   Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations on finishing nursing and your upcoming wedding! I truly admire everyone who puts themselves through nursing school....especially while raising a family! Save this for him for the future...he will definitely lo...

3. Just for Today

   ValerieCQ replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   Nicely said! They always tell you in nursing school that "nurses eat their young." And boy did I come across some those nurses both in clinicals and in the work force. I would often come home from clinicals frustrated thinking "don't they remember...

4. Ten Things A Nurse Doesn't Want to Hear

   ValerieCQ replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   heard them all and then some. only thing i have to say is, it's not really the fault of medical assistants, techs and other medical support staff for being mistaken for nurses. the general public just thinks that anyone who's in scrubs is nurse. i...

   i felt the same way when i saw the small envelope in the mail. but i too failed...again. don't give up. try suzanne's plan. that's what i'm hoping to do also. i have to wait a week though and redo the first part before contacting her again. goo...

6. Did anyone do ATI while in nursing school?

   ValerieCQ replied to richwv's topic in NCLEX

   CONGRATULATIONS! I hope to start Suzanne's plan also.

7. Did anyone do ATI while in nursing school?

   ValerieCQ replied to richwv's topic in NCLEX

   I too had to do ATI because our program required it. I didn't like it all and didn't feel that it helped me on the NCLEX. Most of my classmates did not like ATI as well. Out of a class of 20, about 5 really like ATI for the NCELX. So I think it'...

8. New Grad and NCLEX prep

   ValerieCQ replied to shangrila's topic in NCLEX

   I've used Kaplan, Saunders, and ATI for reviews. They each have their own good points. I especially liked Kaplan because of their strategies. After taking their course, my scores on practice tests improved greatly. I had five other classmates who too...

9. Officially giving up

   ValerieCQ posted a topic in NCLEX

   The wait for NCLEX-RN results is agonizing! I tested during the holiday week last month and have yet to receive results. All of my classmates who have passed saw their name on the BRN website within 3-4 days. Mine never showed up. And it's hard fo...

10. Too long to get the results?

    ValerieCQ replied to flygirls2's topic in NCLEX

    i'm in the same boat as you. i took the nclex-rn during the holiday weeks and still no results. people keep saying that it may take longer because of the holidays, but like you, i keep losing hope as each day goes by. anyway, good luck! i hope you...

11. Continuing to Date After Nursing School

    my fiance and i went through lvn school together and saw eachother ALL the time. so it was nice to have some "me time" when i could get it. when i went through RN school, that kept me extremely busy. now, i know we weren't miles away, but me being...

    Good luck!

13. Nervous about taking NCLEX-RN

    ValerieCQ replied to go mizzou's topic in NCLEX

    Honestly, the number of questions you get doesn't determine if you pass or fail. I've seen it go both ways...pass at 75, fail at 75 and same for 265. When you go into the test, be prepared to answer the full 265. When I first took the exam, I kept...

14. Nervous about taking NCLEX-RN

    ValerieCQ replied to go mizzou's topic in NCLEX

    I used Kaplan and I believe that their questions are at the level of difficulty for the NCLEX. But also use other sources for questions as well. Good luck!

    just wondering... of those of you that have taken the NCLEX-RN here in CA (or know anyone who has)...have any of you received PASSING results in the mail BEFORE your name showed up on the website?
