In KY we have to work 120 hrs as an RNA before we can take nclex. I don't start work until Jan 14 so my guess would be taking nclex first of March. All I am using is Suzannes guide. Just started the second step. Good luck to everyone.

Hi again 1OldDinosaurRN!! I worked atEMRMC as a PCT about 2 yrs ago and loved it. But I haven't decided if I want to work there again. I think I will probably put in at all of the surrounding hospitals and see what choices I have. Lea Anne
