This explains NCLEX pretty well; you dont have to have a 70 or 80! http://caring4you.net/concept.html

I also just started at Memorial just out of school, and so far think it is great.

I'm an old fart, Just graduated, passed nclex and start on the floor tommorow nite at my first nursing job...at 48

pm returned

Oh yeah, take this with you... :pumpiron::w00t::cheers:

Remember Bonny most people pass..You can and will do this. When you start the test , take a deep breath, exhale, and say to yourself, E-A-S-Y!!!

sent u a pm Jenny; Just went through this myself

Sounds like you passed to me!!!Good Luck

VERY GOOD:w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t:

That means you have to get results from the CA BON, some states will give it to you over the internet, some not. Hopefully a Cali member will advise you when they read this. All "not a quick...." means is that pearsonvue is not authorized to release the results

sent you a PM Hop. make sure pop up blockers are off

good job!!!:bow::w00t::w00t::w00t:

i know your not; i can tell...just teasing you

Thanks for that grumpy..I start orientation for my first nursing job on monday in oncology PS Sounds like its time to change your name

good Job to you both!!:cheers::w00t:

I got a 98% chance and passed with a 75 cut-off three days ago:w00t:

Good Job:cheers::cheers::w00t::cheers::cheers:

This by no means scientific or anything. but when I took it last week i turned off at 75; thinking I failed(very hard questions) I told the receptionist, "well I'll be back in 45 days" and she of course told me that i could have passed,,I just knew I failed but I ask her if she knew what percentage of people that shut down at 75 actually pass, and she said she knew of no statistics but that from her position, that she noticed that when people shut off at 75, she only sees about 30% come back. Granted this is the one test site, but I thought I failed and I passed as did another guy with me who turned off at 75. so...don't panic, I think you have a better than even chance of passsing

I passed!!! Thank the Lord..Thought i was toast cutting off at 75 !!!!:w00t::cheers::cheers::w00t:

Make sure you check spam box..One of our girls didn't get to test with us because she was waiting..found it in spam box... its entitled NCLEXATT

well i took mine today too..cut off at 75 ..felt i bombed too..my bon doesn't do the quick results thing so god knows how long i'll have to wait.. i felt i was doing so poorly that when i got to 75 before i clicked i said to myself, don't turn off!!!...click.....blue screen doh!!!!

In clinicals last year I had a patient that had several broken ribs and bruising over 1/3 of his torso from a four-wheeler accident that resulted in him hitting a tree. His CK-MB was fine but his CK-MM was through the roof. This indicated that though he had massive smooth muscle damage, his heart probably had no trauma. Troponin I and Myoglobin are two other tests for MI. The all have different time ranges though. For instance a myoglobin can indicate an MI but may not be appropriate if someone had chest pains on Friday and finally came in on Sunday, still feeling bad, because Myoglobin levels drop off after 24 hours, whereas Troponin I and CK-MB last longer after an event. myoglobin can also indicate skeletal muscle damage too.

Congrats to both. If KO is Kozy, both parents are from there. I live on the coast as well..starting 4th in Fall

G I'm a resident there but I am a nursing student, just passed 3rd of 4 semesters and could not help you as far as pay and such; i have only worked clinicals. New apartments opening up all the time, seems to be plenty of houses for sale now. I lost mine(flooded, but built back) This link has more links in the right hand side of local newspapers on line; scroll down to MS news(sun-herald is the gulfport biloxi paper) http://www.gulfcoastnews.com/ I thought the VA was destroyed; I'll see if I can find out..feel free to PM
