both, I got one yesterday and got a letter from the board I passed over a month ago, so don't worry. They buy the names from the board and just send them out. Again it means nothing. Chet

I passed and still getting the brochures, It does not mean anything. The board just takes awhile to get the paperwork done Chet

True, but I am on many other forums , crit care, trauma, PA and NP forums. I never hear anyone complain of losing their scope. It all seems to come from nurses. I have lost one scope, as a paramedic and know who took it. She took it when she left the...

Depends on a few factors. What are you going to use it for? If you need to hear quiet murmurs then you should have a high end scope. If you are not working in an area that is that detailed a good, but lower end scope should work fine. The bottom line...

If you live in San Diego, go up to the Med School bookstore. I am sure u can try them there. Might not carry the ultrascope tho. Chet

Hi, sorry it took so long to reply, I got a ltr from the board at just about two weeks. So I imagine you have heard by now. Chet

How many of you use the Merck Manual, and what do u think of it. Chet

What everyone else has said. Be Safe Chet

A nurse is a nurse Chet

Don't know where u live but most colleges that have nursing programs have that sort of thing in the bookstore. Also if you are in a big city with a medical school, try their book store. Also nursing uniform store have them most of the time. Chet

I worked at one hospital that had a bin at the department door to dump all the hospital's stuff in it as you left work, tape, swabs etc. I figured after awhile it did add up in saving the hospital money. Chet

It has been a loooooooong two weeks but got a letter from the board today and I passed the NCLEX-PN Now I need a beer :) Thanks to everyone for their good wishes. Chet

I took mine on the 9th and got the letter yesterday that I passed. Letter was dated the 21 I got 85 questions Chet

Thanks All :)

I took the NCLEX two weeks ago, and still waiting. I am driving my friends nuts. As I have said before, Waiting sucks Chet

Your MBA would be a major asset. I am redo my LVN, then into the first RN program I can get into. Off to work Chet

I was a LVN/LPN. I let my lic go, but took the NCLEX last week to redo it. I was a paramedic before that. Go for the RN, with your degree it would be easy to work into managment. Chet

I have never had anyone say anything or act different around me while nursing. Fact I believe I had advantages. I have had one or two female patients request a female nurse but that was rare, and understandable. I took no offense by it. Go for what Y...

Here in CA we do not have quick results. I took mine 8 days ago and still waiting. The board told me 2 weeks, but I am waiting for the mailperson everyday. Waiting sucks Chet

Hi, most people pass at 85 questions. I you felt good till then I am sure you did fine. Mine shut off at 85 too, and waiting for my results. Waiting sucks. I live in CA who does not have quick results. I am sure you did fine. Chet

Try http://www.scrubsunlimited.com/scrubcaps.htm might have what you want Chet

I am 54 (going on 18) and returning to nursing. Took my NCLEX yesterday. Hope to find a job in a ED. (former paramedic) Chet

Well I took it and now the wait begins. Who knows Chet

I took mine today too, and feel the same way. I took the paper one too years ago (passed it just fine), and felt different about this one. Who knows how I did. Sure did not seem like 85 questions, but it ended, but I was not watching the numbers. Bei...

Hi if you live in a big city try the local med school book store (or dental school). I have found good stuff at good prices. Might not be on display, might have to ask.
