    elkpark replied to californiadreamin797's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If, at some point in the future, the BON were to find out that you failed to disclose requested info on your licensure application, that is grounds for revoking your license. The consequences of...

    Disrespectful patient

    elkpark replied to hwknrs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really, OP? You're working in an ED, not an etiquette school. If you spoke to any family member of mine, regardless of the situation or the family member's behavior toward you, the way you describe,...

    Who's at fault here?

    Licensing in NC, tax home in WI?

    elkpark replied to aazobeck's topic in Travel

    If you're going to be physically living in WI, WI will expect you to get a WI driver's license and surrender your NC license. Also, WI and NC are both "compact states" (signatories of the Nurse...

    How much is a normal raise

    elkpark replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    There is no "normal" raise. Different employers have different policies. Often, the max raise is tied to the economy and inflation; my employer is fairly generous and considered a "good" employer...

    Would a 75% NCLEX pass rate scare you away from a school?

    elkpark replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The 69.87% figure also includes internationally educated candidates, who get horrible (on average) scores; since they, by definition, did not attend a US nursing program, I don't feel that number is...

    Would a 75% NCLEX pass rate scare you away from a school?

    elkpark replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where was this? How does a school like that not get shut down by the BON? In every state I've practiced in over the years, a pass rate of 70% or 75% (in that range) would get you looked at by the...

    Would a 75% NCLEX pass rate scare you away from a school?

    elkpark replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree completely with you about this, and consider the NCLEX pass rate just one of many factors that should be considered. However, I also believe that a consistently low NCLEX pass rate is a sign...

    Would a 75% NCLEX pass rate scare you away from a school?

    elkpark replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about the pass rate for other years? Was the 75% a one-time thing, or have the rates been consistently low for a number of years? If the school has a history of high rates, the 75% one year...
