Hello, I am the Patient Care Coordinator for a new hospice in Nebraska. I was hired by the Medical Facility (which consists of Long Term Care, Assisted Living, Hospital, and now Hospice). I was handed the state manual, and CMS regs on day 1, and told to start the program Yes, it has been a TON of work, but very very rewarding. We have just received our PASS score on our state licensure survey, and I have been doing my fair share of research for the 3 "deemed status accrediting agencies". Please share your experiences with me, and give me advice on which one to use. The main points I am looking for are: lowest cost (which appears to be ACHC, Then CHAP, then Joint Commission), quickest survey time, and easiest . Any and all advise would be so helpful :)

I PASSED!!! I AM SO SURPRISED RIGHT NOW! IT IS JUST SO SURREAL AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO ME!!

Yes, I am the first one from my school, and they are all going to wonder if I passed, too. I am sure you did, since the computer was probably sure by then that you were at the level you need to be at...It just makes me so angry because I am a very smart person, and I do know my stuff, but that test just makes you feel stupid!! Brain dead at 76..haha, think about 265...yeah, it was bad!! Let me know how you do!

Yes, I will lose my mind if I have to wait until Monday, too! Did you just feel terrible about how it went...how many questions did you have??

Hello- I really need someone's expert experience advice...if that even makes sense. I took the NCLEX today and got all 265 questions...YUCK!! It really was bad, and I do not feel very good about how it went...which I hear is a normal reaction. Does anybody know since I took it today if I will get my results back on Saturday, or Monday, since saturday is not a business day?? Thanks for your help!
