2. Took NCLEX-PN today...feeling really bad

   striving2007 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I took my NCLEX exam this morning and it shut off at 85. Now that I am at home I am finding things in my book that I marked wrong. I am so discouraged and think that I might have failed. I had several pharm questions and select all that apply. I am j...

   striving2007 replied to witter11's topic in LPN/LVN

   I am glad to hear that you all LOVE working third-shift. I just graduated from a PN program today and plan to work third-shift after I take state boards. A lot of class mates thought that I was crazy for wanting to work third-shift but I have my re...

5. NCLEX--shut off at 85?!?!

   striving2007 replied to SillyNurse2B's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Last week a classmate asked my instructor the same question. What it really boils down to is, whether you have 85 questions, 95 questions, or 205 questions, there is no way to tell if you passed or failed based off of the number of questions you rec...

   striving2007 replied to millerdpmgmt's topic in General Nursing

   I attend a private college (graduation Sept 7, 07). There was a two-year waiting list at the community college that I attended. I decided to pay more money than wait two years and possibly be accepted to community college.

8. Plus size nursing students

   striving2007 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in General Students

   I am a plus size nursing student. I wear a 20. I had no problem finding uniforms. Every uniform store that I have been to has my size; even Walmart. When I had clinicals in the OR they had scrubs to fit my size. Don't worry. You'll be fine. T...

10. Is LPN a good first step?

    striving2007 replied to dari98's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently in an LPN program and I graduate this September 7th. I chose to become an LPN first because I wanted to be able to work as an LPN while having my employer foot the bill (all or some) for me to become an RN. There are so many differe...

13. nursing school suggestions

    striving2007 replied to LPNMOM2B's topic in Indiana

    I would strongly advise against Brown Mackie. I have heard terrible things about them. My best friend applied to get in and they just didn't seem to have it together. They even wanted her to put down $1,200.00 just to start (and then pay $234.00 a...

14. New LPN program in Indiana

    striving2007 replied to WickedRedRN's topic in Indiana

    I'm not goint to knock anyone for paying too much for school. The way I see it...they make it almost impossible to get into these nursing programs; so when you finally do get into one you are willing to pay. I attend Olympia College in Merrillville ...
