This is my first rn job and I was given no real training, just following other nurses around for a couple of days. Yes, I read the physical amount of pills and the outgoing nurse checked the paperwork. So you are saying I should have the number from the paperwork read to me as I check the physical amount of pills? None of the nurses there do this including the director, I need to protect myself obviously!

When I started my shift we counted narcs, I read off the physical amount of pills while the nurse leaving checked the paper, she agreed with all my counts. When I went to give one the paperwork was off. I had an extra pill so obviously one was signed out but not given. It's my fault because I didn't look at the paperwork as I counted, right? I reported it as soon as I found the error and the director was really mad about it. I guess at least I was over and not short. I am a new nurse and I have been really stressing about this. Is there anything I should have done differently, what can I expect to happen over this? Any experiences like this?

I passed!!! The pearson vue trick worked for me! I had to do the quick results to confirm it. So relieved, now I can move on with my life!

Don't panic!! I'm sure its just different in New York. I only know this search works for Indiana licenses. Sorry, didn't mean to make you more worried. I know how it is, we just read into any piece of information we can get our hands on at this point!

It depends what state your in, just google your state board of nursing and it should come up, go to verify a license then just type in your name. Your name should be there even if your results aren't it will say pending application. Good Luck!!! Here is the link for the Indiana search Search

I'm with you! I took it yesterday and got the good pop up but I'm so certain I failed! I know I missed the last question and it seemed like they were getting easier, it stopped at 75. Everyone I know found out in 24 hrs from the State Board License website but mine still says pending. This is awful!
