Pearson Vue issued me a new username but I was still unable to register to re-sit for about 7 weeks after my first attempt. The Y means that the topic on that row may be included in the test in the correlating column, an E means that it is an essen...

I passed! I'll post more later about what it was like :)

Error

Oh thats interesting that you are doing it in NICU, is your role very limited? Sometimes I'm a bit suspicious about what the agency says. In a few hours I will be sitting the exam for the second time.... fingers crossed!

shimtastic i have no idea what the pass rate is but it was very very low and is now improving. foxtrotunicorns thanks and it was on of the UK agencies who told me that... they were organising ONP placements for nurses and they said that it was always...

I think if we fail the exam they should allow us to do the ONP if we had received an offer... however I have heard that you can't do it in specialty areas and I am only interested in ED and ICU! Thedude9 I had the same problem as everyone else but ev...

I'm so glad to hear that people are passing now, the agency I've been speaking to have said that in the last week or so they have had a fair few pass when before they only had one pass. I'm now a lot more relaxed about retaking it and in exactly one...

When you do the practice Qs you select a button which says something along the lines of 'show answer' or 'check answer' on each question page. I'm not authorised for any attempts after this and it's my second i'm not sure why some people seem to hav...

I'm registered to retake (refail) the test on the 19th of Jan, after about a month of taking it the first time I was able to rebook, which due to few appts meant it will be > 2 months between tests. I spoke to PV and they reset my account with a ...

Are you sure thats the right twitter name? Just had a look and the only NMC one i can find is @nmcnews which is only stuff they have released, I would love to read what others have tweeted

I just got the same email and also had a brief period of hope that my result may have changed but alas, still a fail! I only have one authorisation and it says that it isn't until the 16 of Jan even though I sat the exam more than 28 days ago. I wo...

alfredpower I'm in Australia but I've been getting advice from the Continental Travel Nurse agency

I did the free practice test and didn't find it to be overly useful but it's free so I would recommend doing it. I haven't seen anywhere you can get the paid practice test from. I still can't register to re-sit the test but the agency I've been ta...

There is also a question that has no correct answer... unless their "AND" was meant to be "OR"

Does anyone use nebulised lignocaine (or equivalent) when inserting NGs? The place I work now does but nowhere I've worked before has and I'm a bit unsure of it. I know there is a study or two which (allegedly) concluded that it decreases pain and ...

Know everything about inflammation! Try to get your head around cellular level physiology and everything else will make more sense. Think clinically e.g. why/how does disease A cause symptom X Use case studies to solidify your learning Use acronyms...

Difficult to answer being unsure of what you have been taught in this subject but consider lithium toxicity as this could contribute to many of the patients symptoms and anyone on lithium needs their levels checked. With an elevated creatinine the p...

I just tried to book my re-test (which is probe 130 pounds down the toilet) and yesterday on the Pearson Vue site I could see the available time slots and i was authorised to sit it again and today when I went to pay again suddenly I'm not authorised...

So thankful I live in Australia

[Take it from me, most atheists (or people who practice a religion that's in the minority) that live in a highly religious area are so used to it, they probably won't blink an eye.] So thankful I live in Australia

Most of the essential questions are based on the NMC publications such as the guidance for medication management, obtaining consent, use of confidential information and obviously the code, I would trawl the NMC site and read everything they have! Go...

No apparently they can't give you a score either

So I called the NMC to find out if I could receive a score or if they were considering changing the exam... the person I spoke to knew nothing and said that no one would know anything.... helpful hey! I asked if the questions came from a pool or whe...

SO = standing order, Endone is 5mg oxycodone normal release not slow release like oxycontin...don't know what your equivalent is... My hospital is in a lovely area and we share services with the closest hospital... we take kids, they take mental heal...

It's not a huge problem where I work, if I open up their electronic record and see that they've been in 30 times in 6 months then I usually wouldn't give it. The only oxycodone we can give via SO is 5mg Endone (don't know if you call it something el...
