   beckyvon replied to mack7580's topic in New Nurse

   I graduated in December 2007 in New Jersey and moved to North Carolina almost immediately after graduation. I had a job waiting for me there. I did some internet research, sent out some resumes and set up several interview for a 3-4 day trip that I...

5. February NCLEX takers.....

   beckyvon replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in New Nurse

   Well, I took mine today. I am still in a bit of a daze. I ended up getting about 210 questions. I was never really one to have test anxiety. But this time was different. I serioulsy felt like I was going to pass out! So going into the test feel...

   beckyvon replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in New Nurse

   I test on Feb 1st. Im really starting to freak out. I have steadily been doing about 300-400 questions a day, but still dont feel as though I am prepared. I just have to go for it and hope for the best I suppose.

10. Taking the NCLEX in January? Stop in here...

    beckyvon replied to allthingsbright's topic in New Nurse

    Did you pay your money to Pearson Vue? The BON will send the info on to Pearson Vue and they issue the ATT. Also, mine came in my junk email inbox and almost got deleted. You might want to check that. Good luck getting a Jan test date, that seems ...

    beckyvon posted a topic in New Nurse

    beckyvon replied to allthingsbright's topic in New Nurse

    I test Feb 1st, couldn't get a Jan test date. I hope I have positive restults like the others on the board. I am just having trouble motivating myself to study. This being home all day stuff was kind of fun for a week or 2, especially around the h...

13. No Motivation To Study For NCLEX

    beckyvon replied to land64shark's topic in New Nurse

    I can't seem to get motivated either. Most of my classmates took NCLEX review courses, but with Christmas and no job right now until NCLEX, the money wasnt there for it. Plus it's an awful lot of money to learn strategies, which were pretty much dr...
