I just realized after passing my NCLEX almost two years ago this month, I didn't care to give an update. Well, many things have changed. I went back to school for my BSN last year of August; I got hired as a full time Ortho nurse in one of the best hospitals in Central Valley. October of this year, I graduated with my BSN with honors. Presently, I am working two jobs, but I am planning to continue on with my masters sometime next year. I am glad to be back on Allnurses

Hi Esme12, Definitely. Any nurse who is a threat or even suspected/accused of committing any forms of abuse should be removed from the premises ASAP; it's for everyone's safety. I'm sure we all know that.

"A different nurse who was making insulin rounds learned about the error from an inmate and alerted Corizon immediately. Talboy’s license, which she received in August 2012, has been suspended due to an impending investigation." I honestly find it hard to believe that this nurse would do something like this. How did we know if that individual (IM) was telling the truth or just fabricating? It's kind of hard to pass judgment prematurely while an investigation is being conducted. If it's true, then all I can say is...WOW!

I checked mine fifteen minutes after taking the exam and got the good pop-up. Good luck!

@Nursingbro: Congrats dude u passed!!! I had the same "pop-up" when I checked 15 minutes after taking the exam.

Congrats!!! I just took the exam this morning as well. Fifteen minutes later tried the trick and got the "good pop up." Four hours later still the same." I'm hoping it's accurate (crossing my fingers and toes lol). I also prayed and attended a mass yesterday and went back to church to pray again pre & post exam. I thank God because I couldn't do this without his guidance. My chosen testing area was 2 hours away so I decided to get a room the night before. My nerves were so bad last night that I slept for 3 hours only. To make the situation worse, I slept thru my alarm but luckily I was awaken by an older woman next door screaming on top of her lungs, (yes, she was fine, I realized she was arguing with someone on the phone), bless her lil heart! I am in Cali and I hear its take about 48 hours to show up on the BRN website; we shall see. Good luck to all future nclex test takers and don't forget to pray.

Congrats!!! Will be taking mine on Thursday; just a little nervous:unsure:

Thank you everyone!

Hello everyone: I am scheduled to take my exam this coming Thursday (11/29/12). I graduated last August but didn't start reviewing until 6 weeks ago. Here are my scores and please let me know what you all think. Thank you in advance...It's okay, u can be honest I promise it won't hurt my feelings hehehe Kaplan Qt: 1-65% 2-57% 3-59% 4-58% 5-59% 6-67% 7-72% Qbanks: Lowest 58%(right when I first started); highest 88% Didn't have the diagnostic/readiness tests. Nclex 4000: 59%-82%

Congrats qamarriaz! I honestly prayed for you last night and to all future test takers... Hopefully I will have the same outcome this coming Thursday. Anything else should I be doing for the remaining four days?

Seven more days....

Oh heck, let's call Aunt Marlene (Hurst)! LOL:)

I ran into this kind of question before....the answer is 2. The scenario is, Morphine was given via I.V. and we all know that if we give Morphine, one thing we have to watch out for is resp. distress. I probably need to start doing something right away with that resp (12) because I don't know what's going to happen within another 5 mins.

I think this is a good way of getting everyone's attention. During "all staff" meeting might be another way but not everyone will be attending. Just don't send it to me via text while I'm enjoying my real meal at home and that's what I consider unprofessional and harrassment.
