New NAPLEX scores officially released

[SClENCE]

Any school under 80% should just be shut down. 50% pass rate? Are you kidding me?

I saw an article that a pharmacist gave an opioid instead of antibiotics. I wonder if these students in this case will call and tell the patient to go to ER immediately.

ok so the guy went to the safe or lockbox and thought he was getting antibiotics? they store opioids and antibiotics next to each other? this sounds like troll talk buddy, any references? ...........exactly..............

I don't know why you are digging up a 3+ month old thread but I will bite: B.C. man hospitalized after pharmacy accidentally gives him powerful opioid

It was Canada, but it did happen (also very close to the time of this original post). Additionally, every store I worked at only locked up C2's leaving several C3's for a potential mix-up (Tylenol #3 for example) that doesn't involve the safe.

Does anyone want to sell their 2020 PNN book?
I’m interested. Send me a msg

For NAPLEX, agreed; I would argue for 90% or higher. However, what about the MPJE cutoff?

70% or higher. MPJE is a harder test.

Geeze... I remember when I took the NAPLEX... Failing was not an option whatsoever. I studied day and night for about 2 weeks before I took it.

I think it’s excessive student loan returns which fuel video game addiction or something like that. These kids are just too damn lazy.

It's that + the fact that these grads can't find jobs afterwards.. so why study for an exam that won't even guarantee them a job

Because failing guarantees no job.

I think you are a new pharmacist? Just a suggestion. If you are ever involved with a serious medication error - you should always recommend that they call their doctor, or just go to the ER, right away.
If the patient experiences an ADR, and you took the captains seat, it’s sue central.

That was his point, that these new graduates who barely passed NAPLEX, and that only after 3 or 4 tries, how often will they recognize a serious med errror compared to a non-serious med error?

 

[BidingMyTime]

Those scores are ridiculously low. Yikes, I am embarrassed by my alma matar's average......it was like 98% when I graduated, it's much lower than that now. And while a few schools scores have went up, going through the list, it seems like most schools scores are on a downward trend, even the "good" schools. This has to go back to the pool of candidates that they have to select from.

All these people who keep posting for advice on how to pass NAPLEX after failing it 2 or 3 times, need to look at this list. Schools are seriously failing their students.

MCP Boston actually went up from 2017 prob because fewer misguided parents stopped pushing their kids into it (I mean still bad like sub-85% but it was ~75% in 2017 either all attempts or first-timers)


Nice CPJE results for April-Nov 2019 too

Don't have to run a chi-square test to know that this is garbo

Everyone should pass the NAPLEX the first time unless they are seriously ill and can't get it refunded/moved. Seriously, it is pass/fail and no one will ever care what your score was other than passing. I failed a MPJE by a point for a state I hadn't worked in before. I would figure MPJE passing rate is depressed by people taking it for other states where they are less familiar.

Flip it around. Losing by an inch or a mile is still losing. No license and prob no job
