I find it totally distasteful for patients to assume they can yell at nurse's just because they think they can. I had a older man that came into our clinic yesterday making demands for his lazy daughter (fact). I informed this man that I was not going to accept his yelling at me and told my doctor that if she allowed our patients to treat me this way that they could leave or I would. I worked hard to become a nurse and I am not allowing a rude man to still my joy. If we nurses don't demand respect we will never get it. It is harder some days than others. I have the Serenity Prayer hanging over my desk. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdow to know the difference. More power to my fellow nurses.:bowingpur:nurse:

Thank you!! I know how you must feel! I kept going onto the ARSBN website to try to locate if I passed or not. I was making myself so sick, it kept saying to search again, and then it said it may take up to 72 hours to post. By taking the exam on a Friday, makes it more nerve wrecking for the wait. I finally, contacted my Human Resource Dept. were I work and they were able to tell me if I had passed or not. Saved me $5.50!:balloons: Good luck, and I'm sure you passed!!!

I took my NCLEX on 9-7-07, answered 110 questions. Frankly, all I can remember about the last question was two of the answers. I too, had heard the same thing, that the last question if answered correctly will assure you a pass. I don't believe the last question determines if you pass or fail, the percentage overall determines that. I will keep you in my prayers, the waiting for results is the hardest. I didn't find out my results until 5 days after I had taken the exam, and I passed.

I am so proud of all of you, that have passed the NCLEX exam. It is a major milestone, of accomplishment, congradulations. I myself took the NCLEX PN yesterday and I had 110 questions. I am so afraid of not passing. I studied Saunders, Kaplan and Davis, yet I felt I was not prepared for what I encountered. After reading all the posts of the exam stopping at 85, or 200+, I am really afraid of failing this monster, with the 110.
