Hi.. I have a question about VSC.. I already started to fill up the VSC online and I have the order number however i have not made any payment.. my question is.. Does the order start to countdown for 12 months before it expired or the countdown for 12 months will only start after i made the payment? Because I decided not to continue through online as there are some wrong transcription of data based on the data that i had given when the when printing.. and how can i corrct those? or shall i submit a mixed document from paper submission and online submission?

Hello Everyone, Just to give an update here is the latest news about NCLEX this might affect the passing standard. This post is just to give an information for those who are planning to take NCLEX in future. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN®) voted on Dec. 10, 2009, to raise the passing standard for the NCLEX-RN® Examination (the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses). The new passing standard is -0.16 logits on the NCLEX-RN logistic scale, 0.05 logits higher than the previous standard of -0.21. The new passing standard will take effect on April 1, 2010, in conjunction with the "2010 NCLEX-RN® Test Plan." After consideration of all available information, the NCSBN Board of Directors determined that safe and effective entry-level RN practice requires a greater level of knowledge, skills, and abilities than was required in 2007, when NCSBN implemented the current standard. The passing standard was increased in response to changes in U.S. health care delivery and nursing practice that have resulted in the greater acuity of clients seen by entry-level RNs. The Board of Directors used multiple sources of information to guide its evaluation and discussion regarding the change in passing standard. As part of this process, NCSBN convened an expert panel of nine nurses to perform a criterion-referenced standard setting procedure. The panel's findings supported the creation of a higher passing standard. NCSBN also considered the results of national surveys of nursing professionals including nursing educators, directors of nursing in acute care settings and administrators of long-term care facilities.

Hi.. I know it's advisable to apply VSC thru paper submission.. I read this before I started to do online. However I have not made any payment. I already filled-up some of the details there. Now, I want to continue by paper submission. Is it possible to ignore that since I have not made any payment. Whern was the order start is it after payment (I'm taliking about the on-line)or after I start filling all the detais? Cause I worry even though I have not made any payment they will start the order which is only valid for one year. Thanks Guys..

Hi... wow thank you so much hahaha you can even trace my post.. That's great... wow You're so helpful.. I really appreciate that.. By the way How about you? Think you must be a very successful nurse now.. Are you practicing now? what area? Pls if i need more info pls help me... Thanks and God Bless...

Thanks so much for that informative explanation.. So now I know taht I might having some difficulty to go there unless i am very fortunate to find an employer who can sponsor for H1B visa.. You haven't answer my first question.. What will be the next step in case i can find an employer who can sponsor me in H1B Visa?. since I dont have anything except for the NCLEX RN passing cert (license). What will be the first step coz as you've said dont apply for visa screen until you got the sponsorship.. and I am afraid due to the long time we needed for processing everything to get the Viascreen, they might back-out.. That is the worst that might happen.. So shall I prepare for the Visa Screen or still need to wait for the employer? And pls answer the first question.. Thank you for your patience and consideration..

Ok.. In case I can find an employer who can sponsor for H1B Visa? That is if only happens? so what shall be the next step? Coz as of now I only have my NCLEX license and thats all.. pls guide me what shall I do next.. I thought there is so called a que for the application for the immigration visa.. what is that? and how can we be included in the que? pls explain... Im sorry I'm a new here a lot of question will be expected from me...

Hi I dont know if this question was being asked before... I just want to know, what is the best step? Apply for visascreen first after passing nclex or find an employer first before filling for visascreen. I am confused about the steps? and what is the reason why?

I worked in labor and Delivery in the Philippines before. And The Gyne and Dr.s says actually a man is also a good help in L and D. I was one of the good pusher whn labor comes specially whn they reached the transition period.

When is you examination? On my last day before the exam, I went to the church early in the morning PRAY and talk to him that I will try my very best.. then after that I took the breakfast and bought some food and make sure that I have enough food for the whole day until the following day which is my exam day.. I read those questions topics that I think I'm having some difficulty.. My tips is to read and review your Delegation, Prioritization specially your Infection control... these topics belongs to the difficult question... Your guide that you're passing is if you encountered a question like priritization followed by SATA... SATA is your key if you got a lot of SATA no need to worry you PASS the exam... If you got all the basic nursing knowledge question it means you're not getting the right answer... But stay focus... and Pray and take your time.... God bless.. pls let me know the outcome.. and follow my advice...

hi thank you for this... and i received a very strong remarked from you "bogchi2000 is wrong!" just bear in my mindthat infusion pums are aprogrammed at mls/hour.. my answer is 16.667 mls/min just multiply by 4 then you will get the mls/hour. = 67 mls/hour. sometimes we just need to clarify things and use nursing knowledge to come up with the answer.. it doesnt mean we are wrong.. thanks for the compliment neecy224... god bless

Hi, you have to determine the drop factor ussually its 15 gtts/min. So it should be 17 gttsmin.. You have to devide 100ml by (1.5hrs x 4) = 16.66 or 17 gtts/min If am wrong pls let me know...

Hi.. That was an excellent tip.. But just to share my experience.. I like to read, review and scan in the last minute a day before the exam even in last hour of my exam and its effective for me.. maybe it depends on the individual.. and ofcourse I agreed to eat a healthy food before the exam and Pray before you hit No. 1 question...

Hi.. I just found out I passed.... Thanks for all the contributors in this thread.. I suggest to all the examiners to read from thread 1 up to the last page before you take the exam... Dont ignore the repetition of facts or topics as this will help you to remember the topics.. Please try to ask them if you are in doubt with the facts they thrown... correct everyones mistake if there is any and try to controbute as well... Thanks all... and God Bless...

Hi.. I do suggest that if you have your access to computer.. just keep on logging in and read one by one.. coz it's so exciting to read verything inside here.. including all the experiences they had before during and after the exam.. But if you like to copy and paste then print also alright but it has a lot of pages.. and you won't feel the way they post they thread coz some are arguing and some are sharing and some are just disturbing.. I can only say this is a great thread... Thanks to courney who started this thread..

hi, based on the assessmnt given. 88 beats for min is beow the normal cardiac rate for infant.. a normal infant cardiac rate is 130-150 beats/min.. in this case the nurse should withold the medicine and inform the doctor.
