smithd5- thank you so much for clearing that up for me! It sounds like a really interesting and fun unit to work in :)

Sorry if this post doesn't make sense, but I was asked by a recruiter today what telemetry unit I would like - medical telemetry or surgical telemetry. I didn't know so I blurted out surgical telemetry. She got excited and had an "oh really?" look and set me up with an interview... It left me wondering why she got excited and me thinking "what exactly did I choose?" I thought it was like other telemetry units, but I guess its different? I couldn't find a thread that described the difference... Will any of you be kind enough to paint a picture of what the differences are? Thank you so much for looking and helping :)

Thanks so much for the responses, i'm glad i found this thread. I have an interview on Mon and i'm drawing blanks and these questions should help settle some of the jitters and would help me get a clearer mind so that I can answer without stuttering haha Edit: If anyone else has any other questions/ideas please feel free to add... especially some of you who actually do the interviewing :) Thanks a lot!

Hey! I took the test in Ontario too that day, congrats!

I never thought that when I posted in this thread 4 days ago that I would be saying that I passed!!! Wow is an understatement right now! I thought I was done, and I'm not the type to sugar-coat anything, I'm usually a straight-shooter when it comes to things like this... never did I believe that I had even a remote chance of passing. I was already planning in my head how to tackle the NCLEX a second time and I was going to try Suzanne's plan, or whatever it takes to make sure I pass the second time... but there will be no second time, thank GOD! I think I'm the first official one in my class to reach 265 haha and passed. I'm going to go and encourage the rest of my class who haven't taken it yet not to be too nervous and to hang in there even if it goes past 75!!!!

Just wanted to say thank you, I found out my results early this morning and I'm officially an RN!

Thanks suzanne for explaining that :)

Thanks, I know its not a concrete way of analyzing whether we passed or not, but people posting from the same state and day when we took our exams can at least give me some things to think about whether they are positive or not in relation to our own situation :)

If you are from CA and took the NCLEX-RN on Friday, July 18, 2008 - please post here the moment you find out that your name is on the rn.ca.gov website for your license. It would give those of us who took it the same day in CA something to gauge ourselves to, so we are not waiting in the dark not knowing... Thanks in advance!

You didn't check the website to see if you're licensed? I would go nuts if I waited that long not knowing what happened lol congrats!

I had a similar question I think... but it was in a disaster situation... in that case I was made to understand to go see the person with the least amount of "damage", better chance of survival... hehe i dunno, this stuff messed with my head a lot

^ Oh okay, thanks for the info... Seems like its gonna be a long, hard wait

I took my rn test Friday the 18th... I'm thinking if I did pass and if they did post it, mine won't be posted till tuesday morning right?... I had classmates who took it on a thurs and found out monday morning.. so i'm just estimating here...

Wow congratulations! Glad you did it -

My classmate's exam stopped at 220 and he passed, check again monday, good luck man
