Another memorable patient comes to mind. I was precepting a young man, new nurse who had a....shall we say....effeminate manner? I took him with me to my patient rooms, as he was matched with me for the shift's assignments. I introduced myself, in...

OH.MY.GAWWD. blecch.

I guess the only thing I could offer at this point is that merely having a 'hold' on the results doesn't mean she failed....doesn't mean she passed....it just "IS". Good luck to you mom!

ROFL....too much. Spouts off nonsense....and then screams when called on it. Funny!

Hang in there! Getting all the questions means you were in the running, either just above or just below the passing line for the duration of the test. At this point, your exam will be reviewed to see if you have what is called a "final ability esti...

What on earth ARE you talking about? You aren't making much sense. Those of us who have been keeping up on NCLEX changes (and along with that, the endless PVT queries) simply pass on what we know to those who WANT to know. YOU, it seems, are equating...

How about calming down and losing the incredibly rude attitude? I posted because what you were saying to someone else was wrong. On a public forum, you do not dictate who does and does not post, so you can lose that, too. In case OTHERS are reading t...

Lap choles are commonly 23 hour admits. So...you get them overnight.

The QA review of every NCLEX is done within 24 hours of completion of the exam. The first score is immediate, which is why your test closed when it did. At some unknown point during the following 24 hours, a Quality Assurance evaluation of the exam i...

48 hours is a guideline, people CAN and HAVE gotten their Quick Results at Hour 46. Sometimes, if a QA review is in order (a hold has been placed, without the candidate's knowing), then QR will be unavailable until that audit is complete. "Not a min...

COULD I? Yes. WILL I? No. Because sifting through hundreds of threads to prove to you something that is already pretty well-known by those who have been regular readers of this forum is a colossal waste of time. For those of us following this for th...

Huge majority of the time people report feeling stunned, confused, shocked, and disheartened because they were certain they must have failed. Huge majority of the time these people later report passing. :) Hang in there. You'll know soon!

Review programs can order vouchers (pre-paid registrations) and then bundle them into the cost of the program for the consumer. If you didn't have such an offer as part of a purchased program, you can't get one now. They are non-transferrable, and ...

What is a "nurse petitioner"? Who is being petitioned...and for what?

"Ned surf"....LOL, I hope you were using voice recognition on your phone when doing this and didn't notice the gaff If you mean "med-surg", that IS the normal stomping ground of new grads, not a highly competitive specialized unit. As far as seekin...

I once had a patient who "Presented Butt". Meaning that when she got herself up from the bedside commode, she would stick her butt out and lean forward on the over-the-bed table to have someone WIPE her BACKSIDE. She was there for an ORIF of her a...

The story may be a hoax, but at least it opens up the opportunity to discuss infection control /disease prevention with people who might not have been listening before!

Yeah....that's what I was musing about a couple pages ago VERY familiar!

yeah.....NO. Can't buy this at all. HIV dies within minutes of leaving a host, and once the fluid it's in is dry....it's done. ONLY way I can see this as a possibility is if the person DOING the weave on the girl was HIV+, stuck HERSELF--bled on th...

Having followed this board for years, I bet I've seen someone who could say they had every possible number of questions. For PN, that would be 120 people with every quantity of questions between min and max, and for RN, 190 people with every quantit...

I need to find out more about GBM (glioblastoma) brain tumors, and current treatments. Situation is patient has just had a GBM (primary CA) removed from occipital lobe, will undergo radiation and low-dose oral chemo. Chemo will be ongoing, scans q2mo...

It is an expensive Magic 8 Ball. Most of the time, the computer registration will not let you pay if you passed. Sometimes, though, it DOES. $200 non-refundable. If it doesn't let you pay it doesn't necessarily mean you passed....and if you DO pa...

I say it's all about the shoe covers. Really, who knows WHAT you are stepping in when you walk down the halls, or into a patient's room? Just because the floor isn't wet doesn't mean it isn't festering with enough germs to allow them to climb up yo...

Since the OP's tagname is "BS to BSN", I'm guessing he/she is either still working on getting the degree and not yet a licensed nurse or not yet even in a nursing program (and is evaluating how the schools in his/her area measure up --is this correct...

Some people appreciate teamwork, and recognize that each level of licensure brings something to the table. And others don't. Some RNs delegate well and treat LPNs well....and some don't. Some LPNs take delegation well and treat RNs well....and som...
