NCLEX - MS Nursing Review on CANCER
This NCLEX - MS Nursing Review Video presents some basic facts about cancer, its early signs, and the ways on how nurses can manage the side effects of the chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
"Because of a mutation nature didn't improve him (although the mutation might happen a few generation earlier) but he got a deadly disease. That's how evolution works. Animals die and evolve that way, humanity accepts that. But we can't accept our species to die: It's not 'human'. There we avoid rules of nature, right?"

step 3 for NCLEX
After the Exam
The time after finishing NCLEX and awaiting results is filled with anticipation for many candidates.
Unofficial and Official Results
If your board of nursing participates in the Quick Results Service, you can receive your “unofficial” results 48 hours after the exam. This service is available for $7.95 on the Pearson VUE NCLEX Candidate website. You can also call 1.900.776.2539 ($9.95 for the call).
Official results are ONLY available through your board of nursing and will be mailed to you approximately one month after the exam. Do NOT call NCSBN, your board of nursing, Pearson VUE NCLEX Candidate Services or the Pearson Professional Centers for results.
Candidates Who Don't Pass
If you didn't pass the exam you'll receive an NCLEX Candidate Performance Report (CPR). The CPR is an individualized document that shows how a candidate performed in each of the test plan content areas. Candidates who fail the exam can use the CPR as a guide to prepare them to retake the examination.
Retaking NCLEX
Do the following if choosing to retake NCLEX:
Contact your board of nursing and notify them that you plan to retake the examination. Determine what fees or materials you need to submit to the board.
Reregister with Pearson VUE and pay the $200 fee.
Wait to receive your new ATT.
Schedule your new exam.
You’ll need to wait a minimum of 45 to 90 days between each examination. This length of time is determined by the board of nursing and will be reflected in the new ATT’s validity dates.

Review the candidate exam day process and rules while taking the exam at a Pearson Professional Center. Here are a few important points:
Be Prepared

Provide Your Biometrics
In order to be tested, the following biometrics will be taken: signature, photograph, palm vein scan and fingerprint.
Receive Materials
You may not bring in paper or writing instruments for this computer-administered exam. An on-screen calculator and erasable note board/marker for making notes will be provided.
Set Your Pace
You'll have up to 6 hours to complete the RN exam, 5 hours for the PN exam, including the short tutorial and 2 optional breaks (the first 2 hours into testing, the second after 3.5 hours of testing).
