2. I got 77...does that seem odd?

   shellntx replied to augirl4ever's topic in NCLEX

   My friend and I went on the same day. We prayed in the bathroom before the test. She prayed for us each to get 75 questions. I did, she got 76. I told her God was picking on her! We both passed! So, no 77 isn't really odd, you just got 2 more qu...

3. Licensing question

   shellntx replied to shellntx's topic in New Nurse

   It has something to do with not only the month you were born, but also the year. They try to get you on a cycle where your license has to be renewed every two years at the end of the month of your birthday. My birthday is in an even year, so to get...

4. Licensing question

   shellntx replied to shellntx's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks for your reply! I called the BNE this morning, and they explained it to me. I just freaked out last night. I thought maybe I "barely passed" the NCLEX or something!

5. Licensing question

   shellntx posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hey everyone! I have question. I am in Texas (obviously - my name) and I have a question. I graduated, passed the NCLEX, and today I saw my license information on the BNE website. The date (I'm guessing expiration date) says 12/31/06. Isn't that...

6. Feeling nervous with the idea of finishing

   shellntx replied to AussieKylie's topic in New Nurse

   I know exactly how you feel. Most of the time I feel like I don't know anything, and I wonder how I will ever manage without my instructors! Many nurses have told me it will be okay. They say everything we need to know, we learn on the job. Keep y...

7. House, MD last night.....AAAGH!

   shellntx replied to SteveNNP's topic in General Nursing

   I wish I had seen this. I tried to watch Gray's Anatomy when it first came on, but on two different episodes derogatory comments were made about nurses, so I stopped watching. I know it's just entertainment, but some people believe what they watch ...

   shellntx replied to IvoryLena's topic in General Students

   I just finished my ped's rotation today. I think I got more out of this clinical than any of the others. I loved it. Good luck, and have fun!

   Hi guys! I don't post very often, but I really need to scream right now! I am in an ADN program in the second semester. We had our first test last Friday 2/04. I passed the test. Then on Friday 2/11, the instructors announced in class that they ...

10. has anyone failed a semester

    shellntx replied to 2ner's topic in General Students

    I failed Pathophysiology my first semester (by.2 point), and I could not continue in the program until I passed. I passed, and am now working on being readmitted into the program where I left off. I had to take a test from the NLN and I have to per...

11. Tell me how to survive pharmocology.

    shellntx replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    It helped me to focus on the class of the drug as opposed to the specific drugs. There are just so many! And the Davis drug guide is a big help! Good luck! :)

    shellntx replied to Nurse2bSandy's topic in General Students

    Oh, yes! I'm working on the yard sale, food in the freezer and all of that too. I'm so worried that my children will hate me when this is over, but they are my main motivation. I want to set an example for them. My orientation (where we will orde...

    Hi! I'm 32, married, and I have 2 children (6yrs & 8 mos.) I'm starting the ADN program in September, and I'm getting really nervous. Terrified is more like it. :uhoh21:

    shellntx replied to shellntx's topic in Career Support

    Thank you for sharing your story with me. It is so inspiring to hear what others have gone through to become a nurse. I started pre-req's in 1990, but quit because I thought I could never make it financially. Now things are a little more stable, a...
