Reflect on this! IMPORTANT!!

Wooooooooowee well aren't we just a ray of sunshine :). Let's contemplate if I would like someone with your attitude to be my nurse, shall we?

Oh my goodness! It's probably a good thing you didn't pass. You need to re-examine your attitude before you start practicing nursing. yikes.

Ok it's time to officially say it! I HATE THE NCLEX-RN EXAM and its godly creators! And I think whoever implemented it is/are just sick(s) ! So that equals to "sick wanna-be gods" It doesn't make ANY (just for the pervert sake of using the so-much-hated nclex-style bold key words that to me are not key at all!) sense that I have studied for the BSN, did great while at it and now a so-called "authority" is preventing me from working! That's sick and stupid! And then we hear things such as "oh but they are not testing your knowledge. They want to measure your critical thinking abilities". Oh please shut up! I had enough of all this ****! The world is collapsing, spilling water (ie. blood) from every possible "corner", people are dying because of the economy (suicide, murder, famine) and we are here sitting in front of a Bill Gate's or Steve Job's precious goblet to sing about what's critical????? Get up people! If I did not pass the NCLEX-RN the second time it just means it's full of ****! And the threads about it just prove it! Thousands of people panicking and going ballistic after the exam having no-clue, no idea in the world whatsoever (!!!) if they passed or failed or just lived a dream with the connotations of a nightmare (here again having no clue as to what its substantial nature looks like!). Then you have the morons singing and clapping their hands "I passed, I made it, I am an RN!!!". Well, excuse the **** out of me, mr and mrs RN. You think you weren't an RN already before taking the test? You needed a test to tell you that you are an RN? Oh sorry, you were just a N without a R. A simple Nurse in other words! Sorry we cannot be Nurses! So just don't let the public call us Nurses! It's an offense to all those who implemented the test! Where's their role in all this? They MUST get a percentage! And what a high one, by the way! I spent hundreds of dollars on this and I hope that whomever got my money will use it on medicines! Not kidding! And no, I don't need nursing interventions to manage anger and lividness! I am as calm as the sick ones that implemented the test and said, "oh by the way, let's raise the passing standard again!"[/quote']

Tell 'em why you mad! Lol

Whoa!!!! I think you need to breathe and read your username.

LOL, right! :)

I hope you'll find a change of attitude before the good lord lets you move forward.

Wow, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning ...

Ummm, actually, you do have to "pass the test" (and meet whatever other criteria a particular state requires) to get licensed as an RN, so the "morons" who are celebrating actually do "need the test" to tell them they are RNs. Until you pass the NCLEX and get a state license, one is just a person with a nursing degree, not an RN.

It's a licensed occupation; you have to be licensed by the state to practice; every state requires passage of the NCLEX to be licensed. Was that not made clear to you earlier in this process? I'm sorry that you're having a hard time, but it's not some kind of conspiracy to make your life miserable; it's the same process all of us have (had) to go through.

I'm not really seeing your point, but I hope getting this off your chest is helping you feel better.

You're right, except for one little thing: the so-praised NCLEX-RN examination is not ONLY about content!

So, move on and get over the "licensing" crap!

Standardizing our practice ensures patient safety, nurse competency and has allowed our craft to become a respected profession, friend. If you're cool with letting a random person who strolls on in and pinky swears they're a great nurse go to work on your loved one, by all means have at it.

And the NCLEX-RN standardizing what? Sorry, I don't get it!

Also, since you're so knowledgeable could you please explain to us all here standing the mystery about nclex-rn takers not having a clue whatsoever as to whether they passed the test or not? Now, that's a big mystery! Is that part of the standardization process that you adorably mentioned?
