A fellow nurse was preparing to make a telephone call to a spanish speaking patient. Lab resulted a yeast infection. The fellow nurse asked me how to say yeast in spanish, I was not certain and we had asked another spanish speaking employee and she did know either, we started reviewing a spanish dictionary and google. During this process the Doctor, who spoke minimal spanish, said "infeccion de pan". So, pan means bread in english, so he was thinking yeast and bread. However, pan is also used as a spanish slang term for vulva. Fellow nurse and I looked at each other and held back our laughs and politely informed our provider how the word pan is used for spanish slang. The provider felt so horrible and no longer wanted to try speaking spanish. As the day went on he would just grin and at the end of the day we had a great laugh about it. The fellow nurse and I did not know if we should have informed him of the spanish slang, but he was so appreciative and informed us that he was so thankful and does not ever want to offend our spanish speaking community. We so enjoy working with our group of providers!!!

You will have to go to the KSBN website, go to forms. You will get a list of forms in PDF. Click on the petition to retest. It will give you the application, instructions and sample of completing forms. Hope this helps. I have completed the forms, if you need help let me know.

So how did you all prepare for the retake?

I have tried to take the Remar Review although I am unable to because it has been sold out. I have even tried to purchase the Remar Quick facts but that is sold out as well. Did you purchase the DVD/s and or Quick facts what do you recommend? Congratulations on becoming an RN

Congrats!!!!!!!!

How many questions did you have? Did you do any review courses?

Sorry, I meant to say did you get the "good"pop up?

Did you do the PVT?

Good Luck, Let us know how you do>

Well i did manage to take a week off of work and just reviewed the green saunders nclex comp review book and did the questions on the cd, i also read over the study guide that was postedbon here...... Thanks i still dont believe it though,,,, i just want to have official results in hand :)

Wow, it is just really hard to believe because i wasnt too for sure on a lot of things. Well good things can to everyone. I took all online classes for the LPN and we didnt get a whole lot of clinicals and i bombed the hesi. So i didnt plan on having the good pop up.

I just took the test this morning. I felt a little unsure, but after having 85 questions and having to continue, i thought i failed...... So i took a deep breath and prepared myself to complete all questions thinking 205. After about 20 more questions the computer shut off. Talk about confused. I immediately ran up to my motel room and logged on to the PEarsonvue to try the trick and i got the good pop up,,,,,,,, but i still cant believe it.

I am planning on taking my test in June 2012. If you still have notes i would also greatly appreciate it. [email protected]. Thanks,
