She is dead! And one person who IS affected is her 8 year old sister who is being forced to live with a corpse

A few months ago they went to court to try to convince the judge that Jahi is alive. If she were alive, they can bring her home to Cali and they can sue for unlimited millions. Since she is dead, they must stay in one of the 2 states that make legal exemption for someone claiming that their religion does not accept brain death as true death, and they cannot sue for more than $250k. Everyone thought that the courts would uphold the death certificate and that she would finally be allowed to RIP. Instead, judge Freeman said basically 'if she is alive, prove it'. They went back to court and instead of offering proof they filed a request to bifurcate the case in order to establish malpractice without first determining life or death. So, basically, they are admitting (without admitting it) that they have no proof and the girl is dead. So far all they offer as proof is reports of menstruation that cannot be proven, claims of breast development that can be disproven because they posted photos that proved she had breasts pre-death, and some hokey undated manipulated videos showing reflexive movement. As for her "maturing"--I don't think so! She was morbidly obese pre-op and she is losing weight due to wasting. Get rid of all that fat, and she is going to look more mature! Here is the article explaining what they are trying to do now: Medical Futility Blog: Jahi McMath Family Moves to Bifurcate Trial

Happened to me a year ago and I passed.

You graduated 4 years ago and failed 5 times. In my opinion you should take a review course. I know that is not cheap but after 4 years and that many failures it is pretty clear that you are missing something. Contact your school (or any school or the BON) an find a good course, after the course try Kaplan or a tutor to learn how to dissect an answer the questions. If you try to test again without getting that remediation the results are not as likely to be what you want.

Not completely sure, but I think that 3 is the limit in Colorado

ALL numbers are emotional on NCLEX. People pass and fail at 75, at 265, and at any number in between. Go do something fun for two days and if your state offers quick results you will know in 48 hours.

We got into a similar conversation at work-a CNA I am friendly with wants to go to nursing school and was considering DSN. Well...2015 NCLEX pass rates came out and DSN has a pass rate of only 78%. That in my opinion would make me run as far and fast as I could. The stats are awful. All that money and you do not emerge prepared to test. ugh!

No one know why it say business days. It is actually 48 hours

OP, most of us cry! Sorry, but no one on here is going to be able to tell you if you passed or failed. If anyone tries, it would be a guess. If you were a good student, did well in school on exams and really knew your content, there's a great chance you passed. Relax, and if PI offers quick results, you should be getting them soon. Good luck

For while they are studying: Phone numbers of classmates to form a study group (with their permission) Large water bottle Card with the hours of the school library (great place to study) A gift card to starbucks (another good place to study) Granola bars are good-any high protein snack I like the iTunes idea. There is also a phone app for practice questions, I don't think that is too expensive either Amazon has pharmacology flash cards that are awesome for around $25 if you budget allows.

ADNs have a tough time getting a hospital job here, but LTC, SNF, and clinics are easier.

Great post! And Congrats! I did all 265 and passed as well. I was so sure I failed that I spent the two days in the library studying to take it again. The test is a monster that steals your soul and crushes your confidence, but it's worth it. I love being a nurse.

If you are not able to go back and study what you got wrong, then I would say postpone. In my opinion, it is better to reschedule and give yourself plenty of opportunity to prepare than to fail.

Your fundamental and assessment books will be used for more than one class, as will med surg and possibly pharmacology. The other books are going to be used for one semester only. Those that you need for one semester can be rented at a huge discount. Pharmacology needs to be the edition they ask for because things change so quickily. Otherwise older editions if they are fairly recently published should be ok...but be careful to find out if there are assignments right from the book. My school never did that, but I know someone that went to school where they would have assignments like "answer questions 1-20 on page 200. You would need the right edition if you have classes that do that.

They go to court tomorrow! The judge made a statement that looks like CHO and Dr. Rosen will prevail and unless there is compelling evidence, he isn't going to consider overriding the death certificate. I'm hoping if the malpractice suit doesn't get thrown out, the judge will force the scamily to release the hospital and Drs from HIPAA so that they can finally tellus really happened!

We are lookie-loos with offended sensibilities

Nails was drinking and partying on some rooftop bar in NYC last weekend. A friend of hers put loads of photos on instagram and someone commented that it was for single ladies only, indicating the possibility that Marv has left the building.

Professor Pope posted both Dr. Rosen's and CHOs response to the scamily's nonsense on his website. The one from Dr. Rosen's lawyer is the best read. They both say essentially the same thing, but that one actually says that they should not litigate whether Jahi rose from the dead, and that it is all based on wishful thinking and a quest for monetary gain.

Last year when I was anew grad, it was not terrible, but a lot of my classmates got hired at places where they did clinicals. A lot of others walked their resumes in. The online application process is very unfriendly to anyone without experience. You might have better luck if you could come out here for a couple of weeks after you pass NCLEX. I got hired in L&D, but I did my practicum there so knew the managers.

I am guessing that if you were vomiting, you had to keep leaving the room. Therefore they are going to need to check videos, etc to be sure there was not a security violation or something that would indicate possible cheating. If they have to review all of that, it takes time, so results go on hold. Once they complete the review they will release results. I think I read on here that holds last up to 72 hours (I may be wrong though--and I don't know if they work on those reviews on weekends). I do know that being on hold is not an indication of either passing or failing. Best of luck!

There is no difference based on your degree. Some schools prepare you better than others, so checking NCLEX pass rates for schools that offer the different programs is what you want to look at.

I passed with 265. I was so sure I failed that I started studying the next day. I think everyone feels that way. Wait for the quick results and let us know how it goes.

Let's add clarification. It is 48 actual hours,not business hours. They post on weekends and holidays as well.

The SATA on Kaplan are a lot like those on the actual test. Some people manage to pass their first time without studying at all, others (like me) need a month or more of dedicated study. Take one of the predictor tests (Kaplan has them, Hurst does as well, not sure about other courses) and see how you do. If you decide you aren't ready, you can reschedule without penalty.

I hate responding to "Nursey" "honey" "sweetheart"...ect. I mean it is really hard to be professional when you want to yell "you don't know me like that!" Don't they know how disrespectful that sounds? If I am your nurse, I told you my name, it's on the whiteboard in your room I wear it on a name tag (with a really bad picture of me on it)! Use it, or if needed, just ring the call light and I will show up and you can see my badge again....anything but all those disrespectful cutesy names!
