My name's still not showing up on the BNE - RN verification.

I know one person tested last week, and it appeared that day! (I also know 3 people that tested last week, and none of our names are showing up yet!)

...Just a little disappointing, but maybe it'll be today. I'm glad I went ahead and paid Pearson Vue for the quick results. I'd really be freaking out by now!

:chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

Finally...this AM my name showed up on the BNE!!

It says license issued today, which is a little disappointing saying I tested last Wednesday, but I'LL TAKE IT! LOL

I would have needed to be put in a full body restraint with a padded helmet, had I not paid for the fast results! :chuckle

OK, Mysterious, if you check this before your test....YOU'LL DO GREAT!

Hmmm....I don't think I've seen that one. THANKS!!

Jaxia: Performance Based Development System (PBDS). Some hospitals require it as a hire/fire test...although it is subjective. :uhoh21: Some require it, but only to see where you are in terms of critical thinking. (Some hospitals require travel nurses to pass it, I guess because they don't go through an internship, ect.)

http://www.clinicalone.com/c1/careercenter_clienttesting.asp has some info on it, and there are threads on AllNurses about the PBDS also.

Maybe you should ask ECC about it.

[JaxiaKiley]

Thanks for the info, Fun.

How can you pass a subjective test? Gah!

Ask about it? You're joking, right?

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

lol Jaxia...that's what I think. I can see someone wanting to get rid of someone....."Here. You must pass this test or your fired. Oh by the way, I get to determine how many interventions you need to have. .....Yes, the last person passed with 4 interventions per each DX, but you need to have more than that." ugggh

Let's just hope we all deal with honest people. :)

ECC....lol

By the way, I really did like that blog. I think I'm hooked.

Hey guys - sorry I fell off the earth for a while!! lol. But for those of you who know me I am prone to that once in a while!!! lol I've been to 6-flags, water parks, and having fun with my kids!!!! woohooooo!!!!!! Even rode the Titan for the first time ever - not bad at age 42!!!!!!! lol. It is amazing what being finished with school and passing the boards will do for you!!! lol

FUN - congrats!!!!!!!!!! Sorry you have had the problem with your name showing up. I had a couple friends take their test today and they thought it was hard like I did!! Mysterious - you will do great!!! When do you test (or have you already)? You did really well in school so you can pass the NCLEX too!!!!!! Even when you sit down and those questions keep coming at you and getting harder you keep telling yourself you can do it - because you CAN!!!! Keep us all posted!!

[LKG6]

How was it?
