I have taken my boards more than once, more than twice and more than 3x and it is really frustrating.:angryfire I think it would benefit me and anybody else out there in my boat if we formed a study group. I have been studying by myself all those times and it has obivously not worked and I thought I would try a different approach. I am in the Racine area but willing to work something out if some of you live in like Milwaukee or something. I plan on taking my boards again :o in January so if anyone is serious and interested, I would really love to form something so we can all go on with our lives as NURSES!!! How does that sound??? :yeah: Please contact me through my email address and let's get this show on the road. menmine5@netzero.net ]]> Wisconsin Nurses minenme5 http://allnurses.com/wisconsin-nurses/lets-study-439978.html http://allnurses.com/wisconsin-nurses/yeah-im-in-439929-new.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:46:14 GMT I received the call today I will be entering the third semester at WCTC LPN-Progression :yeah: Im...

Anyone out there in the southeastern part of Wisconsin would be interested in studying for the boards? I would like to study with a partner since studying by myself has not worked for me. Anyone out there interested, I would love to hear from you!!! :spin: ]]> Wisconsin Nurses minenme5 http://allnurses.com/wisconsin-nurses/study-buddy-438300.html http://allnurses.com/wisconsin-nurses/kenosha-gateway-wctc-438236-new.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:15:03 GMT I'm looking to get my ADN in nursing, and I live in Kenosha so Gateway seemed like the obvious choice, however, I've heard really really good things about the program at WCTC. I'm just wondering if anyone has gone through either program and could tell me how they felt about it? Also what is the petitioning like at both and how long does it usually take to get into clinicals? Any info would be great! ]]> Wisconsin Nurses soxgirl2008 http://allnurses.com/wisconsin-nurses/kenosha-gateway-wctc-438236.html http://allnurses.com/wisconsin-nurses/excelsior-student-intership-437700-new.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:56:27 GMT Was anyone able to get an internship while doing the Excelsior program, or do WI hospitals tend to...

Anyone out there getting ready to take the NCLEX RN boards withing the next couple of months and is somewhat near the Kenosha, Racine area? If so I would be interested in forming a study group in order to pass the boards. I have not had much luck in that area and thought it would be a great idea to get together with others that are in the same boat.

I have been denied on every application I have turned in to the 4 Madison hospitals - UW, St. Mary's, Meriter and the VA. I have applied to the hospitals in Stoughton, Columbus and Watertown.

I would prefer to work in a hospital but since I am not having much luck there, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions of other positions like companies that need a nurse on site, school nurse, home health etc.

I had no problem with my NCLEX (done in 83 questions, that made logical sense~most that is-ha) and have been working as a lpn for over 3 years now. My school says I have to take a hesi before I enter the rn transition program. I have taken the hesi twice and have not passed twice. I did better each time but still did not get the 850 required. The last time I took the test was in the head administators office and afterwards we talked about my frustration. They claimed that I should not be studing the lpn nclex or lpn reviews. They said I should study the RN NCLEX for the rn boards-I really don't get it. Why would I know the rn material when I am trying to become a rn and have not had that education yet. I go to school in MILWAUKEE..you can guess where. Bless all of you that say it was easy...and I'll pray for the most of us that face this highly questionable test...especially that I am a lic.PN and have passed my NCLEX already. What review, for those of you that passed this type of hesi test situation, should I be reviewing? A friend said saunders helped them, but which one the lpn or rn?
