  1. Finally found out why PV had not sent my ATT. Here was the problem

    Good luck!! If you want to take it earlier, keep checking Pearson Vue to see if there have been cancellations. I originally scheduled mine for July 1, then June 24, then June 18 and finally June 14. I had no problem getting my ATT, but now the pro...
  2. Moving to Ventura County

    I used to live in Camarillo and "commute" to Ventura to Community Memorial Hospital (I worked tele there). I worked nights, so I had to sit in traffic on the my way home in the morning. I only had to go as far as Camarillo and it usually took me ab...
  3. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Ugh!! I took it on 6/14, and it looks like I'll be waiting at least another 2-3 weeks to find out for sure if I passed. I called the BRN today and they said that once they receive our transcripts it still takes about another 2 weeks to process them...
  4. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Grrrr...I'm so frustrated!! I took the NCLEX 6/14/10 and I called my school yesterday to see if our transcripts have even been mailed to the BRN yet, and I was told no b/c they had to wait for the degrees to post before they could mail them, so they...
  5. Took NCLEX RN this morning.

    On the Q bank questions my average was 65%, and on all the question trainers I was between 63% and 67%, and on the Readiness exam I got a 73%. I got a 66% and 67% on Question trainer 6 and 7, and per Kaplan, they advise you should aim for a 60%, so ...
  6. Got a job interview!

    I worked at Planned Parenthood as an MA when I was working on my first BS. It was not at all how people characterize PP, and I LOVED working there. Best of luck to you!!!
  7. My Frustration w/ Kaplan

    To the OP, I completely agree with all that you have said. I found the QBank questions to be way more challenging and at times the rationales were quite contradictory. However, that being said, now that I've taken the NCLEX, I'm glad that I made th...
  8. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    How long did it take for your license to show up on the CA BON?? The waiting is killing me!! LOL. I did get the good pop up, but still - I need to see my name show up on the license verification before I can relax...lol. Why's CA so freaking slow...
  9. Took NCLEX RN this morning.

    I took Kaplan's Review Course, and I'm really glad I did. I felt really well prepared for the types of questions asked. I don't know that I would have felt as confident had I done it all on my own. Good luck!
  10. Took NCLEX RN this morning.

    OMG - I'm so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one who had a buch of SATA - I didn't think to count how many, but it seriously felt like every other question. And honestly, I never do well on SATA. I was done in 75 questions and my last one wa...
  11. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    I graduated with a BS in an another field 12 years ago, and I was pinned yesterday and will be graduating with my ADN tomorrow. I don't remember much about my BS graduation, but I don't think I will ever forget my pinning ceremony. All of my heart ...
  12. Class of 2010!! let's hear you!

    Pinning June 1! Woo Hoo!! So glad to be done!
  13. What do you wear to class?

    When I first started my program, the dress code for lecture days was professional dress, which included no jeans and no flip flops. However, people were too loosely interpreting the dress code, so starting last semester we are only allowed to wear s...
  14. May 2010 Graduates Check-in

    Congratulations everyone! My pinning is June 1. Hearing that people are already graduating and being pinned makes June 1 seems sooooo far away - especially since I still have 5 more days of clinical and an ATI exam. But I know June 1 will be here...
  15. Who pinned you?

    It seems a little odd to me to not have an RN, whether it's a friend, family member or faculty pin you. Our class can choose anyone to pin us, the only stipulation is that he or she must be an RN.
