I am now doing clinical at our local children's hospital and i am assigned to a patient who has a repaired omphalocele(completely healed) this 3 year old has been admitted for observation. I was doing assessment with my preceptor and she said that because of the omphalocele, the patient has no bowel sounds. I auscultated his abdomen and i heard bowel tones, of course you have to listen a little bit longer otherwise you might come to the conclusion that there aren't any bowel sounds. She insisted that he has "no bowel times because his insides are all mixed up." I told her i heard bowel tones and of course it is most prominent in the midsection because that's were the sac is after the repair. The pt has a G-J tube and received tube feedings into his J for 23 hours a day and is being introduced to g-tube feeding by bolus twice daily. I was thinking ok, the pt is receiving feeding into his bowel so obviously he has peristalsis and movement there otherwise he'd have an obstruction or milk would be backing up and he'd regurgitate. and he is having normal output. How could you say that he absolutely has no bowel tones?? what do you guys think??? its really bothering me.

Does pearson notify BON that you failed NCLEX or will they go unnotified until you receive your CPR letter that you did not pass?? I am beginning to think I failed. I tried the PVT and it let me register. im sad. i thought i was really ready...i think i failed..

did pearson charge her credit card? or she never submitted?

NI took my NCLEX yesterday at 2pm and I am waiting on my NCLEX results. The computer shut down after 85 questions and the last 4-5 questions were prioritization questions. I'm so nervous, I don't know if I passed or failed. I looked up some of the questions I remembered and I got most of them wrong. But I don't think I did so bad that I failed... I don't know anymore. Some people said they have an active license 6 hours to 24 hours after their test. I'm nearing my 24 hour mark. I called my BON and they said they have not received results. Should I do the PVT or wait for quick results? Does it still work or did Pearson Vue put a stop on that trick???? if I do try to do the Pearson Vue trick and it let me register and charged my cc, does that mean I failed?? I hear that some people got charged yet passed their NCLEX.. how ow long did you guys wait until you saw "active" RN license?
