You work in food service so you have a sampling of what you can expect in nursing. Only you will get it from everywhere and everyone. Not every person but every department plus patients and their...

    What is your Nursing Dream?

    Extra Pickles replied to nurseandtell's topic in General Nursing

    Today my hopes, dreams and aspirations are to reach retirement age with my back and knees still functioning. Yesterday it was to get a bathroom break without a call light going off. Roadblocks to...

    New nurse, need advice

    Extra Pickles replied to Love_Nursing17's topic in General Nursing

    maybe what your preceptor means is she wants you to get the bulk of your evening charting done at 8 in the evening for time-management purposes? That doesn't mean you are falsifying anything, if you...

    Did you choose nursing because it was your "calling"?

    Extra Pickles replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Students

    No I chose a career I was interested in and thought I'd be good at. I was right on both. now and then I feel called to retire lol but I have to ignore that calling for

    I think I will give negative feedback

    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    that's the wrong take on it. the staff could be as happy or unhappy as they like about the political situation but all that should be discussed in front of a patient being readied for surgery was the...

    BONUS REVOKED

    Extra Pickles replied to Southgirl78's topic in General Nursing

    if that had happened to me I would be royally mad. Sure we all know that a premium pay shift is the first to get called off but I've never heard of someone agreeing to a shift at premium pay and then...

    Extra Pickles replied to #wontgiveup's topic in General Nursing

    my state bon website only lists my name and license number and the town I live in. No address of phone number, if they did that I think I'd flip out. and I don't think having that info would keep...

    So what's going to happen to health care now?

    Extra Pickles replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    It could be a fun exercise to guess how people will think of things if the ACA goes away and they still can't afford policy premiums or they don't qualify for what's available. Who will they blame...
